My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers. When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay. How can I get internal speakers back.

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 your 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 not appear 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.

Very poor sound from internal speakers, very good on headphones.

Hi,
I hope you can give some advice.
New to all this so apologies if protocols are broken etc
New 20" imac, running Leopard.
very thin, tinny sound from internal speakers (similar to hearing someone's else's walkman
on the train). when I plug headphones in its great no probs.
Advice please! I don't want to send it back I'm halfway through my assignment.

I just realized I've never heard the internal speakers on my new iMac, I have always used good 2.1 speakers since I got my eMac years ago and the internals really sucked.
I was just curious, have you heard anybody elses built in iMac speakers and did they sound better than yours or the same? Maybe at the Apple Store?
I don't know, I just didn't know if they really improved them. Maybe other iMac users can chime in on internal speaker quality. The only reason I said all this was because you mentioned that headphones sound great, which is the same port that a set of external speakers would go.
Sorry to hear you had to send it back for that. Here's hoping you didn't have to send it in for what the speakers really do sound like.

No sound from internal speakers in HP Mini

i can't hear any sound from internal speakers although if i connect headphones or external speakers i can hear sound!

Hello @Landon3400 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your notebook only has sound, through your headphones.
Try updating the driver with the following download and tell me if it resolves the issue: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver.
Furthermore, check out this thread that has a lot of great suggestions for issues with no sound: Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time and this document for no sound in Windows 8: No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)
It would help to know which product and operating system you are using.
For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
I look forward to your reply!
Let me know if this helps!

Sound from internal speakers keeps coming and going.

My internal speakers aren't working consistently. One second I hear sound and then the next I hear nothing. I checked "System Preferences > Sound > Output" and can see that the selected device keeps randomly switching from Internal Speakers to Digital Out to Headphones. Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?
Thx

1. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
    Do this twice
2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

No sound from internal speakers or headphones when using ART Tube interface

Hi - can anyone help with this...
I have no sound fromthe internal speakers or headphones when using my new ART Tube USB interface - I get a nice loud recording level from the ART but cant monitor - in Logic 7.2
Audio hardware interface in logic 7.2 is set to USB Codec - just like the ART manual states
And the SOUND control panel is set to speakers/headphones
But no love...
Any comments welcomed
Si2

By default, OSX will only let you have one interface active at any one time - so if you specify the ART as your interface to get sound in, you don't have access to your regular interface to listen to it.
But there is a workaround - open the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, create a new "Aggregate Device", and add both your required audio interfaces to it.
Now, back in Logic, select the aggregate device you created as the audio device, and now all your inputs and outputs from both interfaces are available - the aggregate device acts as one big interface containing both your hardware interfaces.

No sound from internal speakers!What should I do?

I repaired the hard disk permissions, I resetted the PRAM, but no sound comes out from internal speakers. Is it a software or hardware trouble?
I use the last snow leopard

This is an article from Apple dealing with the issue.

Problem with sound from internal speakers

I have rescued an 867 hz TiBook from the trash heap. This machine was being discarded because it wouldn't wake up (just did this red, blue, yellow flashing thing, so it had to be restarted everytime it went to sleep) and because the internal speakers had stopped working. I took off the keyboard and flashed the pram, reset everything, wiped the hard drive and installed Leopard. This seems to have fixed the sleep issue but there is still no sound from the speakers.The headphone jack works fine, the built-in mic works and there IS an option for internals as the output in prefs, so it's not the headphone jack problem I've read about. I've searched and searched but I can't seem to find a solution that works... anyone have any ideas?

Hi Mr. Waters,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You may want to at least follow the wires back from the speakers and see that they're connected, but it's likely the sound card which is unfortunately soldered onto the logic board. If so, the repair would mean replacing the logic board, rather expensive and not easy. Still a nice find for free.

Sound from internal speakers on iMac not working

I've been having a recurring problem where the internal speakers constantly lose connection. When I go to sound preferences, the internal speakers disappear from the device list in the output tab. I've also noticed that plugging in my own headphones does not solve the problem, sound is still lost and regained. I have no idea what is causing this. I am currently working on the current software(Version10.9.4).

Here is one that worked for another user it may work for you

Re: internal speakers no soundin response to noondaywitch | This solved my question
Here's what worked for me. It's not a workaround, this acutally solved the problem and I haven't had speaker issues since.
Go to "Activity Monitor" (you can hold "Command" "Shift" and press "U" if you're on the desktop).
Locate "coreaudiod" under "All Processes"
Right click it and click on "Quit"
After several seconds, "coreaudiod" will restart on it's own and your speakers will return to normal.
I tested this by restarting to see if it was a fluke workaround. Then I turned it off and waited a day (I had things to do so the waiting a day was easy lol). Turned it on, it was fine. I put it on sleep mode, waited 10 mins. and took i off of sleep mode. It was fine. Everything went back to normal for me.
Let me know if this worked for you.
Good Luck and Cheers

Envy laptop confused about aux jack being plugged/unplugged; no sound from internal speakers

So I was typing all normal like, didn't do anything stupid or weird, but suddenly the music I was playing through my laptop's internal speakers just stopped.
And despite nothing being plugged in the auxiliary jack, the laptop thinks something IS plugged in and doesn't play sound through the internal speakers. So no sound at all.
And on the flip side, when I plug headphones in the aux jack, the laptop says that "You have just unplugged a device from the audio jack" but then plays normally through the headphones. Internal speakers still silent.
It's like the laptop suddenly got confused in whatever component registers the auxiliary connection, but I don't understand why it still plays through the headphones when it thinks there is nothing plugged in. And also why the internal speakers don't work AT ALL.
It has Beats Audio, if that helps at all. I tried restarting, messing around with the sound settings but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and anyways nothing has changed from that.
Anyways, yeah, help?
This is a pretty new laptop, only about a month old.

Hi @nematoda
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and tips.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you have lost sound on the internal speakers and when you connect headphones you get the message that you disconnected the device but then plays sound through the headphones.
Here is a link to No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8) that may help to overcome this issue.
If this has not been resolved I recommend contacting HP support for assistance as the notebook is only a month old.

No sound from internal speakers when headphones NOT inserted

Simultaneous sound: how to get sound from internal speakers and usb audio adapter

I have an iMac in my living room. It is hardwired to my home theater system in my family room. Currently, I can listen to audio in one location or the other... but not both. I bought a StarTech.com ICUSB Audio Adapter hoping that it would be a fix... not so much. Downloaded SoundSource... not so much
How can I get audio to play via my internal speakers and through my home theater system? Hosting a party this Saturday and would like multiple rooms filled with sound.

First pluging is headphones and then unplugging it. If yu can't get it fully inseted tham may indicate that end of a plug is broken off inside the jack.
Then if not above problem, try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
