No Built-In Audio Device Found

My Powerbook G4 does not play any audio from any source through the internal system. In the System Preferences/Sound window, the input and output windows both say "No Audio Device Found"
I've deleted preference file "com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist" and reset PRAM with no success

I am assuming that you did not get the set of original CD's that came with the iBook? You can take the serial number and call Apple, and you should be able to buy a replacement set for a fee. Then you can do an erase and install and set all new passwords. A clean install of the OS might even fix the problems you are having. And with a replacement set of the original discs, you can also reinstall all of the other software that originally came bundled on the iBook.
I don't know what the fee is for replacement discs is, but I understand it is nominal. But you do need these discs for troubleshooting so a replacement set would be the way to go.
Good luck!

  • No audio device found with X-Fi XtremeGa

    I'm having some issues with my X-Fi XtremeGamer sound card. I installed the card into my computer and installed the software. But now I am having some issues with getting it to work. When I want to run some of the sound card applications such as Audio Console from the Control Panel, I get this message stating that the audio device couldn't be found. I assume that the Multimedia Audio Controller is associated with the sound card. In the Device Manager, there is a yellow exclamation mark icon marked with the device. My question is how do I fix this?

  • Built-In Audio Devices disappeared

    Greetings everyone,
    I got a big audio problem.
    The Built-In Audio Out and Inputs of my iMac (2011) disappeared in system preferences and i noticed the coreaudio process has high CPU usage all the time. Even force quitting isnt helping, as it restarts immediatly.
    Furthermore my computer is hanging on shutdown:
    If it's entering sleep mode, the display goes black but fans and HDD are still spinning, but I cannot do anything else and I have to do a hard reset. The same happens when i'm restarting or shutting down. It just won't shut off completely (I guess because of that hanging process)
    I booted another OS X installation and everything worked fine, so there's clearly an error somewhere in my current OS X installation. But restoring from a Time Machine backup didnt help.
    Are there any files/caches I have to move to trash or anything else to fix this problem without having to reinstall OS X once again?
    Thanks.

  • No audio device found=no sound on OS9 (MDD Dual 867)

    Hello,
    i have a serious problem when running OS 9.2.2 on my dual 867 MDD. There is no sound ! In the "sound panel" i have a message like this ( i translate from french ):" Can't use audio device because it seems that another application use it". That is for "in" and "out" sound. When i try to play a movie in QuickTime, i have a message like this ( approximatly ): " you maybe can't hear the audio of the file because there is no audio device". I don't understand because there is no application running. I try everything: disable all preferences, disable all non-apple extensions, reset the pram, reinstall a clean system on other partition. Always the same problem. It's like that computer don't see an audio device - i mean the internal audio of the mac ! On OS 9.2.2 i'm running QuickTime 6.0.3 of course. When i boot on Mac Os X 10.3.9 and -for example- running "Classic QuickTime" i have sound.
    So i don't understand. Someone can help me ? Thanks !
    ( sorry for my english
    elzef

    To make sure we understand:
    when you boot your system direct to OS9, you have no sound.
    When you boot to OS X, you have sound.
    When you run classic from inside of OSX, you have sound.
    Do you have anything like an iMic, 3rd party sound card (there are a couple of complanies that make surround sound cards for Mac), USB speakers, USB headset, or MIDI device connected?

  • No Audio Device Found for Presario R3230US laptop

    I had a virus on my R3230US laptop so I restored my computer which has the XP operating system SP3, but have no audio device installed.  I downloaded the recommended driver sp28552.exe and when I installed it SoundMax was loaded.  Then my computer locked up, and I had to back down to my last good bootup.  I have done this a number of times and it always locks up.  Is there another audio driver that I should be using?  Thanks.

    Hi:
    XP normally needs the MS UAA bus driver installed and you have to install that before installing any audio driver.
    Uninstall the audio driver, reboot and install the MS UAA driver.

  • Built-in audio cannot be found?

    Hi All,
    I just bought a MacBook Pro and installed FCE, which I had stopped using for a while because my old iMac G5 was so slow. When I start FCP it gives me an error message that the built-in audio device cannot be found. I opened an old project and it seems the sound plays OK, but still that message is annoying and a bit worrying... any idea?
    Thanks
    Florence
    Edited to changed FCP to FCE, sorry for the confusion.

    You should ask your question on the Final Cut pro forum.

  • Mac Pro (2010) too many audio devices after adding 2 x 27" LED Cinema disp

    Can anyone tell me how to re-prioritize the list of audio devices shown in system preferences or Audio MIDI support?
    REALLY, what I'd prefer is a way to completely disable audio devices that I absolutely do not need.
    I am having some 3rd-party software issues with some software that cannot cope with the long list of audio devices, but I would expect that if I could remove unnecessary devices or at least change the order in which they are presented to software, I might be able to workaround the issues with the third party apps.
    Everything was fine before I installed two new 27" LED Cinema Displays, which together bring four new audio OUT devices and two new audio IN devices.
    I would like to disable all four audio OUT devices...in fact I would like to be able to disable several of the Mac Pro built-in audio devices that I will never use.
    Here's the list of audio devices that I now have:
    Internal Speakers
    Line Out
    Digital Out
    LED Cinema
    LED Cinema
    Display Audio
    Display Audio
    GN 9350
    A key 3rd-party app (with whom I am also filing a bug) only shows these choices in the "Audio output" pull-down:
    Built-in Digital Output Digital Out
    Built-in Line Output Line Out
    Built-in Output Internal Speakers
    Display Audio
    Display Audio #2
    Display Port LED Cinema
    GN 9350
    So when I try to choose GN 9350, what I get instead is "Display Port LED Cinema" -- I think the problem is that really the list should be:
    Built-in Digital Output Digital Out
    Built-in Line Output Line Out
    Built-in Output Internal Speakers
    Display Audio
    Display Audio #2
    Display Port LED Cinema
    Display Port LED Cinema #2
    GN 9350
    If the above list was actually being shown properly, then I would HOPE that I could actually choose GN 9350 and have it stick.
    But until I can get the 3rd party app fixed, I would like to know how to get the Mac Pro to either change the order of the devices as presented/listed, or to (preferably) let me completely DISABLE unneeded devices.

    Thanks... But I do still want to be able to use the built-in iSight and the USB hubs.

  • In-built Audio device not found

    Hi Guys,
    My macbook pro suddenly finds no audio device inbuilt. And i can play no sound nor hear start up sound when switching on mac.
    I get a 'no parking' like symbol beneath my audio options.
    I've tried rebooting in safe mode, Resetting PRAM, Repairing permissions in disk utilities, use my ipod touch headsets, headphones.. NOthing worked.
    And i'm feeling deaf whenever using Mac now.
    Is there anyway to get the audio back ?
    Thanks,
    Raesh

    Hmm.. Okay. Would give it a last try.
    And I have a couple question before doing that..
    1. I did the hardware test and It gave me this error .. " 4SNS/1/C0000008 :TPCD--24 "
        But When i looked up for this error, it tells me a sensor problem. Not as Audio device problem. Do you think this hardware error of 'sensor' has something to do with audio ?
    2. So in-built speaker isn't working, plugging in headphones cable isn't working. But i was wondering whether a bluetooth speaker would be recoganised in the system preferences > audio output device ? Will it work ?
    Because i keep on reading that an " in-built audio device not found " problem is a huge one and it costs a lot to repair. They often provide solution of changing the whole logic board (Keeping fingers crossed). And with my warranty period over, I don't wish to go through that path.  So want to know if external bluetooth speaker has a chance to get recoganised as an audio device, Then I would buy JBL bluetooth speakers. It seems good and less pricey than changing the whole logic board.
    Let me know which way i can go, Thanks in Advance Man.

    after downloading osx 10.9.2 when i open my logic pro 9 and begin to audition loops that came with lp9 i get a message that says "audio device has been removed  and then a second message the " select driver not found(-10202). my interface is a apogee duet. Can anyone provide a solution to this problem. Thanks

    YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!
    I got it!!! Yes!!!
    Guys, I've solved my problem about that error -10202 (Selected driver not found).
    I have installed in my Mac Pro (OS X 10.5.8) a document with an extension ".rsrc" to correct the position of the accents in my keyboard, like acute accent, tilde and circumflex.
    That file is called "U.S. - International.rsrc" and it's stored in the following path:
    "Macintosh HD/Library/Keyboard Layouts"
    So, when it's properly installed, I can choose 2 country flags on the right side of the menu bar (U.S. - International and Brazilian).
    That's the clue!
    When I pick up "U.S. - International", my keyboard works fine with the accents, >>>BUT<<< Logic Pro 9 doesn't recognize my audio driver; and when I pick up "Brazilian", my keyboard doesn't work with the accents exactly as it shows me on each key, BUT Logic Pro 9 DOES recognize my audio driver.
    So, when I want to write anything out, I will pick up the "US - International" and when I want to work on the Logic Pro 9, I will pick up "Brazilian".
    I hope I can help all of you.
    Regards,
    Renato Veiga.

  • No audio input device found

    Hello -
    went to Skype with Sis this evening and I could hear and see her - she could see but not hear me.
    Had a look around and message = No Audio Input Device Found.
    Had a look on the net and cant find a solution.
    If anyone could steer me in the right direction I would be grateful.
    every good wish,
    David.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I worked this out myself.
    Get into Hardware and Sound, then Manage Audio Devices.
    So when you disable a device it disappears from the menu you are looking at. You have to enable it. Trouble is you cant enable it because you cant see it - its not there for you to right mouse click on. I went into speakers menu rather than microphone menu and right mouse clicked on a speaker icon and it gave me the option of showing everything that was disabled.So I clicked on show disabled devices I went back into microphone menu  and hey presto it was there and I could enable it. I tested it on a sound recording programme and it worked.
    It hadnt gone anywhere , you just couldnt see it.
    "No Audio Input Device Found" is very misleading - surely "Audio Input Device Disabled" would be better + why make the icon disappear anyway?!

  • Snow Leopard - No Output devices found - (Audio)  Help?

    Folks
    I just installed Snow Leopard on my Mac Mini which I use as my home media centre. It upgraded fine except for the lack of audio devices it now reports. Ive been combing forum threads but to no avail.
    Appreciate any help or suggestions
    Model Name: Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini1,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 2 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz

    Update:
    Syetm profiler told me I had no sound device. I did the PRAM thing and the plist thing. no help.
    I then pulled opened the mac up and checked to make sure the daugther boards were properly seated ... I was desperate.
    When I rebooted the machine, it came up WITH SOUND. I dont think it was me opening the box as it could have also been me booting the machine up with no toslink f/o cable plugged into the output jack.
    When the mini restarted I got the bing over the system speaker, and once the machine had started the audio worked perfectly and I plugged the cable back in.
    Since the sound has been working I have lost it a couple of time since, particularly after using DVD player. this has ofetn happened as I think it gets tripped up when swthching between 5.1 audio out and normal output. Again this sorts itself out if rebooting with the output cable disconnected.
    I hate these type of issues as it seems so erratic. Let me know if starting with the cable out sorts things out.

  • Macbook Air Mid 2013 No Built-In Audio

    Hey everyone,
    I have an issue with my friends Macbook Air (Mid 2013 Model). After listening to some music through his speakers, he unplugged his Aux cable and then plugged them back in to find that he didnt have built in output or input anymore. I have tried all of the following to fix it:
    Reinstall OS X 10.8
    Run all of the Automation tools found in the application Onyx
    Reinstall certain .kext files (AppleHDA and AudioAUUC)
    Repair permissions
    Re-seat the speakers in the device itself
    Reset coreaudio
    Resetting SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM
    Clear and re-build kernal cache
    Cleaned the headphone jack
    Plugged in an audio interface
    Reloaded from Time Machine Backup
    etc...
    I've literally tried almost everything in the book. The only other thing i can think of is installing a copy of Mavericks when it comes out (In October i believe). There is no boot up chime, and after running the OS in verbose mode, i can see that AudioAUUC.kext is not being loaded. Built in audio does not appear is system profiler. What can i do to fix this problem? Could it really be a hardware issue? If so, what can i do to fix it?

    Test after each step.
    1. 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.
        Option click the speaker icon, if present and select Internal Speakers.
    2.  Plug in the head phone and reset SMC.
