Problems with the sound - headphones in Macbook!!
Hi!
I have one of the lastest Macbook, with Core 2 Duo 2,16 Ghz, and I have the first problem (hope the last one ) . I usually use the headphones out to connect the music to large speakers and listen to the music louder, but when I go out and use the integrated speakers, the music in itunes has some sound cuts, sometimes I hear it, sometimes not, and when the music doesn't sound, a light turn on in the headphones out, and I can't turn up or down the volume.
I don't know if it's a software or hardware problem, but it's a little strange.
I hope you can help me.
Thank you very much indeed.
P.D: Sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and I can't explain better.
It is going to digital audio output, which has no volume control. See if you can change the Output setting in "Sounds" system preference.

Hello everyone,
So here for 2-3 days, the sound of my Macbook starts beuguer (buy in October 2014). So when starting the mac when I listen to music all goes well, I can adjust the sound using the keys on my keyboard, and when I ca defois support appears to me that the sound is cut off, I think it 'is a problem with the sound card. But as soon as I plug in headphones, not set I have to go through the system preferences. By unplugging the problem remains the same on his fate, but impossible to resolve through the keyboard. I tried to put the volume icon on the top bar but even by setting it does not work here. The problem resolves itself after 30 minutes-1 hour. It's very annoying. Thank you in advance for your answers.Hi, Dolve
This could be either hardware or software, so let's start with trying to get all drivers and software up to date. This page has updates for all your system. I would recommend getting at least your latest audio driver and BIOS downloaded. Following the installation, try using your sound again and see if the issue still persists.
Best,
Adam

Problems with the sound in Windows
Hey everybody, hoping someone can help.
I'm working with Cubase in Windows with my mac and i have problems with the sound, but not all the time.
I have an M-Audio card connected and while i'm playing something in Cubase, the sound makes a digital distortion just for 10 seconds, and then again sounds perfect and then again comes back the digital crash, somekind of loop. So i was thinking that maybe was a problem with the drivers of my M-Audio card, but then i was playing a song in Winnamp with the built-in speakers and happens exactly the same, so i think it's a problem with the Mac drivers for Windows, i use the same audio card in MacOsX and i don't have problems
I have tried various display settings. I have no idea if this is just me or a common problem.
Thanks in advance...
MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)This is not a BOOT CAMP Problem. It is a WINDOWS XP Problem. Either he didn't install the drivers for the sound card. (Which is Realtek High Definition Audio) or the Windows XP audio driver (WNMM) is corrupt.
Go to Device manager and under Sound, Video and Game controllers you should see a little yellow question mark under the WNMM driver. If this is the case he needs to uninstall the driver and reboot. It will then reinstall itself and should work properly after that.

i have problem with the sounds not working
Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod/Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085 -

Hi, I rented a movie off iTunes but the there is no sound. I've bought and rented previous movies and I've never had any problems with the sound before. Is this some kind of glitch? How can I get my money back?
Hey grossa2,
First, here is a way to report an issue with your purchase:

Then, I'd go through this article, which helps troubleshoot a lack of audio playback in iTunes:

Define "voice of the device."
Are you referring to the ear speaker or main speaker? Phone calls? Rings/alerts? Music?

First of all, ENGLISH ISNT MY PRIMARY LANGUAGE, SORRY FOR THE SPELLING MISTAKES:
Hi, i bougth my mac a couple of days ago and it works just perfect.
I had a little problem with the audio and i want to know if its normal or i should be worried about it.
I was watching a episode of a serie and the audio works fine. Then I started to watch another episode and i wasn't hearing anything. The volume was almost on max. i though it was a problem with the webpage but when i went to youtube the audio wasn't working either. i closed google chrome and opened it again, the sound works fine again. But still there was a problem, the little noise that the Mac make when you change the volume wasn't working, in system preference the box "Play Feedback When Volume is Changed" was checked, it just stop working suddenly. I restarted my Mac and now everything is perfect.
im a little worried right know cause ive been using this mac for two days, i think this isnt supossed to happen. i didnt change any configuration before this happened. If this is in a couple of days, whats going to happen in a couple of months or years?
Thanksi bougth my mac a couple of days ago
Call Apple Care. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired. -

Problems with the sound in the headphones when you press the keys iphone 5s
Sound distortion " keyboard clicks " headphones.
Greetings alexsuperpechen,
If you are getting distorted sound output through your headphones when you use your iPhone's keyboard, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your headset isn't working - Apple Support
In particular the first troubleshooting paragraph -
You can fix most headset issues with a few steps. Try these first:
Make sure that the headset has a built-in microphone.
Unplug the headset and clear any debris from the headset jack. Then plug it back in.
Make sure the headset is plugged in all the way. If you’re using a case, remove it to make sure it’s not getting in the way.
Check the headset cable, connector, remote, and earbuds for damage. Make sure they’re not blocked or dirty.
Try using another headset. If the issue happens with the other headset, contact Apple Support for help. If the other headset works, contact the headset manufacturer.
Try using a different iOS device with your headset. If the issue happens with the other iOS device, contact the headset manufacturer. For Apple headsets, contact Apple support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word) because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,

Having a problem with the sound for purchased movies is skipping like a scratched CD
Every time I got to play a movie of Television show the sound keeps skipping like a scratched CD. I've tried redownloading but that doesn't seem to work. I dont know what else to do.
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
W530 and a problem with the sound card
Hi,
Whenever I play a song or a tune, I experience a reoccurring glitch or a "bzzzzzt" for about half a second, before the sound gets back to normal. This seems to be totally random, and not caused by heavy usage of RAM or the processor.
Do you think this is a hardware problem or a driver related issue?
Any suggestions to solve this are appreciated.Hi, Dolve
This could be either hardware or software, so let's start with trying to get all drivers and software up to date. This page has updates for all your system.

In GarageBand when I go to the keyboard section and turn the volume up it will go up but not the sound it's to low I don't know what happened
There may be. Try cleaning it out with a cotton swab, tweezers, etc. Also try a different set of earphones to rule out problems with your set.
