Total Sound Loss After Update

My computer is completely silent after the most recent update (and was working immediately prior to it). I can't get sound out of Firefox, iTunes or even various games on my computer.
Not sure what specs I need to provide. If someone could let me know I'll be right on it.

Hi, after reviewing your screenshot, there are some Flash files for IE that are missing and also for FF.
Download the Uninstaller to your Desktop:

Then download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Then download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
After you have done that, be sure to follow the instructions on the Uninstaller. Use the Administrator account, disable any apps that use Flash, check the system tray for messenger service, etc. Set the Security via Internet Option to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Close all browsers, Run the Installer from the Desktop.When finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. When fully Rebooted, Reboot again( to clear old files) Then Run the Installer for IE and when finished, Run the Installer for Firefox.
When finished, Reboot the computer Once.
Test each browser here:

Check a few websites to see if Flash Player is now working properly with each browser.
Let me know, if you have any questions.
Thanks,

  • HDMI sound error after updating to 10.8.5

    Hi everyone,
    Im using the latest mac mini with 2.3 quad-core ML version 10.8.5 and a small LCD TV as a screen. Low frame rate killing my eyes but that's my only option for now.
    Now the problem: after updating my mac, when I boot it up, sound is fine. After waking up from sleep, it's gone. It has to be the update because I did not make any other significant changes.
    It's not urgent but it would be great if someone knew the solution.
    Thanks

    Updates typically trigger issues with Digital sound that are best resolved through the Audio Midi Setup tool under Applications -> Utilities.  Sometimes zapping the PRAM can also help a newer machine such as yours.  If you have an older machine than 4 years, don't zap it before checking the PRAM battery, which is separate from any battery that lets you run off the mains on a notebook Mac.

  • Lost sound control after update to 8.1.3

    i wonder if anybody else is having this issue.  I updated my iPad 2 A1395 to iOS 8.1.3 yesterday, and have since lost audio for several apps, including when watching video in Cheezburger, Facebook, Twitter and occasionally YouTube.  I can still use the volume switches for the most part (except Cheezburger) but nothing happens.  With Cheezburger, the volume graphic does not even appear on the screen. 
    The Music app works mostly fine as a comparative benchmark.  I have reset my iPad but I am still having this issue.  Please help, this darn thing is virtuall useless now and I can't afford another one.

    I also experienced complete loss of sound/volume from my iPad's speakers following upgrade to iOS 8.1.3 yesterday. This happened in three apps - Music, Bloomberg app's inbuilt text-to-voice reader and iPad's inbuilt text-to-voice reader.
    The issue resolved after I re-booted the iPad. I now have sound being emitted (and volume control) from the iPad speakers :).

  • Sound gone after update - no such file or directory

    I updated my mythtv machine tonight, sound is gone.  I get an arts informational message that "device: default can't be opened for  playback (no such file or directory)
    Sound was working fine before the upgrade.
    I got some alsa errors right after upgrade, just before the logon screen, but couldn't locate them in any log.  I reran alsaconf and it seemed to set up fine.  Running alsamixer gives me just one column, (playback) rather than the multiple mixer columns I had previously.  alsactl store does not save the setting I put in here.
    The upgrades included ivtv-utils; there was something about using jack as a control; I'm still trying to figure out exactly what jack is and how it might fit into all of this, but I downloaded and ran qjackctl, it failed with error messages.

    I'm not an expert, but I do have experience with the cx88xx cards and sound. Mine is an NVidia force 2 board, but I believe it still uses the snd-intel module.
    Do you get sound in any other applications besides myth?

  • Poor sound quality after update on iPhone4 to iOS6

    Any one with the same problem ?
    After upgrading to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, the sound quality during phone calls is very poor.
    The other side is ok with listening.
    The phone is not modified (unlocked and oth....)
    Any advice is welcome !
    Thanks !

    Work in a professional studio and often use my itunes from my iphone 4gs to record sounds and samples. I have notice since the iso 6 update there is very poor quality sound coming from my phone now. It's seems the bit quality is very poor also the volume. I also noticed the songs are using way more power from the phone while playing.... Apple should really address these issues...a lot of  loyal costumers, such as myself use Apple products in the music industry everyday. We have grown to expect certain standards and quality from Apple products and it seems you are taking steps backwards not forwards.

  • No System Sound/Audio after updating to 10.6.2

    After doing a system update to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 I've lost all system sound excluding—strangely—iChat, which still does notification pings. I don't even get the familiar "click-clack" sound when changing the volume from my keyboard.
    The speakers are fine, as I can hear the iChat pings and the start-up tone. Just baffled as to what the problem could be. Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful.
    Other information: I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on a 24" iMac circa late 2007/early 2008.

    I too am having this problem unless I resort to plugging in my external speakers which I don't want to use when I am not at home. I am not being given the option to switch to internal speakers oddly, please help!!!!!!!!
    Another Problem: Time Machine: I am unable to restore anything now. 10.6.2 has a bug alright, this is preventing me from restoring anything on time machine back to any date on there. =/

  • DC7700 can't detect and install sound card after update to Windows 7

    I've been trying to get the sound on my HP DC7700 Ultra Slim desktops to work for a few months now (I'm a teacher at a high school, so I have about 100+ of them to take care of). I've upgraded them from XP to Windows 7, and the computers no longer recognize the sound card.
    I have tried installing the Realtek driver from their site and HP's, I've tried updating the UAA architecture as suggested in other posts here and here.
    In device manager, all hardware has been detected and correct drivers have been installed, including PCI and chipset drivers. 
    Randomly, ONE DC7700 with a unique hard drive worked. I painstakingly checked every single driver installed and found the two that were different:
    "Realtek High Definition Audio" under "Sound, video and game controllers"
    "High Definition Audio Controller" under "System devices"
    Pictures of the driver details for both are posted below.
    I am completely at a loss as to how to accomplish this successfully, and I appreciate any help. Our school is depressingly poor, and without sound videos are completely useless to them.
    Thank you in advance for your time,
    Kris Brackebusch

    Hi, Kris:
    Try reinstalling W7 on one of them that doesn't have audio.
    On that model, W7 should be installing a generic HD audio driver that works and then you can install the Realtek HD audio driver either from the dc7700 support page or the latest one from Realtek.
    You do not need the MS UAA Bus driver, because that is only for XP.
    UAA is included native to Vista and newer versions of Windows.
    I do not recommend you install it in an effort to resolve the issue.
    I have worked on dc7600's dc7700's and the newer Elite 8xxx models, which all have the Realtek HD audio chip.
    Never had a problem getting the sound to work right from the upgrade.
    The HD audio is the driver that Windows installs natively.
    The Realtek HD audio driver is from Realtek.

  • Wine sound issues after update (Arch64)

    I've had Spotify running under Wine for a while, but after a recent wine update it said that there was a "problem with your sound card" and running the audio test via winecfg failed.
    I deleted ~/.wine and ran winecfg again and the audio test was successful... But when I ran it (or any other wine program) subsequently it failed.
    I re-read the wiki and tried running "WINEARCH=win32 winecfg" instead and adding "export WINEARCH=win32" to ~/.bashrc, but that hasn't helped either.
    A few days ago I set up a new PC and had the same problem, so I was expecting to see other people reporting it, but I can't find any mention of the issue, so I'm really stumped!
    Can anyone suggest how I can find out the cause of the problem?

    karol wrote:What do you use for sound - alsa, oss ...?
    I use alsa...  I think!  Although I don't remember specifically having to set up sound when I installed Arch.  The XFCE mixer panel applet shows "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)" in the sound card pull-down menu.
    Since the Spotify instructions suggest selecting OSS in the winecfg, I did so - and didn't really expect it to work, but it was working fine like that for months.  Now the audio test (in winecfg) fails whether I select alsa, oss or jack.
    karol wrote:The most recent change wrt sound involves not autoloading snd-pcm-oss anymore.
    Yes; the problems I'm having occurred after a wine update roughly two or three weeks ago.  The more recent changes to /etc/rc.conf and module loading don't seem to have made any difference to the issue.
    It just seems really strange that the audio test works the first time I run winecfg with no ~/.wine profile...  And it's also odd that it just stopped working suddenly without me doing anything (as far as I know!) and that no one else seems to be having the problem, yet both of my Arch PCs are affected...
    I've just discovered that if I delete ~./wine and never touch the audio tab in winecfg, Spotify works on both PCs.  If I click the audio tab, wine says that "There is no audio driver currently specified in the registry.  A recommended driver has been selected for you...".  If I apply the changes the audio fails every time whichever driver I choose.
    Ideally I'd like to find out what's causing the problem so I can fix it and have winecfg working as it should be, but at least I have a workaround so I can listen to Spotify again...

  • PB crash - total data loss after forced restart.

    Hello,
    Ironically I was trying to back up a whole bunch of stuff the other day to and from external hard-drive (inc 5000 photos!) when I decided to start up itunes I had a message in German saying itunes needed to be updated (the OS was accidentally installed in German by technicians after a hard drive replacement last year, but I was running it in English) the thing is I was not online at the time and it wanted to update to a version dated 2007 so the first alarm bells started ringing. I did not allow this weird update of itunes fearing I would lose all my folders etc. and cancelled it. Then thinking I would eradicate the problem by restarting the PB when I tried to restart it wouldn't let me saying 'mirror agent' was preventing a restart. I left it for a while but then forced it to shut down. When I restarted it all my data / software etc was gone - it was all in German and like the 1st day the OS was newly installed!! (Icons huge, screensaver blue swirl etc) Everything except a few folders. Also it said only 5GB of hard drive - and it is 120GB hard drive.
    What should I do?!! Can I try starting it from installation disk and use disk doctor or something or should I head straight to an apple technician?
    I THINK the OS was 10.4.3 or around that mark.
    Any help HUGELY appreciated! Thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin.
    very worried,
    Nicole.

    ok i just remembered that I changed the name of my home folder - seems this was a stupid idea - i changed it from 'admin' to 'nicole'
    I found this:

  • TV @nywhere Video OK, But sound loss after 40 sec (solved)

    I Have a Problem With my TV @nywhere Master
    The Video I OK at all time But after a 40 - 60 sec I am Loosing the sound,
    Is there someone that can help me!!!???

    I have come across many reports of this problem on the Internet, and all of them relate the solutions second and third hand. Has anybody seen an official knowledge base article from Microsoft or Symantec dealing with this issue? I have scanned both sites and no mention. Since this problem affects multiple TV Tuner cards, I would have expected, some official statement somewhere.
    I have heard various reports that this is a Microsoft Messenger problem, an Norton Antivirus problem, a Norton Antivirus 2003 problem, a Norton Antivirus 2003 without a certain patch apllied problem, a Windows XP / Messenger / Antivirus problem, and it all depends on who is pointing fingers at who.
    The explanation has been that whether Messenger is active or not, at some point Norton Antivirus starts messenger, and subsequently interprets the Tuner video stream as a virus, at the same time Messenger starts chewing all the CPU cycles, and audio takes a dive.
    So what does that mean. If I have a high speed processor, I can compensate for the cycles and not experience the symptoms. Or maybe because I'm using Norton Antivirus 2004, it's not an issue. Or maybe I have a certain mysterious patch applied.
    Would I be satisfied with either MS or Symantec suggesting turning off Messenger scanning, or turning off Messenger. No way! For those who use Messenger as a means of communication, that should not be considered a long term solution. At the same time, turning off Messenger virus scanning is not a reasonable long term solution. Rather than opening my PC to the risk of a virus, I might ditch the whole lot of them including the TV Tuner, if that was the case.
    There is a responsibility for MS and Symantec to give a reasonable explanation / analysis of the problem and offer a long term solution, whether that is a fix or upgrade, whatever, something that their customer can use as a frame of reference to decide whether or not they want to go that route or ditch the lot. Pressure should be maintained on them to provide an official response to this problem.
    I would start with Symantec. What? You can't tell the difference between a video data stream coming from a TV tuner and a virus. Give me a break. Your just too busy coming out with the next version of Norton Antivirus to fix your existing code. That's were the money is.
    As a hot fix, turning off Norton Antivirus Messenger scanning is certainly the fastest and from reports, many have eliminated their symptoms this way. Eliminating Messenger is another story. You can't get rid of the sucker, without sacrificing your first born.
    Again, does anyone have a link to first hand, from the horses mouth, information re this problem?

  • Sound problems after update.....

    Hi guyhh,
    Welcome to the HP Community! I see that you are having some issues with your audio. Part of the problem could be that there are no specific drivers for your model for Windows 8.1. Did you use the one driver for Windows 8 from the download page for your model? If not can you provide me with the link that you used?
