Sound through TV Speakers?

I connect my MacBook Pro to my TV, but now the sound won't come through the TV speakers. Before when I had this problem, I would click Display, then click Detect Display and it would fix, but that doesn't work anymore. What else can I try?

Hello Psmtz
I know the article refers to internal speakers, but also gives some tidbits for external as well. Check in System Preferences > Sound and click the Output tab to see what the sound is going to. You also may need to try to reset the NVRAM as well to reset the volume settings for your Mac.

    Hi,
    The functionality of the mute button is provided by the IDT Audio software so the problem may be that Windows 8 has installed a reference driver that does not contain this.  Often, the Windows 7 version works Ok, so I'd try downloading and installing the following IDT driver.

    After the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

  • No sound through external speakers on my iphone 4s but headphones work fine! When headphones unplugged volume button shows headphones not plugged in! Tried all solutions suggested here to no luck?!??

    No sound through external speakers but fine through headphones! Button on left is not on mute and checked all settings and all fine! Tried all solutions here but no luck! Sound gone before I updated the software??

    You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor.  Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

  • Some apps won't play sound through iPad2 speakers

    I've noticed since updating to iOS 5 and 5.0.1, I've got more apps that won't play sound through ipad2 speakers, but will play sound through earphones though.  Using the same app on the iphone plays sound through the iphone speakers as normal. 
    It seems to be picky with which apps it does this to as Sky News/BBCiplayer/YouTube/Video/ IMDb all play sound through ipad speakers. Apps like FilmOn plus/ FreeAppMagic/ Falling Gems/ Bejeweled2/ FNS Shift2 will only play sound through earphones.  These Apps updating to the new iOS doesn't fix the sound issue either.
    I can use an app that plays sound through iPad speakers, then use an app that doesn't play sound through the speakers, then use another app that does play sound through speakers, so the earphone connection actuator doesn't look like the problem to me.  Maybe some sound drivers may have been lost or deleted with new iOS updates over wifi...?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    See if perhaps this is the reason why some apps aren't playing sound.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Playing QuickTime sound through AirPort Speakers?

    Ive just set up my new speakers with AirPort Express, and it works great with AirTunes. However, is there a way to send all computer sound through the speakers, EG, sound from QuickTime and normal computer noises like new mail alerts?
    Im sure i posted this before and there was a solution, but the thread is gone.
    *nathan

    i'm using the ap express as a streaming audio device. to my dismay...while viewing a music video and Commander In Chief, the audio did NOT stream to my stereo.
    according to the support apple gives, APE doesn't support streaming audio other than that which is going through AirTunes. in other words...no quicktime, etc.
    i tried AirFoil, and found it profoundly disapppointing. the audio lag was far too great to ignore. in my estimation, it's unusable.
    all of this being said, i'm at a loss. i want to watch the movies i've downloaded from the music store and those which i have taken with my own camera on my computer and have the audio stream to my stereo. it seems intuitive that if it's playing through iTunes, that the quicktime video would stream also...but that's not the case.
    if anyone has any further input, i would greatly appreciate it....and i'll post more if i learn anymore.

  • "Popping" sound through external speakers

    I'm using the Apple Pro speakers through an iFire on my G5 iSight and have been getting a popping sound through the external speakers. This does not happen with the internal ones. This topic is mentioned over on the intel iMac discussions board and seems to be a widespread problem. It appears that many different brands of speakers are making the popping sounds. My external speakers work perfectly with my iBook. The external speakers sound much better than the internal ones. I hope there is a fix for this. Anyone else have this problem?

  • Mac OS 10.7.5 No sound through external speakers

    I have had this iMac for about two years with the Bose Companion 20 external speakers hooked up. All of a sudden there is no sound through youtube. iTunes, speakers work fine. BTW
    I also have a MacBook Pro that is about three months old and after a software update yesterday it also has no sound through the internal speakers on youtube only (that I have discovered).
    But I am more concerned about the iMac, where these Bose speakers deliver excellent sound, and I am a classical music fan.
    Any help? And please don't speak in code (I have no idea what "reset the SMC" means). Thank you!

    Click on the YouTube speaker and turn up the Volume.

  • No sound through internal speakers on HP Pavillion G6

    I can get sound through my headphones plugged in through a USB slot but only intermittent sound from the internal speakers. Using Windows 7 home. Thanks!

    Hello!
    I had huge problems with my soundblaster sound card in windows7 64bit. Everyone had problems with their products in -64 bit operating system. Do You have windows 7-64 bit sound driver from manufacturer? 
    There seemed to be very problematic to run the best sound cards on windows 7-64 bit system and those card that work where of porer sound quality. So i had chose to go back to vista or take out my hifi wireles sound card and go with poor soundcard included in the laptop.  (i refused to go back to vista so the extra sound card  (pcmia hifi wireless soundblaster) i gave to my brother)
    This whas when windows 7 was RC so maybe now everything ok?
    I dont know if this problem still existwith sound cards and windows7-64 bit. Did Your system come with win-64 installed or have  you installed it by yourself?
    I should also advice you to uninstall all audio hardware and software on computer, then reboot and install sound drivers and software again. If that not work then maybe something is broken :/
    Hope i helped a bit!
    Have a nice day =)
    B.regards

  • System sounds through internal speakers but other audio through USB Soundcard

    Hi there,
    I am having a bit of an odd problem. I have a USB sound card and when using it plugged directly into my Macbook Pro retina's USB slot all audio comes through the sound card however when using the sound card connected to a USB hub almost all sounds except for system sound come through the speakers (e.g. deleting a file in finder noise comes out the internal speakers or sending an email sound etc.). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get all the audio to come through the sound card or as to why this is happening?
    I have checked system preferences and it says USB Audio Device is the output. I have tried changing it to internal speakers and back again but this hasn't fixed the issue.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup; select the desired output device and click on the gear icon at the bottom, select 'Play alerts and sound effects through this device'.

  • Recording sound through the speakers of a Satellite L750D

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up my Satellite L750D (psk36a-038008) so I can record using the sound that gets sent to the speakers and not just the input from the microphone. (whatever comes through the speakers could be recorded by whatever sound recording software I use). I was able to do this on a previous laptop (not Toshiba) but this one doesn't want to do it.
    In the recording tab of the microphone, I have got the 'Show Disabled Devices' option ticked/checked but nothing else is showing apart from the conexant microphone.
    The laptop is less than 1 month old, does it need new drivers already?
    Thanks

    And what is the source for this sound?
    Do you want to record music from internet radio or what?
    As far as I know Toshiba has build-in microphone and it is designed to be used with communications applications like Skype, MSN or something similar. As far as I know when mic is ON speakers are OFF.
    It works on this way to avoid microphony effect.
    To be honest it is not known to me that you can force notebook to work on this way and record sound that comes from speakers.

  • Morse code sound through external speakers

    I'm getting a morse code sound through my external speakers every 1/2 hour or so on my MDD, never bothered me before. But all of a sudden I'm getting the "ring of death" telling me to re-start the computer. Any ideas?

    Hi, have you blown the dust out lately?
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    And/or iStat Pro...
    http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • No Sound through external speakers during capture/ log

    How do I get sound through my external speakers when logging or capturing using FCP7.0.1.
    Other forums suggest creating a duplicate preset and then switching speakers on in the Quick time audio setting via an advanced button. But there is no advanced button in the quick time audio settings my software.
    Is there another setting elswhere?

    Try clicking the preview button in the log and capture window, clip settings tab. Not sure if you can enable it while you're actually capturing and if you can, it's not recommended. In previous versions of fcp when you could enable this, it would occasionally cause problems with the audio of the captured file. Apparently since the native sampling rate for the mac is 44.1k, it needs to resample on the fly to monitor it, and this can cause problems. I used to get random clicking in the captured audio. Much better to figure out a way to monitor directly off the deck/camera.

    Is Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound Output showing anything other than internal speakers?

  • Can't get sound through my speakers in Logic.

    So for an assignment I recorded loads of stuff in the studios at uni and come back to mix it on Logic on my laptop and I can't seem to get any sound out from my speakers through logic. Speakers are working cause I'm listening to iTunes. I don't know if it's because the channel out puts were sent to the mixing desk or something? It won't let me change that. But now obviously the mixing desk isn't there. Oh i'm confused.
    Sorry, pretty new to Logic and recording anf that, please give me some advice!

    Select the correct Output Device in Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>devices>Core Audio.
