Have you tried resetting the PRAM? The volume settings are stored there, so resetting the PRAM may help with volume problems.

No audio from built-out speakers on my Mac book pro

no audio from built-out speakers on my Macbook pro, but with external headphones or speakers it does work. I see a red light inside the audio line-out port when you disconnect devices. What can I do?

The internal switch is stuck.
Insert the earphone jack several times.
Blow real hard into the audio output ort.
Take a toothpick and jiggle inside the audio output port.
If no success, visit the Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.

HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx laptop - No audio from built in speakers of recently purchased laptop

I purchased my laptop (HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx laptop) from best buy on Saturday, May 9th, less then a week ago. Yesterday the audio/sound stopped working completely - from the built-in speakers. I can hear ALL sound just fine from headphones. Only the internal speakers aren't funcioning. I did online troubleshooting, and also chatted with a technician, and I still have the same problem. I ran all updates, the status on the sound driver says it is funcioning properly. Even the little fluctuating green bars (on the volume control) SHOW that sound is coming out, but still unless I have headphones in, no sound comes out. The HP monitering software DID pop up and say there were critical errors and the computer needed to be updated yesterday, but I don't know if that was related because once I did all the updates, the audio still had the same problem. Please help me out.
Thanks,
Kalli

If it is less then a week, just return it to bestbuy. You may have a loose connection in speaker jack.
Have you try to use recovery DVD? try to install it to the factory setting.
If it does not work, definitely you have a hardware problem.

No audio from built in speakers

I have a HP G60-530US notebook... My problem is no audio from speakers. I do have sound from head set when pluged in..

Sounds like it might be something inserted that was broken off inside. Was probably done trying to free up the digital output inside the jack when no audio first appeared. Don't think it would be part of the jack that hasn't retracted, but if it were, you'd be facing a repair -- not sure how expensive, but could be expensive enough. If something broke off, can't think of an easy way to get it out. Maybe some double stick tape or adhesive on the round tip of something: insert, make contact and pull. But don't think you'd get enough traction. Might end up leaving the adhesive or tape inside, which wouldn't look great when you send it back. Probably just send it back.

TS1574 no audio from built-in speakers and red light visible through the headphone port

My 15" late 2006 MBP has just stopped producing sound from the internal speakers and for the first time there is a red light visible inside the headpbone output port. Apple support says contact support but since I'm a long time out of even my extended warranty I wondered if anyone had a fix-it suggestion I might try myself?

Try to plug the headphone into and out of the headphone socket couple of times
to flip the microswitch in the socket.
Red light visible means sound output is stuck in digital mode.
Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Procedure is same for 10.6
Reset SMC.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:

If these steps do not help, repair Apple Store is needed.

TS1574 no audio from built-in speakers on MacBook

Anyone else have this problem? Using a 13" MacBook Late 2007.

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.
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

No Audio from built in & external headphone from HP Pavilion dv6810us Notebook PC

I have HP Pavilion dv6810us Entertainment Notebook PC. You can find the complete product details @
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01391847&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3686683 .
When I play any video file only picture is visible but no sound is coming from built in speakers. Also audio is not coming although I connect headphone. The speaker icon in the system tray have 'X' (Red cross mark) on it & when I hover mouse on it is displaying message "No Audio Output Device is installed", so I cannot open the volume control.
I don't know how it happened suddenty. Everything was working perfectly fine before. I have not uninstalled any driver. My laptop comes with preconfigured Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 edition & Altec Lansing speakers. Also I can't see "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager. I tried to "Add legacy hardware" to add "Sound, video and game controllers" in Device Manager, but I couldnt find out the Altec in the manufacturers list.
HP customer care suggested me to install Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver from ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp40001-40500/sp40170.exe. But when I try to install it, I am getting error "Driver Installation failed : Could not find the device for this driver."
Can anybody suggest me how can I enable audio without loosing my data on it?

Go to Sound via Corntrol Panel. In Playback tab you should see Internal Speaker/Headphone with message showing the conexiant working and also a tick in green circle. If not select and apply or OK. This should solve your proble. If not then follow this:
Go to Device Manager via the Control Panel and look under Sound, Video and Game Controller. The active drive like High Definition Audio Driver should be listed. Right mouse click (dont do anything but select Properties and select Driver Tab and see if "Roll Back Driver" is high lighted, if yes then revert back to your previous driver. I think from here on you should be able to manouvers around and get your sound.

Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

Anyone know if there is an adapter to record audio from an outside source in real time to an iphone 4s or 5s video?

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.

No sound from built in speakers but headphones ok, pavilion dv6

HI all,
Out of a sudden , after watching a youtube video, my speakers and headphone gave noise when I was RE playing the video that I watched seconds ago.
I restarted my lap, and then didn't hear a sound at all
checked my drivers and updated them
the headphone is working fine. but when I unplug it I hear no sound from my built in speakers. though the drivers are working fine.
took my lap for maintenance to get it cleaned up and checked, they told me the speakers are connected and the wires are all fine! but the problem still exists.
they wanted me to leave it with them to be checked ... but I just didn't trust them since they suggested the sound card is damaged! if it was dagamed I don't think I'll be getting any sounds ! right ?
please, can any one tell me what could be the problem ? and how to solve it ?

running windows 8.1 for the past year

Hi Chaand,
You can try installing this IDT High-Definition Audio driver, it is not for your model but it is a Windows 8.1 driver. There are no Windows 8.1 driver for your model. If installing that driver doesn't work then it is a most likely a hardware issue with the speakers and you should have either a local technician take a look at it or send it to HP for repairs. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

Run audio from microphone to speakers?

I have an external USB microphone for my MacBook, and I want to know how I can make the audio from the microphone play immediately through the speakers instead of being recorded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try LineIn.

No sound from built in speakers on iPhone 4

I had this problem once before and am not sure how I fixed it. When I unplugged my earphones I no longer get sound via the built iin speakers.

Unfortunately I didn't. I took the time to make an appointment with the Genius Bar and was told (by an unusually smug tech) to go home, back up my data, then restart the phone with the power button and center button down. If that didn't work to then Resotre as new through iTunes. I had already done all that so it seems I will eventually have to get a new phone. I asked said agent before I jump and pay for a new (4S) phone if there was the iPhone 5 set tp debit. He answered unequivacally that there wasn't. Several days later there was a news story hinting that there was. With all that said I will live with my phone that sometimes rings and sometimes doesn't for as long as I can and wait to see what story is correct.
If you haven't tried any of the above you should (it worked once for me several months ago). Good luck.

Two issues: screen flickering on long shots in HD and why does Apple TV2 suddenly loses content from my iTunes library at random times

Hi.
I'm genearlly happy with the idea of my Apple TV 2, but I've got two problems with it that keep popping up and I have no idea how to fix them:
1- Watching HD video causes the image to flicker on long shots. My TV is a 40" Sharp Aquos from 2010. SD content seems fine. Tried several HDMI cables and no dice.
2- At random times, the Apple TV 2 will lose all the information from my itunes libraries. It'll still connect but give me the message "There are no items" or something similar. My current workaround is to disconnect from home sharing, then reconnect and enter my username and password with the Apple remote (remote app on iPhone no longer works at this stage) which is a pain, because my PW is complicated.
Any solutions?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
1- Watching HD video causes the image to flicker on long shots. My TV is a 40" Sharp Aquos from 2010. SD content seems fine. Tried several HDMI cables and no dice.
There may be a couple of reasons for this. It may simply be poor encoding. Alternatively stuttering can become quite noticeable on panned shots when the the framerate of the video does not match the TV output frequency.
2- At random times, the Apple TV 2 will lose all the information from my itunes libraries. It'll still connect but give me the message "There are no items" or something similar. My current workaround is to disconnect from home sharing, then reconnect and enter my username and password with the Apple remote (remote app on iPhone no longer works at this stage) which is a pain, because my PW is complicated.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

How to call people from built-in speakers?

Does anyone know how you can call people from Skype™ with no microphone, but only from speakers? My friend wants to know this, he apparently wants to use some soundboard, and if you call from your speakers, the person you are calling can only hear the soundboard but nothing else like background noise or anything.
He's been bugging me to find this out, lol. Anyone know? He has a MacBook Pro 15" OS X Lion.

for others to hear you or for you to record your voice a microphone is required
a speaker can never be used at all it's just a magnetic construction which moves air to produce sound
