Sound Effects Not Working, HELP!!

Hey my sound EFX are no longer working. My sound works though. but when I send something to the trash there's no noise, nor when I empty it. Same when I delete a track in iTunes, or get an iChat IM, there's no effect noise. What can I do? I tried restarting a few times. Thanks

I am having the same problem with an intel imac and all the settings are correct but no sound effects. All other sound is fine. Only happened after the last security update ???

Sound effects not working

Suddenly my iPad 3 with Retina display isn't playing sound effects in many apps. Music and videos playback audio fine. Sound effects in the Settings app work fine.
I can change the sound effect for sending Mail through the Settings app and hear what it should sound like, but when I send mail through the Mail app, I hear nothing. Some 3rd party apps sound fine, while others are now missing sound effects.

Hi atennant2,
This might be caused by account settings.
If you have multiple accounts on your Mac sometimes when you do a fast
userswitch settings of the previous account don't update. If the previous user
had the volume muted in his settings, the account switch might not reset
this to the settings you set in your account. Now an os update or big server
maintenance, account cleaning session can cause these issues as well.
Try to log in to the account you used previously, make sure that sound
settings are ok, When sound is working now it's ok for your other account.
Hope it works,
JP
(if not: check in system profile wether there are Garageband folders (2) marked as "Classic", delete them.
Enable speech in the system preferences, restart)

Sound effects not working after upgrade

After upgrading to Yosemite, my system sound effects are no longer working. Instead of hearing my selected Basso sound, my entire screen flashes. Other sounds, such as the audio track of a video, still work fine. If I use the "afplay" command I can hear a system sound. I also get sounds for incoming and outgoing mail. But clicking one of the system alert sounds in the "Sounds" preference pane does nothing audible, and in other places where I used to get a Basso sound, my screen flashes instead. I'm aware of the Accessibility option that gives the screen flash in lieu of an audible alert, but that is turned off, and I have tried turning it on and back off again, to no avail. My "Alert volume" is all the way up in the "Sounds" preference pane, and I've slid that back and forth too.
Can anyone suggest a way to reset whatever got confused in the upgrade, and get my alert sounds back?
I'm on a 13" mid-2009 MacBook Pro, if that matters.
Thanks!

I had same exact problem - Reset PRAM and not works fine. I followed instructions here, and step 5 fixed it: http://www.iphonetopics.com/no-sound-after-upgrading-to-os-x-yosemite/

Sound Effects Not working Correctly in Mail 6.0 or Notification Center...

I recently installed Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro (2012 Retina Screen, 2.7 GHz Core i7, 16 GB RAM) and all the sound effects are no longer working in the new version of Mail 6.0. There are also Sound Effect problems with the Notification Center.
I double checked and all my settings appear to be correct in Mail and in the Sounds & Notification Center Pref Panes. I also did a PRAM reset to see if that would fix it, and that made no difference either. In Mail, only some sounds are working. I still get the swoosh sound when mail is sent but not any of the other sounds like when email is deleted or received. Also, my speakers are working fine for audio etc.
I called Apple Care and the technician had me on the phone for a while and researched this, but said he could find nothing that was known or had been reported on this issue. As an FYI, to the best of my knowledge I'm not running any incompatible apps. Every app I am running is listed as being compatible with ML.
Has anyone else had this issue with the Mail and Notification Center Sound Effects? I would appreciate any solutions or suggestions.
Thanks...
Patrick

Patrick,
I have experienced the same symptoms.
Opening Audio MIDI Setup, and changing the Built-in Output>Format to another choice (2ch-20bit Integer) and then back to the prvious setting (2ch-24bit Integer) briefly fixes the lack of Mail sounds, but unfortunately the problem eventually returns after computer sleep.
I have tried a Safe Boot, and removed the Audio MIDI plist without success.

Sound effects not working with SoundSticks after upgrade to 10.4.4

After upgrading to 10.4.4, the sound effects of OS X, such as emptying trash, iChat effects, etc, doesn't come out from the SoundSticks (first generation, connected via USB), even though I've turned it (effects) to the highest level, and selected to have it come out of the SoundSticks.
The effects are fine if I select Built-in Audio as sound output.

The names are updated to the following (although the documentation doesn't reflect this):
addDataSourceConnectionPool == createJDBCConnectionPool
addManagedDataSource == createManagedDataSource
addNativeDataSource == createNativeDataSource
testDataSourceConnectionPool == testConnectionPool
Hope it helps ...
Cheers!

No sound, mic not working, help!

friends,
So i plugged my ibook G4 into a speaker. it worked great. That's normal, just out of the headphones jack. then I plugged a keyboard into that same speaker, and played it, it worked too. but then when i went back to the computer, it wouldn't make a sound, so i unplugged the speaker, and now no sound will come out of the speakers on the computer either. I also then tried recording my voice into garage band, and it doesn't pick up anything, so i don't think the speakers are blown, maybe a soundcard issue, but i've searched and am yet to find any way to fix it. I've gone into the SOUND area of the system prefferences, but nothing there seemed to make a difference, unless i didn't do something right. Please help me out! thanks!

Have you checked system preferences under 'sound'? Mine keeps saying I have no output devices. Since installing Leopard I have been on the phone with Applecare for a total of about 4 hours trying resolve the loss of sound. They have had me do several different power management restarts and this solves the problem for a few days.

Sound is not working properly ? The volume button keeps saying sound effects when it's pressed .

Sound is not working at all now , when you press the volume button it says sound effects but nothing is happening

Hello Hartnett01,
Thank you for the details you provided regarding your audio issue you are experiencing on your iPad. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
First, I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):
Frozen or unresponsive iPad
https://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/ipad/
If the issue persists, I recommend reviewing this article next (the title of the article refers to an iPhone, but the steps still apply to an iPad):

My Pokerist app sound does not work, only with headphones....can anyone help me? Thank you

My Pokerist app sound does not work. It will only work if I have head phones on. All other sound works, songs, video etc. I deleted the app, then installed again still no sound. It is not the app because I also have a IPhone and the sound works on Pokerist. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
Thank you

No sound form :
- Speaker?
- Headphones?
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, ringer tones, movies or music. I was told by verizon that the speaker maybe out, but that i might want to try and reload or update my itunes by plgging into my home computer... will this help and if so how do I do this?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.

You indicate you have a "brand new Air", you have a 14 day exchange, and the warranty of which you paid for regarding genius bar in-shop diagnostics (and repair if necessary)
What year model Air do you have?
On the first question,....are the headphones attached when you have your Air in sleep?
If yes, then refrain from having phones attached when you close the monitor to prevent this until it is resolved
resolution as to same yet, no.
