My sound will not work

My sound will not work when I unplug my headphones. A red light is also appearing in the headphone jack.

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
Make sure Mute is not enabled.
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.

Hi:
See if installing the XP audio driver works...
Download and run this driver. If it automatically installs the audio, great. If not...close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-42513-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on update driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
The select Have Disk and browse to: C:\SWSetup\sp33443\CPL30A5a and select the Conexant High Definition Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
Then reboot.

My iPhone 5 sound will not work!

I will only have sound when on speaker phone or when the headphones are plugged in. I have tried to restart the phone and plug it into itunes with no luck. Will still vibrate and says that the ringer is in (headphones) but they are not plugged into the phone. There is absolutely no sound that outwardly comes from my phone EXCEPT when I go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtone. BUT ONLY RINGTONE! If I try it with anything else, text, voicemail, tweet, ect, it will only vibrate. I have only had my phone 2 days!

book a genius bar appointment and take it to the apple store and they will replace the handset if still in warranty if not they will give you a price

Sound will not work after inserting my headphones!

I was watching a youtube video and decided to listen through my headphones so I inserted my apple iphone headphones and no sound was working!! i was worried, i thought maybe this was because my headphones had broken so i took the headphones out and no sound was coming through the speakers.
i even tested the headphones through the iphone and it works perfectly.
Theres not red light or anything. When I turn up the sound or turn it down it makes no ound but looks the same.
I checked the system preferences without headphones in it says in output: internal speakers, built in. everything looks the same. and when headphones are in it says: headphones, built in ...?
I'm confused as to what to do. please help me!

I am having the same problem. so if anybody can help us. For mine the sound comes on after 5-10 min but when I plug the headphones it stops working. also the sound icon on the task bar turns gray

Firefox sound will not work, I've tried suggestions and nothing is working.

I'm using Windows Starter 7. Computer sounds work, IE sound works. I've created a new profile, made sure all mixers and volumes were on. Web page sounds is enabled. I've updated flash and quicktime. Windows audio is running. I've tried a missing.reg solution. Nothing is working. I like firefox but with no sound it is pretty much a waste of my time. I haven't uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, that is my last resort. Please help.
== I noticed it a couple of days ago. Nothing has changed except for choosing a default player and I've even tried changing that.

OH!! I forgot to post on here how I fixed this!! I searched for the solution on YouTube. Here's how to fix it!!!

This is the reply I gave on the video....
I give you 100 stars for this!! I've been trying for a month to get my sound back on Firefox. I tried so many things and this was the easiest and it works!. I'm soooo happy. Thanks for your video...yea!

I have no sound on macbook air. This is the latest version and just recently sound will not come on. Help?

I have no sound on macbook air. This is the latest version (purchased July 2013) and just recently sound will not work at all, even with headphones. Help?

did you put your Air to sleep with headphones attached, or closed the monitor with phones attached?
Do not sleep your Air (close the monitor with headphones attached) with headphones attached, this is known to affect some Air under Mavericks.
* this occurrence is being looked into.
Much testing on my own and others as well show that, in some instances, this occurs in Mavericks.
If you choose you may contact Apple for an appt and diagnostics.
However as said, refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
Test this and re-verify
peace

You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
         by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
         installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

HT201401 The sounds are working on my iPhone but the ringer will not work...it only vibrates on incoming calls. Volume is set high.

The sounds are working on my i phone but the ringer will not work...it will only vibrate. I have the volume set at high.

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
Have you tried ALL the troubleshooting steps? If you have and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible exchange.

Craetive Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook will not work in just any Lapt

The following is an email I just sent to Creative support ear Sirs or Madam:
I have been a Creative user ever since I've been using computers.
Recently I visited your website in search of a better sound card for my laptop as I work in Iraq and I'm home on R&R. In Iraq all we have to do on our off time is listen and share music files. On your website I found a Creative sound blaster X-Fi sound card which fit my needs perfectly. I called Creatives support number and the lady that answered informed me that they did not have any in stock at the Creative center,,,,she refered me to the Dell website for purchase. I indeed ordered the th blaster X-Fi. When the sound card arri'ved I was very excited. I plugged in the card and nothing ! I went over the instructions several times before calling the Creative tech line. I was informed after 20 minutes with the tech person that it would not work in my laptop. the tech person told me it will only work in newer lapto
ps.
My laptop is a one year old toshiba satellite A05-S7 which I bought at the military PX in Iraq april 06. No where on your website did it say that it wouldn't work in my particular laptop. because of shipping charges and restocking fees I am forced to keep this card which will not work of course until I buy a new Laptop. I was informed buy your Tech support person that I needed an Audigy 2 zs notebook card for my laptop,,,well Creative of course didn't stock or have that card so I have searched High and low on the internet for this card with no avail. Today ( 6 nov 07 ) I am forced to order a **competitor** sound card which will fit my laptop. I am very upset and disillusioned with Creative at this point. I am sure my email will most likely go un-noticed as does most emails or letters to manufacturer's complaining about there products or service. It looks like when I return to Iraq I will have to promote the **competitor product** sound card as the card to use. I am very sorry this has happened and I hope you ad to your website the laptops this X-Fi card will work and not work in.
Message Edited by Dale-CL on -6-2007 :29 AM

First, please refrain from mentioning/discussing competitor products on this forum, as it is against the rules.
Next, you are correct that the X-fi Xtreme Notebook will not work in any notebook. As it states in the System Requirements, it requires a ExpressCard slot to function. The Audigy notebook card requires an older PCMCIA slot, which is what your laptop has. I'm sorry the Xfi card didn't suit your needs, but you will have to have the newer, faster slot in order to use it as it states in the requirements.

Dv2109nr Sound works and will not mute, after hibernation it will not work until i reboot it

On my computer lately the sound will work but i cannot press the mute button or turn it down all the way. Then when it hibernates and i go to use it the sound does not work. Also when i plug in my head phones they work but the sound doesn't turn off on the speakers.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I had the same issue with my iPhone aswel, first i checked my headphone jack to see if i had set the liquid contact indicator off (which it hadnt).
Then i did a hard reset:
- hold the sleep/wake and home button down at the same time
- the phone will turn off then when the apple logo appears release both buttons
this worked for a day for me then the issue returned. so what i did after that was backed my phone to itunes anbd restored my phone to factory settings. for the past 2 weeks the issue has not returned.
hope this helps

HT2693 Downloaded the piano keyboard app and will not work at all...also no sound. This app only. Refund??

I downloaded the piano keyboard app....will not work at all....the screen comes up but no a tigon when trying to use...also no sound.

Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps,
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 - let go of the buttons.
Delete the app and reinstall. You will not have to pay for it again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Hold down on the icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Go back to the App Store purchased tab and download the app again.
