I Have a SOUND Problem after installing 10.4.6, anyone else?

I updated to Tiger 10.4.6 and Now I have a problem with the output sound. It is less than 2/3's of what it was in Panther, and it is raspy. As I have been looking for an answer to the problem, I discovered that this update also updates the firmware. If you recall, the Mac reboots twice the first time the Mac is started up on 10.4.6, and I have been told that this is where the firmware is updated. And I think this is what has messed with the sound on my G5. If you have had a similar problem, and know of a fix, please let me know. Thank you.

Thank you Barry, for your reply, and I did try the action you suggested. However, there was no change.
Since I posted here I have more info. I will have to retract the claim that iTunes and movies are effected. It seems, at least at this point they play and sound fine through a head set.
Per the Applecare Tech's suggestion, I did an erase and install back to 10.3.5 to see if the sound quallity would return, and it did. I moved up to 10.3.9 and the sound was still ok. Then I did another erase and install up to 10.4.3 and the problem returned. This tells me the firmware is not the issue in this case, and that some thing in Tiger is the cause, and not just at 10.4.6. I will not speculate as to what the cause might be, rather, I will leave it to the experts. I will be taking the computer into an Apple service center so they can check it out. I will post again when I know more.

Sound Problem After Installing iOS 8.1

Hello, after updating my iPad to iOS8.1 it started making weird noises, kind of the same ones you get while blocking it or getting a notification but with a little of a "robotic" twist. Restoring it seemed to had fix it until I tried to get the 8.1 again. I was just wondering if someone its having the same issue, and if so, whats the solution. Do you think that i'll be treated on the 8.2 version? I had the same problem with my iphone 4 once and couldnt get it sorted out.

I successfully got my iPhone 6 messages sound by following Timothy Holt directions.
Thanks Tim.

What you have to do, and this appears to be essential after you update the OS, is to reboot your phone.
1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.

Sound Problems After Installing Lion

I see many are having issues with sound after installing Lion. I have sound and then will lose sound after closing and reopening. I have to restart to restore sound. This is getting old quick. Does anyone know a fix or if one is coming? Thanks!

Not sure how much it helps, but here is my experience:
I have found that after a while, midi-style sounds stop playing. Most obvious to me is the crinkle tune when throwing away trash, or the click when placing something into the trash. When these sounds stop playing, I can still set the volume (and the up/down volume sounds will play) but the midi tracks don't start playing.
A while back I was hunting for a solution to this problem and rebooted and messed around, etc, etc. One person suggested changing the midi format since they knew there was a bug in the midi playback in Lion (a beta comment I think). So I used the Audio MIDI Setup application to change the Built-In Output format to 2ch-32bit float. For a while the sounds were back.
Just now, I noticed that they had disappeared again, so I went back to Audio MIDI Setup and changed it back to 2ch-24bit Integer. All of a sudden, a stream of old sounds started playing - presumably everything that had not been correctly played for a while.
Not sure if it will work again, but next time the sound vanishes, I will try to change the format again and report back what happens. My guess is that just changing the format will cause the queue to reset and play any old sounds. Then the sounds will work for a while until the bug is triggered again. Perhaps the workaround for now is to just keep flipping the Ouput MIDI format?

MacBook Air 2010 died after installing Mavericks, happened to anyone else?

Having installed Mavericks onto my early edition MacBook Air it has totally died.
- It will no longer charge, in fact the light doesn't come on at all on the Magsafe (tried two different chargers both still charge my MacBook Pro)
This happened after I turned it off for the first time having installed the new OS.
Anyone else had their Air turned into a brick by Mavericks?
I've got a genius bar appointment on Saturday but thought it was worth seeing if anyone else had suffered the same issue. Keen to know if my battery had just reched the end of it's life (although it was still lasting a good number of hours under Moutain Lion) or if Mavericks has caused the issue.
Thanks!

The panic was caused by the Yamaha audio device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed. I suggest you disconnect the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the developer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post your results.

Sound Problems after installing Win7

Hi all,
Updated to windows 7 two days ago, had to work out a few bugs, nothing major, but anyways some minor annoyance persists. I don't get the popup windows when I adjust volume/treble/bass and the mute button doesn't turn orange like it used to when I muted the laptop and I dont get the clicking noises indicating the level changes. Also I noticed that the speakers sound a bit different...kind of a horrid sound. I tried adjusting the equilizer but that didn't help. Minor inconveniences, I know, but I'd like to get my laptop working properly again. Anybody have any idea what course of action I should take?

Sound problems and excessive data usage. Anyone else had this problem?

Just upgraded from 3GS to 4S literally had the phone for 3 weeks, firstly within first week got told I'd used 90% of my 500mb data allowance when I hadn't even used the phone for much data only maps and general quick web page no YouTube vids or emails. I found this odd as O2 told me I don't even use 500mb per month wiv my 3GS and with that I was streaming YouTube lots and emailing! And now today all my sound has gone! No ringing no alert sounds and when I call I can't hear anything and neither can the person at the other end. I have tried resetting and everything anybody else had these problems??

The iPhone is DESIGNED to switch to cellular data when asleep, unless it's connected to a power source, in which case it will stay logged onto the WiFi network. iPhones have ALWAYS behaved this way.
Either turn cellular data off at night, or leave your phone connected to a power source to continue the WiFI.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? First step in Bootcamp Assistant is to download the support software. Then did you install the support software from within Windows?
Read the Bootcamp Install instructions. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf

I see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
How do I fix this problem?
Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

No sound anymore after installing XP Home on Satellite Pro 4600

Hi gents,
I don't have any sound more after I have installed winxp home on my Pro 4600. I used the problem solve wizard but without any improvements. I have also installed the latest sound driver and bios.
Looking forward to some replies, .............Harry

He Eldorado,
You teached me a wise lesson "first look to the obvious things". And yes it was the volume controller at the side (did not know there was one). But anyway problem is solved
Thanks...........Harry

Problem after installing 10.4.8

Hello,
I installed the 10.4.8 update today. I have a brand new macbook. When the update finished downloading, my screen just turned blank, my computer didn't react at all. I could hear the fan and that was it.
So, I waited for some minutes, nothing happened. I decided to restart it by pressing the power button for a few seconds.
The computer is working perfectly now and the update was installed. But, how do I know if my computer or the HD were affected? I ran the HD test and it says that the HD seems OK.
Is that a problem with my computer or is it because of the new update? I read a posting that mentioned similar problems after installing the new update.
Thanks...

How did you update? Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update (delta)?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304200
After installing the delta version of this update on an Intel-based Mac, the computer will restart two times--the first restart after installing this update may take several minutes; please allow it to complete.
