Input and output audio not working and no startup chime

The audio, both input and output, on my MacBook Pro has stopped working as well as the startup chime. Otherwise the computer starts up and seems to be working normally. Any ideas as to what the problem is and solutions?  

Hey, my MacBook Pro has been doing the EXACT same thing off and on for a few weeks now.
I'm just now having time to browse the forums, so I've not even asked about it.
Yesterday it all started working normally - all sounds.
I'll follow this discussion for sure.
There definitely seems to be enough 'Mac-Daddy' Mac Helpers on here to be able to easily resolve this issue.
i.e.: Andreas!  Just reading her stuff lets me know she REALLY knows what she's talking about & is able to explain the highly advanced info in terms people actually get!
Thanks for asking that question!

  • Macbook OS X Yosemite - Logitech headset output audio not working with Rosetta Stone

    So I got my macbook air 2014 with Yosemite software and I installed Rosetta Stone and I couldn't get the Logitech Headset (H540) to get the output audio through it.  The software will accept the microphone audio, but it will send the output audio throughout the internal speakers of my macbook air, or even worse, it will freeze the program until I disconnected the headset (as soon as I unplugged it from the usb, the software will continue like a nothing was going on).
    So I look in dozens of webpages trying to find a solution, but I there was none.  I read that for some people creating a "multi-output device" in audio midi resolved the issue, but for most people including myself, it didn't work.
    So after trying different options in the Audio MIDI setups, I found the solution!! :   If you change the "format" from the default 16000.00 Hz to one higher, it will work like a charm! Now everything is working perfectly for me, including the main reason of this research: Rosetta Stone program.
    I hope this post helps and saves a lot of time to any of you having this same problem. 
    If any other questions (or thanks ) reply to this post.

    This is great!  I've got one follow-on problem to this, though:  My format rate seems to keep snapping back to 16000, and breaking until I go back and fix it again (32000 works fine for me).  Any idea how to twiddle things so that 32000 is the default for my device?

  • IPad audio  output is not working properly, except on Siri. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

    iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help. The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't.  Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
    my iPad is a 3rd gen, 16GB wifi only model, if that helps
    I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!

    iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.

    The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?

    And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

  • Audio not working on channel 5 and 7,, okay on all others????

    Without knowing all of the specifics in your situation, you may want to try these options:
    - If you have a DTA, and your remote control has a LANG button on it, press it. 
    -  If you have an HD or SD full cable box:
    Most low or no audio issues can be corrected by setting the Optimal Stereo output of the cable box. Here are the steps: Press the Menu button twice on your remote control. Select Setup. Select Audio Setup Under the Optimal Stereo setting, choose "Select to Optimize" and press OK/Select on the remote control
    - The audio settings on your cable box may have accidentally been changed:
    Press the Menu button twice on the Comcast Universal Remote Control. A new screen below will appear, with the top-left option automatically selected.
    Use the down-arrow key (above the Info button) to navigate to Setup and press OK/Select (the center key on the remote control in the middle of the 4 arrow/directional buttons).
    Use the down-arrow key (above the Info button) to navigate to Audio setup and press OK/Select.
    The Default Audio Track will default to the first option–Channel default–which which is always the channel’s main audio track (unless it was previously changed).
    Press the right-arrow navigation key to change the audio track. Changing this selection will instantly change the audio.
    1. Press once for English
    2. Press twice for Spanish (Español) OR to activate Video Description (DVS)
    3. Press three times for French (Français) 4. Press four times for Portuguese (Portugues).
    5. Then press the Exit button (above the Volume button) to resume program viewing
    Please note: These audio options can only be heard if the program provider or cable channel is providing that additional audio option.
    - If the above does not help, look at the remote control for your TV set (not your cable box) as the TVs language settings may have been accidentally changed (sometimes labeled as MTS or SAP on the remote or via your TVs settings menu).

  • HT201210 AUDIO NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLED IOS7

    After installed ios 7
    photos not able to see fully
    audio not working properly.... [no treble, no depth in sound, very low soung even the volume is full]
    get strucks while playing games

    This board is full of people that are update crazy...
    even when they have perfectly good working systems.
    i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
    Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
    firewire devices.
    will take note of that from now on.
    Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
    running the update again with all firewire devices
    unplugged.
    While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
    reset
    again.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    -Press the Setup knob
    -Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    -Press the Select knob
    -Press the Value knob
    -Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
    back
    in
    -Power the interface back on
    i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
    After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
    see if that doesn't get you going.
    pancenter-
    cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.

  • RH 5.5 output does not work properly in RH 7

    I inherited a WebHelp project created in RH 5.5. I have RH 7.
    When I open the files, make modifications, and recompile them, the
    output does not work properly once I put it on our hardware box.
    Those infamous red squares are present and there seems to be a lot
    of .js files being called, but even when I do a straight 1:1 copy
    and include all the files, and delete the red squares, it still
    doesn't work right.
    Also, oddly, when I open the original (5.5) files in my v7 --
    even without making ANY changes at all -- the TOC has
    disappeared.

    When you view the upgraded source files in RH7, are the red
    squares seen the editor?
    When you generate to a local folder and view the output
    there, are the red squares present? Are there any other issues with
    the generated output?
    Have you applied all three patches to RH7? Help About should
    show 7.0.3.

  • Laptop left Speaker audio not working

    Sir,
    I have dv-5 1102 tu model laptop, in that left speaker audio not working. But, in headphones & Speakers have no problem in both left & right audio.
    Kindly do the needful

    Hey @KKVK ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your left speaker is not working on your dv5 notebook.
    If the headphones are working it would tell us the sound card is fine. The same properties are applied to the speakers and the headphones in your audio control settings.
    You could try a system restore to before the issue started to make sure it's not something in the operating system. To perform a system restore see the following guide: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) or Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    If this fails I would suggest contacting HP Phone Support to send the notebook for service. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.
    Thanks!

  • No boot and no startup chime

    Hi,
    I have a late 2009 Mac mini and yesterday I decided to install Ubuntu on a bootcamp partition which I created in Mac OS X. However, the Ubuntu installation failed for some reason and when I went to restart my Mac mini made one solid beep for about 2 seconds. This beep only sounds on occational boots but the Mac mini never shows any picture on my monitor and the startup chime never sounds either. I can hear the hard disk spinning up without making any abnormal sounds and the super drive works because it ejected my Ubuntu disk when I first rebooted to find this problem. The power LED does come on.
    I have had look around on the internet and the apple site says that 1 beep means that there is no RAM installed. But, there is and I know that it works because I have tested it in my 2010 Mac mini. The Mac mini does not post far enough to enable the keyboard and so I have been unable to try and reset the PRAM and the SMC. Although, I have managed to reset the EFI (I think) by pressing and holding the power button until the LED flashes and the Mac mini restarts.
    I would really appreciate any help as I need this machine.
    Many thanks,
    Connor
