No internal speaker selection

My audio has stopped working and I have no internal speaker selection. I've tried resetting PRAM, restarting computer, but nothing works.
My selections are "Wondershare Audio Device", M-Audio Micro (unsure what this option is) and Airplay.
I can select Airplay and hear my computer through my TV.
How can I get the internal speakers as a selection on my sound output again?

As suggested by BDAqua, there is a micro switch inside the output that might be stuck and that is why there is no sound going to the internal speakers.
Try plugging and upplugging a 3.5mm mini plug in and out of your Audio Output port a few times, to see if it will reset the micro switch to and return Audio to the Internal Speakers.

After selecting Line Out in preferences the next boot sends sound to internal speaker

How can I get Line Out to to stay as default audio out preference?

I have a very similar problem that occurs to my computer where I will return to my computer after it has gone to sleep, and sound controls do not work. All systems tones come from the internal speaker, as well. After doing a Google search, I came up with an AppleScript to make it change to the internal speaker, then go back to the line out. The script works with the default listings in the sound preferences panel, but you should be able to change it to whatever is listed in your Sound preferences pretty easily. To do it, go to Applications, Utilities, AppleScript Editor. Once there, paste in the code below into the top box. Then do a file, save as. I would change the File Format to Application and save it on your desktop. You could create then a shortcut in your dock to launch it whenever sound is not working right. The script follows this (copy it all from the first tell to the quit):
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
get properties
tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "Sound" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 2
set theRows to every row of table 1 of scroll area 1 of ¬
tab group 1 of window "sound"
set theOutputs to {} as list
repeat with aRow in theRows
if (value of text field 1 of aRow as text) ¬
is equal to "Internal Speakers" then
set selected of aRow to true
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Events"
get properties
tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "Sound" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 2
set theRows to every row of table 1 of scroll area 1 of ¬
tab group 1 of window "sound"
set theOutputs to {} as list
repeat with aRow in theRows
if (value of text field 1 of aRow as text) ¬
is equal to "Line Out" then
set selected of aRow to true
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit

I want sound to go to line out but each new boot it selects internal speaker

I select sound to go to line out but with each new boot it reverts internal speaker. How can I "save" my sound preference??

Hi Del.
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

My internal speaker no longer shows as an output option; has anyone experienced this?

Sound on MacBookPro stopped on internal speaker and when using earphones

Sound on MacBookPro stopped on internal speaker and when using earphones. I re-booted and tried again. No luck.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do notappear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

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.

No sound from headphone or internal speaker

I have an iPad 4th gen, there is no sound from the internal speaker, nor from the headphone jack. I've swapped all parts in the ipad and another motherboard works, but this one is obviously stuck in some mode I can't really explain. When I volume up or down while on the home screen, it shows volume up and down fine, but I think it should show ringer up and down. I plugged in headphones, and unplugged them, and it gets stuck thinking headphones are plugged in, but there is no sound from the headphones. Youtube videos do not play, they appear to start playing but they ultimately just sit there and never play. Itunes store sample music does not play either. I click on the song I want to play a sample of and the play/pause effect of the sample graphic flashes and nothing happens, like I never hit play. I've tried airplay to my apple tv, and when I select apple tv from the bottom swipe up menu, it goes right back to the ipad, it will not try to air play. This is a very strange situation and I'd like any help I can get. I've reset all settings, upgraded ios to the latest, cleaned out the headphone port, swapped the main headphone/camera/mic/volume button cables with working ones, I've changed the internal speaker with a working speaker...I'm stuck.

Hi,
As you mentioned, the HDMI sound may take over sound, disable HDMI sound may help. Pleae try:
Right click the speaker icon
Select Playback devices
Right click HDMI sound and disable it

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.

Dv6 - StarCraft II on Internal Speaker & Music Playlist on Headphone Jack at the same time?

OS: Windows 7 64-Bit (6.1, Build 7601)

Intel Core i7-2670QM

I am playing music from Firefox, Internet Explorer or Chrome - music comes out nice on internal speakers OR headphone jack (connected to speakers or headphones).
I am also playing Starcraft II, the Audio is also awesome on eather headphone jack or internal speakers.
So far I can get Starcraft II to play on headphone output only and my music on the internal speakers, but not the other way around.
For this instance I'd like the in game Audio to play on my Laptop Speakers Only and my Music to play on Headphone (external analog speaker) Output only.
Please advise.
Also, I must figure out how to play both Headphone output and Internal Speakers to play together.
My ASUS Notebook PC has an Audio Console that allows me to designate which programs play with headphone output and/or internal speaker but my HP notebook does not have that.
Please help! :/

it seems that m1r3k found a very good workaround, at least for the Mid 2010 Mac mini models (that I'm using right now). I don't know if it works also with more recent Mac mini models.
Re: After upgrading to lion, cant select HDMI sound setting
Open Audio MIDI Setup.app in /Applications/Utility, click the + (plus) button in the bottom left corner of the window and choose "Create Multi-Output Device". In the new device settings tick the HDMI "Use" checkbox and you're done. Simply go to the usual System Preferences Audio panel and choose the newly created device, without the need to unplug the audio cable from the back of the Mac mini. You can also name the new audio device as you want.
NOTE:
This is only a workaround for a deliberate choice made by Apple on OS X Lion 10.7.2 and beyond:
Mac mini: About HDMI audio and headphones
Please let Apple know (here or here) how this has made things unnecessary awkward for users and needs to be fixed (these forums don't count, they are not read by Apple's employees)!

Internal speaker just stopped working

Hello,
after ot stoped working, I went to System Prefs, Sound. internal speaker is no longer an output option. oh boy.

See if this helps,
Open Activity Monitor (in Utilities)
Select "All Processes" from the drop-down list at the top
Click on the process called "coreaudiod"
Click on "Quit Process"
Click "Force Quit"
It will go away and come back again, and the sound should start working. No need to reboot.

Light beep or squeek from internal speaker

I have a new H8 1417C desktop computer. (about 2 months old) The computer makes an intermitant squeek. I say squeek because it is not a full beep like an error code. It makes the noise intermitantly. I can not make the noise happen. Sometimes the computer is idle with no one even in the room and it will make the noise. It appears to come from the computers internal speaker.
Other than that the computer works fine. Boots up fine, everything works. but the beep (squeek) is starting to get on my nerves.
Any suggestions?

Try the following steps.
1. Open up device manager.
2. Locate your audio driver.
3. Right click and uninstall the driver.
4. Go to the toolbar in device manager and select "scan for hardware changes."
5. After it completes, reboot the computer.
Try the audio now and let me know if it continues to have the same issue.

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.
