My macbook isn't making any sound
There is no sound, and no start up sound and the only option in the sound preferences in 'Digital Out' is 'optical digital-out port'.
Mandrake,
There are a number of things that can cause this, here are some of the most common remedies.
Try looking in the headphone port and see if there is a red light, if there is, take a set of headphones and plug them in and out several times, there is a micro switch that sometimes gets hung up and this can help free it up.
Also you can try a pram reset:
Power off the mac, power it back up and hold the following keys immediatly, option, command, P, R (no commas)
which should make the start chime sound, continue to hold these keys till you hear the chime 2 times, then release. Reboot.
If no joy, try going to applications>utilities>Audio MIDI set up, and make sure that internal speaker is selected.
Hope this helps,
SJP

[SOLVED] MPD isn't making any sound while running as its own user
I can't make MPD produce any sound when it runs as its own user.
- I'm running MPD from systemctl
- If I run MPD as my own user I get sound
- I am not using pulseaudio
- mpv, for example, plays sound fine
- speaker-test -c 2 -D hw:1 plays sound fine
- journalctl -u mpd gives errors of the following type:

I'm not exactly sure what to put in ~/.asoundrc, however... -
When I get a text while the phone is locked it doesn't make the designated alert sound, but it does if the phone is unlocked and in use.
I think you have the 'do not disturb' function enabled. If there is a moon icon in the top right of the home screen that will be the problem. Go to settings, do not disturb, and make sure manual slider is off. I had the same problem and took me a day to figure out.
Good luck -
iPad is not making any sound when typing, watching video from YouTube and video from cameroll. I don't even hear when I receive notification. My mom and dad has the same problem on their iPhone 4s. My mom when to apple store to replace for a new phone but do I have to go to the apple store to replace it too? I also tried a restore but it did not work. Please answer!
Thank youDISCONNECT BLUETOOTH.
After doing all the ridiculous resetting and changing/checking the settings by the advice given on these forums and on YouTube, I finally discovered that if you have your apple device connected to any other device by bluetooth you will not get any audio but by the device it's connected to. How un-awesome is that? Ive always been used to how my android devices work with Bluetooth which is when the system you're connected to is off or in a different mode, you still have audio. That makes perfect sense and is convenient, right? But I thought my brand new ipad was busted when I connected to my entertainment system by Bluetooth and haven't been getting any audio the last few weeks. So basically I need to go into settings every stinking time if I want to hear my game or show my wife a YouTube video. Regretting ever got this overpriced tablet... -
IPad is not making any sounds except for itunes, Pandora and Netflix. Need help.
From one day to another the iPad is not making any sounds (lock, keyboard, games) except for music on iTunes, Pandora and video on Netflix. All sounds are activated on the iPad's general settings. I have synced it and updated the OS to no avail. Any help or suggestions is gratly appreciated.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds 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.

Isn't there any sound output on HP w2558hc??
I can't find out how to get any sound OUT (for headset) of my screen...is it just me beeing silly or isn't there plugin pls help
Your HP W2558hc LCD Monitor DOES have integrated speakers. To get external sound working, you do have to connect
the sound cable from the back of the monitor to the sound output port on the back
of the computer tower. The speaker wire should have a light green colored, male, single pole mini RCA
plug which you would match with a light green colored female sound jack on the back of the tower.
In order to get sound through your headphones, you should locate the jack on the front of the computer
with the headphone symbol beside it and plug the headphone into it.

IPhone 4 not making any sound.
I just bought a new iPhone 4. All of a sudden today it has stopped making any noise. Nothing for a call, new text, song from the iPod, nothing!! I've checked all the settings under sounds (I can't even hear the previews from all the sounds). I've even restarted the phone. Any ideas on what's going on? Its brand new and I'm already having issues.
Is it still connected to the Bluetooth in your car (been there, done that)?
Put the phone in handsfree speaker mode when on a call and let us know if you hear any sounds then. -

Hi Aparana.rahul,
The beeps during the startup of your MacBook Pro indicate that it may need to be serviced. See this article for further information -
OS X Mavericks: If you hear beeps when your computer starts up
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14206
Note that while the article title says it is for computers running Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the same information applies to other versions.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can anyone help me with this?
Try this and see if it fixes it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Macbook display black & making ejection sound
Hi! After my macbook was asleep all day I just opened it up to work and the screen is black and seems as if it won't wake up. The led light is on and steady not blinking. When I force quit the book the light goes out and when I turn it on the light goes back on. So maybe the display isn't working. It sounds like something is working when the light is on. Also I noticed over the past few days that it would make a sound like it was trying to eject a disk indiscriminately while I was using it. It made that same sound tonight when I tried to reboot it. Has anyone else had these problems? HELP!
I plan to try to take it into a mac store this week. Thanks for any insight!the ejecting sound is when you bring it back from sleep. but its not stopping sleeping in this case.

I was working on my Macbook (OS 10.4.11) when the screen froze. I forced a shutdown. When I try to power it up again, I get a blank screen (not sure if gray or blue; looks sort of in between) and hear clicking noises. Eventually, a flashing question mark appears.
I found a post on this problem that said the hard drive was looking for instructions to start up (hence the clicking noises) and an Apple article about possible solutions, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1440>, but none of the steps worked.
I then booted up again, inserted Install Disk 1 for Tiger, and forced a shutdown again so that I could boot up with "C" held down see if I could solve the problem from the Uilities menu on the Install Disk. However, when I pressed the power button to start up again, the computer just spit out the Install Disk (even with "C" held down).
Can anyone tell me (1) what the problem seems to be with the computer and/or the CD drive; (2) whether a low-tech type like me might be able to fix it if I can get the Install Disk to run, or whether I just have to take it to my local Mac shop? The computer is no longer under warranty, so getting it repaired will probably be expensive.
Thanks so much for any good advice out there!Invalid Sibling Link > Invalid Sibling Link: Apple Support Communities
