IMac built in speakers stop while monitoring recording

I'm recording from a tape player using a PowerWave for input and my iMac G5's built in speakers for the monitor. After a little while, the speakers pop and won't play anything any more. Sometimes I can get them to reactivate by starting iTunes. It's quite strange. Any ideas? Once I finally finish recording and quit Garageband, the speakers play again.

IMac built-in speakers

my iMac buitl-speaker do not have any sound suddenly someones knows
what may be happening?

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output
    Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the appropriate method.
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

How do I get my built-in speakers to work again

I recently had my built-in speakers stop working less than a year after purchasing my MacBook Pro 15". About 24hrs ago, my built-in speakers were working fine. At some point, I was using my bose headphones, and after I unplugged them, my speakers did not work. I've confirmed that the sound is not muted. I have sound visible on the desktop bar, but it is grayed out. I looked on my system preferences for audio output, and my speakers are not listed as an option. Only optical digital-out is an option besides my Apple TV.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing. If so, the internal switch is stuck.. Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch. If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.
Ciao.

How do I turn audio monitoring ON so I can hear while I record?

I'm a musician trying to record live video of a song in imovie '09.
How do I turn the audio monitoring ON so that I can hear what I'm playing while I play it?
In other words: I can only hear what I recorded on the mic when I play the video back. *I want to know how to hear (through the speakers) what I am recording while I am recording it.
I sincerely appreciate any help

If you do that you will get feedback.

App-V 5: An error was encountered while trying to stop the monitoring session

Hello,
I have a problem with sequencing an application with the App-V 5 sequencer. During the moment that the sequencer is collecting system changes an dialog box appears with the message "An error was encountered while trying to stop the monitoring session.
Please check the event log for more details.". When I sequence the same application with App-V 4.6 SP2 sequencer I have no problems.
In the eventviewer (Microsoft-AppV-Sequencer/Admin) you can see the message "An attempt to stop the monitoring session failed (startIndex cannot be large than lenght of string. Parameter name: startIndex). Event Id: 5003
I have checked the background activities, but I couldn't find anything suspicious.

Is the only difference between the platform the sequencer is hosted on the version of the sequencer? have you tested on a vanilla deployment of Windows?

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails. What is wrong with it?

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.

In built speakers stop working

hi all,
i am connecting headphones to my tablet,it works fine
but when i disconnect it then the in built speakers dont work
i did all the control panel tests and all are fine
before connecting headphones they work fine
but after connecting external headphones and removing it,the internal speakers stop working
can anybody help please?

if you do a restart (not a shut down, a restart) on windows, does it still not work?
Unfortunatly I was unable to find any thing that would relate to a windows software controled switch (It does not have any kind of popups signaling the audio source change) so it may be just as simple as a broken head phone jack. Unfortunatly the only thing you can do is return it.

Can I connect a monitor with built in speakers to my macbook air?

Can I connect a monitor with built-in speakers to my macbook air? What would you suggest in the 22" - 24" size for everyday use?

If you say that there is built in speakers. Most probably the connection is HDMi. You will need an adapter to connect the MacBook Air to the monitor through HDMI, at the same time, the adapter needs to support video and AUDIO.

External Speakers stopped working on Imac

External speakers stopped working. Verified speakers operating with Iphone. Checked that speakers plugged in correctly. Tried usual power cycling step. External speakers do not show up in sound preferences. Anyone with any advice?
Thanks,

If you unplug the speakers to the internal speakers work OK? If not try resetting the system PRAM see Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If they still don't work or if the internal works OK then look into the speaker plug. Do you see a red light? There is a switch inside the plug that detects the presents of a jack and sometimes it gets stuck or breaks entirely.
You could try gently using a non-conductive device (a toothpick is good) probing inside the plug to see if you can free the switch. Of course this could be harmful if done incorrectly. If the system is still under warranty you might want to take it to have it looked at.

Built-in iSight stops working on iMac--try re-setting SMU

I spent about two hours trying to figure out why my built-in iSight stopped working--all of a sudden it would show only a green screen in Photo Booth, black in iChat and not at all in iVideoHD, and not really register as available. It did show up in the Apple profiler of USB devices, and also, it would work in a non-apple program, iVisit. I did not install an HP printer, as another thread user commented on. I read about resetting the SMU in an Apple discussion and also in this forum, so I shut down the computer, pulled the power and everything else plugged into the computer and waited a minute, then plugged the computer back in and turned it on, then finally plugged back in my devices including keyboard and mouse (that was Apple's instructions). Vioala! iSight works again.

Hi,
For Others
As a Note on this some G5s are prone to not having the System Preferences > Displays set to Millions.
There is no direct evidence that it effects other computers but do check if your is still set to Millions and is not being commanded by a games app or something else to display less Colours.

Satellite L300-2CL - built in mic stopped working

Hello
When I bought this computer (sep-09) everything was working fine. Then in march (I hade it idle for awhile), my built in mic stopped working.
Everything eles is working fina, and I have scanned the web for solutions, and tried to install new drivers, unistall them, boots everything possible, disabel and rebooting, but at most I just get a static sound from my test recordings.
I am using win 7 home pre, but the issues started when I was using Vista. Now I am out of ideas, and my friends on Skype grows tired of not hearing me.
Is there anything I can do to get the mic work, or should I just buy a headset?
Greatful for help
Hugo

Hi
Sounds a little bit like an mic hardware issue but you should also check the internal mic settings in control panel -> sound.
There you will see the Recording tab.
Here you should mark the internal mic and should check the properties.
Set all volume controllers to max.
Choose internal mic as standard device.
In Playback tab choose speakers -> properties.
There you will see the level tab. Here you should set the microphone to 100 and should check if its not disabled too.

Laptop (EliteBook 6930p) speakers stop playing when docked (HSTNN-IX01 PA286A)

This is very frustrating problem.
My laptop's (EliteBook 6930p) internal speakers play audio just fine but as soon as I place the laptop on the docking station (HSTNN-IX01 PA286A), speakers stop playing.
Audio output device stays the same as 'speakers' whether docked or not.
While docked, I can get audio out through line out on the laptop as well as the line out on the docking station.
But the built-in speakers just will not play while docked.
Sound is not mutted, volume level is not hear 0%, it just stops playing when docked.
I've tried, reinstalling audio drivers as administrator under freshly installed Vista and Windows 7.
Same behavior is observed under the two different OS's I've tried.
Is it just not possible to get audio out of the built-in speakers when docked to this docking station?
Is there anyone who can confirm built-in speakers working whiled docked to this particular docking station?

Hello vlsi2000,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps!
Thank you

Is it possible to use the built-in speakers when headphone connected?

I have a mini amp and speakers connected via the headphone jack on my late 2009 21.5" iMac.
First, is this the proper way to make this connection?
If I want to switch to use the built-in speakers, I can do so by unplugging the external amp. However, it seems that there should be a way to do this via software. But, I can't find it. Is it possible? If so, how?
I don't always want to make use of the external amp, I want to use it for music and videos, but not otherwise. And, I don't want to have to unplug it when it's not in use.
Thanks.

System prefs> sound> output.
select your internal speakers in there.
No need to unplug your mini amp.
This actually works on your Mac? I doubt it. This does not work on either the Early '06 iMac, nor the Early '09 Mac mini in my house. When anything analog is plugged into the audio-out port, the name of the device in Sys Prefs/Sound/Output simply changes from Internal Speakers to Headphones, there is no option for one or the other.
This has been asked over and over here, and I know of no way to do what the OP has asked.

External speakers stopped working when Yosemiti was down loaded

My external speakers stopped working when I downloaded Yosemiti! how can I remedy this?

Dunno what it has to do with Yosemite, but: press the alt/option key, while clicking on the speaker icon at the right hand top of your screen. This will show you all the sound inputs and outputs for your mac. Ensure that it is set to "Line Out" or "Digital out" (depending on your speaker's capabilities. Hopefully
that works
