Internal speaker issues

I've had my toshiba laptop just past warranty now, so I can't mail it in to get the problem fixed, but I have a Satelite C655D-S5300 and the internal speakers will at random times, usually after being used for a few minutes, stop playing audio. At that point I have to go into the playback device menu and disable then reenable the audio driver for the speakers to work. It's only a problem on the built in speakers though, I play games with friends with a headset on all the time and the audio in the headset never cuts out on me.
I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling the audio driver and restarting the laptop multiple times. I just want to get this problem fixed soon, it's been occuring for a few days now. 

im having the same trouble with my toshiba L500D. its like my nbook isnt responding to the built in speakers so downloading drivers for it is a waste of time... my nbook never fell or anything. also it si not reading sd cards aod thum drives... but im more worried about the sound...i have been downloading  drivers and looking up solutions 3 weeks now.. i learned a lot but still cant fix my sound... 
the realtek drivers say code 10 (cannot start) and im fed up.
...and fustrated

  • Internal speaker issue

    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue with the Macbook pro internal speakers. I'm running Bootcamp on what I think is OS X Leopard and the speakers stutter and prolong the sound. I very rarely hear popping like other threads I've read. Both speakers are doing it and not all the time. Sometimes restarting helps even though there is no heavy load on the CPU. It doesn't stutter when I'm on the Mac partition and after playing it for a while sometimes it clears itself up.

    It might be more an issue with the Windows setup than with the Mac. It always takes me time to fine tune everything, even when using Parallels.

  • Internal/external speaker issues

    I have a MacPro that is just a few months old.
    Some video wants to play only through the Mac's internal speaker. As I type this I have the iPod special event from the 5th playing and it is coming through the internal speaker.
    Meanwhile if I try to adjust the volume with the keyboard or Finder interface the system sound that acknowledges the adjustment plays through the external speakers as well as other system sounds. iTunes will still play MP3s/etc and most videos through the external speakers. Usually just some lower quality video will play sound only through the internal speakers.
    I have run all the current Quicktime/MacOS updates. Any ideas?

    Tim,
    I came across this article yesterday:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
    Your comment about quality reminded me of it.
    I've had similar audio randomness, but seems to have subsided. No clue why. I've got serious kernel panic issues seperate from the audio thing, so I am following many rabbit trials in search of an answer.
    Hope this is not redundant for you and is of use.

  • Left internal speaker volume issue (very weak)

    Hello,
    The left internal speaker on my MBA is very very quiet (barely audible at maximum volume and with right channel disabled). The problem seems to have appeared recently as I was totally enjoying my MBA's sound before.
    I have already tried the following:
    - Both speakers are equally balanced in System Preferences/Sound and Audio MIDI Setup.
    - The 'Play stereo audio as mono' box is unticked in System Preferences/Universal Access.
    - Latest software updates installed, the laptop restarted after that, the trouble remained.
    - Already tried resetting the SMC or PRAM and NVRAM.
    - Already tried reinstalling a fresh OS
    Grateful for any useful comments, views and advice.
    MacBook Air mid-2013, Mac OS X (10.10.2)

        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.
        Make sure that CH1 and CH2 volume sliders are at the middle and matched.

  • IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

    My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

    iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
    It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
    iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
    You may want to ask in the right forum.

  • I have a G5 power PC dual 2ghz  10.5.8 and my recording interface stopped outputting. I used 2 different interfaces and changed cables, neither solved my problem. With everything plugged up i can hear playback through the internal speaker.

    I have tried System preferences, input and output. I have tried the midi controls in utilities. With everything hooked up correctly I cannot get the interface to playback through the box or record now. When i hit play I can hear the playback coming through the internal speaker on the tower. The interface previously worked fine, bought a second one and it is doing the same thing. Must be a system issue. Please help!

  • Thunderbolt port wont connect to SAMSUNG and audio port detection disables internal speak forever

    I've had this Yosemite (10.10.2) since it's launch and never have I encountered a problem with my hdmi-to-thunderbolt port adapter until now I actually decide to use it. I find out that I cannot display my Mac on any TV screen to play a movie, watch Netflix or, play a game in fullscreen.
    That not the only problem I've encountered.
    I've encountered the internal speak disappearing from the audio output settings when I plugin my headphone. When I remove the jack from the audio port the internal speaker doesn't alway come back when I want it to. There needs to be a manual way to switch back or a thing to switch of the auto-detection.

    Eric,
           Thanks for the advice but, my Macbook pro is all the way up to date with the latest stuff. I this is of a more software issue I ran into and found out the new OS (Operating System) has affect my Thunderbolt port. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix it?

  • The mac book pro cannot detect the internal speaker. What's the possible causes? and how to fix it?

    I've connect the mac book pro to my LED TV with the headphone port as my audio output. After I disconnect it, the internal speaker did not work and the mac could not detect it from the system preference. What is the problem? Is it because of the hardware or software problem? Please help.

    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • Internal speaker

    Not a very technical post but have had a recurring problem with the E series phones.  I had the E5, and noticed within 6 months that the internal speaker became 'crackly' , as though it had been damaged by moisture.  It was so bad that I could only use the external speaker.  I had not knowingly damaged this in any way, other than living in Ireland where the weather is constantly damp.  I have just upgraded to the E6, and have found that, within a matter of weeks, the speaker is beginning to intermittently become crackly, as well.  I would like to avoid the same issue, and wonder, if indeed this is an atmospheric moisture weakness for this phone, whether there is any type of speaker protection available, whether anyone has found the same issue, and how this can be resolved.  Otherwise, I love this phone.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Send it in for inspection. I may be a faulty part in yor E6. Take contact with the reseller and ask for immediate replacement if possible. Within 14 days yoi may do so and ask for a replacement.

  • Sound Output - Internal Speaker and Headphone Jack?

    I just installed my new iMac, which replaced my Mac Mini. I hook my Mac to my stereo via the headphone jack for playing iTunes. But most of the time I don't have the stereo on.
    is there a way to keep the headphone jack plugged in and still have audio come out the internal speaker? Basically send audio output to both the internal speaker and the headphone jack at the same time?
    On the Mac Mini this wasn't an issue because I had a splitter that ran from the mini to my monitor speakers and to my stereo.
    Thanks!

    Hi, you can get the internals to give notice of emails & actions..externals for any other sound..
    Sadly your wishes on this matter will not come to fruition...L

  • Sound on MacBookPro stopped on internal speaker and when using earphones

    Sound on MacBookPro stopped on internal speaker and when using earphones.  I re-booted and tried again.  No luck.

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do notappear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • IPod Classic 160gb (7th Gen) making odd noises through internal speaker

    I bought an iPod Classic off a friend, and within a day or so of syncing it to my iTunes it started to make this strange "chirp" noise through the internal speaker. It is the same noise the iPod makes if you boot into Diagnostic Mode. It was making this noise randomly when browsing songs or scrolling through the main menu.
    I had a warranty through the store it was purchased at so I exchanged it for a new one. After syncing it with iTunes again it made the same noise through the internal speaker. I turned the "Clicker" sound off in settings to see if that would eliminate the noise, and it did, until I synced the iPod a few minutes later and it made the noise once, again.
    I've seen other posts on the web with people having this issue, but no solutions. Anybody have any ideas? Or is it just something I have to live with, or keep exchaging iPods?

    It seems to be making this noise whenever it has to load information. If I scroll through the cover flow really quickly and get to a section of albums that haven't had their art loaded, it makes the noises as it loads the art.
    Seems like any time the iPod has to find and display information from the hard drive that it doesn't have cached it makes the noise. Is this normal or should I be seeking another replacement? I don't want a bad hard drive on my hands.

  • No sound is coming from the internal speaker of iPod touch

    The internal speaker on my iPod touch no longer works. I've already reset it, any other ideas? And yes, it did work before.

    was it water or physically damaged, if not
    then just check the volume button on the right hand side if volume is not low
    if still facing issues then u just need to go to an apple store and get it replaced if your device is still under warranty

  • Speaker issue after Mavericks Upgrade

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my Mac Pro (mid 2010 ver.)
    Now when I try to listen to Pandora, iTunes, or anything that pushes sound thru the O/S, the sound "jumps" between my Bose 5 companion computer speakers (USB) and the internal Mac Pro speakers.
    Additionally, when I go to Preferences-----Sound, you can literally see the O/S jumping back and forth to these two rows  "Built In   Internal Speakers" and "Bose USB Audio    USB". More specifically, you will hear the music thru the Bose speakers and then about every 20 seconds (sometimes it goes for over a minutes) it will "beeeeeeep" and then jump to the Mac Pro internal speakers.
    I tried deleting the two .plist files as previous mentioned in past threads with no luck. Before I upgraded to Mavericks I never had ANY sound/speaker issues what so ever.
    Any suggestions? Thank you

    Update Saturday Jan 4, 2014
    Before my Mavericks upgrade on my Mac Pro, no problems ever (use my Mac 4-8 hours a day) using my Bose Companion 5 USB connected speakers. I've tried shutting the Mac down and plugging the Bose USB cable into another open USB port = no joy and other combinations. I tested the same Bose Companion 5 USB speakers on two other laptops with NO issues (ouch...they were running Windows 7) I have deleted the two .plist files, did the CMD+OPT+P+R reset, etc... = no change. Looked into Midi Audio Setup and did not see anything in there to change even though I tried a couple of things and no avail (there was no Garageband setting/entry).
    I still get a solid "BEEEEEEEEP" sound every 20+ seconds, when the sounds tries to toggle, by itself, between the Bose USB Audio device and the Internal Speakers.

  • Brand new ipod-touch internal speaker suddenly stopped working all-together? Please help!

    Just got my brand new, white Ipod- Touch and was surfing on youtube, watched a video and mid video the sound just vanished. now no sounds come from the internal speaker whatsoever, but headphones still work. I have tried restarting it as well as reseting, can anyone help me?! Thanks a lot!

    That sounds like a mechanical problem.  You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue.  If it does not, call Apple.  800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.
