Well, first of all, use correct forms of communication or you may experience the cold shoulder brushoff.
Did you try plugging in and out a few times in the suspected port with a headphone/speaker jack? Sometimes a bit of electrical resistance does not allow for the internal contacts to close, thus muting your speakers.
If there is a damaged port, whatever part it is may need replaced. In the front is a circuit board and off the side is your logic board. Either is pricy to replace, should you demand internal speakers to work. Otherwise you may have to go with external sources like speakers and headphones. OR something like an iMic and connect either headphones or external speakers into should you not repair the computer.
Here is the link to the iMic

  • Ipod touch built-in speakers wont work anymore. please help

    Like I said my ipod touch built in speakers wont work now yesterday I was able to hear and use them when I was using the pianist app from the itunes store and it worked fine and today I redownloaded the digidrummer lite app since my old one for some reason didnt work and once I did download the app I synced to my ipod and tried to play and noticed that no sound came out so I tried other apps and also my music and also no sound. with headphones connected it works fine sound comes out and all.

    K, so last night I tried the home+sleep/wake button hold thing and reset it that way and also just normal shutoffs which didnt fix it and also tried the ideas that you guys said and no go. everynow and then it would make the sound when I unlock it. so i just left it on and let the battery die see if that would do something it got to 10% and shuts off i guess so then i charged it on my stereo system with an ipod dock and was listening to music then i disconected it and to my suprise it started playing through the internal speakers again. I was skeptical at first so I turned it off and tried again it worked. so i went to the app that I think caused the problem in the first place called digidrummer lite I was able to hear the drums tom toms etc went to the home menu tried again played that app once more but this time there was no sound. I went to my music and everynow and then it would play but fade out or not play at all. so I took digidrummer off and so far the speakers are working again but I will still need to test them more.

  • Help- Mac Book Pro built in speakers wont work.

    Hi. I just turned on my Macbook Pro today and found something funny. My internal speakers will not work and when i try to use the volume keys the display comes up for volume but it has the do not enter icon. i plugged my headphones in to see if it worked and it did. i also noticed that there is a red light coming from my headphone jack when the headphones are not in it. Does anyone know how to get my speakers working again?? I looked at the help files and it says to make sure that internal speakers is checked in the : system preferences->sound->output. but all there is to check is: digital out.
    Please help. Thank you very much

    Check to make sure that digital out is NOT selected - your headphone port is also a optical digital audio port - hence the red light.
    When you plug in headphones, your computer knows that there are headphones attached and routes the audio accordingly, allowing you to use the built in volume controls. When the audio out port is set to Digital Out, your MBP thinks that there is some other digital device plugged in (with its own volume controls) and so disables the MBP's internal volume controls and internal speakers.
    If you have checked that Digital Out is not selected, you may want to try a permissions repair, and possibly a PRAM reset (Hold  + Alt + P + R when you restart your MBP - before the grey screen).
    Someone with more experience of optical ports may have another solution - obviously there isn't anything stuck in the port, so it must be a software issue.

  • I recently repaired disk permissions on my mac HD and now my on-board speakers wont work, the icon is greyed out and only works when my headphones are plugged in.

    Try to put your headphones several times in and out from your connection, might be the switch is stuck. Normally it should work again while trying to plug the headphones in and out!

  • How do I get my built-in speakers to work again

    I recently had my built-in speakers stop working less than a year after purchasing my MacBook Pro 15".  About 24hrs ago, my built-in speakers were working fine.  At some point, I was using my bose headphones, and after I unplugged them, my speakers did not work.  I've confirmed that the sound is not muted.  I have sound visible on the desktop bar, but it is grayed out.  I looked on my system preferences for audio output, and my speakers are not listed as an option.  Only optical digital-out is an option besides my Apple TV. 

    Have you tried a PRAM reset?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing.  If so, the internal switch is stuck..  Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch.  If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.
    Ciao.

    Hey j84girl,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Since you reloaded the device software and the issue is still on-going, I would suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options as this could be hardware related.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.

  • Built-in speakers not working

    Please help;
    Built-in speakers not working after using audio port to run remote speakers.
    I tried using the FAQ in iTunes to solve problem. Built-in speakers will not play sound.
    Under system prefs., sound, the device shows; Digital Out under port; Built-in Output
    Under settings for the selected device;
    The selected device has no outpt controls.
    When I adjust volume the sound level meter shows level on high but cancelled out (circle w/ slash).
    I notice RED LIGHT from inside sound port. Sound works when headphone are plugged in but not external speakers.
    thank you for any advise.

    Not really
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Equium A100-306: built-in speakers do not play some sounds

    I have had my A100-306 for 2 weeks, and my built-in speakers do not play some sounds. This problem has only arisen over the last few days. When I go through the control panel to speaker settings it says there is no speakers.
    Can any one advise me as to what to do to fix this problem?

    Very strange
    I think you should check several possibilities:
    - connect the headphones and check if you can hear the sound through the headphones.
    - Please check the device manger. Do you see any yellow exclamation marks???
    Try to remove the sound card and remove the sound driver.
    After new reboot try to reinstall the sound driver again.
    - On the notebook the Realtek HD sound effect manager should be installed.
    Please check there the settings.

  • Built in Isight wont work with IChat

    I have the New Macbook and i have used Ichat Video before but now it wont work, i get this message:this computer dose not support video conferencing
    anyone help?

    Adequate.
    The Upload is acceptable.
    iChat will fail at 50kbps (In Video chats with a message)
    The Lowest Spec Apple Suggests for 1-1 Video is 100kbps
    The lowest Apple Spec for 3 and 4 way Video chats is 384k but I have done passable ones at 256k.
    If System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming is left at Automatic in Leopard iChat reads this as 384k (it should be set to 1.5Mbps and iChat restarted if Changed)
    Have you tested at different times ?
    IS that the Best speed with the service you have ?
    Is that speed near what they say they are selling you ?
    The Speeds you quote should not get you the Too Slow Info message.
    Is that Internet Connection shared with other computers ?
    Were you doing a download ?
    Both will effect the amount of the Speed (called Bandwidth) that you get.
    Think of a Freeway as you enter a city in rush hour. It might be a road you can do the national speed Limit but you may not be able to go that fast due to other traffic.

  • Update to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working. Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working,  Same with scanner

    Help....
    Updated to 10.6.8 and HP F2100 and D2400 Printers stopped working.
    Restored 10.6.7 and printers from Install CD's but not working.
    Same with F2100 scanner
    Am I glad I kept Windows desktop as without it I would be scre**ed now
    What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
    On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
    Steve

    None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
    I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
    If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
    But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

  • Built in Camera wont work

    Ive had this computer for about 6 months now and after enjoying using photo booth and a working camera for 4 months it wont work any more. Every time I open photo booth it says that the camera is either unconnected (unlikely) or its in use by another application. When i check to make sure that all other application are closed i still says the same thing. I've created new accounts on my computer to see if it will work but of course it dosen't. Is there any thing i can do to fix this? Or is it pretty much done for? Please help! thanks

    You've received some good advice above. At this point, if your problem remains, you can use the suggestions in Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight to see if the iSight itself might be the problem. If so, you will need service by an Apple professional.
