Macbook Pro audio port not working.

I purchased a new Macbook Pro notebook about 4 weeks back. The audio port for headset does not work. I tried calling their support. Before I could speak to someone I was kept idenfinitely on hold for more than 10 minutes. I then disconnected. Terrrible service for the price they charge for their products.
Please help me solve the audio problem.

Have you tried a PRAM rest?

New 2011 MacBook Pro Firewire Port Not Working with Firewire Solo

Kind of an odd problem:
I'm basically trying to go from my MBP through firewire to a firewire solo audio interface and then from there out to two speakers. (MBP>Firewire Solo>Speakers) The light on the firewire solo turns on when I connect the firewire cable, but when i try to play sound nothing comes out. Yes, I've checked the volume. Yes, I've checked system preferences. It's not the cable, the interface, or the speakers as I've check all these with my old computer and they work fine. Also, I've plugged in the firewire solo to check if it was a power problem -- still no sound. What's going on!?

Could it just be a hardware problem?

New 2011 MacBook Pro Firewire Port Not Working with Focurite Saffire 24 DSP

The firewire port powers the Saffire 24 alone, and the device shows up in the system profiler, but I can't see it in the Sound devices menu... I have updated all of the Focusrite drivers to version 2.2 so I need to ask this board for solutions.

i am having the same exact problem. However, I've never had a Focusrite Driver installed previously. I just bought the Interface and installed the software. It downloaded the newest version of the software to install.
If it also installed the previous drivers, how would I unistall those?

You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you. But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

Using EarPods Mic with MacBook Pro 17" (2012) - not working

hello,
FYI: computer is the early 2012 MacBook Pro - last of the 17" models. it has the 2 separate jacks... one for audio/mic IN and one for headphone OUT. not combined like in the smaller models.
FYI: using a brand new (early 2013) pair of EarPods that came with a new iPhone 5.
i love using the earpods plugged in to the headphone jack to listen to music whilst working. and i also use it to "listen" when doing video conferencing via Skype, iChat/Messages, & Hangout.
but when i'm in a noisier environment (cafe), it would be nice for the other people i'm talking to to hear be better than what the built-in mic can provide. people tell me they hear me great using the earpods when talking thru my iPhone in the same locations.
so, i thought, okay, i'll just get a Y-splitter/adapter... female input to 2 male outputs. recognizing that the earpods have 3 rings on the mini-jack (2 for stereo headphones & 1 for mic, i presume), i made sure the adapter male ends had at least 2 rings on them. found one at Radio Shack.
but it does not work! :-(
discovered audio output comes thru fine, but the computer doesn't recognize the mic input.
i've gone to System Preferences > Sound > Input...
and changed the selection from "Internal Microphone - Built-in" to "Line In - Audio line-in port" but the level meter just goes dead.
i've done some reading about the MBP only allowing "line level in" vs "mic level in" but i don't know what that means.
can this work? if not, why?
am i just missing some setting somewhere? if so, what?
do i need some different kind of adapter? if so, please point me to one.
THANKS!!!

Good that it was a simple solution. I've had some of the mice lose the BT association and you have to clear out the configs and re-pair the two.

Macbook pros to TV not working

I've been connecting my two Macbook pros (2008 & 2011 both on OSX) to a Sony Bravia TV for ages using a HDMI cable connected to a HDMI adaptor to Minidisplay. For some reason now the connection doesn't work. I've tried both computers, different HDMI cables, different adaptors, different ports on the TV (and entertainment center), and nothing works. When connected directly to the TV the screen remains blank, the laptop will flicker when the cable is first connected but then nothing. The laptops don't recognize the second screen at all. I've tried resetting the PRAM, unplugging and plugging, turning everything off and on, and restarting the laptop. Nothing has worked so far.

If your Mac is capable, look in System Preferences > Sound > ouput tab and select the TV or hold the Option key down and click on the Volume icon on the menubar to accomplish the same.
Here are the models that pass sound over HDMI and those that don't.
These Apple computers supply multichannel audio (up to 8 channels) and video signals over Mini DisplayPort:
iMac (Late 2009) and later
Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later1
Mac Pro (Mid 2010)
MacBook (Mid 2010) and later
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010) and later
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)1
MacBook Air (Late 2010) and later
1No additional adapter is necessary if you are connecting directly to the HDMI port on your Mac mini (Mid 2010) and later or your MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012).
These Apple computers supply only video signals over Mini DisplayPort:
iMac (Early 2009) and (Mid 2009)
Mac Mini (Early 2009) and (Late 2009)
Mac Pro (Early 2009)
MacBook (Late 2009)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008)
MacBook Pro (late 2008), (Mid 2009), and (Early 2009)
In addition you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter that passes audio like this:

Right speaker on Macbook Pro (with Retina) not working..

Bought Macbook Pro with retina display yesterday and just noticed sounds is only coming from the left speaker. I've checked on system preferences and when I turn the left hand speaker down there is no sound. Is this a manufacturing error or something I need to do?!

Hi,
Not a lot to go by from the lack of detail in your post, however let me try to help.
[note I may not follo up on your response - just a heads up as i'm very busy [ arent we all]]
Anyway, I bought a HP Pavilliion 500 the other day. and was stoked - awesome machine at a great price locally.
So after plugging in my Altec Lansing 6.1 surround sound speakers using the brown/black/green colour coded input plugs on the back of the PC's audio card (built in) - to correspond with the cables on thealtec lansing, I noticed that 2 speakers were working at the same time, and another speaker did work at all.
I spent about an hour or 2 pulling hair until I finally turned everything off, then plugged it in, then turned n the speakers and then the PC - voila - the speakers were working, one thing I had to do though was move them around as the front right speaker was now the middle etc, no biggy - just moved the speakers around...
PS: there was a siding button on the back n my speakers that allow full 6.1 or stereo - which I hd to change to get it to work.
Also on the altec lansing model I have I had to adjust the surround knob on the main speaker control to #10 for surround for the speakers to work individually.
I hope it helps you somewhat?
Check what inputs you are using. Check the inbuilt sound control software, in my case it was DTS Audio Settings, which allowed me to tweak things a bit.
Sometimes yes it is hardward,but when you know your have "known good speakers"as I did, and a brand new PC - which in theory should handle the speakers I am using, then it can be a combination of trial and error to get them working...
I gues you have the latest drivers, and if you dont have any great input options (ie: if you only have headphones socket) and are using stereo - ty some headphones? - as sometimes it can be the cable socket itself which is just built slightly different so the speakers dont all come thourgh like they should...
Cheers

Analog Audio into Macbook Pro Audio Port

I'm trying to pass an analog audio music signal from an external recorder thru my mac pro.
Preferences settings are:
Input- audio port
Output-internal speakers
Signal is hitting the computer and registering on the input level indicator as being received but it is not being delivered by the internal speakers.
The signal from the external recorder has been verified by myself via the use of a set of headphones.
Apple Care expert technicians insist that a driver should be provided by the external device (which to me is rediculous) however I called them the device mfr.to check which resulted in nothing being available, as I expected.
Is the mac manual correct that a line level mic. (which I interpret as being an alalog signal) should work with my Mac??

I don't know what the Apple manual you're referring to says on the subject, but I doubt that LineIn is performing an analog-to-digital conversion, since the speakers need an analog signal.
And I don't think LineIn provides any amplification, either. It just enables a software path from the audio input to the speakers that isn't there otherwise. If your speaker volume is acceptable, then the signal you're inputting is already preamplified (= line-level).
But I'm no audio professional, and I could be wrong about any of this. All I really knew was that LineIn would serve your needs if your incoming signal was suitable, as it apparently was.

Macbook Pro intranet will not work on iPads

I'm trying to set up an intranet network hosted on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I have created a local web site hosted in the Apache server on the MBP, and I want 5 iPads to access it. Its event photos for sale. The problem is, the site shows up on the iPads ok, but when I tap a photo to enlarge it, it hesitates, then the browser crashes, every time, no matter what browser is used.
I'm using an Airport Extreme for the wifi. The problem occurs whether connected to the internet or not. I tried connecting the Airport to the MBP with an ethernet cable, and making a whole new intranet network on the Airport, and it still does the same thing, despite trying a lot of different configurations. So, I got a MAMP server, and it still did not help. I need it to work offline because the events I photograph rarely have internet access. I've tried using the peer-to-peer connection with the same result.
I have used the exact same system hosted on my iMac (identical operating system) with no problems.
I can't figure out what is wrong, any help would be appreciated!

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

My MacBook Pro trackpad is not working

My Macbook Pro was purchased in September 2009. The trackpad is not responding to clicks on the computer. The cursor is present and you can click the trackpad just fine, but it will not select what I click. It's very frustrating. It worked fine, but then all of a sudden it isn't. Help me with this issue please ASAP!
