Internal speakers with Blackbook

Hello,
Just received my balckbook and sometimes when the machine is one for a half hour, my internal speakers are dead.
If I reboot my system...they start working and hen off again.
Mine moons some times.. Can you please tell me how you guys measure the temperature on this..
Also is this normal? I have it plugged to the wall now from this morning. The magsafe is always green lit and the battery icon on the menu has a x in it. Is this normal..
thanks

It is definitely not normal. I have a Blackbook also with none of those issues. I would suggest you exchange it for another one if posible.

Is it possible to use internal speakers with the headphones connected?

as the connection of headphones is on the back of the iMac, it would be very useful to be able to switch between the internal speakers and the headphones, without ever having to unplug the headphones from your Mac Is this possible?

Although it still means unplugging I bought one of these though I do use headphones very infrequently:

but at least I don't have to fiddle around the back of the mac and risk,in time, damaging the socket on the mac.
If you decide to purchase one, be careful where you buy from as there are Belkin imitations around ie eBay and indeed Amazon where the quality is suspect particularly if it only costs a couple of £s'. Bought mine from a renowned retailer with genuine Belkin blister pack.

IMac Internal Speakers WITH Audio Out

I have a stereo hooked up to my iMac and everything sounds great. What I'm wondering is this. Is there a way to have sound come out of BOTH the internal speakers and the headphone/audio out jack? I haven't found a simple soultion obviosuly, but is there any kind of work around? I know can buy a pair of external speakers and all would be fine. But I'd like to not take away from the output of the headphone jack. So then I was wondering if I cannot have the internal speakers work in conjunction with the headphone jack, if I get a pair of firewire or USB speakers so as to not take away from the headphone jack, will they even work since I have something plugged into the headphone jack? I'm guessing they would still work since they are independent from the jack, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Problems with soundoutput on internal speakers with Macbook 13"...!

Receiving my Macbook today 13" Alu...beautiful
One problem: Whatever sound comes out of the book on the internal speakers, its overlayed by a v. loud "pink noise"... I mean every sound...when u turn up the volume, the volume of the pink noise is not changing, but when its louder, u realize, that the music (for example) is recognizable in the background.
When I turn the book on...the starting sound comes 100% normal, after that the problem comes back..
Headphone out is completly 100% OK...no pink noise, all normal!
Anybody any idea? A friend told me, there was a similar problem in older laptop series, which was basically software based?
Thanx 4 your help!!!!

anybody?

Can I replace my current internal speakers with louder speakers?

I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2009, the speakers aren't loud enough and I'd like to replace them with louder ones. Is this possible?
I downloaded some software which did make the speakers louder but the sound was distorted so I stopped using it (it would probably have damaged them IMO).
Thanks.

No. Use external speakers or output sound to an external HiFi and you can go as loud as the external system lets you.

Why are my internal speakers not working?

When starting the computer or restarting the sound works breifly for the reboot. Other than that, only headphones will work. In system preferences the sound output only shows Internal Speakers with the type Optical digital-out port.

The microswitch inside the port is stuck. If you look inside it, do you see a red light?

No sound from internal speakers, Vista64

Hi everyone,
I have a dv9000 (dv9260nr) running vista 64 ultimate and my speakers suddenly stopped working. I already tried googling all the possible troubleshooting techniques and I have done the following:
Uninstall/reinstall/updating drivers from hp website
making sure its not on mute with volume at level 100
system restore
physically changing the internal speakers with working ones
There are no yellow exclamation marks under device manager and everything says its operational. The sound settings have "speakers" checked as default. The sound only works if I plug in headphones or external speakers. This problem happened right after my game crashed (Fallout 3), so when I restarted the computer, I noticed there were no system sounds. I'm at the end of my rope and would love some tips in fixing this **bleep** problem.

Have you try hard reset?
Perform the following actions to prepare the computer for troubleshooting a startup problem.
Remove the battery and AC adapter from the notebook.
Remove any optical disks (CD or DVD), and disconnect any external devices or peripherals such as USB devices, printers, docking stations etc.
Press the Power button for about 2 - 5 second.
Plug the AC adapter directly into a functioning wall socket.
Press the Power button to turn on the computer.

Problem with internal speakers of MacBook Pro

Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone have experienced a problem with internal speakers of Mac Book Pro. In my MackBook the Internal speaker volume goes down automatically. I checked the System Preferences>Sound>Output , from there I check that it is in the middle ( Balance) However, the problem is still the exists. Just for testing I played an audio file and I moved the bar toward the right speaker it is the same and when I move toward the left speaker the whole sound goes off . Looks like one speaker stops working completely. Then I checked the Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Configure Speakers from there I checked both left and right speakers and the channel frequency is fine. Still same issue. I have no idea what is going on , I really need your suggestions to get this fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to use Internal Mac Speakers with something stuck in the headphone jack?

A while ago, I broke a pair of headphones in the jack of my Macbook Pro. This means I can't use the external speakers either, and it's very annoying. It's now been a year, and I have been getting by with a combination of using Wifi2Hifi, a USB audio adaptor, and switching to Windows to use my speakers. Is there any way I can override the Mac software to make my speakers available to use like they are in Windows? I lost my USB adaptor a couple days ago, and I really don't want to wait for a new one to come in the mail if I can just get my internal speakers to work. I would prefer to use Mac because I have 12,000 songs in my itunes and my external Hard Drive is formatted to Mac, so when I want to watch the movies I have stored on it, I can't do it in Windows.
Also, I'm aware of the "Use Audio port for:" option, but I can't select this. I see the text, but there's no dropdown menu.

If you have Office 2004, it won't run on Lion. You have three options:
1. Upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011 for Mac
2. Download the free Office suite Libreoffice
3. Buy Apple's 'Numbers' (for spreadsheets), 'Pages' (for word processing) programs and/or 'Keynote' (for powerpoint) from the App store. Combined cost is still a lot cheaper than Office and they will read and export is all Office formats.
A fourth option, if you can't live without 2004 for some reason, would be to revert to Snow Leopard.

Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

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. 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. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. 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 not appear 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.

Sound problems with Yosemite when switching from internal speakers to earbuds

After upgrading to Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, when I switch from using the internal speakers for sound and plug in my (Apple) earbuds, the sound stops working. The sound also stops when I do the reverse and unplug my earbuds, nothing comes out of the internal speakers. The only way to restore sound is to go into System Preferences, Sound, and select the output device (internal speakers, earphones, etc..). Anyone else experiencing this problem after installing Yosemite, or know of a fix?

I have the same problem..
there is something else happened twice with me, I plugged my macbook with a HDMI cable to the TV, and everything was ok, until I closed the macbook (sleep mode), when I opened the mac again,, the sound has gone! No sound from TV or macbook,, the only solution is to "RESTART"

10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers

For people with internal speakers, or those without subwoofers: Please read all the way to the bottom to find a test that will determine whether you are also having audio problems, even if you can't hear pops.
We've had a lot of discussion about audio popping due to 10.4.10, and the evidence indicates that the audio circuitry is going to sleep to conserve power, even on AC-only computers like the iMac, Mac Mini, and (at least one) Mac Pro. Some people claim to not have this problem, but I'm wondering if they just aren't noticing it.
Having external speakers with a subwoofer, set to high amplification, are key to obvious detection of the problem. Let the sound subsystem go idle for 30+ seconds (wait a minute with no audio, just to be safe), turn up your external speakers really loud, and cause the computer to make a sound. You should hear a burst before the sound plays. If you repeat the sound, you won't hear the burst. This is the sound of the audio circuitry powering on, and the speakers are amplifying it.
About 30 seconds after the sound finishes playing, if you leave the volume of your speakers turned way up, you should hear a "pop" as the circuitry is powered off. Then, playing another sound will recreate the burst.
I haven't been able to hear these sounds with internal speakers, either on the Mini or iMac. But the problem still exists, and it is detectable... if you know what you are looking for.
The burst of the audio circuitry turning on also causes a delay in the audio. The delay is a noticeable fraction of a second, an it can easily be detected if you have a repeatable source of sound. I like Terminal.app, because I use that application all day, every day. Here is how you can check to see if you are also subject to the audio problems:
1. Start Terminal.app (in the /Applications/Utilities directory).
2. Wait one minute for the audio circuitry to shut down.
3. Without typing anything else, very quickly strike and release the Backspace key.
4. If you pressed the key all the way, the program should have caused a beep. However, if the audio circuitry goes to sleep, the beep should occur after you have moved your hand off the key. This is because the circuitry takes time to power itself on before playing the sound.
5. Now, quickly strike the Backspace key again. You should notice that the sound is produced immediately as you hit the key, without the delay you just witnessed.
6. Strike the Backspace key repeatedly, to confirm that there is no audio delay. Do this about once every second or two. If you press the key too rapidly, not all of the presses will produce sounds... this behavior is not related to the issue we are testing.
7. Wait another minute for the audio circuitry to shut down, and strike the Backspace key once more. You should again observe a delay between your strike and the sound production.
If you witness delays like this, your audio circuitry is also going to sleep, and you are having the same audio problems as the rest of us. However, either because you are using internal speakers, or because your external speakers don't have the appropriate response, you aren't hearing the same bursts and pops as the rest of us.
Please try this test, and report here. I want to build a list of people who previously couldn't hear the sounds, but still have the delay. This might give us a better picture of the scope of the problem.

Re: 10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers
Your analysis of what is happening is right on.
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on your laptops.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

Internal speakers have stopped working (Lenovo W500 with Win 7 Pro)

Hi
I have a Lenovo W500 4062-5YG... O/S: Win 7 Pro
My sound device is a Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD.
The problem is, that the internal speakers have stopped working all of a sudden... I think it is a hardware problem since when I hookup external speakers or headphones they produce sound... but I am no expert!
I have done the following to try and fix it:
Disable, then enable audio drivers
Uinstall, then install audio drivers
Setting the internal speakers as the default speaker source
Restoring the system to an earlier day (where I knew that the speakers had functioned)
None of these actions have worked.
I actually thought I could perform a hardware test on the speakers in the "Lenovo Solution Center"... but it doesn't seem like it:-(
So...
How can I know for sure whether it is a hardware or software problem?
And more importantly - How can I get my internal speakers to work?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
Philip

Why the iPad internal speakers not working with some applications and key sound?

My iPad1 ' internal speakers not fully functioning. It is working with music and video, YouTube , but not working with applications such as games.
Also with key pad sound .
Please help me in this regard.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
