Internal speaker just stopped working

Hello,
after ot stoped working, I went to System Prefs, Sound. internal speaker is no longer an output option. oh boy.

See if this helps,
Open Activity Monitor (in Utilities)
Select "All Processes" from the drop-down list at the top
Click on the process called "coreaudiod"
Click on "Quit Process"
Click "Force Quit"
It will go away and come back again, and the sound should start working. No need to reboot.

iphone stuck in headphone mode

TS1630 I was in the middle of a call on speakerphone when the speaker just stopped working. Could the spear on my 1 month old iPhone 5 have blown?

I got my IPhone 5 in April. Today, while on a speakerphone call, the speaker just stopped working. The support on Apple said if their troubleshooting didn't work (which it did not), to reset the phone. I am really not interested in doing that. So.....any other ideas besides what was already explained in the troubleshooting section?

the first thing to try is a reset
Hold both the home and the on/off button till you see the apple logo. Release the buttons and let it reset

T510 - internal speakers just stopped working

I have a T510 using the Contexant 20585 SmartAudio HD driver for the internal speakers. Today they just stopped working. I run the tests and I get no sound left or right. Now I did notice something odd. I open Control Panel and then I click SmartAudio. I then click the third icon from the left at the bottom of the screen (Audio Director). Now on the right hand panel of the screen I see a large, red 'X' beside the laptop. That would be between the laptop and the headphones.... anybody know what that is? (Would it appear to signify that something is amiss with the speaker?)
Anyway, I've uninstalled, installed the latest drivers (May 2010). Still nothing... any ideas?

I can merely offer a suggestion, reset the iPad.

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.

My iPhone 5 speaker just stopped working.

I can listen to music through headphones, can hear phone call but once I put it on speaker it wont work. It does not have water damamge and it was working just fine when I was watching a video the speaker crackled and now I cant hear any notifications, alarms, ringer, just basically nothing.

And how does your issue help OP..O wait it doesn't help either. His issue is that he cannot hear through his speaker. His sound works perfectly, but once he listens to music without heaphones, or puts the phone on speaker, there is no sound.

Tactic 3d sigma left speaker just stopped working within a 24 hour period

so as title says yesterday morning i woke up and the left speaker was a little dodgy it was turning on and off anf you had tap the left speaker cup to get it to start putting out sound and make sure you didnt lay back in chair or anything to disturb it then this morning its completely dead nothing will get sound.
this is the second of this type of headset in the last 4 months and the first one died from same problem after no more than 3 months and this ones been less than 2 months till pretty much useless any ideas might help even if its just saying worst luck in defecti've product ever
edit just checked bank statements i've have this new headset since june 28 so in two and a half weeks the left speaker stopped
edited once more i checked further back the first headset laster from may 27 to just before june 28 i've never had aproblem with creative products before but i dont think ill be buying another one of these models they apperently defecti've in some way

Hello..if it's any consolation which i'm sure it's not...My earcup was faulty out of the box..i.e turned round and round.
If you check the G35 and platro¤¤ 777 you will find similar QA problems.
Don't know if the problem are related to different batches but it seems that there is a lot to be desired in some companies manufacture and QA departments.
Just hope these companies realise what damage is being done to thier reputation and maybe remember the old saying
"if it cheap (presumably manufacturing costs) then there is something fishy about it." ( assuming they're getting third-party companies to manufacture a lot of these)
this is 00 % pure conjecture on my part and the percentages of faults may be very small in real terms compared to the number of units sold?
But if users are to be believed and such stories similar to -,these are 2 or (8) months old and I picked them up today and the left earcup fell off...don't fill one with confidence. From what I can gather most internet shops/manufacturers have been ok at replacing headsets..it's just the inconvience of having to send them in(may or may not be reimbursed for shipping costs) and be without a headset for a while especillay when they are DOA..GREAT BOUGHT NEW PRODUCT ..DOA BUT as a customer I have to wait two weeks to get a replacement....NOT GOOD BUSINESS
in my case the company I bought them from (SIGMA's) did have a replacement in stock though they stated that they had some on order but didn't have a confirmed deli'very date from creative...so i got my money back but missed an offer on another headset . Now I don't have any headset :-(
The long and short of it seems that QA seems to be a problem at the moment in MY view...you might buy from another manufacturer and get a faulty headset?
I am thinking of just getting some Audio (music) phones and maybe a soundcard..
Best of luck getting an exchanged working pair or your money back.

I was using my iPad this morning and my internal speakers just stopped working when I tried to turn my nighttime playlist on. Does anyone know what I should do?

I was listening to music this morning and the speakers on my iPad were working perfectly fine. Then I opened my iSleep App and used it to turn on my nighttime playlist and my alarm clock and my speakers weren't working. I tried restarting it (twice) and it didn't work.
I plugged my headphones in and sound still comes out. And I don't listen my music all the way or for very long, so I'm pretty sure the speakers didn't blow out.
Does anybody what the problem is?

I can merely offer a suggestion, reset the iPad.

IPad (1st gen.) headphone jack just stopped working, Internal speaker works fine

iPad (1st gen.) headphone jack just stopped working, Internal speaker works fine

If the headphones work in another device, then the headphones are OK.
If different headphones work in the iPad, then the iPad is OK. If not, check the headphone socket for fluff ot other debris. If you see nothing, try repeated plugging and unplugging several times.
Resetting the ipad may do the trick as well.

My right speaker suddenly stopped working

My right speaker suddenly stopped working. Does anybody know what could have happened or how I can fix it? Thanks!

Just to make certain that it's not an OS setting, check in your System Preferences>Sound and make sure that your balance is set in the middle:
If it is, and you're still having problems, you could also try resetting the SMC and the PRAM/NVRAM. If that doesn't help, it's likely a hardware problem that will have to be addressed by a trip to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

VPN working fine.... then just stopped working!

Have posted this before, but was hoping that someone out there has experienced the same issue.
I setup the VPN on 10.6 McMini server and it worked really well for several weeks. Then all of a sudden (without any changes being made to the server) it just stopped working!
I cant get a VPN connection either on the internal network (so no routers involved here) or from external clients. Both of these worked before. Im convinced its def something to do with the server.
The error I get is PPP Server could not be authenticated.
Have tried restarting server, stopping and starting VPN service, turning L2TP and PPP of and on again, changed the shared key.. Checked the DNS with changeip and that is all good....
Hopefully soemone out there will be able to shed some light on this for me...
Here is the log from the VPN :

Help? My BT Wireless just stopped working (BT Mouse is OK)

Normally the wireless keyboard that came with the iMac (intel) is reliable, its about 4 yrs old now
but today - it just stopped working?
Although it shows (menu) as being connected (BT) and Batteries are at 100%, I can no longer get
keyboard output... and this applies to any running application.
Its not been dropped or mistreated - its just stopped working. I have restarted the iMac but to no avail.
I am using the older USB Keyboard as a stop gap.
My queries are;
     1. Has this keyboard just simply worn out or developed an internal fault ??
     2. Has anyone else experienced this or had similar problems ??
     3. Is there some way I can check the integrity of the BT or the Keyboards communications with the iMac ?
All help to solving this problem - will be most appreciated
Running Mac OSX 10.9.4 on Intel iMac (2CD) 8GB RAM

Hi Barry.
Thanks for your response.....
As mentioned I did restart the iMac which I believe also resets the PR (chime) during that process.
However I will try specifically zapping the PR - several times like the old days and Mac OS 9.
and come back to you

Airport just stopped working

Hi Everyone,
I hopw someone has some info that might help.
I have a MacBook and PC (yuck). Both just stopped working with my Airport Extreme, and when I tried plugging the ethernet cable directly into both, nothing happened. No data was transferring.
I called my cable company and they were able to get my PC working, directly connected, but not the MacBook.
When the ethernet cable is plugged directly into the MacBook, nothing happens...no lights showing it's connected to the computer. When I connect the ethernet cable to the Airport, everything lights up, showing a connection, but I can't get the data to transfer from Airport to MacBook (or PC for that matter).
Right now, I'm hijacking someone else's wireless signal in my condo...don't really know who. So, I know my Airport card is working properly.
The tech at Brighthouse cable saod something about earthlink customers having trouble recently because of something that earthlink downloaded to them, where IP addresses wouldn't renew. I never downloaded anything, is this possible?
I'm really stumped, and frustrated because I can't connect, and it's not feasible for me to hardwire in due to the location of my cable modem. Plus, that only works with the crappy PC, and I don't want to use that.
Please, someone help...I'm desperate...and at a loss for what the problem could be!
Thank you!!!!
EDIT: I just powered up my old iBook G4, and it won't connect to my base station either
EDIT X2: I should probably add what I have already tried...I have (several times) unplugged the cable modem and Airport base station. Used Airport set up to re-set it (again, several times).

Ok MCOJerry,
Here's the scoop.
My friend called and gave me the story much like you described. Almost identical in fact.
He had called TimeWarner, who didn't come to any resolution and then referred him to Earthlink, washing their hands in the process.
A over seas tech support then spend a couple of hours, then made a call back with another tech. who also spent significant time on the phone. This time the tech reconfigured OSX a couple of times. Set up alternate location profiles, changed the DNS settings etc.
They re-assigned the IP address and forced the cable modem to init. the MAC address list. They also disconnected the Airport Extreme (the square version) connected the mac directly to the modem and forced a manual set of IP settings.
They got the mac to work with this last configuration, but of course the rest of the machines were out of luck as was the network printer.
All in all he spent six hours on the phone.
When I got 'the call' I had him give me some preliminary network stats and then had him reconnect the Airport Extreme. This yielded a dead internet connection.
So as I wrote earlier, I went over there armed with a boat load of tools & cables.
I reconfigured the mac to a normal & stable automatic type configuration. I also reset the the Airport buy pressing the reset button for 5sec. Then set up a new configuration. I made sure that the latest update was applied to the Airport extreme.
Then I logged on to the cable modem. Don't mis-understand, I did not log on to the internet through the modem. I logged on to the modem's internal web server. checked some logs and ran a couple of tests.
Then I found the problem. The real problem: The signal power level from the point of demarcation (at the pole) was so low as to be useless. Eliminating the Airport Extreme, simply removed a level of complication in the system. It also may have removed some spurious RF that may have been introduced into the network. It did not result in a resolution to the real problem.
The cable line needs to be physically repaired. Either a wet connection or a frayed shield or the line needs a booster. But the problem, which looked like a Airport extreme issue is in fact a bad cable line.
I do have him up and running on the Airport Extreme at this moment by eliminating all extraneous length from his cable line within the house. The cable modem is now located in the basement where the cable enters the house. I have an single ethernet cable running from there to the Airport Extreme. I pulled all the other electrical items from this particular power line branch (This specific circuit.) This is all temporary until the cable guy/gal arrives to fix the problem.
I hope this may help you in your trouble resolution.

Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

Hey Kirby17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

My speaker has stopped working and it appears this is happening everywhere, what is Apple doing about this?

I have an iPhone5. The speaker has stopped working. I have reset my settings, rebooted several times. I am running 6.1.2.
The support center told me to jailbreak my phone and delete com.apple.iapd.plist. The internet has a deamon that they are saying to delete.
There are thousands of complaints all over the place.
APPLE -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS? CAN YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW WHERE YOU STAND ON THIS HARDWARE/SOFTWARE ISSUE!!!
Tomorrow, I am going to an apple store to replace my phone (I hope). I use my phone for business and cannot rely on Vibrate to know my phone is ringing.
Does anyone know what is really going on? It is ridiculous that there are videos telling people to put Q-tips into the phone. If this is what we are resorting to then the iPhone makers should be embarrassed.
I hope this post does not get blocked. I would really like to know what Apple plans to do about this or if anyone really knows how to fix this OTHER THAN replacing the phone.
Thanks for listening!

APPLE -- WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THIS? CAN YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW WHERE YOU STAND ON THIS HARDWARE/SOFTWARE ISSUE!!!
STOP SHOUTING! We are users like yourself. If you want to know what Apple is doing, contact them and ask them.

Tomorrow, I am going to an apple store to replace my phone (I hope). I use my phone for business and cannot rely on Vibrate to know my phone is ringing.

Just out of curiousity, what have YOU done to try and resolve the issue? Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Have you tried any of these steps?
