Please Help My External Speakers Are'n't Working

I am using a powerbook g4 (titanium) and OS 10.4.10. For some reason, my headphone jack plays sound when I plug in headphones but not when I plug in my speakers. Bought new pair of speakers and they still do not get sound ( Is this a coincidence?) I even bought i-mic for using the usb port and I still don't get sound from my external speakers. I've reset the pram and made sure the audio/midi settings are correct. This is too strange....Please someone help.

Sorry, I meant aluminum powerbook not titanium. Also, my headphones work when I plug in the i-mic but not the external speakers.

  • External speakers are no longer working, why?

    Ive been Apple Airplay and now my external speakers no longer work on my imac, it is something to do with Airplay or is there something that I need to fix or reinstall?  Look forward to hearing from you.  TIA

    Hi,
    There are no external speakers in Sound Preferences/ Output, only internal speakers, or if you plug something into the output port, Headphones, or a sound interface device. Hold down the Option key and click on the sound icon in the top menu bar on your display and you will see the options for output and input.
    Have you got an audio system plugged into the output port? If it is not working, check your cables.

  • Need Audio Help - USB External Speakers

    This should be fun!
    Need Audio Help!  My USB external speakers are recognized in Garage Band Preferences, but NOT in System Preferences. (I use the audio interface, US-144 Tascam)
    Which means:
    I can only play my speakers using Garage band and not iTunes.
    They were working in both iTunes and GB many times before.
    I see that others have had problems losing their external speakers after updating their iMac.
    I've called Apple for assistance (no help)
    Changed the order of connections
    I've shut down again, again...
    Help please

    Open System Preferences/Sound and select the USB Speakers as your Output device
    If that doesn't do as you expect, or you need to tweak them, run Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and select them there then adjust the Format and Volume etc.

  • My external speakers are not working, any suggestions?

    My external speakers are not working, any suggestions?

    try different audio or USB cables.
    try the speakers with a different computer.
    go to the speaker manufacturer's website and see if there's some troubleshooting info or a new driver that you need.
    check System Preferences > Sound > Output
    see if the speakers show up in the sound output device list
    make sure the mute box is unchecked.
    Check Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup
    see if your speakers are selected in the column on the left
    make sure the mute box is unchecked

    Hello Cooper,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone 5.  I would be concerned too if my iPhone was not powering on.  I found an article with steps you can take when you encounter an issue like this.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • I can't load 1 Imovie project. Imovie shows 5 projects but only 4 icons show of those. 1 projects symbol won't come up so I can't click on it to work on or play. Please help me as there's lots of work on this project I don't want to lose.

    The performance fixes is a biggy for me, though the other missing
    stuff I use makes me have to use both versions for various things:
    "but they seem to be committed to another release/version."
    Well ... now that's the rub. I would actually welcome this intermediate version to play with (even with the cost of upgrading) if I could rely on it to be finalized into 6.0, full featured, without it taking as long as it has to Upgrade from AA3.0. I would say it was a VERY smart move to give us a preview of 6.0, if I felt in, say, six months they would provide us the fully functional update. But, HOW many years has it been. I felt screwed over while they played around with Sound Booth.
    I was with you for a minute in most of what you said, until your credibility went down a couple notches with me on the statement trivializing midi functionality. I though that was a very clueless statement:
    "but I have no need for a midi controller and if I want a drummer to keep perfect time I'll get a drum machine."
    It does make some of your other statements suspect, tho I won't take it as far as therealdobro's "what's your stake" question.

  • Help with external speakers please

    Just bought an HP G62-457DX.  I plugged in my external speakers and got a message that confirmed it, but I don't know how to make the sound come out of those speakers instead of the built-in one.  Can someone help?  Thank you.

  • Please help! My photos are g-o-n-e!

    Please help!!
    First, let me mention that I am not a very tech-savvy person. I received my macbook pro as a gift when I graduated 2 years ago, and know a lot less about it than I probably should. That being said, I DO love taking photographs. I shoot senior portraits, weddings, lifestyle photos, and recently returned from living abroad in Venice, Italy, so as you can imagine...my computer has collected a large amount of photos. We're talking like, 21,000 photos large. This, of course, led to multiple pop-up windows everyday which read "Startup disc almost full" and very slow performance. So before I could get my hands on an external harddrive, I tried to delete what photos I could from my pictures folder in applications (not iphoto). This is were things get fuzzy for me. I selected "all" and dragged my pictures file into the trash. I also read that you can increase performance speed by emptying the trash, which I proceeded to do after dumping my pictures folder in(do you see where I'm going with this?). A few minutes later, I went to snag a photo out of my iphoto, but to my dismay, my IPHOTO was the folder that was being deleted in the trash. My trash said that about 7% of the emptying process was completed, so I immediately canceled out. Unfortunately, I have not since seen one of my 21,000 photos. I'm heartbroken! Among Venice photos, I had birth photos and lots of other sentimental pictures that now seem forever lost. Right now, I don't have money to go to a professional to seek help, so I'm hoping and praying some of you can dumb down some sort of process that will recover my photos! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any and all suggestions you might have...I can use all the help I can get!!
    Jenna
    * I forgot to mention, now when I go into my finder under the pictures folder, an icon that looks like a dog-earred blank piece of paper appears. It's labeled as "iphoto library". When I click on it, it says "iphoto library--bash--80x24" and when it is minimized and i rest my mouse over the icon, it reads "Terminal" (that doesnt sound too good). I don't know what any of this means, but if you have a clue, let me know!

    It's regrettable that you deleted files without having backed them up first. The first thing you need to do is back up what's left of your data. You can do that with Time Machine or by other means, but you need an external hard drive to hold the data.
    Whatever you did delete without backups is most likely gone forever. You could send your hard drive to a data-recovery firm, but the service will be very expensive and may not recover anything. The less you do with the computer before then, the better the chance of success.
    The iPhoto library is corrupted and you won't be able to open it. You may be able to extract what's left of the images, but first you have to back up.

  • When external speakers are plugged in to headphone jack, sound randomly goes back to internal speakers or digital audio setting, then back again

    I have an essentially new MacBook Pro with Lion and all updates applied, and am wondering if this is a hardware or software problem.  Essentially with something plugged into the headphone jack, things work as they are supposed to for a while, then the sound will switch back to internal speakers, or sometimes 'digital out' (I can watch it change in the system settings), and then often switch back.  It doesn't seem to follow any sort of pattern or be related to any specific application that could be open, and happens with different sources of audio (iTunes, streaming from the web), and different external speakers or headphones plugged in.

    Sounds hardware related. If it's brand new, and you're still under warranty I would have it checked out.
    I have not experienced this on my computer.
    As I understand it, you have analog RCA outputs from an 1/8" to left and right RCA outputs. when you're randomly using the computer, it'll switch to internal speakers, then to digital audio, back to your stereo analog external speakers.
    This should not be happening and if it's happening with streaming content (I am unaware of anything that streams in 5.1 digital audio) then this must be something that an apple specialist should look at and consider.
    Does this happen with the headphone jack out? when you hold your finger over the headphone jack area does a red beam come out of it *blinking* or just on? This will be a good indicator that your audio hardware is faulty. are you running HDMI out?

  • I can't hear iTunes music or internet radio but internal and external speakers are definitely working. Is there a key stroke I have set or some other, maybe Yosemite, issue?

    I have checked my internal speakers on an iMac and also the external speakers - all working. When play music in iTunes the sound bar moves but no sound is heard.  Same problem if I want to listen to the radio via internet.  Has anyone a suggestion.  Is it a Yosemite issue - I have had others involving printers. thanks

    like davis says then even though I have connected headset and external speakers to my imac then at boot up the boot sound comes out of the imac speaker
    but once booted into OS X all audio is played out of the headset and ext speakers and the imac speakers are silent as the grave

    hello sumon,
    try the following code in your downloadPage method.
    unfortunately i don't have any PDA to check this out.
    hope that it will give you an idea...
    URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com");
    HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(c.getInputStream());
    byte[] data = new byte[c.getContentLength()];
    dis.readFully(data);
    String strData = new String(strData);
    //display data to form... or parse it prior to display.
    regards
