No sound from speakers after 10.4.4 update

After doing all the latest updates I'm not getting any sound from the speakers on my powerbook. I can stream music, or listen to sound on my headphones, but not from the speakers. Any ideas?

If you did your update through the software update function, some have found that applying the combo update, which has to be downloaded from Apple, fixes things. Apparently the updates done through the software update function don't always update everything they should, where the combo update is a more thorough update.
You can find the 10.4.4 combo update at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1044combo.html and the current 10.4.5 combo update is at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdate1045combo.html

Dell E6520 IDT 92HD90BXX - no sound from speakers after update

After recent kernel upgrade speakers in my laptop stopped working (only headphones output works).
I had been using ALSA.
I switched to OSS to bring the speakers back and it works.
I'm fine with OSS unless all of my apps recognize and work with it flawlessly.
(Internal mic however works neither with ALSA nor with OSS :-( )
Searching the net I found that it's an overall problem with this piece of hardware. (UBUNTU bug-reports)
I need the mic so where should I start poking. (Tried everything in alsamixer)
When I try to record sound I can hear only slight noise.
Maybe the driver doesn't support internal mic or assumes it's a line-in?
Why did it stop working with ALSA?
On reporting a bug what data should I provide?

try repairing permissions, restsrt and "fiddle" with
settings in sound prefs
What do you mean by "fiddle"? I uplugged my Apple Pro speakers last week so I could boot my computer without waking up everyone - it was early. When I plugged them back in they are not recognized. I tried zapping and some of the other suggestions I've seen here but nothing works.

HT4623 Hi I have just updated ipad to latest software and since then I can't get any sound from speakers only ear socket or FaceTime works fine any ideas thanks Mark

NO sound from speakers after update only headphone jack works, speakers work on FaceTime
many thanks Mark

Reboot the iPad and see if that helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hi @satyakam
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are enjoying your sound from everything today. I am happy to help.
If you have a sound application installed along with your sound driver, then I would check the settings for the speakers and headphone in that application.
Then I would make your headphone the default device when it is plugged in.
To make headphone as the default device
1.    Click on Start; Go to Control Panel.
2.    Click on Sound.
3.    Switch to Recording.
4.    Select your microphone/headset as the default device.
5.    Save the changes by clicking on OK.
Also you can Uninstall and re-install your audio device drivers, to do that:
1.    Click on Start; in the start search type “devmgmt.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
2.    Expand Sound, Video and Game controllers.
3.    Right click on the audio component and then click uninstall.
With the driver uninstalled then download and re-install the driver from:
HP Pavilion g4-1121tx Notebook PC Drivers
Just be sure to select the correct operating system from the drop down, and click next, which will refresh the list of drivers below.
Let me know if that helped at all.

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 sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us. Speakers are not muted and volume is up. May have happened after a system update

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

A1000L IdeaPad No Audio Sound from Speakers

Our IdeaPad A1000L was working great for a while, but now it will not produce sound from the speakers. At first I assumed I somehow had it set to silent even though the volume bar was all the way up. I reset all my audio settings. Then I realized the audio works fine from headphones. I did a full reset on the tablet, and still no sound from speakers -- only from headphones. I have read a similar thread where it was suggested that this might be caused by damage to the headphone port, but I rarely use headphones, and don't think I'd ever used them before with this device. Still, I tried jiggling the headphone thing around in there like suggested and it's still not working. When I look in there with a flashlight, it looks exactly like the inside of the headphone port on our other IdeaPad. Is there anything else I can check/try before taking it in for service?

Hello rkrohatgi,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing and the troubleshooting steps you have already taken. It sounds like you are seeing a screen similar to this when trying to adjust the volume:
I recommend the following steps for an issue like this (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Clicking sound from speakers!

I have problem with sound but this is strange one and i can't find solution anywhere... I am pretty good with computers and i usualy find solutions on internet when i have problem but this is something i can't solve by myself... My laptop is HP 355 G2 and i have Windows 10 installed on it but the same problem was on Windows 8.1 too... So after clean installation of Win10 the sound was good and worked normaly for 2-3 days and now i only hear a clicking sound from speakers when audio is playing but the strange thing is that when i pick up laptop from the table the sound start to work for few seconds and then the clicking sound comes back again, so i suspect that this has something to do with accelerometer which is built in laptop for hard disc parking in case of drop or something like that... I tryed to uninstal/disable driver for accelerometer but windows install it again emidiatly after reboot, i tryed clean install few times and problem apears again and again... I just don't know anymore what to try to do in order to solve this so if anyone know anything about this please help... And i forgot to say that headphone jack work normaly and when i plug the headphones or external speakers in headphones jack the sound works but the clicking sound still comes out from built in speakers... Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it is not my native language and there is no support forums on my native language witch is Serbian...

Suddenly no sound from speakers and only from headphones

Hello,
I have a HP 8440p VQ664ET#ABU Elitebook laptop running Windows7 64bit pro.
Since today I'm experiencing the following problem:
1) no sound is heard through speakers when headphones are disconnected.
2) If I connect the headphones, the sounds are heard correctly through them: this is the expected behavior
I don't think it's a speakers hardware problem because I can make the speakers play sounds for one or two seconds like this: while a sound is being played, such as music file for instance, if I move up and down the headset volume cursor (regardless if headphones are connected or not) I can hear the played sound through the laptop speakers for a few seconds, after which the speakers mute again.
So to summarize:
1) Headphones disconnected: no sound from speakers
2) Headphones connected: sound from headphones
I rebooted, suspended and restored without any luck so far.
I'm under the impression that there might be a problem with the headphone jack: it is like the laptop always thinks that the headphones are connected and therefore cuts the output to the speakers.
Any clues?
Thanks
Sergio

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.
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows XP
Right?
The only other thing I know to do is restore the hard drive to its original factory fresh contents.

Audigy 2 zs - moved pc from one room to another and now no sound from speakers (headphones

As the title says,
I just completed moving my pc from one room to another. Low and behold I get no sound from speakers (just some stereo speakers with powered sub). I do get audio out of the headphones (fully disconnect headphones from front panel when attempting to get sound from speakers). I know this probably points to a faulty speaker setup but that's pretty straight forward and looks to be fine.
Anyone encounter this problem before or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mr. Jefferson, Thanks for the quick response!
A mystery! Usually, it's easiest to have FiOS patched into your home's cable TV wiring, so I'm curious why you don't have a coax router that provides you with the ethernet (internet) jacks. Some questions:
Do you watch TV from some other source (like satellite or cable TV) but are using FiOS only for Internet?
I have both fios tv and internet
You said 2 cables are going from your router to a box in the wall. What are the 2 ports labeled on the router?
One of them is just the main "internet" port I guess you could say while the other is just one of the ports labeled 1-4 (plugged into #2 I believe)
Is there any labeling on the jacks on the wall box? On the other box in your room?
On the wall box in this room theres labeling on the jacks on the wall box that says IN and OUT (in marker), while in my room there's the same box but with only ONE, unlabeled jack (I think there's supposed to be another jack but it seems to be closed/sealed off)
Do you know where the Internet jacks connect to? Like a patch panel or box somewhere in your garage or near where your FiOS/cable tv/phone service is? Somewhere these cables have to terminate.
I believe they somehow connect to this box in my garage (did some research and I believe it's called the ONT? and there's another box below it which I believe is the battery)
Hope this info helps!

No sound from tv after laptop connected (G60)

Hi
It is no sound from TV, after i connecting my laptop to tv through hdmi cable on hdmi port 1.
However, the image looks ok.
I open the sound control panel, see NIVDIA HDMI OUTPUT SEEMS WORKING, (SET DEFAULT), BUT THE VOLUME IS VERY LOW, AND NO TEST SOUND COMING OUT FROM TV EITHER.
I tried to set up the audio system in NIVDIA control panle under VIDEO AND TV as instruction in HELP of NIVDIA help manual. But i just cannot find the audio system set up.
anyone can help on this,
Very appreciated!
Tnx

Try this, it works on my PC:
Connect HDMI cable to TV.
In the Control Panel, select "Sound" by double-clicking it.
Click the "Playback" tab and look for an icon for your television.
Highlight the TV icon and then select "Set Default". A green checkmark should appear on the TV icon.
You should now hear sound from the TV when your HDMI cable is connected, and sound from your PC when the cable is not connected.
