Internal speaker stopped working?

I was in the middle of editing some audio, when all of a sudden, all I can hear is clicking coming out. when connected to headphones, this doesn't happen. could it be a bug in 10.6.4, or is this a hardware issue?

Open Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and select Output/Internal Speakers
Make sure the Format is set to 48Hz 2ch-24bit or 44Hz 2ch-16bit and adjust the volume sliders, then close the panel and play a sound/music and see if that fixes it ?

  • The internal speaker stopped working in my 4th gen ipod touch, what could be wrong with it?

    the internal speaker in my 4th gen touch stop working, i can plug the headphones in and it still plays sound through them, when i unplug the headphones it wont play sounds outloud how would i fix it?

    Try the sandard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup[
    - Restore to factoy defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem you very likelu have a hardware problem.  Likely a problem with the headphone jack. An appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store would be a good idea.

  • 5th gen. 16gb Nano's internal speaker stopped working

    I was at the gym and during a song, my ipod shut off on its own and reset itself. When it came back on, the volume wouldnt change from what I had it set at, and the sound quality diminished somewhat. Also when i unplug the headphones, the internal speaker will not work at all. I have restored the software on it twice. Please help!

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. 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 method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    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.
    Best.

  • Internal microphone stopped working today - Pavilion G7 - C2M31UA#ABA / Windows 8

    Hey there
    I am using Skype quite often, but today my internal microphone stopped working. I restarted Skype, my laptop and I also followed all steps of you trouble shooting page. No change ...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Bettina
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Enter your device manager.
    Can be found by pressing windowskey + x.
    Press Sound, video and game controllers.
    And right click and remove the one called Realtek high definition (should be something like that). 
    Reboot the computer, this should make it reinstalll the driver på itself.
    If this doesn't work, search for the program called recovery manager. In here you pick the one furthest to the left, called something with reinstall driver. Here you find the one called IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver check it, and press install.
    Since it used to work, and you dont have windows 8.1. If this still doesn't fix it, it must be some setting regarding your microphone. So try right clicking your speaker icon down in the right corner, when in desktop mode and pick recording units (translating directly from danish). Please let me know what you see in here.
    Best regards

    Troubleshooting Steps:

  • External Speaker stopped working - get sound through headset

    I have a Zire 72.  The external speaker stopped working.  If I listen to music or voice memos through a headset, I can hear the message so the programs are working.  I have tried a soft reset but no results.  Has anyone had this expierience?  Sounds and alerts all set to high in preferences.
    Thanks.

    The speaker cutoff switch may be stuck in the headset jack. 
    Try this procedure.
    Turn the Z72 off. Get a non-conductive electrical contact cleaner (Home Depot has this in the electrical dept.)
    Spray a few drops on the headset plug.
    Insert and remove the plug in the headphone jack 5-10 times.
    Wait several minutes for the cleaner to dry.
    Power on the Z72 and see if the speaker works. If not, try the procedure again.

  • Main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    I spoke to the reseller today and they aggred to exchanged it. They didn't elaborate on the actual cause but thought that it had to be a hardware issue.
    It could either be the issue that Euvix suggested or it could be as simple as the outer speaker is simply not working.
    Anesi, did you use the phone before the upgrade? Looking at what you've written I take you didn't so I would go back and get it exchanged.

  • Left external speaker stopped working

    Left external speaker stopped working, right works fine. When I connect headphones, they work fine. Have tried two different sets of speakers, deleted plists and reset pram. Please help!

    Hmm. I think its not a sound card and its not a speaker problem because both parts (left speaker and sound card) seems to be ok as you have posted in your message.
    Im not quite sure what could be wrong but possibly this issue has something to do with the headphone jack there is a tiny switch inside the headphone jack which enables and disables the speakers if the headphone jack has been plugged.
    Maybe this switch does not work properly.
    What to say in such case the hardware needs to be replaced but in most cases the headphone jack is a part of the motherboard and in such case the whole mobo needs to be replaced and I think this is not worth because of the high parts costs

  • IPhone speaker stopped working today.  Not 1 year old yet.

    IS this iPhone worth the headache of trying to get the speaker working?
    OR should I just buy a new samsung?
    IM not impressed with iPhone this one isn't a year old and speaker stopped working.  It is a disposable hyped up junk!!!

    Hard to find your question amongst the tantrum.
    What have you tried to fix it?
    Is the volume up?
    Is the mute switch on?
    Have you restarted it?
    Reset it?
    Restored it?
    Anything other than complain?

  • IPhone 5 speaker stopped working--no known reason

    My iPhone 5 speaker stopped working. Can't hear anything--music, video, person on phone, Siri. But phone functions and can use phone via Bluetooth in my car.

    When adjusting volume, does it show headphones or speaker?
    Clean the lightning and headphone ports to remove any lint/debris.

  • SL410 - One speaker stopped working - lcd hinge problem ?

    SL410 here - I noticed the right speaker stopped working. It works intermittently if I press down on the left side of the lcd screen or the hinge. I believe the wires are being routed from that hinge (?). Audio out of the headphone jack works just fine.
    Any ideas what might be going on ? Is this a known issue with a known fix ? Would it require major surgery to fix this ?
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that right speaker of your Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 stopped working.
    Since the headphones work fine and you hear intermittent audio while pressing the LCD/hinge, chances are that the wire that goes to the right speaker is probably loose or the speaker itself needs to be replaced.
    Refer the hardware maintenance manual to understand how to remove the speaker assembly and check.
    If your system is under warranty, I strongly recommend you to contact our technical support for assistance.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.

  • Yosemite - Bluetooth speaker stops working

    I have an issue where my Bluetooth speaker stops working.  It shows up on the devices list under Bluetooth but when I try to connect it does not do anything.
    Rebooting fixes the problem.   But then the next day when I try to use the speaker again it does not work.
    This started happening with the upgrade to Yosemite.
    Please advise, thanks,
    OS X 10.10.1.  MacBook Pro 15" Retina mid 2012

    Scratch that.  Things have improved in 10.10.2 - I am able to reconnect to the Bluetooth speaker more often, but it does sometimes fail and I have to reboot.
