Sound not playing through internal speakers or headphones

Okay, so I am wanting to listen to audio, but it is not working through my speakers or headphones. Last time that this happened, I know that it had something to do with airplay, since I remember doing something with airplay. I have no idea what is causing this this time, but if you need any additional details, just ask.

Have you tried a PRAM reset?

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

ITunes ONLY plays through internal speakers, system plays through line out

I have my system setup to play through my stereo. I launched iTunes today and it gave me the "accept terms & conditions" as if I had just downloaded a new upgrade (I didn't - have been running 7.4.2 perfectly since Sep 10 2007). I agreed, iTunes starts up ok with library intact. BUT; When I press play, the sound started playing through my skype phone! I plug out the skype phone and it plays through the internal speakers.
I checked sys prefs and it's ticked for line out, and, surely, when I press the volume button it adjusts through the stereo speakers (as does everything else except iTunes now).
I tried playing with the skype phone settings but they were all fine.
Does anyone know what's happening here?
edit: strange - I quit iTunes and it asks me "keep new settings or old settings". I keep old, restart iTunes and it plays through the speakers again. There are no settings in iTunes to change output as far as I can see. I thought I'd leave this post in case anyone else comes across this. odd, but sorted ?

sorted itself on restart

Sound not playing through any device.

Sound will not play through any device I try. I tired re installing all the drivers messing around with the playback device
and sound mixer and tried going through the audio jack in the back the headphone jack in the front hdmi to my tv and usb wireless headset none of them worked. and tried them all on with something other than my pc and the devices themselves work. i honestly
dont know what else to try is it something with windows or maybe my graphics card or something else? please help.

Hi Kevinwido,
When did this issue occur ?Have you made any modifications to the machine ? Will the built-in sound device work ?Have you tried to update the motherboard from the manufacturer website to have a check ?
You may need to download the sound card driver from the manufacturer for the sound devices to have a check.
If only the outer device won`t work and both of them are USB devices ,it is recommended to reinstall the USB controller driver, too .
If the issue occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point to have a check. Please note we will miss some configurations after the restore point .
Best regards

Sound not recignizing my internal speakers

Hi: My parents iMac is not recignizing the internal speakers in their Mac. When we try to change the volume, it has a cirlce that is crossed out. Any help would be great
Thanks

Except for your keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices/peripherals from your computer.
Double check the link MGW listed & make sure the following is your set up:
Change the Audio Output setting to +_44100.0 Hz_.+
Trash the com.apple.soundpref.plist document
Boot from your System Install DVD & run the repair disk/repair permission options.
After doing the above reset the SMU - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733 iMac G5: How to Reset the SMU (iMac G5, the iMac G5 (Ambient Light Sensor), and the iMac G5 (iSight)).
Say 3 Hail Marys, make an offering to Buddah, Praise Be To Allah, sacrafice your first born & last but not least, kiss your iMac (gotta cover all bases).
Good luck!

System Sounds Have Started Playing Through Internal Speakers

I have a Presonus Firebox sound card through which I play all my audio. Suddenly and mysteriously, all my system sounds (email sent, email received, trash emptied, etc.) are going through my internal speakers, while all my apps remain as they were -- iTunes, FCP, Firebox, etc., all play audio through my sound card and speakers. In System Prefs, the Firebox is chosen as input, output and sound effects.
Why is this happening, and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Giraut

Hi Giraut,
I don't have such a device to check, nor even external speakers, but I suspect this invisible file is corrupted, I'd drag it to the desktop and see if you can set it again...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPreferences<12digitHexNumb er>.plist
Might check Midi Setup Utility to see if it's set for 44.1K also.

Sound will not play through external speakers

I just bought my IPod two days ago and suddenly it will not play music through the speakers anymore and is stuck in headphone mode. I have tried plugging and unplugging the headphones several times to see if it would work, but it would not. Is there a solution for this?

You can try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If those do not work you likely have a hardware problem.

Sound not playing through speaker or headphones

Hi all
My iPhone 4 has developed a problem - I get no sound at all, not through the speakers, or by plugging in the headphones.
No app sounds, no key sounds, no phone call sounds - nothing!
I've tried cleaning all the fluff out of the headphone jack and the dock connector, I've also tried a full restore.
One other odd thing that happens is that if I open the Music app, it has now started cycling forward through the track listing by itself
Any ideas?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the phone, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, to rule out a software issue.
If still no sound, you might have a hardware problem, and the phone needs to be serviced.

Aspire E1-522 sound stopped playing through the speakers?

Hi All, I have an Aspire E1-522 laptop, refurbished. yesterday the sounds from the speakers just stopeed. i can play sounds through the headphone jack just not the built in speakers them selves. I have factory reset and updated any drivers but not luck so far. Any tips or advice would be great. I use it for when im in hopital, it also has no warranty left so im stuck their. Please help me

Since you already did a factory reset, i think it's an hardware issue instead of software.the only solution is to go to a computer shop and have a check about this issue.

Sound not playing in apps/games without headphones

My iPhone 4 running iOS 6.0.1 is not playing sound through the speakers when in game.
This has been a problem that I have held off on for awhile now.
Here is relavent information:
1. Sound works when headphones are plugged in. Therefore, in game settings are not set to muted.
2. Music, Youtube, phone call speaker work. They can be played without headphones when the play button is pressed.
3. The volume buttons on the side do absolutely nothing, Ringer does not show up.
4. The switch above the volume buttons is not on silent.
5. I have reset the device multiple times. I have reset settings in General.
6. I have tried cleaning the headphone jack with a q-tip and the dock connector with a toothbrush.
I'm hoping to find a solution without having to resort to a restore which may not even solve the problem.
Also way past warranty, so not an option.
Thanks!

Apple TV 2 is not playing through Airplay speakers.

I just installed two Airport express base stations, one as a router adn the other as a range extender. Both are connected to speakers for the purpose of using as AIrplay speakers. My other iOS and iMac devices recognize and play through the airplay speakers except the ATV 2 (firmware 5.2). ATV2 recognizes the airplay speakers, but always playing through the TV speakers. How can I make it play through the Airplay speakers? Thanks

Very funny I had the beta before and Airplay speakers worked only for music and music videos. Now I updated to the latest and now I can use Airplay Speaker for MOVIES as well.
But it works only with my ATV2 and not with my ATV3 (no beta was installed before)

Audio not playing through external speakers

I have all the right connections and get nothing.
I am trying to use my laptop in my home theater room. I have a DVI to HDMI cable for video and then I have a Mini Plug adapter (headphone jack) on a Co-AX cable for my audio which is plugged into my receiver. I went into the menu of my receiver and made sure I selected the correct set up and I still get no audio. I am not getting any video either for that matter. I have a HD Projector with 3 HDMI inputs so I am not sure why I am not seeing anything.
Now I do have an HDTV elsewhere in my house and I hooked my Macbook Pro to that and switched the input of the TV to HDMI and I WAS able to see my desktop on the TV. However, the audio was not playing. I had the audio plugged into the PC Audio Input on the TV but only heard the audio when I switched from HDMI to PC on my TV.
I only hooked it up to my HDTV as a test to see if my cables were bad which they are not. I am just not sure why I can't get it to work in my Theater room!

Its not weird at all. FCP is designed for it's output to be monitored on an external TV and speakers via your Mac's Firewire output (or dedicated capture card, if you have one). If you prefer not to monitor the recommended way, in FCP, go to View->Audio Playback and choose the setting you want.

Green Pixelation on Screen, Sound not playing from laptop speakers

I just had my logic board replaced recently and I am experiencing some of the same problems as before. I am getting a random green pixelation on my screen, mainly showing in the dark areas of a picture. Also the sound is not playing from my laptop speakers, i have to tap the lower right hand side of the keyboard to get the sound to play. Also my airport sometimes gets stuck loading and the time is showing the last time i was on my laptop. If you have experienced any of these problems please help.
Thank you

Return the iBook for repair ASAP. It sounds like the original repair was poorly done. You have 90 days from date of repair if AppleCare wasn't used.

Sound not playing through iPhone 4s speakers in Music - the volume bar doesn't show up.

When I want to listen to music without headphones, the music doesn't play because the volume bar is absent. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?

Try resetting the iPhone by holding the Lock and Home buttons simultaneously for 10-15 seconds or until the phone restarts and you see the Apple logo.

Sound not working on ipad speakers, shows headphones and no headphone is plugged in.

My sound is not working on my ipad2 speakers. when I adjust the sound button it shows headphones, I have no headphone installed. I tried reseting the ipad (turned off and on), reset with itunes, updated os.

Hello,
As per the information you have provided it appears that the audio port has been damaged. Make sure that there is no issues with the port, if there is no damage on the ports, you can get the iPad replaced under warranty.
Resetting and restore would not work as this mostly appears to be a hardware failure.
Thanks and regards
