    Oh my goodness!!! I have literally been online with Apple Support for the better part of the day to restore my sound. They were completely stumped and finally just made an appointment for me to have my laptop serviced. I took one last ditch effort to find a youtube even though I knew I couldn't hear it. First of all, thank you for reminding me I could use cc... BRILLIANT! My answer came with plugging in my earphones, and BINGO my problem solved! You're amazing! And why Apple couldn't come up with that simple answer is beyond me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I will cancel my servicing appointment and save some money. :)

    Hi my friend, I tried absolutely EVERYTHING, carefully you suggested. And one more addition: I formatted my hard drive and re installed everything. Even after that, I followed your steps and the sound didn't come back.
    2 important facts:
    1- Before I formatted the hard drive, I had Mavericks (original) since ever and when the problem happened 2 months ago. Right before I formatted, for a little short time the sound device reappeared! It was detected even the sound was not really happening. In that moment the system was very very slow... But I could see it was there. Once again, even it was there, it was not reproducing any audio track...
    2- After everything formatted and having Mojave in a fresh empty hard drive, the sound device was not detected again AND during the process you suggested I could listen CLEARLY the little opening sound after restart ( with command option p r ). For me, it means the is sound card is working fine! because speakers were reproducing fine! Then I can't assume the sound board is damaged, right?
    I have no idea what else to try besides open this machine and replace the sound card. However my feeling says it is a logical problem rather than a physical. What do you say? Can you help me?
    Thanks a lot
    RB

    I tried this multiple times and it didn't work. So I carefully opened up the computer and noticed that the internal speaker was not completely attached. Just a tiny push with one finger, and I felt a little "click". Carefully screwed the bottom back on the computer, and whallah!!!! That lovely rebooting noise is back and all sound functional. There are so many of these videos on here, perhaps they could suggest checking that if nothing else works.

    Hey, for all those who are in despair with the audio still not working despite trying everything in the tutorial. Please be patient and wait for a good month. Keep checking your mac is up to date. A month ago, I just gave up and was like welp guess I gotta always use my Bluetooth headphones but for some reason my laptop speakers worked, blaring music today (I'm pretty sure my laptop stopped working April 15th because I had exams back then :(( ). I was shooketh. I don't know why it suddenly worked so Im planning to go to the Apple store day after tomorrow to ask why and see if everything inside my laptop is alright. I will come back to this comment and re-edit it soon.

      Keep trying! Don’t give up! I know no one what’s to hear this but patience is a virtue!! I think it took me a few weeks but that’s what happened to me and somehow was able to find a way and made this video to help others in my position.
      Try to plug your headphones back in.
      Play a bit of sound through them (e.g., a song), then stop the sound.
      Make sure you quit Preferences.
      Launch Preferences and open the Sound pane.While the Sound pane is open and set to Headphones, pull out the headphone plug from the jack. It will reset itself to "Internal Speakers" and you are good to go.
      It maybe that your audio port has a lot of dust or something stuck in there. Try using a toothpick and poke around in the headphone jack hole to see if something was stuck in there. That sometimes causes the computer to short-circuit and falsely signal to the OS. Remove any dust and try cleaning out the headphone jack hole, then restart the computer. If you have an air compressor to clean it that’s even better.
      Let me know if this works =]

    Great video, sadly it didn't work for me. After some digging around I managed to get the sound on my MBA back. I did the following:
    - When all options in the video fail, try connecting a USB soundcard.
    - If this works: disconnect it.
    - Open the console-app: "console" in spotlight.
    - On the left, select your device.
    - In the search-box top-right type 'audio' [enter]
    - You should get some results, but as audio isn't working, there shouldn't be many.
    - Now plug in the USB-soundcard.
    - Check for errors, marked by yellow dots, en look for faulty ktext-files. In my case, I got two errors pointing to epsonprojectoraudio.ktext
    - If these ktext-files aren't imporant, like a device you don't use or an old device, get the location of the file from the error
    - Open the location and delete the files, or move them to another location.
    - Reboot
    In my case this fixed the problem after days of crawling the web for a solution. So, if nothing helps, maybe this provides a solution.

      @@anandkumarsinha2604 I've replace my Macbook Air two weeks ago.
      For a month following the above post from 5 months ago I would disconnect / connect the cable as I wrote in that post. But that soon became a hassle: one great thing about apple laptops is keeping them on all the time without them slowing down. Performing a shutdown every few days is irritating.
      So after a month I resorting to percussive maintenance: hitting the bottom of the laptop(not to hard) in the area where the said cable resides, a little off the center near the G-key while pressing the volume buttons. When this problem appears the volume buttons have a very slow response. After a few hits the response of the volume buttons turn back to normal and everything would work fine for a few days.
      And yeah, since I ordered my new macbook pro (basic model) the sound never failed. I switched from pro to air because of the keyboard, with the new keyboards I switched back to the pro because the chassis of the air clearly had problems and I don't want to risk the same problem on the new model.
      In my opinion this problem is caused by bending of the chassis when picking it up from one side, resting it on one side (like, on one leg) and a lot of travel with it (my laptops goes where I go). This causes the cable to work itself loose causing these problems.
      But: that's my opinion and a guess based on my experience that opening up and refitting the cable solved all the problems.

    Go to the sound icon,
    Go to outputs,
    Plug in your headphones,
    Go to output volume, (at the bottom)
    Drag that all the way up.

    If this doesn't work for you, I have a MacBook Pro. that might be why, im not sure xx

    I was using google chrome and CZcams glitched and I couldn’t hear any sound. I tried turning my volume up assuming I had accidentally muted it somehow, but it was already up. I started panicking and searched this video up on my phone and before watching I realized my sound was working on discord. Turns out I just had to exit out of CZcams and go back in it🤦‍♀️😂. Good video though, I’m glad you helped other people fix this problem!

    My problem was that there was no input output devices listed and my volume tab had gone gray and showed a circle with a cross through it. Also the computer was running slow and the fan was on full blast. After trying all of your options and contacting apple support (which only told me to do the same things you recommended), I decided to open up the bottom and see if something was loose. I carefully disconnected and reconnected the logic board and also found one of the thin flat cables connected to the fan had come loose. Not sure which one worked, probably the latter but it's running fine again. Hope this helps save someone else hours of troubleshooting. Also thanks for your video.

    • @Viper11220
      @Viper11220  Před 5 lety

    • @Charles-ze6ge
      @Charles-ze6ge Před 5 lety +1

      @@jacktheriot6748 If you have all the same symptoms as what I described above, something has probably come loose. If you are comfortable opening up your laptop I suggest taking a look to make sure one of the wires that connects the fan has not come loose. This I believe was my problem as when I opened it one of the wires was loose. While it was open I also disconnected and reconnected the logic board wire but I'm not sure this was necessary and also it is tricky and you really don't want to mess it up. If you are uncomfortable prodding around in there and you don't have an apple warranty, I'm sure a local tech shop can do it for you for pretty cheap. It took me about a half hour and that includes figuring out that wires were loose once I opened up the laptop. Hope this helps!

    I have a 2012 MacBook 15" - Upon Reboot I heard the good ole macbook startup chime from my computer after holding down Option+Command+P+R+Power... I was very hopeful and excited that I might finally have sound again, unfortunately when it all came back on I still have no sound and red light is still shining in headphone port/jack. In system preferences Audio Output still says Digital Out!!! This is so frustrating, been working no getting the Internal Speakers back for over 4 hours now. This all started after I removed my headphones from the port/jack yesterday, volume icon at the top of the screen only registers when the headphones are inserted, but now even with headphones inserted, I can no longer raise or lower the volume of the headphones(?) Also, sometimes the port/jack isn't red anymore and I still don't have sound(?) Can someone please tell me what's going on? I wish my apple care was still good.......

    NVRAM reset usually doesn't work for me and SMC reset doesn't do any good either. However, this problem occasionally vanishes and I heard the sound normally. I will try the second account thing now however I am not optimistic about it.
    I don't know that everyone has the similar problem but mine usually starts with a walkie-talkie-ish noise and after that the sound is completely gone. A few hours, it comes back. It is like a cat, returns to home whenever it likes.
    Do you think my problem is a hardware problem? I have Early 2015 Macbook Air and I don't want to spend a fortune on its motherboard to be renewed though.
    First Edit (Probably will not be the last): Sound has been fixed without creating a second admin account after the next shut down and power on. As I said, my computer is a cat. It has its own agenda.

    Faced this problem on my Macbook Air 2010 (A1370). The laptop did not see the speakers, microphone and headphone jack. The problem turned out to be that my audio chip, which is located on the charging board, burned out. After replacing it, everything worked. This problem can be solved in a similar way on models A1369, A1465, A1466, since all these models have a similar motherboard layout.

      Mine just stopped working when I turned it back on after the battery died. Before that I was using the Bluetooth headphones as I usually do but when the laptop died the headphones were connected but Bluetooth was still on.

    Okay guys... So i tried everything on the internet. I finally called apple support and they told me to update it but what wasn’t working. Just updating it from app store wasn’t working. This is what you have to do to update it properly:::
    step 1 (optional): you can back up everything on your laptop (they say there is a chance you might lose things but it didn’t happen for me)
    Step 2: shut down your laptop (go to the apple in the top left corner, click on it, then go down to bottom to find the shut down button)
    Step 3: once it is off hold the command, option, and R buttons then just tap the power button (hold these keys until you see the globe on your screen)
    Step 4: let that all load until it shows you to pick a language. Pick one and continue. Then it will give an option pick to reinstall macOS then continue. It should show you Catalina. Go ahead and say yes to everything and let it update
    Step 5: let it update and when you are done, sign in and your sound should be back.
    I am not a certified anyone who knows everything about macbooks, but this is what worked for me and this is what apple support told me to do. I was also on macOS Sierra and version 10.12.6.
    IF this doesn’t work they said to uninstall it and reinstall it. I hope this helps :)

      Okay also It kinda keeps happening to be but I called apple support again and they said basically if your sound won’t come back the laptop is broken :( which really sucks. Sometimes i just give it a few days and it comes back, but it’s random.
