Sound difficulties with MacBook Air running 10.9

I have a MacBook Air running 10.9 OS X Mavericks, everything was going fine after the update. Except now after my MacBook goes to sleep for a couple of minutes the next time it is turned on sound in both the built-in speakers and headphones doesn't work. It only comes back on if I reboot my MacBook, and then works fine until I accidently let it go back to sleep and have to do it over all again. Do you know of anything that would cause this? Or how I can fix it?

Plug in the headphone and remove it
1. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
2. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

    Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
    This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
    Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
    Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

  • HT1338 why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    why is my MacBook Air running slow and I bought the 11 inch with all memory and turbo boost

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Log out and log back in. Any change?
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Again, if only Safari is involved, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • Does anybody knows how to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

    Does anybody knows how to install Windows 7 from a USB drive on 2010 MacBook Air running Lion?

    Tell my wife that!
    This is the best I can do. This way you can use the 2011 MBA way to do things.
    Look for the post from @jacktourist. (on page 2 about half way down) This seems to be the easiest.
    There are a couple of more similar to this with pictures I've seen around but can't remember where.
    Here's another search with added info. It's easier then it sounds.

  • InDesign problems on Macbook Air running Lion.

    HI folks,
    I have recently purchased a 2011 Macbook Air, running Lion. I have a copy of Indesign CS4 that I am trying to get running on this machine. I previously had it activated on my macbook pro and had no problems. I deactivated it from that computer and have activated it on the new machine. After creating a new document in InDesign I find that I get the beach ball and it won't do anything. Have any of you had a similar experience? Do any of you know the solution to this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    James.

    Well, you haven't given us lots of detail - but only because there aren't that many details anyways, right?
    Did you install from the original media? (It never would have occurred to me to just drag apps off one machine and drop them on another, but people do this sometimes.)
    Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall? (That's what I'd do first if a fresh install of a program was borked from the very beginning.)
    Have you tried it as a new user? (If it works in a new user account, then the problem is with your user account, not with your install of ID.)
    There are other things to try - search the forums for removing the SING datastore, or resetting preferences - but really the uninstall/reinstall should make it work right off the bat, and it also should take less time than actually diagnosing the problem & fixing it.

  • I have Quicktime 7 on my new MacBook Air running Yosemite 10.10.1 but would like to know if I can view or run my .mkv movies/files? Or are there any approved software that can run or view my .mkv files.  Thanks.

  • Reminders won't synch with Macbook Air

    Hi Folks:
    I have an iPhone 5c running IOS 7.1.2, Macbook Air running 10.9.4
    Reminders on the phone stopped synching with the Macbook.  Tuesday it didn't synch, I rebooted the phone, turned Reminders on /off in Settings>iCloud.  Didn't work.  Halh hour later it started working.
    Now those actions do not work.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Sometimes icloud site is not working if your network or computer firewall stops connecting to Apple server. However in your case it is necessary to figure out which device is not talking to icloud. The fun part of it we may have found your answer. If your computer is unable to communicate to website, it is unable to communicate to icloud either. Hence your reminders will not sync. If any of your friends can loan you a computer time on other network for five minutes, login to your icloud and if data is the same as on your phone - your computer is not syncing with icloud cause it is blocked by something.

  • HT3455 HDCP Compatibility with MacBook Air?

    I have a mid 2011 MacBook Air running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and the latest version of Itunes. I downloaded HD TV episodes of Breaking Bad Season 4 yesterday and cannot play them, I get a message that they can only be played on HDCP compatible devices. How can my Mac not be compatible with iTunes content?
    I have already looked up this issue on the support forums and found several solutions, none of which have worked. I am trying to play the movies just on my Mac, not to any external device. I tried looking for updates of iTunes / OS X and have the latest versions of both. I tried going to my iTunes media folder to see if there were non HD versions there as well, there were not. I checked my preferences in iTunes under Store, to ensure that it was set to 720p which it is. I am all out of options.
    Can anyone help me play this content, or help me raise it as a complaint and get a refund?
    Thanks a million! Oh, and Merry Christmas

    It is now 2 years later, and I still have this issue, although it started later. Until December of 2014 I was able to watch movies from the iTunes store, then it suddenly stopped. I have the same MacBook Air as you do.
    iTunes support is very polite, partially refunds your issue (they also have issues calculating), but is for the rest completely useless—they don't seem to be able to comprehend the issue.
    I now rent movies from the competition—their offerings work fine.

  • Apple tv won't pair with macbook air

    Apple TV 2 - trying to get it to pair with macbook air using bluetooth: The Apple TV continues to search with the spinning thing; the macbook air shows that it sees the apple tv, displays the 6 digit code that apple tv should then also display, but  the apple tv just continues to search.  After a few minutes, the macbook air returns a pairing failed statement.  I've tried several times.  I have rebooted both.  Macbook air is now running OS X 10.10 Yosemite.  Apple TV is showing version 7.0 (6897.5). Oh, I'm sitting 6 ft from the apple tv, but I moved to within 24 in and still same failure.  Any help would be welcome.  Thanks

    As follow up, and for what it may be worth(likely not much), I talked to a staffer at an Apple Store the other day about this.  He said this capability is meant for, and can only be used with a dedicated bluetooth keyboard.  I tried this when I returned home, as my desktop iMac uses a bluetooth KB.  I "unconnected" the KB from the iMac, then took it to the other room in an attempt to establish the bluetooth connection to the ATV.  Still no success.  And as I was attempting this, I realized that, with using the KB only, that is, no "attached screen" as with the Macbook air, I could not see how I could make a connection, because when I had previously tried to connect my Macbook Air, the Air screen was showing that it was attempting to pair with the ATV, and it displayed a 6 digit code that then was supposed to also be displayed on the TV screen attached to the ATV. If I continued to attempt to pair the dedicated KB only, how would this dedicated KB "with no screen" display a 6 digit code?  So the mystery continues.

  • Macbook Air running OS Mavericks won't print wirelessly to Officejet 4620

    I'm running a 2014 macbook air running OS 10.9.3 with an officejet 4620 all connected to the same wireless network.  I have an older Macbook running OS 10.7.5.  The older macbook will print fine wirelessly to the printer.  The new macbook air will connect to the printer and scan from the printer.  However, when I try to print something from word it says it's sending the job to the printer and that the job is complete, but nothing prints.  It doesn't even try to print.  I went into HP settings and printed a test page without a problem.  I'm guessing it has to be something in OS Mavericks.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Welcome to the HP Forums Sanduvall,
    I read your post which indicates that you can't print from Maverick, but it will scan.
    I can help you with this.
    Are you using the newest drivers from HP?
    HP Officejet 4620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Maverick...
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
    If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    Test the printer again.
    If you are still having issue then please try the following steps:
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list and click on the Add button.
    (make sure it shows the printer name beside Use, not the Airprint driver)
    Try printing again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!
    Thank You.
