Upgraded to os x 10.9.5 no sound

Apple Support Communities upgraded to 10.9.5 . Now I have no sound. Red light on in the earplug. No speakers shown in system preference

The internal switch is stuck.
Insert the earphone jack a few times.
Or use a tooth pick and jiggle it inside the audio output port.
Ciao.

  • Upgraded to os x 10.8.5 and sound doesn't work

    upgraded to OS x 10.8.5 and sound doesn't work.
    I had reload the OS before the upgrade and I could play anything on the laptop. Now, the speakers do not work at all except with the startup sound.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    I downloaded ios 6 for my iPad 2 and some of the upgrades went through but not all. It sounds like I need to reinstall ios 6. How do you do that? Everytime I try to upgrade it says I'm already updated

    If you mean Siri then that is only on the iPad 3, it is not on the iPad 2 in iOS 6 (possibly because the iPad 2 doesn't have the Audience chip which the iPad 3 does). If there are other things that you think are missing (YouTube has been removed, and Passbooks is iPhone and iPod Touch only) ?

  • Upgraded Qosmio X500-10T to Win 8.1: Sound drivers for 5.1 over HDMI

    Hello *brilliant* Toshiba community,
    I have recently upgraded my Qosmio X500-10T from 64-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 8.1.
    I have left Windows to download driver updates.
    My setup: Qosmio (HDMI) => Yamaha AV receiver (HDMI) => Samsun LCD TV.
    _The Problem:_ Playing a video file (in MPC-HC) with 5.1 sound only outputs 2 channel PCM.
    Would it be better to install the Win 7 drivers from Toshiba even though they are older and for a different OS, or install windows 8.1 drivers from another Qosmio, or leave the Win 8.1 drivers found by Microsoft?
    This driver issue is made more problematic as I don't actually know what the technical hardware components are in the machine so its not as though I can find a win 8 driver for them.
    As always any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    From my knowledge the Win 7 drivers are totally different from Win 8.1 drivers and I doubt that Win 7 driver would work properly on Windows 8.1 system. However, you can test such Win 7 drivers too. But of course I would recommend you to use the Win 8.1 drivers released for other notebook series.
    As Im not mistaken the Qosmio X500 needs 2 sound drivers: Conexant (chip CX20583-10Z) sound driver as well as the nVidia sound driver (for HDMI)

  • Satellite U400-15E - Upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit now NO sound through HDMI

    I upgraded from vista to windows 7 32-bit, now i have no HDMI device shown under playback devices, i have installed new windows 7 drivers but still no luck. Under device manager/sound a HDMI device is shown as enabled and when connected to an external TV video is shown but no HDMI sound. please can someone help......

    I have found out the solution to get HDMI sound to the TV
    1. Right click volume icon on taskbar
    2. Select playback devices
    3. Right Click on SPDIF Interface and select Default Communications Device.
    4. Connect HDMI from TV to Laptop
    5. HDMI Device should be selected automatically.
    When HDMI is disconnected the HDMI device is shown as disabled in playback devices whereas previously this device wasn''t shown at all.

  • Ibook g3 OSX 10.2.8 was upgraded to 10.4 but screen went black, sound fine.  How do I revert to 10.2.8 with blank screen?

    So here's what happened.  The Apple Store Geniuses generously upgraded my ibook g3 with OSX 10.2.8 to OSX 10.4 via USB port since my CD drive no longer works.  But the screen suddenly went black, sound was fine.  Genius was stumped, but when I restarted later I very briefly got an initial screen plus the music that accompanies an initial OS installation before screen went black again.  I really think that OSX 10.4 was more than my ibook g3 could handle.  I don't recall the specifications anymore and can't check them with a black screen, but capacity was fairly limited.  I went back to Apple a few weeks ago to ask them to downgrade my poor ibook g3 to OSX 10.3 which seems more likely to work with my computer's specifications, but was informed that OSX 10.3 is no longer available for them to load via USB.  Today it occured to me that OSX 10.2.8 is still somewhere on my ibook, and if there's some shortcut I can use to restart under 10.2 instead of 10.4, some switch of OS I can make while blind (since the screen is currently dark), I could at least still use the ibook using the old 10.2 OS.  Is there a way to do this switch in OSX while essentially blind?  If not, my ibook is basically a doorstop I originally spent over $600 on 10 years ago.  I really can't afford to just run out an buy new computers as I am disabled and dying a slow painful death from Lyme disease, but can't afford medication to treat my own illness, let alone buy another computer every 5 years.  Please help!

    Hello,
    Ok let's see what we can do here.
    First thing to try is resetting the PMU. Http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1431 it may make no difference but its good practice to do so.
    So times it can resolve faults. You say they installed Mac OS X 10.4. Did they setup a user a count and did you see the desktop? Did they simply hand it back to you when the installed failed with a blank screen?
    The truth is, in order for you to restore your iBook your going to need the system restore disk. With a broken CD drive this has limitations as you have no real means to install.
    The only option would be to use target disk mode on an external drive, but being an early G3 iBook I'm not sure if target disk mode will work. I am going to assume the shop used this method to install via USB.
    What would be a good solution is to fit a replacement CD drive. They are often cheap enough to buy and relatively easy to fit on a white duel USB model. Replacement CD drives can be brought from eBay at very little money.
    An online guide can help you fit one with the right screwdrivers.
    With a replacement drive, you will be open to better options for installing or even using an apple hardware test disk to diagnose any faults with the screen.
    Suprised you was left in such a situation by the shop.

  • Upgrade to 7.6 now no video only sound

    I upgraded to 7.6. Now when I play a music video I hear the audio, but I can't get a picture. All I get is green and purple stripes.
    I have tried upgrading Quicktime, but get the same problem.
    Can anyone help.
    Thanks

    After upgrade to iTunes ver 7.6, only get audio and no video when I try to play a TV show on iTunes. The video is purple and green moving stripes and patterns. The audio sounds ok.
    I am new to iTunes. Should I go back to a previous version of iTunes (e.g. ver 7.5). If so, how would I get the old version of iTunes.
    Since I synced by iPod with ver 7.6, the iPod got the latest software also. Do I need to somehow go back to the old software version on the iPod so there is no compatability problem with the old version of iTunes?
    Help.

  • Upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, sound doesn't work, reinstalled driver, still not working

    I have an HP Envy dv6, Product number: B6C68AV.
    I had Windows 8 Pro 64-bit running on it just fine. Last month I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and my sound doesn't work anymore. If I go through the "Find and fix audio playback problems" winzard in Windows most of the time it will fix the problem, but I have to do that every time I reboot or wake the laptop up from sleep. When the fix works, it says it made my sound device the default and that fixed the problem.
    So then I think I just need to set my IDT device to be the default, but when I go to manage my sound devices it says there are no audio devices installed, so there's no way to set one of them as my default.
    I downloaded the IDT Audio driver at
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59654.exe
    Referenced here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5327...
    but after installing and rebooting it still doesn't fix the problem.
    Here's what HP Assistant says I have installed in terms of audio drivers
    What else can I do?

  • Help needed upgrading from Windows 8 to XP for Conexant Sound Driver

    I upgraded from Windows 8 to XP and got everything else working except for the sound. I have scoured the internet and tried many versions of drivers from windows 7 ones to XP ones with no success. I tried older driver´s version as well.  After a reboot there is no sound device loaded in the control panel for sound. I have a C845D-SP4327SL  model laptop. Does anyone have any process to make this work that is proven? Thanks

    hi. if you want to that your sound device was in control panel after a reboot , here is only one solution for that, all you have to do is upgrade first  hdaudio bus controler. Driver must be copied first from computer with Vista os. if your xp is 32bit you have to copy this driver from any Vista x32 if  your xp is 64 bit then Vista must be x64 as well.  driver for forced upgrade through device menager you will find in any vista os  Windows--> System32-->DriverStore-->FileRepository-->hdaudbus​.inf9689af2f
    once copied that file from any computer equiped with Windows Vista , copy it on your desktop, next step go to the device menager  and find in system device tab 2 entries UUA High definition audio and update both by forced update. You have to point exactly where is located your driver copied from vista. after this update your sound device will be in the control panel and device manager always and permanent.
    I had the same problem with my xp instaled on satelite p500 and only this solution solved my problem with disappearing sound device after reboot.
    ps. if this solution help you please tell us about it. 
    Regards

  • Upgraded to WIN7. It cannot detect my sound blaster.

    This was my original message to Creative:
    I?was using winXP with my sb0570. it worked fine. I recently upgraded to win7 ultimate and now the sb0570 is not even recognized by the os. " not recognized" as if the soundblaster wasn t even in the PC.
    I tried to manually install the drivers and re-installed the win7 several times. tried every possible stuff that i can find on the internet. still no luck. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
    then they told me to install the?audio driver.04.0090 despite the fact that I told them that I have tried it SEVERAL times. Obviously no luck there..

  • Since the recent upgrade lost my bookmarks and abIlity to hear sound on videos.How do I fix that NOW!

    Since the recent upgrade I lost my bookmarks and ability to hear sound on videos. First I lost VIDEO then thought it was fixed only to find I had no SOUND when the video opened.How do I fix that NOW!
    I have lost a week fiddling with reinstalling and suggested fixes to no avail. I have important bookmarks used in project research and study plans . Can I go back to my original last working version?
    NEED HELP ASAP
    THIS IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT I THOUGHT IS A GOOD BROWSER - NOT SO SURE ANYMORE!!!

    Hi movision,
    Sorry you are having problems with lost bookmarks. I note you had problems last year [/questions/851481] and hopefully this time you will have been routinely making your own backups of bookmarks.
    * see [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    So two steps
    # Immediately make a backup of your firefox profile <br/> (That ensures any auto bookmarks are preserved). IMPORTANT do this first, restoring bookmarks overwrites existing bookmarks. Put the restored files somewhere safe such as your Windows desktop.
    # Did you create any bookmark backups, if so the linked article above explains how to restore those bookmarks
    You may also be interested in using Firefox sync, if you have a second device,as it allows you to sync bookmarks on the other device; and they are effectively then backed up.
    * [[Firefox Sync - Take your bookmarks, tabs and personal information with you]]

  • I just upgraded my iPhone and now it has no sound. Why?

    I've just upgraded my iPhone to the new iOS 5 and now my mobile hasn't any sound. The sound come back only if I put the headphones in the jack but if I take them back the sound dissapears. Anybody can help me? Please I'm terrified!

    Ok, I've just find the answer: the Dock conector was a little bit dirty and I've just cleaned it with a clean toothbrush. You won't believe what kind of moisture came out of there

  • Upgraded to Windows 10 now I have no sound

    I did the free home upgrade to Windows 10 and now the hardware has changed.  
    I have a different audio which "it" says is working fine but I have no sound at all.  Nothing, Nada, Zip. I cannot find the 'control panel' to even begin to try to work it back, nor do I appear to have the original sound hardware loaded.  
    ARGGGGHHHH  
    Help.
    I wish I'd never done the upgrade.
    Also, is there a touchscreen driver so I can use my probook with windows 10 or am I still stuck with the mouse.

    I have the exact same problem. I bought an HP Pavilion All-in-One -23-q014 (Touch) yesterday and installed the free upgrade to Windows 10 during the installation process. Everything seems to be working fine, except I have NO sound at all. I already updated the Realtek driver through the Device manager and Windows says its up to date and working fine, but still NO sound. Please help.
