No sound from jack

I have a Mac Mini and the sound has stopped working via the external jack. The internal speaker still produces sound, which mutes when you plug in a jack but nothing comes out of the jack. It worked until quite recently. Is this definitely a hardware problem or am I overlooking some software setting ?

Problem solved. You need to set sound preferences while jack plug is plugged in.

  • [SOLVED] No sound from JACK

    I recently set up jack2-dbus, and I haven't been able to get any sound output. Looking at qjackctl's connection's interface sheds some light on the issue. It looks like system is not a writable client. As of now, running any program which uses jack sends output to the PulseAudio Jack Source, which doesn't seem to be playing any audio. Is pulseaudio at fault here?

    Strange. I just restarted my computer today and now everything is working. The system entry appears in qjackctl's connections menu. Not sure what I did to fix it, but it seems like everything is in order.

  • How can I remove the background sound from the headphone jack for my MacBoo

    for my MacBook Air problem adding music intensifier (Panasonic ST-HT1000) to give it an unpleasant sound background that sounds like a whiz, it's not so loud, but it is an unpleasant .. after a short time can get used to, but the fizz does not pass, however, believe that it is a big problem.
    Further I notice that when MacBookAir disconnected from the charger, it remains quieter sound.
    At first thought that the headphone jack (3.5 mm Headphone:
    Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack) or wiere have problem, but tried 3 different cables, but that does change enything, the problem remains.
    When I added iPhonu3GS playing - the background sound were not, then everything is OK!

  • No sound from HP G62 laptop and can no longer get sound from speakers or headphone jack . USB sworks

    have an HP G62 laptop.  I can no longer receive sound from speakers or from headphone jack.  If I plug speakers into usb - I will get sound.  Any ideas?

    I don't think I have anything to offer that you haven't done. In Device Manager, Device status says "working properly" and you've reinstalled this driver.

    Right?
    The only other thing I know to do is restore the hard drive to its original factory fresh contents.

  • After attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

    after attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

    This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

  • No sound from audio jack and screen doesn't dim, using BootCamp 3.1 in Win7

    I'm using BootCamp 3.1 in Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
    When I plug in headphones I get no output sound; however, I do get sound from the main speakers (regardless of the headphones being connected or not). Side note, there is no red light coming from the audio jack.
    Another problem that I'm having: when I try to dim the display, using either F1 or F2, or from the BootCamp Control Panel in the Dim tab, it doesn't dim.
    I've saw in Apple's Support Download section that there is "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) (Windows 64 bit)", but as you can see it's "Mid 2010" and not "Mid 2009".
    However, for the sake of exhausting everything I can think of before posting here, I tried to download and install it. Only to get an error that states "The patch upgrade cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be updated may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be updated exists on your computer and that you have the correct update patch."
    Any suggestions?

  • TX2000 no sound from front headphone jacks

    Hi everyone, Ive started this because I have a major problem with my pavilion tx2000. it is not outputting any sound from the front headphone jacks, it was working okay on windows 7 64 bit but one good day without any aparent reason it stopped working I mean, I used to plug my headphones and immediatly the laptop speakers shout and I coud hear music from any of the two front headphone jacks but one day I did it and the speaker didnt shout and I couldnt hear anything from the headphones, assuming that the headphones were the problem I plugged another headphones that I knew were working fine with the same result.
    I was using windows 7 default drivers then I updated the drivers from the official realtek site (I thnk version R267) with no effect, then I installed linux and plugged the headphones, to my surprise audio were outputting from both, the laptop speakers and the headphones, after some configurations I managed linux to output audio only from the headphones but I have to change it manually if I wanted the laptop speakers to work, I then reinstalled windows 7 64 with the updated driivers from realtek, to my surprise realtek audio manager will pop up a message saying "you just plugged and audio device" BUT ONLY IF I PLUG SOMETHING TO THE MICROPHONE JACK!!!!! otherwise it won´t say anything even if I plug my headphones to any of the both headphone jacks, my assumption is that somehow the headphone jacks lost its sensibility and are not detectng the headphones and as so they wont route the audio signal through them, also Ive read on forums that I could change something in the realtek audio manager as "disable front audio jacks" or something but i can´t see that option anywhere in any of the various versions of drivers I´ve tried on the various OSes Ive tried, Also in some point I did notice a red ligth coming out from the first headphone jack, I assumed it was spidf signal or something.
    What im thiking is that this is hardware related, that somehow the jacks lost sensibility and cant detect my headphones, the question here is this: I dont mind routing the audio from the laptop speaker to the headphone jacks manually (I mean with some script or something), but is there any way to do so In windows, In linux I could but in windows I just cant seem too get it to work without windows detecting my headphones automatically, or do I have to change the whole front panel in my laptop, it is offcourse out of warranty and I don´t want to keep spending money on this as this is quite an old machine wich Ive invested way too much.
    THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE.

    NO sound from front headphone jacks.
    No hardware changes made.

    Oh and one more thing:
    In the Audio tab in Sounds and Audio Devices in Control Panel, it has this option of
    "Use only default devices"
    Is it OK to check that?
    Does that mean that if I choose Audigy 2 for the sound playback and etc. options, it would "lock" the default as Audigy 2?
    Because as I said, I don;t want to go back and forth switching from onboard to Audigy over and over.
    I just want Audigy as my sound, and be able to use the headphone jack on the front bevel of my computer.

  • No sound from front or read audio jack

    I am using an 810-230qe Phoenix Envy with WIndows 8.1 Pro. I am unable to hear sound from the front headphone jack or the rear audio jack. Speakers also do not work from the rear jack. I have an HDMI cable connected to my monitor, however, I went into the NVIDA controls and disabled sound for that. 
    I have uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled. No luck with either jack. Headphones work in all other devices. I have even tried different headphones. This is a new computer, just a few days old and this is the first time I tried to use sound. 
    Any ideas?

    Hello aloehnert,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having audio issues on your HP ENVY Phoenix 810-230qe CTO Desktop PC. You stated that you disabled the audio on your monitor does that mean it worked before you disabled it? Has the audio ever worked on this and is just not working now? If you go to the control panel and click on Sounds what devices do you see there and are they Enabled or Disabled?
    If you could answer these questions it would help a great deal in getting you  a possible solution. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • No sound from audio speaker or headphone jack

    Hello all i bought a HP Probook 4535s from a friend and im not getting any sound from the speakers or headphone jacks. I have flashed the BIOS to the F.41 and this didin't fix the problem. I also deactivated speakers in the BIO settings and re enabled them and this still didn't fix the job. I also replaced the speakers themselfs. Any ideas would be appriciated Thanks

    Hi @cblake118 ,
    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can click here for the link.

  • No Sound From Headphone Jack, Only Internal Speakers working in Macbook Pro A1278

    Hello, the internal speakers of Macbook Pro A1278 OSX 10.7.5 are working perfectly, but no sound from headphones or external speakers when plugged in. Headphones/speakers recognized when plugged in, shown by System Preferences/Sound, and since the sound stops from internal speakers when headphones/speakers are plugged in. No red light seen coming from headphone jack, as I read in other posts. The problem began after a cable was connected between computer and stereo system. Maybe overloaded the sound card and burned out a connection? Wondering if you think that the sound card needs to be replaced or is there another solution possible? Thank you.

    Hello JohnBoarkman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you hear no sound from your accessory when you connect to your headphone jack. My first troubleshooting suggestion for this situation would be resetting the NVRAM on your Mac. Please use the instructions in the attached article to complete this process and let me know if the issue continues.

  • Terrible, tinny sound from headphone jack. Satellite

    I've looked at all the settings I could find, but the sound from iTunes, out the headphone jack, to a small stereo is horribly tinny. I can plug the exact same wire into my phone which has great sound, so it's sth about the sound card ,not the rest of my system. I am not talking about the speakers

  • No sound from internal speakers, red glowing light in headphone jack

    Okay. Have seen a few posts on this topic, but scattered symptoms, resolutions and ideas. Here is my timeline and plan:
    My speakers went out spontaneously running 10.4.5 when I switched to battery power. We had a blackout here in L.A. and I was trying to play a DVD for the kids- no internal speaker sound.
    * There is a red light glowing from the headphone jack. Never noticed this before, it seems to be a sign associated with the problem.
    * External speakers/headphones work fine.
    * Absolutely no sound from any app, alert or startup unless something (speakers/headphones)external is plugged in.
    * if nothing is plugged in, the slider volume control in the menu bar is greyed out at full volume. Sound pref panel only shows "digital out" as choice, but is greyed out. "Built-in speakers" is absent as a choice.
    What I've tried:
    Select/deselect "look for spekaers" option in iTunes.
    Update to 10.4.7
    Update all listed apps to latest in Software update (iTunes, QT, etc.)
    Trash sound prefs
    Zap PRAM
    Clean install from OEM DVD
    Restore System from previous backup (although last backup may have been corrupt because I may not have noticed the problem for a while.)
    That's about it.
    My plan: Take PB to genius bar today and see what they say.
    I'll report back what they say.

    I have had the same syptoms as the above people in my PowerBook and was hating life without sound. i got to thinking about what earlier people had posted and concluded it could not be a software problem, that it had to be a hardware problem. I thought, maybe the headphone jack was just dirty, you know, plugging headphones/speakers in and out of the computer many times, it could have just gotten dirty. If I just clean it with rubbing alcohol, maybe that will do the trick. It did! I have been going two days and am doing great!
    THE BOTTOMLINE!
    Clean the headphone jack out! I used a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. (I have found that making my own q-tip with a toothpick and a small amount of cotton works better because it is thinner than the stick for a q-tip. Just twist the cotton to the edge of the toothpick.)
    For all you people out there who try this and it works for you post for other people so they can be more confident that it does work.
