Sound stops working until i restart.

I currently have the satellite a505-s6965. I bought it back in 2009 but last year my hard drive crashed so I replaced it with a 1tb SSdrive and upgraded to windows 7 in the process. I havent had any other issues until maybe about 2-3 weeks ago when i noticed after so long my sound stops working. I can't play videos, music or anything. Itunes wont even show the song playing at all. I have done everything, my drivers are all up to date, my bios is updated. I have tried headphones and none of that changes anything.
However...if I hit the volume up button on the laptop, it will beep through both the speakers and headphones but no other sounds will play. But if I restart it will all go back to working forr so long. Sometimes when the sound works i may sound a little cracked or weird.
Any suggestions on a fix for this issue?

Hi. I see that this question has gone unresolved since Oct. I'm having a similar problem. Also using FCP 7.
I have a video, recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30. I captured the video and found that the sound was recorded too high. There was an audio recorder, Zoom H4, recording at the same time, and it had a much better level, so I imported the .wav file to my project. I spent about 2 hrs cutting the video and the audio, syncing the audio to the video and making cuts between the songs that were played to edit out the between song banter and other stuff.
All seemed to be working fine, and then at some point, I clicked the "L" key to move forward, and there was a loud pop, and the sound went away. Whenever I press the start key, or one of the J, K, L keys, it click/pops and no sound is available.
Any help with that?

My bookmarks randomly stop working until I restart firefox

I can be browsing just about anywhere, and randomly, my bookmarks will stop responding. They're all visible, I can edit them, and if I drag one to the address bar it will navigate to the site, but just clicking on them in the toolbar or menu will not work. It works for a while if I restart firefox, but eventually, they'll cease functioning again regardless.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My PC is a Compaq CQ58, and this same thing happened before over a year ago, I simply system restored it, but I don't want to have to do that again.

Hi
Go to device manager and uninstall the sound driver then restart the unit and check if sound is back.
Try to update the Sound and Bios from HP website.
Let us know how it goes!

External Speakers Randomly Stop Working until I "Test" or Disable/Enable

I'm using a HP Pavillion DV6 Notebook PC Running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1.
External speakers randomly stop working until I "test" or disable/enable them. Headphone/HDMI Audio Works.
Background
-Recently had to do a clean install of windows.
-Went to the HP Drivers Website and downloaded all of the latest drivers.
-I installed several other programs as well (Flash, Steam, Media Player, Browser)
-The problem started
Current Settings
-My deafult device is "Speakers and Headphones: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC"
-Enhancements are disabled
-Bass and Treble are set to 4
-Format is set to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)
-Allowing applications to take exclusive control of the device or not doesn't make a difference (but it's currently off)
Troubleshooting
-The audio works by plugging in headphones or using an HDMI device
-The audio comes back if I go to my sound settings and hit "Test", or if I disable and re-enable the device
Error Messages
-Youtube starts the video for 3 seconds, restarts and sputters a bit, and then says that there was an error
-My media player (MusicBee) gives me this message: "Unable to start playback (Error = BASS_ERROR_BUFLOST)"
That's everything I can think of. Any ideas?

Hi TheBigBoy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having a frustrating time with the sound to your external speakers. Have you tried connecting the speakers to another computer to see if is a hardware issue with the speakers? Do the regular speakers work? What is your product number as there are several models in the dv6 series?
Thank you,

My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly. Restarted computer. Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

My callout toolbar stopped working abruptly. Restarted computer. Still doesn't work - how do I get the tool back?

The tool is called a “callout” note. It places a text box with a leader. It’s been working just fine until suddenly it stopped working and I get an error message saying “desired operation cannot be performed on this object”. It doesn’t matter where I try to place the callout. It simply stopped working. I have tried restarting Acrobat. I have restarted my computer. I have used multiple files to ensure the issue isn’t with a corrupted file. Nothing works. The tool simply stopped working.

Hello everyone my iPhone 5s sounds stop working.i did not do anything it just stop working when I tried to turn on my music player all the sounds is not working I already check the volume and it is not also muted :( what happened can anyone solve my problem please

Hey Kirby17,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are not getting any sound from the speaker, follow this article.
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Iphone sound stopped working after ios 6.0 update

My 4s was working fine until I updated to 6.0. After that, my sound stopped working. If I plug in headphones it works, but as soon as I unplug it stops. When I plug into my USB sync cable it works, but when I unplug it stops working. I updated through user settings over wifi and not through itunes sync if that makes any difference. I know other people are experiencing similar problems. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes rev, I tried the dock cleaning as well, I didn't help me either. I read and tried everything others did-no luck. I'm guessing these are the facts, either it will quietly get fixed on an update or the % of phones with the problem compared to those that don't doesn't warrant attention and is better addressed through Apple by just replacing it..if it's still under warranty.

OS updated - Sounds stops working

I updated my 2013 (Late model 2012) Mac Mini to the most recent version of the OS Mountain Lion this past weekend - now after about a day of use - the sounds stops working. It is connected via the Thunderport to Displayport on a Dell Monitor. Has always worked fine until the software update this past weekend. Once I reboot - it starts working again and then a day later stops working and I have to reboot! Any thoughts!
Thanks as this seems directly related to the upgrade!

I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Macbook Pro sound stopped working

I was listening to music off of iTunes and my sound stopped working all of a sudden. I have restarted the computer and installed all new updates. When I go to system preferences for sound, the built in speakers do not show up. I tried putting in earphones and that works. Can anyone help me fix this problem? I have only had this laptop for a few months and I barely ever move it around...

Yogurt spilled on my macbook air and now sounds stopped working. Pls help

Hi!
So mac and yogurt were inside my bag and the yogurt's lid accidentally opened getting into my mac's charger, usb and headphones port. I tried turning it on and everything seemed fine, sounds and the heaphone port were both working but the usb port wasn't so i just wiped away the yogurt. After wiping everything I could see off, i tried connecting my mac to the power and it's working. Usb port not working tho and the sound stopped working, tried connecting a headset and still not working. Those seem to be the only problems. Right now my mac's open and standing to it's side near the heater to dry. What should I do? :(

Yes, everyone tries the "dry it out" method, doesnt work,... when it does 'work' it works for a while until corrosion sets in. Make a service call.
Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.

Sound stops working, 3 seconds after plugging in headphones

I have a strange issue on my phone where the sound stops working after about 3 seconds (consistently), after plugging in headphones.
I have the latest software update and I don't have any special sound modifying apps. No software I've installed ruined this, it has worked fine before, until about two weeks ago. I've also dust-cleaned the headphone jack.
Without headphones, the sound works great.
Here's an example of what happens
1. I start a video on YouTube / play a song / start a call with someone / start a game
2. The sound works well, nothing is strange at all
3. I plug in my headphones
4. The sound now works in the headphones
5. About 3 seconds later, the sound stops working completely, in all the cases above
6. The sound never returns, until I unplug my headphones
I'm clueless as to what could be causing this. Does anyone have any idea?

I've tried that, but it doesn't work
It seems like a software/firmware issue, since the 3 seconds of working is 100% the same every time

Regarding Facetime on my Ipad. I get started on a call and after 10 or 15 minutes I cannot hear whom I am talking to. They can still hear me and I still have picture on the screen but my sound stops working.

My sound stopped working on my HP dv6-1280us

Its only a couple of months old but my sound stopped working. I don't know much about laptops but here is what I do know.
It stopped working around 10 days ago. At first there was no sound but I could move the volume up and down with the quicklaunch pad and the mute button would go from red to blue when touched. I checked to make sure nothing was muted and everything seemed to be fine.
I googled the problem and it said to do a system restoration back before it stopped working. I tried several times and it went through the process but then when it rebooted it said that it didn't work and that none of the settings have worked.
Then a couple of hours ago I noticed the mute button is now red and won't change to blue the volume slider is not responding to touch either.
Then I saw a post on here that said to go to system recovery and reinstall the sound drived (IDT High Definition CODEC) and I did and it said it did but it didn't fix the problem.
I am lost and would love some help if anyone has any ideas? please?
Thanks
Amy

I got some help from a friend and her advice worked. I thought I would post this for others having trouble
Well I guess you could try this it would not hurt. Assuming you use Windows that is.
Go to run and type services.msc when the box pops up scroll down to Windows Audio and double click. Make sure that the service is started.

I updated my ipad and the sound stopped working.

I updated my ipad to IOS 8.1.and the sound stopped working. My sidebar buttons say soundeffects or soundeffects mute when I press them. On my control panel there is no sound bar. As you can see in this screenshot it is not showing a sound bar to adjust volume. HELP?!

Update: Last night, I cleaned my headphone port & docking port. Reset Network Settings & General Reset all settings & reset ipad. Didn't work immediately & had some setbacks. I decided to wait to do the restore factory default for the next day, this morning. I decided to test the sound before proceeding. My sound is working correctly now & didn't need to resort to the restore factory default. All of the above worked but perhaps needed over night to really dry the rubbing alcohol used to clean the ports.?
sound is working. Thanks so much for your help Diavonex!
