Unable to hear sound on my HP w2408h monitor using imac mini

So I have a new mac mini. My monitor is an HP w2408h, built in speakers and has hdmi input. I connected the mac mini output cable to the monitor but no sound. Once removed, the only sound is coming from the mac mini. I get video but no sound through the monitor.

Found this advice on a past post, applied it and voila! Sound works good via monitor.
Thank you Alex Bayati!!
"Open Audio Midi Setup.app
Plug your HDMI cable into mini
Right click on HDMI and click on "use this device for sound output"

i m unable to hear sound while playing games .... please help

Hi,
I was having the same problem as you were my Nokia.
Make sure that (in settings) your "Aplacation-sounds" are turned on.
In fact, make sure ALL sounds are turned on, just in case.
Hope this helps

Unable to hear sound when playing Music Sampler from website

Hi
I am unable to hear any sound when trying to listen to music samples on Amazon (for example) and also other websites. I have enabled Firewall to all the internet player, which does launch and start playing but there is no sound.
The volume is definately up on the speakers and I have tested Windows Media Player and it plays radio and other music on my pc perfectly well. So I am unsure as to why I cannot hear the music samples from websites now (I have done in the past).
An example of a link which has music sample is http://www.amazon.ca/Madeleine-Peyroux-Careless-Love/dp/B0002NRRAG
Please can you let me know your comments about this problem.
Thank you

Hi
Did you check if the Wave volume control in the Sound and audio devices was set to higher level???
This control is responsible for the sound volume of any music files.

Unable to make sound from Keyboard come through monitors.

Basically I have purchased the M-Audio Oxygen 49 Keyboard and I have it plugged in through my USB connection on my Macbook where the input connection is being picked up fine through Logic Pro. However, I want to direct the output sound to go through my Firewire interface to a pair of monitors, but instead the sound just comes out through my Laptop Speakers.
CAN ANYONE HELP?!!
I have set the input - under 'System Preferences' - to come from the 'Line In' port, and the Output to go through my interface.
Is there an option box in Logic that I need to access to fix it or can it not be done?
All suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Just choose your Audio Interface in Logic->preferences->Audio->devices and you will hear sound.
Your USB-Midi keyboard is not producing any sound, it just generates Midi events - all the Audio is produced inside Logic so fiddling around with your System prefs will not do you any good.
So select a Software Instrument, play your keyboard and you'll be fine. The getting started guide might give you a further insight into the basics of Logic.

I cannot hear sound from my computer without the use of a headphone

My Macbook Pro is just over a year old and I am having trouble with the sound and speaker system.
The problem arises when a headphone is plugged in I hear sound, but when they are removed I am not hearing anything and the volume button on the keyboard is inaccessible. There is a circle and a stroke across showing up for the controls.

Is there a red light in the audio output port? If so, the internal switch is stuck. Insert the headphone jack and press the volume key and withdraw the headphone jack. Any difference?
Ciao.

HP Pavilion dv6 speaker light stays red, unable to hear sound

I have a HP Pavilion Dv6 Notebook PC Product # QE071UA#ABA. The light on the speaker button (F11) stays red when I tap on it, but I can see the sound bar and icon in the center of the screeen. I am unable to use the mouse to adjust sound. When I hover over the speaker Icon on the toolbar it says that no speakers or headsets are plugged in. When I click on the icon, It tries to trouble shoot the problem, but itc an not detect the problem. I have shutdown the laptop. unplugged the AC and battery, held the power button down for 60 seconds, plugged the AC and battery back in and restarted the computer. I have also ran a system restore back to before a critical update on 8/27/14. So far nothing has helped. The AMD high definition audio device states that it s working properly. Laptop has Beats Audio. Using Windows 7.
Thank you for the help.

Hi,
The AMD driver is just related to audio over an HDMI connection - for your main audio through the internal speakers or headphones, this is provided by the IDT HD audio driver, so try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52658.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device ( if it's listed ) and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Unable to hear sound via usb headsets after 10.10.2 update. Any advice? Thanks!

We just updated our school iMac lab to 10.10.2 and now several machines will not play the volume through headsets while on System Preferences. We have plugged/unplugged and made sure that usb is selected within system preferences. Sometimes, when we go into an app or website that USES sound, it will then work! Unfortunately we have high-stakes testing happening over the next couple of weeks and we need to be able to test the sound prior to taking the test.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

sorry, lost track of this thread for a bit.
you need to figure out which preference files in the main account are causing the problem. the one that i suspected is not it. I don't know which one it is, sorry.
maybe somebody else does.
one thing you can always try is the nuclear approach. move the whole folder /users/username/library/preferences to the desktop and log out/in. that folder will be recreated and all the files inside will be recreated with default values when system needs them. see if that fixes the issue. if it does you can start moving the files you need from the preferences folder on the desktop back to the one in the library. you'd need to log out/in for some of them. this is pretty time consuming so I would first see if someone else has another idea.
in the worst case scenario you can always migrate to a new user account.

Unable to hear sound from music video (ipod touch)

Hi all,
I have uploaded the video to ipod touch. But I could only watch the video and could not listen any sound from it. Please advise if I have to convert the file before I upload it.
Thank you.

If Carolyn's advice does not achieve the desired result, try a PRAM reset:

We are unable to hear volume when apple tv is in use

There is no volume when apple tv is in use. What to do?

Welcome to the Apple community.
We really could do with a little more information about your setup before we can give you any advice.
However to begin with you may wish to check settings> audio and video> audio out, as well as the Dolby digital setting, try toggling between the options.

I carnt hear my message tone,the sounds it makes when the phone locks and opens.Also i am unable to hear my music playing from my phone but my alarm and ringtone are working.Can anyone help

i carnt hear my message tone,the sound it makes when the phone locks and opens,also i am unable to hear music when playing from my phone but my ringtone and alarm tone work.Ive made sure the silent button is not on,and the volume button on the side of the phone is just showing it blank instead of it going up and down.To try and fix this i have reset my settings and restored my phone,but now its just skipping the music i have purchased from itunes when in a docking station which is now another problem i have as well.Can anyone help????

Hello dbrookes,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like even though the Mute switch is not on, sounds are not making the, well, sound they should, and the volume buttons make a blank volume indicator appear on the screen that does not show the volume level.
I wanted to recommend a couple of things.
First, I would reset the phone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not resolve the issue, then you may want to try backing up to iTunes, and restoring the iPhone again but this time do not restore the backup and set it up as new to see if the issue persists without the previous configuration.
Just incase you need it, this article will help with that:

No sounds, unable to hear anything during calls

2 weeks ago my phone stopped making sounds , and I couldn't hear anything during calls Only if I used speakerphone. I sent my phone away to get fixed and received it back a Week later having been 'fixed' with a note saying the problem was due to a corrupt file , I don't download any ringtones which it said could have caused it. I only use it for normal Internet, emails, facebook, bbm etc. 2 weeks on and its happened again although This time it won't even work on speakerphone ! I am really annoyed about this and can't Bear to be without a phone again if I send it away to get fixed . Has anyone else had this problem ? And is it possible to get the phone replaced , its still under warrenty. Thanks to anyone Able to help me

If the original problem was due to a corrupted file, I would suggest upgrading the os before replacing the unit.
