If there is a red light coming from the headphone jack, it means the digital audio out is stuck on. A temporary fix is to insert and remove headphones several times to try to untrip it. Unfortunately, this might need a hardware repair to replace the logic board (as the headphone jack is part of the board).

TS1646 We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?

We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?

You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

"Thump" sound coming from speakers after upgrading to 10.4.10

After updating to 10.4.10, there's a not so loud but discernible "thump" sound coming from the speakers every like 5 minutes or so. Very anoying.
It's very easy to spot it when having external speakers connected to the audio port.
It just wasn't there before, anyone else having that??

I can't seem to find any of the posts you mention (??) about the "pop" sound, it has to be the same type of sound is very anoying I had to disconnect my external speakers.
My volume has been always very low, yes 1-3 clicks are not audible. I would hope they made an option of this lower volume thing just like the ipods have it, where one would decide where to limit (or not of course) the volume.
I hope they resolve this issue soon.

Macbook 2008 no audio from speakers - can't disable digital audio - red light in headphone jack

Looking for help with this problem, that seems like a lot of people had in the past and still have, but I see that a couple of discussions on it here have been archived. Too bad, as the problem continues.
I seem to be having the same problem with my late 2008 white 2.1Ghz Macbook.
I had used earphones a few times with movies and iTunes, with no problems. Now I've just rebooted to find that I have no audio from internal speakers (the boot up chime works though). Earphones work perfectly.
There is a constant red light in the earphone jack. The volume icon in the top menu bar is greyed out. In the Sound preference panel, Built-in Speakers are not available as an option for audio out. The only option is Digital Audio. If I connect earphones, then they are available as the only option.
I have tried all the various methods that people have recommended, to switch off digital audio through the earphone jack: trying to flip the little switch with a toothpick, paper clip, etc., as well as cleaning around inside the jack with a bit of rubbing or cleaning alcohol; also tried inserting and removing the earphones plug several times, while pushing the volume buttons on the keyboard. Nothing works.
I did get something from inserting/removing the earphone plug, as I seemed to be able to adjust volume from the keyboard, but I never got sound out from the speakers; the volume window seemed to indicate increase/decrease volume as I pressed the keys, but after a few seconds the volume window greyed out again with the No Entry symbol.
Trying to flip the digital audio switch in the jack occasionally gets the red light to turn off for a couple seconds, but then it comes back on.
Is there any particular problem with this that can't be solved by the aforementioned methods, that many people have used to solve it in a simple manner? Could my problem be more serious? Is there anything I could do if I opened up the Macbook, e.g., somehow to manually turn off the digital audio switch?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Got it fixed with a small flathead screwdriver with a fairly wide blade. Opened iTunes, started playing songs, had red light in headphone jack, as per usual with this problem.
Put screwdriver in jack, with blade more or less vertical, started moving it around inside of jack in clockwise motion, pressing pretty firmly. Took just a couple of "swirls" around the inside of the jack and then audio finally turned on! Was a bit of a hassle, but finally worked.
Many thanks to all for their suggestions.
P.S. re. advice not to use metal object. This was the only way I was finally able to solve the problem (i.e., using the small screwdriver). I didn't see where using a metal object would be a problem, seeing as the headphone plug itself is metal. Anyway, it worked.

Elitebook 2540p: Faint sound and static coming from speakers...Need Help!

I am having issues with my new 2540P. I can hear faint sound and static coming from my speakers as well as my headphones when I plug into the jack. I first started having this issue when I plugged additional speakers into the jack and USB while talking on Skype..
I am running Win7. I tried troubleshooting drivers and hardware, disabling and enabling, and a system restore going back one day...but no luck. When I disable the speakers, I stopped hearing even the faint sound. I also tried plugging and unplugging the jack 20 times.
Is it possible that this is a hardware failure (jack and/or sound card)?
Does anyone have other suggestions?

I am running XP and have same problem. Sound now gone after "pop". Customer services suggests hardware failure and send back to factory. Flashing BIOS and updating IDT audio driver will not fix the problem.
Possible speaker failure or audio chip failure.

MSI G70, can't adjust volume in game using keyboard shortcuts

Hello! Brand new MSI laptop, so awesome. However, I am unable to adjust the volume in-game using the keyboard shortcut FN+left arrow or FN+right arrow. It works fine outside of the game. I can also adjust the brightness in the game using FN+up arrow or FN+down arrow.
The games I've tried this in so far are Skyrim and Team Fortress 2. Any suggestions?

Quote from: RX-8 on 02-March-15, 12:38:02
The game just preempts the audio control from OS and make function keys ineffective. You'll need to ask the game designer.
I don't think that can be right. I didn't have any problem adjusting the volume in these same games with my last laptop using the keyboard shortcuts.

Loud Beeping Noise Coming from Speakers - Virus?

Ok,
So when I'm surfing in Safari i suddenly get beeping or actually its more of a drumming sound coming from the speakers a bit like 'dum dum dum', if i click on something on the page the noise will stop providing i don't release my finger off the mouse, once i do the noise starts again. If i close safari the noise will stop, however it randomly starts again... sometimes during the night when i've gone to sleep (with safari logged off).
Also during this stage of 'dum dum dum', if i click on anything in a menu bar the pull down appears however my chosen open which i have highlighted with arrow appears to highlight something else in the menu.
So far i've changed the mouse, can't narrow it down to a particular application. Any ideas? Virus perhaps?
By the way, i'm still trying to upload a video of the sound on youtube but its taking ages,
Thanks in advance.

Yep, disabled that one. Sound has gone way for the moment, but now my mouse is having the same problem, when i click on a menu e.g History (in safari), move my mouse pointer to say Yesterday it highlights something else in the menu and jumps around. Very strange this.

Only hear static coming from Speakers...

I just got a replacement iPod touch 2nd gen today and all I hear is static coming from the speakers? Like instead of music and the clicking noises it makes, just static. Whats wrong?

Hi,
Do you hear the static when using headphones?
Try restarting the iPod touch by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPod back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 36 of the iPod touch 3.0 User Guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.0_UserGuide.pdf
If the issue persists, try restoring the iPod. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 will walk you through restoring the iPod touch.

Mic sound coming from speakers on X

Right now whenever I use my mic the sound that im inputing into the mic will come out the speakers. How can I make it so that the sound does not come out the speakers.

In the Windows volume controls (aka Windows Mixer), do you have "microphone" listed in the Playback section? If so, mute that, and in the Recording section select "microphone." That will let applications "record" microphone but won't pass it through to your speakers/headphones.

Do you have pop sound from speakers in Leopard ?

hi,
after using my macbook pro for 5 days, that known pop sound started to appear from my left speaker. I have read posts people experiencing this issue under Tiger but is it still there in Leopard ? and is this a hardware or software problem ?
tks

I'm sorry that I'm not posting an answer for you, but I'm posting to say I had this happen to my MacBook Pro today. I upgraded to 10.5.4 about a week ago and this came out of nowhere today. I accessed a web site that had sound, so I know I had sound earlier today. A while later I heard a pop from the computer. Then about a half-hour later, I realized I wasn't hearing sound any longer. I hit the volume up/down keys and saw the visual clue that the sound level was changing, but there wasn't the usual beep to confirm the volume level. I pressed the mute key and heard the pop again. Every time I pressed mute, I heard the pop. There was no sound otherwise.
I confirmed that I could still hear sound through the headset output and shortly after that, the speakers started working again. I haven't had another problem since then. I wonder if plugging in headphones and unplugging them reset whatever was going wrong with the internal speakers?
Regardless, I hope someone posts a definitive answer soon.

Yosemite 10.10.1 can't adjust volume

I just bought a new 15 inch retina display macbook pro a couple days ago, it came with yoemite installed, it was 10.10. I did a software update and now its 10.10.1 the problem is when I try to adjust the volume the following icons appear, sound source are the internal speakers and i don't have any earphones/external speakers connected. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Can't adjust volume of audio clips

For some reason sliding the audio volume on the clip does absolutely nothing to the volume when I play it back!
Please tell me what's wrong.

Is the audio contained within the clip, that is, is it the audio initially recorded with the video? Or is the audio an added soundtrack (music or voiceover)? If it is the added soundtrack, you need to click on the small gear icon on the green or purple track that sits under the thumbnails - not on the clip thumbnails themselves - then select "Audio Adjustments" from the pop-up menu. The Inspector will open, allowing you to make the appropriate adjustments to the volume etc.
If you have dragged a music soundtrack into the background of your project, so that the whole background is coloured green, click on the small gear icon located in the upper left corner, select "Audio Adjustments" and continue from there, as above.
Likewise, if you wish to adjust the volume on the actual video clips, select the clips and click on the gear icon on one of them and follow the steps above. To select a range of clips, if the clips are adjoining click on the first clip then Shift-click on the last. If not adjoining, click on the first then Command-click on each of the others in the range.
Hope I'm not misunderstanding what you may have already tried!

Scariest noises coming from speakers

$ I just installed 64-bit windows and when I got to the drivers for my X-Fi 5., it appeared to install just fine, but I rebooted and the scariest noise came from my speakers. The sound can only be described as digital havoc.
I'm not sure as to what to do, so if anyone can give me some help?

( I had the same problem when I first installed Windows 7 RC x64 way back in June 09, thats also when I bought my Elite Pro.
I initial fix was to remove 2gigs of ram from my system leaving me with 2gigs installed which I wasn't pleased about at all. Later I managed to find the Daniel K drivers and support pack 2.0 which fix the issue.
I now see Creative have finally released a new driver (Jan 0th release) which may fix this issue. It is sadly ?long over due as I have just sold my Elite Pro because of Creatives total lack of support .
A fix for the snap crackle pop issue and new working apps should have been available months and months ago, this left me no choice but to never trust in this company again, I will never buy another Creative product and will now be quite happy with onboard sound using SPDIF and Coax out.
Good bye Creative and good luck.
P.S Daniel k is an absolute legend and should be praised for his work. Thank you for giving help when I needed it.

I can't adjust volume on my Macbook pro

As showing on the picture above, I am not allowed to increase or decrease the volume of my external speaker. It just happened recently
Also when I go into perferences, under audio, it will say the chosen device has no output control.
I tried to search online for a solution, however, the solution that came up is through plugging a headphone and remove it.
I need to do it everytime after restarting my Mac from a shut down.
Please help!!!

Hello,
Make sure your MacBook's sound output is set to the correct setting. To do this go to 'System Prefrences' and open the 'Sound' page, select the correct output, 'Internal Speakers' are the deafult setting for MacBook's. Hopefully this should solve your problem.
Hope this helps!
