NO sound when using any form of headphones

I cannot listen to anything with heaphones anymore. I have a macbook pro 13" inch and I only got it maybe 2 years ago, probably less than that. A few days ago I plugged my headphones in to do some final cut pro editing and my sound wasnt working at all! I've checked to see if my sound was on mute when speakers were in.....NOPE, Ive reset the PRAM settings....NOPE, I have checked to see whether my sound output was set incorrectly and as far as I can see all is good, and Ive restarted the computer many times and that also isnt working. Do you have any other advice for me to fix this problem? Or do I really have to take my computer into a genius bar or something. The unfortunate thing is that I am currently in India making a film documetary and now I cant edit with headphones for best sound quality.
Please someone help me with this.

Plug in the headphone. Option click the speaker icon in the menu bar.
Make sure that headphone is selected.
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
When Audio Devices Page shows up plug in the headphone.
Highlight the headphone in the sidebar and make sure that mute is not selected under "Mute".
Try to adjust the volume.

  • I have robotic sound when using any type of audio, or video

    Doesn't help, I use Wacom Intuos 5 Medium tablet, I disconnected the wacom tablet and did some brush work with the mouse (apple magic mouse) and it hangs the same way, then I disconnected the mouse and did some brush work only with the tablet and it is the same again.

  • MacBook Pro freezes when using any app other than the web browser.

    My MacBook freezes when using any app other than the web browser. I can open up Google Chrome and use it all day with no problem, but if I minimize it and try to browse through photos in my picture folder or do anything that involves the Finder, the computer just freezes up and I get the rainbow wheel. If I put in a CD to play it, the computer freezes with the rainbow wheel. Any suggestions? I would like to use the mac for more things than the internet.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi all,
    Probably a quick question, but I'm fairly new to Macs. I've a Macbook Pro 13 Late 2011 and now I've got an Apple TV, I use AirPlay. But how do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay?
    Many thanks in advance, Jon.

  • Popping / clicking sound when using headphones

    I just got a new iMac and I've noticed when using headphones I get this popping or clicking noise at cerain times. If the computer doesn't produce sound for a while, it's like the audio driver "shuts down" and the headphones go very quiet, then when the computer has to make a sound, it makes a "pop" noise before it loads the new sound (regardless of the file or program used). Then I'll leave it for a minute or so, and it "pops" and the headphones go very silent (there was a slight static noise before). I don't get this happening when running the headphones through a USB audio card. Is this normal behaviour for Mac OS?

    Looks like this is a software issue (in part at least). By installing this simple script:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29024/antipop
    you can keep it from happening (more than once). The script keeps the audio system from shutting down, so you only get a pop on startup and that's it. I still don't know if this popping is normal behaviour or points to some faulty hardware.

  • Problem quality of sound when use the microphone

    Hello,
    I have big problem.
    I have today buy the headphone HS-1000 gaming.
    My problem is when use the microphone (skype or mumble) my sound in game in very very poor !!!!
    I have latest drivers availible on creative website
    You have any idea ?
    Sorry for my bad english

    Try converting to .mp3. You will almost always get some loss when converting one compressed format to another. It shouldn't be that noticeable though.
    What bit rate are your .wma files?

  • No Sound when Using HDMI from ATT DVR to TV

    I have a 52xv645u TV.  When I connect it to my ATT UVerse DVR using HDMI I get picture but no sound.  Using Composite everything works fine.  I've tried several HDMI cables.  If I use HDMI to my Surround Sound amp, I get both picture and sound (even with the amp volume muted).  The problem seems to be the connection between the DVR and the TV.  Does this TV support HDSC?  I believe that the DVR requires it to support it on the TV.  
    I see that there is an upgrade for the firmware for this TV.  I have a Mac so the instructions don't work right.  I've downloaded the files to a flash drive but I am not sure if they are correct because there is no list of files available.  Does anyone know what files are needed so I can be sure that my flash drive has everything it needs?
    Any help with these problems would be appreciated!  
    Thanks,
    Mark 

    Is there a list of things that are fixed in the update?   I can get sound and picture through component but I fear that it's not the same quality as it would be through HDMI.  But again, it's only when I watch TV without going through my surround sound amp.  I can watch TV through my apm and watch my Bluray DVDs through the amp and it goes via HDMI.  

  • Fizzy and hissing sound when using earphone...

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inches 2009. I use my earphone to listen music. However, when I don't play music, I can hear a fizzy and hissing sound from my earphone. I tried to use another one but there is still fizzy and hissing sound when no music is playing. I can hear that even clearer when my room is silent. I feel really annoyed about that sound.
    If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know. Any helps are appreciating...
    Thanks.
    Vu Dinh
    P/S: I'm not sure if it's a software issue or hardware issue.

    The problem is when I dont play music, there is still fizzy and hissing sound on my earphone. Only when I play music, the music is louder than that sound so I just hear music in that time. However, when I dont play music, there is always fizzy sound on my earphone. I already said it always happens when I put my earphone jack on Macbook Pro.
    I want to know if there are any ways to fix that... It's really annoying. It's not silent at all even there is no music. Always a fizzy sound on my earphone.
