I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker. Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

Hi there Lutostan,
It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

You can obtain service (if needed) through an Apple-Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store please make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Perhaps you disturbed or loosened the HDMI or other cable from the cable box to the TV?

Cannot get sound through my surround sound tv - only pictures - sound works fine through tv speakers - why is this?

Apple TV is working for pictures and sound via my television speakers but I cannot get sound via my surround sound speakers with HDMI or an Optical Lead.
Anyone care to advise me what I may have done wrong in the connections?

If you have connected your TV by HDMI via your receiver and you get sound from your TV but not your receiver then the problem must lie within your receiver or its settings. Check the manual to ensure you have selected the correct settings for it.

Can't get sound through my big speakers

Hello all,
I just hooked up my new Apple TV and all works fine BUT can't get any sound through my big floor speakers, only through the tinny TV speaker (Samsung 46" LED).
The big speakers are powered by an older Onkyo FM AM receiver with no optical digital audio port. I currently enjoy sound from these speakers when watching my Comcast cable stations or my DVD player, choosing respectfully between video 1 and video 2 ports on the receiver.
Question: Do I need a new receiver with an optical digital audio port, to be then connected to the Apple TV via this cable ?
My Comcast cable box has such a port. What would happen if I connected an optical digital audio cable from the Comcast box to my Apple TV ? Would the sound find its way into my big speakers while watching Netflix ? That's all I want.......
I don't have this darn cable now to try this.
Thanks guys.

Hmmm....would that limitation be noticeable by average listeners ? I don't even know what 5.1 audio is.
5.1 is surround audio with L/R front, Center (mostly for speech), and L/R rear channels. You'd need 3 extra speakers for the additional channels.
The .1 refers to a subwoofer but if your main speakers produce good low frequency as it is it may not be needed as low frequencies tend to deliver less spatial information than mid/highs. If you wanted one it'd be an extra speaker.
You would notice the difference by virtue of having sounds spread around you rather than simple L/R on movies that support it (Dolby Digital 5.1). As your amp doesn't support this currently, you're not ging to miss anything going the stereo audio route for now.
I've had a 5.1 system (without the .1) for donkey's years, and yes it's fun/novel, but leads to more clutter in the room with leads extra speakers etc. In fact I've relocated my rear speakers some time ago and am just sticking with stereo for now.
Certainly worth looking into, but 5.1 is old hat anyway and more modern surround formats will utilise even more speakers for surround effects but AppleTV currently does not support these.
I'm running a pair of old tower Polk Audio speakers of my amp that vibrate the windows pretty good.
No reason you couldn't use these in a 5.1 or 5.0 system as main L/R speakers but you'd need new center and rear L/R speakers, cabling and amp +/- subwoofer.
Onkyo would still be a good bet for a quality reasonably priced amp though you'd probably find a myriad of options, possibly cheaper than your original Onkyo.

I cannot get my email on my iphone4 ever since I had the recent iCloud upgrade. Very frustrating. How can I correct this?, I cannot get my email on my iphone4 ever since I had the recent iCloud upgrade. Very frustrating. How can I correct this?

I cannot receive or send any email on my iphone4 since I installed the "upgrade" recently! Very frustrating! How can I correct this. It also happened to my iPad but this corrected itself in a few days?

It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

I cannot get my iPhone 4 to sync ever since I upgraded to 5.0.1

What do I do when my iphone won't sync with itunes? It keeps getting to a point where it is ready to update the apps then just quits. What's up with that?

Are you saying that iTunes isnt recognizing your phone?

Can't get sound through headphones

I cannot get sound through earbuds

Couple of things to check here.
1. Toggle volume buttons on headset
2. Check sound settings
2. Try a different headset to rule out the phone
3. If a second headset does not work check the headphone jack for debris
4. If no debris, and the phone is still under warranty, contact Apple Support or go by an Apple Store for service

I cannot get sound from the web, you tube, etc, however, my speakers are on and my itunes play sound? What gives?

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if Youtube videos etc play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.
Regards,

After attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

after attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

I cannot get sound on my iPad mini. Any ideas?

i cannot get sound on my iPad mini. Des anyone know how this can be fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Satellite A505-S6973 - No sound of my laptop speakers

I own an A505-S6973 and today i lost volume on my speakers. When i jack in my headphones i get sound but without the headphones plugged in, I get no sound of my laptop speakers.
I checked device manager for software problems but everything is cleared, also, my volume is fully on.
I attempted a restore, but was unsuccessful, also i tried to uninstall and reinstall value added package but when attempting to launch the software after extracting it an error[0x8146045B] signals itself.
This morning everything seemed to work fine, the only thing i can think of, i removed windows media my network places sharing.
If this is the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re-install it. Also, the value added package issue, is there anything that can be done, because the buttong to enable/disable touchpad when depress nothing happens but if i use the function key with F9 it enables/disables.
I really hope someone can help me, it seems this is an unlucky weekend for me.

As I see, the VAP utility makes problems. The next step I advise you to do a little bit dangerous as you have to remove some elements in registry, but before
1. Make the ,,Hidden Folders,, to be seen. (Control Panel- Appearance and Personalization-Folder Options (click the , show hidden files,, and then choose ,, Show hidden files, folders,, and Apply)
2 Go to C:\Users\, here you should choose your profile name, in my case it ,, jeka,, \AppData\Local\temp\TC20020600B.temp\ Here you should see TVAP folder, remove it completely
3 Run the ,,regedit,, that found in Windows folder. Choose ,, Edit,, -,,Find,, and type in ,,toshiba value added,, In left Column you will see highlighted folder with value like 8FFFC660FB2109346A37579FE5FF81E8, delete it. restart computer.
Then, start Tvap exe, it should work now. But you should be careful working with registry, don't delete anything other

TS1631 I cannot get sound on downloaded apps?

I cannot get sound on downloaded apps. I do get sound from music download..

Hello Michelle,
I would be concerned too if the speaker on my iPhone was not working. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this.
I recommend reviewing the full article, but step 2 specifically stood out to me for the issue you are experiencing:
2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.

If you getting sound from the external speakers....are we talking the ones on the laptop?
Means you still have the onboard sound turned on at a guess.

ITouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones

iTouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones when earphones are plugged in..
M using the latest version of itunes and iOS 4.2.1
....Have already tried formatting, resetting and even formatting when my earphones were plugged in...
Please help immediately..M out of warranty..

Have you tried another pair of earphones? It may be that the headphone jack is failing. You can, if you are competent, replace it yourself or get it fixed by a third-part place. See the following:
