No internal speaker option on my imac

I just had my video card replaced at apple and now there is no sound coming from my computer. Internal speaker is no longer an option in system preferences. Is there a way to fix this?

Reset the PRAM.
Edit the Audio Midi Setup Utility preferences.

Which model MacBook Pro do you have (e.g., "15-inch Late 2011") and which version of OS X are you running?

Line-out or internal speaker option

I have my iMac hooked up to my home stereo with a mini to RCA cable and i am trying to figure out a way to switch from home stereo to internal speakers without having to unplug the cable every time. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hello,
do you think i will be able to do it using the
optical output?
I don't know.
I edited my original post with a link to a program you could try.
Now, if that doesn't work, then I do have one other idea that just came to me.
You could get a USB audio output for your speakers. Now, with a USB audio output device, you would be able to change your audio output option using the "Sound" preference pane in the Mac OS X preference panel.
I think Griffin has a product for that.
So, that might be an option.
Hope this helps.

MB Pro has lost the Internal speaker option

Trying switch the sound output to use the internal speakers, the option to us internal speakers is the sound output menu, how do I get this back?

You've posted in the Mac Pro forum. You need to post your question in the MacBook Pro forum.
Sound preferences is used to switch the sound output.

HT1338 no audio, no internal speaker option

i have no audio, the only option i have is digital out

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
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.

Best.

No External Speaker Option.

I've had my Bose speakers for 3 years now. All of the sudden my iMac only has an internal speaker option.
The Bose only work through the headphone jack now. Thoughts?

well they do work with the audio out port (the "headphone" jack I spoke of). and that's how they've always worked (as it should.)
however the option now reads as:
( PREFS/SOUND/OUTPUT: HEADPHONES/HEADPHONES PORT)
Why doesn't it say EXTERNAL SPEAKERS like it used to, is my question. + I think the speakers sound worse. Maybe they are just finally going bad.
Oh yeah and Final Cut ALSO only has internal speaker playback option.
Tried the Audio MIDI before I decided to post this thread.
All devices are BUILT IN devices. Shouldn't there be an external output?
Anyway, thanks!

I lost my speaker. Sound preference doesn't offer Internal Speaker as an option. Help

AirBook working fine but when I rebooted when things got slow I no longer have sound. Sound icon is greyed out. When I go to system preference it says "no devices connected". It doesn't give me an option to select an internal speaker. Any suggestions. Craig in Indiana

Apple knows about-the permissions problem. they seem to have to do with foreign languages. Apple says to ignore them. Don't know why they don't send an update to fix it. If you have an install disk, you could boot from it and do disk repair. Might fix it, might not . But it won't hurt anything. You could also start up in safe mode. To do this, start up holding down the shift key. You will have to type in your password to continue. It take a little longer to boot this way and some thing are disabled. but it might also clear the problem, After you do this and if you can get to preferences-sound you might be able to uncheck mute. then close and boot up normally and see if it helped. It might not, since this is a test mode to see if something is corrupted or conflicting.

I recently used the computer for I player over the TV, but when removing the external speakers the internal speaker appears to have stopped working and when going on to system preferences and sound I am only given the option of digital out put. Help

Do you see a red light shining in the headphone port?

How does one reestablish no sound from either internal or external speakers in iMac 10.6.8?

All of a sudden I have no internal or external speaker output from my iMac 10.6.8. I've tried to reset permissions and rebooted computer with no effect. Can you help please? Vic

Repair permissions & restart.
Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.

Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).

=====================
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.

IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

Sound Output - Internal Speaker and Headphone Jack?

I just installed my new iMac, which replaced my Mac Mini. I hook my Mac to my stereo via the headphone jack for playing iTunes. But most of the time I don't have the stereo on.
is there a way to keep the headphone jack plugged in and still have audio come out the internal speaker? Basically send audio output to both the internal speaker and the headphone jack at the same time?
On the Mac Mini this wasn't an issue because I had a splitter that ran from the mini to my monitor speakers and to my stereo.
Thanks!

Hi, you can get the internals to give notice of emails & actions..externals for any other sound..
Sadly your wishes on this matter will not come to fruition...L

I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

I have a first edition mac mini and internal speaker are not enabled yet.. what can I do?

If you are using an HDMI connection, go to Apple / System Preferences / Sound and see if you can select the Built-In Speakers?
If you have headphones, buds or something plugged into the Audio Output jack, unplug it.
If not then perhaps the micro switch inside the Audio Output jack is stuck? In that case, try plugging and unplugging some headphones, buds or something in and out a few times to see if it will un-stick.
If it will not un-stick, then you will need to make an appointment for service.

Internal speaker doesn't work with mountain lion

my internal speaker doesn't work after installation of mountain lion

Hi,
Long shot, but...
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.
