No sound from Mail or iChat after 10.4.4?

So I think the 10.4.4 update broke sound output from Mail and iChat. iTunes works, Adium works, anything else that plays sounds works, except Mail and iChat. Strange thing is, I can go into Mail and change the new mail sound and as I click through the sounds from the menu, I can hear them play, but I don't hear the sound when I receive a new message! Same with iChat; I can change the sounds in the preferences and actually hear them, but they don't play when the application events are supposed to trigger those sounds.
BTW: This is using internal speakers only.. I don't have external speakers.
Anyone have any ideas?
I tried to search but I didn't come up with anything definitive.

This magically fixed itself

No sound from speakers, only subwoofer after restore to factory

I recently restored an HP pavilion dv7 back to factory settings using the built in hp restore. When it came back, sound will only play through the subwoofer. When I do sound tests, I hear both channels play, but they play through the one "triple bass reflex subwoofer" on the bottom of the laptop. Nothing coming from the two speakers in the front at all.
I have uninstalled the IDT drivers multiple times using the current drivers, the original drivers in the swsetup folder and many drivers in between from HP's ftp site. No luck. I'm pretty much out of ideas. It's clearly a software or driver issue as they worked before the reset but I have no idea what else can be done about it.
HP tone control is installed, the beats audio panel is visible, IDT audio shows up in appwiz. Ive seen a few forum posts about this same issue but nothing that ever seemed to get resolved.
Any ideas? I've included some screen shots of what I'm seeing

Hi @etainw ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7-4000 Notebook and issues with no sound from speakers, only subwoofer after restore to factory. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Subwoofer on Beats Notebooks. On the Enhancements tab, select the Bass Boost option, and verify the device driver is Enabled, this should help.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.
Thanks.

No audio or sound from my ipad mini after update or any apps used? What should i do please help?

my problem is i can't hear the sounds from my ipad especially when i am playing a music or video from youtube or any game up. This happen after an update? I thought it was just an auto silent mode but unfortunately the volume limit is on full and there is no head phones attached. Please help me enable the sounds of my ipad.

Is it all browsers that you are having problems with, or is just Safari (and I assume that your last post means that other apps are ok) ?
If only Safari then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear History And Website Data (Clear Cookies And Data on iOS 5, 6, 7 and also Clear History)
Close Safari via the iPad's taskbar (I'm assuming that your iPad is on iOS 7+) : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
And do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And then retry playing the videos.

Ipad 2 has no sound from built-in speaker after one day.

I received by ipad 2 yesterday and I had sound out from the built-in speaker when using facetime and
youtube.
When I turned on my ipad2 today, there are no sound from the built-in speaker. I checked the switch in
"settings" and it is set to "lock rotation" instead of "mute". So I am pretty sure my ipad2 is not
muted in the first place, using the volume locker and the volume icon shows "headphones" but
I do not have the headphones plugged in. However I got sound when I plugged in the headphones,
unplugged them and I got no sound from the built-in speakers again.
I have a 32G wifi+3G (The 3G is not enable yet) and the latest verion of iOS

Hi,
You can reset your iPad by pressing and holding the On/Off/Wake/Sleep button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If it doesn't work, you can restore your iPad using iTunes by connecting it to your computer.

Text feedback (instead of sound) from Mail

I prefer to work with the sound off. Is it possible to make Mail to give me text feedback instead of those sounds. Like "No new messages on server". Or "Could not connect to server"? Like most of mail clients are used to do...

I have been using that facility as my "Sent Mail" no longer gives a whoosh, _which I miss_, and the Mail Activity feature at the bottom of the sidebar does not give any information on sending either.
To add to my suspicion that my Mail application may be losing its integrity, I have had the experience of late of getting "Error. Message could not be appended to the Outbox." this is intermittent and clears with restarting the Mac/Mail or both.
Repairing disk permissions with Disk utility and running Disk Warrior and Tech Tool pro has had no effect , neither did a particularly cheeky trashing of my apple.mail.plist. Further than that I have no wish to go without detailed instructions!!
The same application works without these problems on my alternative firewire Start up disk and also whenever I create a "Guest" account. I've obviously managed to damage this application all on my own.
Things got a bit fraught after the last 10.5.5 and Security Update (Accounts greyed out etc.,) following which I moved my AIM Yahoo and Gmail out of Mail and I access them, better, from their own sites on-line.
I wonder if they took something with them which should have been left behind.
I just have mac Mail and my ISP mail in the Mail application at present.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

How can I get my sound from Flash CC into After Effects?

I have been using Flash to animate for years. I have upgraded from Flash 8 to Flash CC. I had been animating and then exporting the video part, (swf.), and sound (wav) separately, and then bringing them into After Effects already as synced files.
That option is no longer available in Flash CC. What can I do? (I am really considering Toon Boom after this project).

Haven't tried this, but you should be able to export a video file containing only the sound track from within Flash. Just turn off all the other layers. Also, although you are probably aware of this, Adobe claims that Flash CC now exports video without the bugs that plagued earlier versions. Then you should move to Toon Boom, it has its own headaches, but at least it's a real animation program.

No sound from front headphone jack after SoundBlaster installat

Hi everyone, I recently bought a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value PCI Sound Card.
I installed it as normal as any other PCI card. I disabled onboard sound in BIOS. I installed all the Creative software and drivers, and the sound is working...but only from the sound card at the back of the PC.
I have on my Dell 4550,at the front of the PC tower: 2 USB ports (which still work), and a headphone jack, which doesn't work.
The headphone jack at the front used to work before I instlaled the Audigy 2 card, but now, after the installation, it doens't work.
Does anyone have a solution to this or an explanation as to why it is behaving like this?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Michael

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 the 'Music' app after upgrading to iOS 5

After upgrading to iOS 5 I went to play music in the new 'Music' App. However, no sound came from the iphone (3gS) athough the songs continued to play. Has anyone encountered this issue and how have you resolved it. I thank you for responding to my question.

Hi Guys,
I have post eariler on another forum and I have the same problem, I have tried all the things listed here and nothing was perminant in fixing this painful iphone hating problem.... and failed. You probably have the problem when you use youtube or your music external speaker that there is no volume bar and no sound.   I have had the same problem But I need to happily say that I now have the fix!!!! This worked for me and I fixed it by myself so you don't need to go to apple or service centre or anything.
Ok I like so many of you here truly believed this was as IO5 issue as it only dropped the sound on the speakers once that IO5 update came along. I tried a bunch of reset, reboots, home clicks, lock and unlocks, to fix this and all failed. some worked for an hour but then failed. hours of my life that I will never get back.   but since I have learnt this is not a IO5 problem but a hardware issue! ... and in paticualar is has to do with your bottom connection. Your phone is thinking it is docked all the time.
To fix the no sound problem what you need is...
1. a torch
2. a tooth brush
3. methalated spirits
4. a butter knife
Step 1.
get your torch and shine it down the bottom connection plate to see what kind of dust, sand, hair or anything you have stuck in there.   all that need to be removed! everything! it might look clean but still thats ok go to step 2.
step 2.
Turn on your music app and put the speakers on! If your phone is like mine it should not work. you most probably don't even have the volume display to turn it on but its ok, just do it! and it should still play with no sound.   its important you try and run the speakers as this will show you that it is a hardware problem.
step 3.
Dip your tooth brush into some methated sprits.   then at your sink tap the exess metho out of your brush as you just want the brushes to be slightly damp, not soaking wet and then scrub the bottom connetiors on your iphone. work the brush back and forward in a way that scoops the dirt out of the phone, not just pushing it side to side.
(As you bushing you should notice the volume bar come back on or off as you scub.   This happened to me and that is how I realised I was on the right track to fixing this problem as I was doing something external that was actually controling when the volume display came on or off.   but once I cleaned it this still didn't fix the problem...)
Step 4.
Use the back side of a butter knife (not the sharp side) to gently slide over the connectors on the iphone. Do this gently as you are only pushing down on the tiny metal contect bars and you should notice the volume display come on again. slide it back and forward. Now the area of interest is about 2/3 along the connection plate to the right.   This is the area that has the infomation sent when your iphone thinks its docked.
This has worked for me and I have not had a problem since I did this 2 weeks ago.   I have since learnt that the new IOS 5 has activated a different part of the bottom conectors. if you have been using dodgy connectors or unapproved apple cables (as I was) any damage or hair and dirt on the terminal this is effecting it. Try it.   just remember if you can do something external to your phone then there lies the problem.
Hope this works for your phone as it did for mine.
Cheers

No sound from Mail ?

Hi
My mail app have stopped to play the "got mail" sound !?!
Everything else works. Dvd, internet, itunes and so on. It´s just mail who does not play any sound anymore ?
when I got to preferences and choose my sound it plays but not when I get a mail ??
Something I haven´t thought about yet ??
Please let me know
G5 2x2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) 4Gb RAM

I had the exact same thing and spent a lot of time with tech support about it. This is going to sound odd, but I (at least think ) have solved the problem by turning up the vollume! By the way, this is as of 5 minutes ago, and I just now decided to kill some time browsing support forums. (Is a bad habit...)
Look around under the Sound preferences section under
the blue apple logo, then System Preference then Sound (Its the second row, last column of the little icons there). Just set the sliders for sound output volume higher than they are now and at least try that.
I was looking at an operating system restore with backup and recover before I "gave it one last try".
Good luck

How can I recover my Notes from mail in Leopard after updating to Mountain Lion?

I had Snow Leoppard and I used to save so many notes in "mail". When I switched to Mountain Lion, it seems all notes are disappeared. I can get the notes from my iphone and ipad, but not the ones in my "mail". I appreciate if you help me, since those notes were crucial for me.
Best,
P.S.

T410 random beep sound( from machine for less than 5 mins) + screen freeze + Blue Screen (some time)

I have new purchased T410 during christmas time.
here is my machine spec(everything from Levono, did not upgrade any parts):
T410, model 2516CTO
8 GB RAM
i7 CPU
500GB HDD
Integried graphic card
Windows 7 professional (applied all latest updates)
Problem random happen, for about 8 times,
System works regularly
and all of sudden machine make continousely "beep" sound(from machine, not speaker),
after that screen freeze,
and then sometime system go back to normal, sometime crash completely to blue screen(most time).
The whole problem takes about 3-5 mins.
1 time it even happen in safe mode (after log in, desktop freezed immediately, then blue screen).
I chkdsk the whole disk found no problem.
I call Lenovo tech support, he ask me restore the original OS(Windows 7 home prim), then he can help me.
I refused because that's mean i have to destroy all the work I done (spend almost a week to install development tools and software) .
Since the problem is random anyway, I just reboot and bakeup more offen. :-(
I used Thinkpad since IBM time, never have problem with previous 2 T Series machines, but this one, not happy.

No sound from iChat

I have no sound coming from iChat. No sound when I sign on, get IMed, send a message or anything. I've already checked the settings and there all checked to make sound. And no my computer isn't muted. What's going on here?
--Thanks

Ben, your link does not seem to work for me.
Also, I have been experiencing this same problem concerning system alert sounds. While music plays, I am unable to hear sounds from iChat, mail, or system sounds like folder movements or the trashcan. I can hear music and other audio files as well as alert sounds from iChat in the alert menu.
So far I have done the following in this order:
Checked the iChat preferences and turned off and back on all the alert sounds.
Checked the Sound preferences and turned the alert sounds volume to maximum.
Quit and restarted iChat more than once.
Killed coreaudiod in Terminal using "sudo kill 35" after getting the process number form the activity monitor.
NONE of these have been successful. Furthermore, after killing coreaudio, when I rebooted a small square with an earth in it blinked on my screen for a fairly long duration (30, 45 seconds?) before the normal startup processes began. I can see coreaudio running again in the Activity Monitor. I just tried force quitting it through the Activity Monitor, but my sounds are still missing.
Is there another solution for me to try? And what about this blinking globe? I am hesitant to try further UNIX commands for fear of not knowing how to undo my actions. I am about to reboot a second time to see if the globe occurs again, and I will update. Any new advice would be welcomed.

Mail and iChat don't launch after Software Update

Since updating the DST updates and Quicktime and Security 2007-002 updates, Mail and iChat do not launch. The icon bounces once in the dock; that's it.
I have repaired permission and checked the disc using Disc Utility from the OS X Install disc.
I also notice that Software Update 2007-002 remains in my list of updates to download and install. But I did it. And when I try to do it again, the install process stops immeately after it starts and the install app quits.

OK Jeremy, this may help or may not, but it will do no harm.
Power down both DSL and Airport, and your Mac (or at least log out).
Wait about one minute, power up DSL, let it pass some configuration routine (may take another minute or so), power up Airport, wait another minute and fire up the old Mac.
Open chat and mail, put it to sleep and wake it up again.
Did this improve things?

After upgrading to yosemite my macbook pro late 2011 does a random sound from time to time.

After upgrading to yosemite my macbook pro late 2011 does a random sound from time to time. Its completely random and i already checked all apps in use and its not from them.

Sounds like Notifications app.
Maybe some other app. In SystemPreferences->Users&Groups->LoginItems tab: remove all entries with the minus sign underneath. This will not uninstall anything, you have to start those apps by hand now. Restart.
Still there?
Yes: Restart again while holding the shift key, this will start the mac in SafeMode: only the necessary items are loaded to run.
Still there?
Yes: Make an etrecheck list and post it here.
No: Restart, put the items in the LoginItems back, one by one, restart after each entry, and you will find the "culprit"
Please report accordingly. I will be back in 24 hours.

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

No sound from Mail or iChat after 10.4.4?
