My computer has no sound
hi my macbook pro has lost sound - have done all the basic thngs to fix (pram restart) and there is there nothing jammed in the jack. Any ideas?
Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Highlight Internal Speakers.
Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and 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 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".
4. 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.

My computer has no sound :( help?
I really need some help. My computer has no sound at all. Windows media player, youtube, there just doesn't seem to be any sound. (my volume is not on mute) I also checked that my sound driver is installed and updated but still no audio Thanks in advance!
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
It might be worth resetting the bios defaults as follows.
Shut down the PC. Tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the PC to enter the Start-up Menu and then select the Bios menu ( usually f10 ). Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.

HP Envy 23 touchsmart windows 8.1 computer has no sound only with headset
Computer had working sound 2 days ago. But now it will only work with a headset. I have checked and tested and says every thing is working fine. I am at a loss.
Thanks,Hello retired_gramma,

I understand that a few days ago you had sound and now you only have sound when you plug in your headset and that you are running Windows 8.1. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8), which will walk you through restoring your computer back to before this happened. As you stated it is only 2 days I would go back a week. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications or settings that have been installed or changed in the past week.

Hp pavilion g6-1d28dx, there was an error message about a driver, now the computer has no sound. :(
Computer: HP Pavilion g6-1d28dx
System: Windows 7 - 64 bit
Error Message: "Driver not installed properly" I did not accept any drivers to install, and it did not specify what it was trying to install.
I made no changes to the system that I know of..
And now, my sound does not work. I tried through the internet and Windows Media Player. WMP gives me an error message when I try to play music, and will not play. The error message states "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file." When I click the "web help" button from WMP it tells me to update my drivers, but my computer says all sound based drivers are up to date.
Help?Download & Save the latest IDT Audio driver. In Control Panel, Programs & Features uninstall the IDT software, restart the laptop and use the downloaded file to reinstall.

If still no sound,try a hard reset.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

If that doesn't cure it, Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back. -

My computer has lost sound on utube but still plays on itunes
Hi, I no longer have sound on utube or news channels but do have sound on itunes.
ideas?
GarrettHmmm, looks serious from here...
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
After reboot, do we still get those 2 errors? -
what do you do when you download a show and it has no sound? ( the volume is up on itunes and my computer)
That's what iTunes -> Preferences -> Playback -> Sound Check does - equalizes the volume across tracks to provide a more-even playback.

My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?
The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS. -
I purchased a movie from iTunes and when i try to play it on my mac or iphone its just black and has no sound...
help please!Are you going to Movies - Purchased or Computers - Movies ?
If you go to iTunes Store on your computer - Quicklinks - Purchased. Is it showing up there?
Is this a purchase or a rental? -
The problem that have started when I was going to sync my iPhone 4 with current iTunes running on 64bit Windows 7.
I started iTunes and plugged in my iPhone.
All looked good and the iPhone came up as the device as it should have.
Next I wanted to transfer purchases prior to syncing so I started the Transfer Purchases process.
iTunes stopped working during the Transfer Purchases process
Now when I plug in my iPhone iTunes takes me to the “setup your iPhone” screen and displays “This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device” and only allows me to restore and old backup or setup as new.
Obviously some files were not closed properly when iTunes crashed during the transfer purchases process, how can I cleanup iTunes so that it will allow me to backup and sync my phone.
I am a software developer and am sure that a fix is not in the menu options What I am saying is that I can easily remove or edit corrupt files to get it working.

My computer has been acting weird lately. Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all directions, does not go into sleep mode sometimes, instead shows a gray screen with word definitions in large 3" letters that continuosly flows across the screen. Do I have a virus?
Doesn't really sound like a virus.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

My 2006 Mac with Intel that is running on OSX 10.6.8 suddenly has no sound
My computer has been acting a little erratic for close to a month now, but I thought it was a browser issue. Ever since I uninstalled Google Chrome and Firefox, then downloaded Safari, things are not loading as quickly as they should, I try to download newer versions of Firefox and/or GoogleChrome, and, when I do, it will not download completely. The download will begin, then stop, and I'll get this message on the screen saying "Plug-in Failure". I installed MacKeeper, and, it seemed to be helping, a little, but, when I read what people had said about it in here, I immediately uninstalled it. Yesterday evening, prior to uninstalling MacKeeper, I lost all sound on my computer. It had been fine, and then suddenly, it was just gone. I uninstalled MacKeeper, tried changing system preferences, tried all kinds of things, and still no sound. That, andI'm still unable to download other web browsers. Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How large is your HD & how much space do you have left?
Regarding your sound:
Repair permissions & restart.
Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1574 Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
Quit out of the GarageBand app.
=====================
Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

Quicktime Restarts Computer, Has NO Audio
Quicktime Restarts Computer, Has NO Audio
Quicktime 7.7.2 Restarts Computer.
Summary:
1. Change the setting so the Computer does NOT Restart on Error.
2. Update the Video Driver.
See article on how to change the setting so the computer will NOT Restart on Error: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/743448?start=0&tstart=0
• Changed the Setting so the Computer will NOT Restart on Error.
• Updated ATI Video Driver from the Internet ( Computer > Properties > … > Device Manager, right Click on Video Driver and click Update Driver.
Now Quicktime did NOT Crash but still had NO Audio (See below).
Quicktime 7.7.2 has NO Audio.
Summary:
1. Install an older version of Quicktime (Ex. 7.6.5)
• I Updated the SoundBlaster Audigy Driver from the Internet (Still NO Audio when running Quicktime).
• Now that the Drivers were Updated, I Uninstalled and then re-installed Quicktime to see if it would make a difference (Still NO Audio when running Quicktime).
• Trying something else - I installed an older Version of Quicktime ( I used 7.6.5).
Now Audio worked when using Quicktime.
Computer Specs:
• AMD 3000+
• 3GB RAM.
• Windows XP Service Pack 3.
• ATI Video Card.
• SoundBlaster Audigy Sound Card.
Extra Notes: Even with my Windows 7 Computer - I only have 7.6.7 - it also works correctly - with audio.Qualcomm Pure Voice is still an export option in version 7.3 (as it has been in every version).
It fails to play in 7.3 as others have noticed. I didn't catch it in my beta tests of this version and expect it to be fixed with an updated version.
I just tested exports using that codec and they do play the audio. Only a few Pure Voice audio tracks I have on my machine fail. All use 22.050 Hz at mono settings.

I've had others but this is the most recent. I ran the Nvidia scanner and loaded the video drivers it recommends (340.52). I've got two GeForce 8800GTX cards connected with SLI cable. I've tried turning SLI off as well. I also removed and re-seated the cards.
I also just replaced the RAM with another 4GB brand new from a supplier (240pin DDR2 DIMM UNBUFF.PC2 - 6400 CL6).
It crashed about once a day, totally randomly, sometimes when idle.
I zipped a copy of the DUMP file and MSINFO32 file to my OneDrive but I don't know if I need / how to share it (please advise if necessary).
I would be very grateful for a solution.
Regards
MarkOk, here is what I think. The MEMORY.DMP you provided was older and basically less helpful than what was recorded in the MSIinfo file. You are on the right track in your thinking that the crashes are related to
GeForce 8800GTX cards, so I am going to suggest an uninstall and "clean" reinstall of the current driver.
If no joy, try an older driver.
btw, apologies for the voluminous post...
