  • Can't get speakers to work after using ear buds what happened?

    I used ear buds once and now I can't get my internal speakers to work. In "system preferences" sound output I can't select internal speakers. it just has "digital out"

    No, but I thought I saw it at an earlier time and of course with the headphones connected I can hear audio. By the way, thanks for replying.

  • Cannot hear sound through headphones when running mainstage- Mackie 1220i interface

    I am currently running Logic Studio with my MacBook Pro with a Mackie 1220i mixer/interface. I can hear the processed sound fine on the mic channel and the guitar channel when the headphones are plugged into the mixer but I get no sound when the headphones are plugged into the MacBook Pro. I am trying to set up a concert in Mainstage. Suggestions?

    If you want to hear through the headphones of macbook pro you should change,
    in preferences of manstage,
    Go to audio
    Audio output from Mackie,
    set Built-In Output

  • Why can't I hear sound from my keynote presentation while using Apple TV?  Presentation is in 5 days and this is my first time using the iPad for presentation.

    I am new to apple. But a quick convert since I just went out and got the iPhone as well.

    I made a mini movie in iMovie trailer and have it in my presentation. Everything mirrors perfectly except the sound on the audio. So I can see the movie just can't hear it.

  • New headset, but certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not headphones.

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    Hello,
    Hello,
    I just recently purchased a new headset for gaming but have been having some issues with it and the system sound. One major issue is when I call someone on skype, the sound from Skype or the call will go through the headphones, but any other audio comes out of the speakers. I have also notices that iTunes also does not function when I am in a call as well. Some examples would be if I were to want to watch a YouTube video while in a call, the sound would come through the speakers and not the headphones. However, I did find a fix for it. All I had to do was disable the main speakers and the audio was transmitted to the headphones. Another example would be if I wanted to run games via Steam (Garry's Mod, TF2, ect.), I wouldn't get any sound whatsoever from the game. Not through my speakers or headphones. With one exception, Garry's Mod volume I can hear through the speakers while in a Skype call, but I want the sound to come through the headphones. But with TF2, I get no sound whatsoever. If you need any more information about my issue, please feel free to ask. Thank you.

    Hello @LayneStaley,
    Welcome to the HP 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 have read your post on how certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not the headphones, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure that your headphones are utilized when plugged into your notebook, I recommend following the steps below:
    1. Click the Start button
    2. Click Control Panel
    3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
    4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's main speakers). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
    5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
    6. Select the newly enabled speaker device, right-click it, and select "Set as Default Device".
    7. Click Apply.
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • HT1567 Why do I only have sound through my earphones?  Why is it when I disconnect the earphone I have no sound?

    Why do I only have sound through my earphones?  Why is it when I disconnect the earphone I have no sound?

    Try plugging your earphones in and remove them again. Do that a few times ... Plugin and uplug ... and see if the sound comes back for the speakers.

  • I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port,

    I cannot hear sound through my iMac Headphone port, this is a very new computer. I can hear sound through the usb port of the device. How can this be fixed? Headphones are selected as an Output device.
    Please help in any way possible, it is becoming quite a concern as it was just working a matter of hours ago.

    usb does not carry audio at all it's a serial digital bus
    things one connect to usb which play audio act the role of being usb audio cards only 1 audio card can be active at the time so if you connect an usb audio card the internal audio card is muted
    this cause your headset to be muted
    disconnect the usb audio card and you will be able to use your headset
    if you wish to use a headset an an usb audio card at the same time the headset needs to be connected to the usb audio card

  • I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

    I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

    I asked this same question, and just received a response:
    "Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
    for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
    Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
    not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
    DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
    is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
    In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
    Mid-April of this year.
    We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
    In other words, there will be NO update.

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when headphones are plugged in?

    Is there any way to make iphone 6 ring through speakers when the headphones are plugged in?  Thanks.

    Plugging in a headset disables the speaker...nothing you can do to work around that.

  • Why my iphone cant hear voice call from an android phone using viber apps?

    Why my iphone4 cannot hear voice calls from an android phone using viber free call apps?

    I second the question posed by Rysz....if you have ANYTHING set up at all (a mail account, etc) it will communicate with it's server..whether polling for new mail, syncing notes, etc. 
    Also, the 4S is designed to be PC Free, so check your General settings tab to make sure it's not checking for Software Updates.  Also, are you backing up to iCloud?  This will automatically do things in the background.  Check the iCloud settings page.
    And to ensure no apps are running, double click your home button.  When the screen raises up it will show icons of any running apps.  Hold your finger on one of them, and they will start to dance with X's on the corners.  Tapping the X's closes the app.  Close them all, then hold your home button and power button at the same time.  Slide to power off, leave it off for a minute, then power back on.  This will ensure no apps are running in the background.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message when trying to use passbook?

  • Hear Crackling+Beeping Sound Through Speakers (intermittently frequent)

    When my Powerbook is on, I hear this crackling/beeping sound through my sound output (same through headphones as well). It just started acting up a couple days ago and hasn't stopped. It's rather annoying when I am trying to listen to music or even if no sound is coming through at all.
    I don't know if you have recognised this, but if you are in a car or near some type of radio and a mobile phone is being used near it, the radio usually emits a little static-beeping sound because of the interference it is receiving from the telephone waves. That's the sound I am getting from my laptop. This has never happened before.
    Is this a sound card malfunction that can be fixed by resetting it or removing and reinserting? Is there anything I can do? Maybe run some sound tests, I dunno. How?
    Thanks.

    Hi, ljosh. If anyone who had seen your post knew exactly what to do, I doubt that they'd be keeping it a secret from you. I don't know what to do about your problem, but I can tell you that there's no sound card in a Powerbook for you to fiddle with: the audio circuitry is all on the main logic board. There's no room in there for a separate sound card.
    All I can suggest is that you start up from a bootable CD and see whether the crackling continues when none of the software (including the OS) on your hard drive is in use. If it does, your Powerbook needs a hardware repair.

  • No sound through speakers X-Fi Fatal

    Hi just got my shiny new fatalty kit yesterday. I installed it last night selecting minimum installation (recommended for gaming). im not getting any sound through my speakers but i plug my heaphones into the fatalty front bay and i get sound through them. I have just installed the web update drivers but still no sound. I have tried all the jack plugs in the card but still nothing.
    So please if anyone has any advice i would be very grateful.
    Oh and i have disabled my motherboard sound device (AC97)
    Many thanks
    Shad

    Ok the speakers im using are 2 2. speakers with sub woofer and i had the setting on 2/2. . After a bit of playing around i have found that i can hear music/sounds when i select any of the other settings such as 4.,5.,6.,7. but i hear nothing when i select the correct setting of 2/2.
    Please can someone get back to me and let me know cause this is mashing my brain.
    My 2 speakers run through my subwoofer and the woofer is them plugged into the speaker jack on the rear of the sound card.
    Thanks
