Mac Book Pro volume only works through headphones

My volume does not work when I do not have headphones plugged into the phone jack? When I try to turn the volume up on my Mac Book Pro, the volume box has a restricted sign below the volume icon. How can I fix this for my Mac Book Pro?
Thank you

Try a NVRAM reset:

Mac book pro speaker sounds vibrating when volume increases

mac book pro speaker sounds vibrating when volume increases

Is there a red light coming from the headphone socket ? If so it's got 'stuck' in Digital Audio mode.
Try inserting and removing a headphone jack while wigglingit a bit - inside the socket is a small switch that can tell the difference between an analogue plug and a Toslink (digital) one - sounds like the switch is stuck in the wrong position ...

Hi, My Mac Book Pro 15'' sound is unresponsive.

   My macbook pro coincedently turned 2 years old today. However the sound is unresponsive. I am not able to tweak the sound higher or lower as the 'stop' symbol appears on the screen.
Since it is not under warranty any longer I will have to pay the price of repairing it.
The Authorised apple service center excecutive says it s a failed logic board that I need to replace (INR 34,000 rupees) .
Is there anything else I can do to repair the sound.
I have used external bluetooth speakers that connect fine but the quality of the sound is really really bad, unlike when I connect the same speakers to my smartphone where the sound is great.
Can this be repaired without replacing my logic board?
Please help

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
If not, contact AASP.
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.
6. System Preferences > Sound> Sound Effects
    Play sound effects through:
   Select "Internal speakers" and then back to "Selected sound output device".

Mac book pro playing out audio through the HDMI but only in mono since update

Hi there
I've got a mid 2010 macbook pro that used to play audio and video perfectly through the HDMI output until I updated to 10.7.4 and the
firmware (11E53). Now it plays in mono and only on the right speaker. It seems to have disabled the ability to change audio preferences on my AV receiver as well. Has any one else been getting similar problems ?
Thanks

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Why does my Mac Book Pro wifi signal come and go constantly?

The wifi icon at the top of the computer screen shows that I am connected but when I click on it, it keep going from "On" to "Looking for networks". I just bought a upper end wireless router after the Cable repair guy said it was the wireless router. It still does it. The computer is noticeably faster when I plug directly into the router.
Help!

Hi evilrussell,
If you are having issues with wifi connectivity on your MacBook Pro I would suggest using the steps in this article to help troubleshoot -

New mac book pro didn't come with any OS discs

shouldn't the box contain OS discs and software discs?

The first thing to do is calm down, and avoid listening to voices that only quote doom and gloom.
And the second thing to do is recognize you have no catastrophic failure, nor any current software or harware issues at all, so you can calmly learn what there is to learn on this forum.
Several on this site have information you can use because they have lived through disasters (both theirs and others'). "ds store" is one such voice. He (she?) services Macs, and has worked through the transition to Lion. dsstore has also helped several uninstall Lion and go back to Snow Leopard -- not that I am saying you should or have *ANY* reason to, but dsstore has extensive experience helping others.
The first part of any recovery of any Mac is backups. Lion, as I have learned from reading discussions, makes a "recovery partition" on the internal system disk. But the risk you run of relying on that "recovery partition" is that if the disk dies, you have lost recovery.
I will not cover the details of full backup strategies, as dsstore/eww/tjk/Csound1 can give you excrutiating detail to help you with that.
But with the correct backup, disaster recovery is a simple set up "install new hard disk, clone from the bootable backup" ... two simple steps. Again, such details I will leave to others.
As to some applications not supported under Lion, there is a reason.
Several programs were compiled for a chipset that is no longer made (PowerPC or PPC). The code itself is not directly runnable in Intel systems, so a transition "support system" was maintained, called "Rosetta". Rosetta is not supported in Lion anymore. Some applications are not runnable under Lion. Upgrading the applications seems the only recourse.
Now I will cede the floor.

I have had my mac-book pro for almost a year, and have just got OSX Mavericks, and now the sound on my laptop is working in a sporadic way, can I change this at all on system preferences or will I have to get it repaired?

On my mac-book pro the sound isnt working after I have installed OSX Mavericks, should I take it to be repaired, or can I do something on System Preferences?

In addition to checking system preferences/sound/output and selecting built in if that does not work, make sure volume is up and mute not checked.
You can try the following, Take a set of headphones and plug theim in and out several times (there is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck)
Go to applications>utilities>Audio MIDI set up, see if you can select built in there, make sure volume is uo mute not checked.
Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
Power off, power back on holding the following keys OPTION + COMMAND + P + R
Continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times, then release,reboot

Can you use a 1/4 headphone jack on a mac book pro?

Hi,
I have a pair of Audio Technica ATHM50RD Pro DJ Headphones. I was using them today with my 2010 Mac Book pro and the normal sized headphone jack broke off in my headphone jack port thingy. I have consequently done a lot of research and had decided to order http://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-CM-UAUD-Adapter-C-Media-Chipset/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref= cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t and get my headphones replaced because they are under warranty but then I remembered that another headphone jack had come with the headphones. I subsequently found this larger jack which I think is a 1/4 jack thingy that screws on top of my regular broken jack. I was wondering if rather than having to replace my headphones and computer plug in thing if there is some usb thing I can use to plug my 1/4 jack into my computer. If this is not a possibilty my other question is will the Syba device work if I buy and use my less nice headphones with it? Thanks in advance.

Here is Apple's official position on use of adapters.

GIS on a MAc Book Pro ?

I have been a mac user for about 10 years.
I am a Landscape Architecture student and beginning to use GIS, which is windows based.
How are the newer Mac Book Pros at using Windows through boot camp for GIS applications?
I want to purchase a new Mac Book Pro, but I am worried it will run into issues.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron

Aaron:
Though one of your solutions is to boot into Windows and run your required GIS product, you lose access to your Mac when you do this. If you want to stay with OS X, consider a native GIS for the Mac such as Cartographica which allows you to Import and Export between the CAD applications you're probably also using.
