No sound other than alarm works . Says headphones plugged in

today suddenly the sound stopped working through my speakers. If i hit put headphones in, it works, but taking them out , i get no sound. I push the volume buttons and it says "headphones" like they are still in, but they aren't. what could be causing this? ive tried poking around in the headphone hole to see if something in there but nothing seems to be working
i do not have applecare, but i think its technically still under warrenty. would apple fix this for free?

If still within 1 year Warranty, yes. Blow out headphone jack with compressed air. Plug and unplug headphones several times, try to clean out the jack.

No sound other than MIDI files

it appears that only MIDI files will play on my system. we have not updated anything in the last week and the sound just quit other than MIDI files. we are running XP on a HP M7067c desk top.
any help please!

Hi confused1nca,
It's possible that Windows Update installed some updates while you were sleeping
You may want to reinstall your sound drivers or install an updated driver. Here is the latest audio driver for your PC from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-29786-2&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...
See if installing that helps and let us know how it goes.

TS2771 I can only hear sounds from my ipod touch with headphones plugged in.

I am only able to hear any sounds/music from my iTouch with the headphones plugged in to it. I have the change with buttons selected to "on". Am I missing something else?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Built-In Mic not working when Headphones plugged in?

I'm currently using the 13 inch Macbook Pro with the latest software. I noticed just today that the built-in microphone that comes with the laptop will not work when I plug in my headphones. However, as soon as I remove them, they resume working.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Use headphones that also have a microphone.

My sound says I have headphones plugged into my iPad, when I don't. Also sound only works with headphones plugged in

I have tried turning my iPad on and off (3 times!!!), I have tried cleaning the headphone thing (where it's plugged in), and I have tried plugging in and unplugging my headphones. Please help me I am frustrated

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

My iPod touch (3rd gen) isn't putting out sound other than static and high pitched noises through the tv hookup, the built in speakers, and headphones. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

No sound other than sta

Does this mean my soundcard is dead? I was working with my computer and I have the latest vista drivers installed. The sound was working while gaming or listening to music. I shut the computer down and went to bed. I turned it on this morning and when windows boots, all I get is static and no other sound.

Hi ElAguila,
It would help if you would post up the model of your sound card and what other troubleshooting steps you have tried.
Disconnect your speakers and connect a pair of headphones to the Line Out of the sound card. Are you getting static from the headphones?
This article may help.

My sound output won't work and headphone port is possibly broken

my laptop has been fine all day and now for some reason the sound output doesnt work. i believe the input does because in system preferences it seemed to pick up my voice. my volume is turned all the way up in every place i can think of and there's nothing. also there's a chance that my headphone jack might be broken but i can't tell because the sound isn't working regularly. please if anyone can help i would appreciate it! thanks!

No sound other than directly from built-in mic.

Hello there!
I've got a problem... I'm using Arch with GNOME 3 and I have a weird problem. My sound is gone. alsamixer doesn't affect the sound at all and Gnome's volume manager (or whatever it's called) doesnt have any sound output (only Dummy - or something similiar, I'm translating from polish interface). But I hear my mic (very loud). I don't even know where to start diagnosing this problem and would be very, very grateful If you'd help me or just point me out the right direction.
Cheers!

Alsamixer at HDA Intel said, that there are no controls for this device. And as I've mentioned before... everything used to work, and it was possible to 'tune' levels in alsamixer.
It turned out, that I've got a second laptop (both Toshiba Satellite) which has the same problem. Sound used to work, but now it's gone. Even alsaconf said, there are no sound cards in there. I've found a similiar (quite) problem in here:

Database software other than Apple works

When I got my first Apple (a G5 which died after I installed Leopard) I worked through apple works to get aquainted with my Mac, but then used iWork + Adressbook as my database. By now I have over 2000 "people or organisations that hire musicians" (I'm a musician) in Adressbook, but for a new project need something else.
This is what I want to do: I need to expand the "people or..." database, but want to start a seperate database about audiences with many ways to differentiate, organise, search and find by different criteria (like education, income, etc.).
I am looking for something more sofisticated than Adressbook, but easier to use that apple works.

In trying to move from AppleWorks, I've moved all of my databases to Numbers. For me, it works. I don't have the same needs in a database as I used to have.
Database programs are just not very common it seems. FileMaker Pro looks similar to AppleWorks, mostly because they were both originally Claris programs. The similarity really ends at the look. FileMaker is too expensive & too complex for your average AppleWorks database user.
If I were to need a "real" database in the future, I'd get iList Data. It was recommended by someone in this forum awhile back.
Bento is marketed by FileMaker as an answer for the common user. I don't think so (as do a number of other "old-time AppleWorks users" here). Still, all of these programs have free trials & you can decide for yourself what works best for you.
