Why does the sound to my MacBook Air stop working after it wakes up from sleeping?

When I leave my headphones in the headphone jack and then close the computer to sleep, when it wakes back up the sound will not work.
It doesn't work with the headphones in or out, it is just completely disabled. I tried muting and unmuting and and toggling the volume but the only thing that works is restarting the computer.
Obviously, the sound works after restart but it is an inconvenience due to the tone on restart which is not the greatest noise when trying to work with a sleeping baby in the house (Which is why I use headphones in the first place.)
Any help is much appreciated.

Plug in the headphone and remove it

Remove the logitech mouse receiver if you have one.

  • I have pluged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?

    I have plugged a portable battery to the USB and my macbook pro stopped working after that, right before it shut down there was a message on the screen that said something like " USB device is withdrawing so much power, please disconnect and connect again?
    if the device I connected have caused this, shouldn't the macbook itself have some type of protection that should prevent this from happening.
    because when I took it to an apple certified maintenance shop, the guy said that now it could only run while connected to the power. it won't run on batteries. and that I have to change the motherboard.
    can I just replace the damaged part only, would apple consider this as a design issue and they could pay for it, or should I just buy a new motherboard for 800$.
    Help.

    BB1B2,
    The problem is in finding a tech shop that will/can do board level repairs on Macs. They are few. And I certainly wouldn't spend $800 on a new logic board - I would replace the computer if I had to pay that much!
    You could call around to a few repair shops and see if they feel competent to isolate the problem and do a board level repair - but I'm afraid, in the end, that your search will be futile.
    Sorry,

  • New macbook air (OS X) won't wake up from sleep

    My brand new macbook air running on OS X Mav will often times not wake up from sleep, causing me to have to force it to restart in order to be able to do anything. Once it's awake it works perfectly until it falls asleep again. Any tips on things I should try?

    Failure to wake from sleep is not normal regardless of the Energy Saver settings.
    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

    What generation MacBook Air? You might start here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1736638?start=0&tstart=0
    Apple will fix it. No pricing without making an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. Usually an Authorized Apple Repair Store can do it with a faster turn around time and less expensive pricing.

  • External sound output on Macbook Air stopped working

    Two months ago, my Macbook Air went silent.
    I tried every trick I was suggested, including upgrading to Mountain Lion OSx , after which sound came back for a few day then disappeared again.
    Their is no external speakers listed under <system preferences / sound / output>
    Internet is full of this complains, I mean it is not regional and limited to a particular version of hardware/software... complains are coming from everywhere across the world since 2008.
    Unfortunately tech support at Apple appears to have no clue as neither hardware change nor software update / upgrade doesn't seem to solve the issue permanently. But they still replace parts and software for some reason, just to drive people crazy later.
    I am confident that this issue has already been told to design team , the problem was known for years after all.
    What is this? Does Apple expects people to trash their computers when this happens? and get a new one? Is this because Apple asks new customers if they want to recycle their old computers with them?
    You probably think I am an Apple hater , I am not. I like their products but I hate their tech support, I am sick and tired of listening to so-called geniuses ,  bunch of untrained high school kids with a lot of BS.
    Only hope I have left is, somehow, there maybe someone out there who already solved this problem... Are you there?
    MacBook Air specs :
    Processor  2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8
    Other Apple products I use together with this Mac :
    Magic mouse
    Apple TV latest
    iPad latest
    iPod touch 4th gen.

    I finally found the solution,
    the solution itself actually explains why Apple was so silent about this issue
    because every macbook that was sold over the last 5 years was defective ,
    it will probably cost Apple $100s of millions to recall them
    It is the Audio Board Flex Cable, Part #: 922-8380
    this cable goes bad quickly,
    it is defective because this is strickly a design issue
    I opened the macbook and replaced it myself,
    all looks fine now

  • Why does the sound on my MacBook pro turn up automatically?

    I recently did a small update to my MacBook Pro.
    Everything was fine until my volume went up automatically, and I could not turn the volume down.
    The only way I can turn the volume down is if I close my computer and open it again.
    I do have an Apple TV, I don't know if this has anything to do with it. The remote for the Apple TV was not touching anything when the volume automatically shot up.
    How do I get this problem to stop?

    Hello bdockery
    Try turning off the IR sensor if your MacBook Pro has one. Check out the steps in the article below to get that sorted out and see if it starts to happen again.

  • The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working.

    The internal camera on my macbook air stopped working. The camera is non available in settings also. Please help.

    Check if it is a hardware issue. If it is take the MBA to an Apple dealer.
    Apple menu / About the Mac / More Info / System Report.
    On the left, under Hardware, click on USB. The right side will show the USB Device Tree. Check to verify the camera is listed. Should be called Built-in iSight. If it is not listed, take the computer in for a full diagnosis.
    If the camera is listed, click on Launch Pad then click on Photo Booth. Do you see anything?

  • My macbook air stopped working

    My macbook air stopped working just a few days ago, when I press the power button I get the startup sound and a white screen, nothing more.. No loading indicator, no apple logo.
    As holding the option key when booting didn't work and I didn't got the startup drive selector I removed my HDD and tried again, this time I could get to the startup disk selector screen and selected my repair disk.
    So I think it's an problem with my HDD, I reinstalled the HDD and rebooted with pre-selected startup disk; the repair disk. And still I don't see my HDD, not in the disk utilities.
    Anyone who can point me in the right direction of mounting the HDD again to repair it? Or can I put it with the trash?

  • My macbook air stopped working suddenly and started beeping no backlight ...just beeping

    my macbook air stopped working...and started beeping...how do I recover...no backlight ....just beeping

    three beeps in a row?  That indicates the RAM is bad on the logic board.
    verify the scheme of the beeps and report back.
    3 beeps = RAM is bad
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable

  • The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?

    The sound in my IPad is not working after I downloaded the new iOS 7. I tried to reset the IPad to no avail. Could anyone be so kind to help me?

    I"m going to make the presumption that you've checked the volume and that you don't have it muted. One thing some have suggested is to go into the settings and reset all settings.
    It is kind of a drag because you wil have to retweak everything but it's helped for some.

  • The sound on my laptop has stopped working entirely, with and without headphones.  What should I do?

    The sound on my computer has stopped working.  I have searched through countles google entries to try and figure out the problem but I can't find anything remotely useful.  I never spilled any liquid or anything on my computer.  I was just searching through youtube and when I clicked a video there was no sound.  Then I checked iTunes and tried to play some music, still no sound.  I played around with the preferences and volume control, still no sound.  If you have any advice please help.  Going to the apple store is so expensive and I don't have the time or money.

    Did you try resetting PRAM and SMC?
    Is there any red light visible in the headphone port?
