No sound output on iMac

My iMac has ceased to be able to output sound.  There is no case that I can trace it.

I checked in the system preferences, and I haven't had any changes.  The audio output is directed to the internal speakers, and the output volume is intermediate.

Any ideas on why sound would simply stop working?

Check that mute is not activated?

  • No sound on an iMac?

    I tried to help a 84 year old friend who had no sound on her iMac. I did play with the sound keys to F10, F11 and F12. Then, we sought a system of preferences. My output in the sound preferences for the name and type were integrated, and internal speakers but its name and type of read out digital and digital optical - port. This morning, he sent an email telling me that its sound was working, so I called him and everything back to normal with its system for sound preferences now reads internal speakers and built in. Has anyone ever encountered this situation? If so, what happened, if someone can tell me?

    It seems that the audio Jack was blocked to believe that something has been inserted into the audio output jack. Somehow the seizure became takes off.

  • HP Envy x 360: DIN Wireless: hard to prioritize the sound output

    I bought a pair of headphones Skullcandy tumult wireless on sale today, but have had trouble having sound output for more than a few seconds, here are the details of the situation:

    > the pair of succesffully wireless headset with my system via the Bluetooth Menu upward.

    > when I select them on the Mixer's Volumeand click on the bar of his adjustment to the "Bwoooom" sound to check out, he plays through the headphones.

    > immediately after the closure of the Mixer's Volume, the system deletes the selection of headphones and has by default to the accumulation in the speaker system. The 'Bwoom' and any other its time now through the built-in speakers.

    > keep the open Mixer's Volume does not ensure the connection: in fact, only the system sounds are heard through the headphones. Including the "Bwooom".

    > I contacted Skullcandy and concluded that the product works, but for some reason, my computer is prioritizing its own system of loudspeaker on the helmet of tumult. My computer has Beats Audio as audio system.

    If someone could lend a hand, it would be very helpful, because I think he can come down to the Drivers Bluetooth, or something with my Audio settings.

    Just solved my problem, but thought that other similar problems with their audio devices can be useful to know how I solved the problem:

    I went to...

    > the volume Mixer icon > right click > playback devices

    > set the Headhphones as default playback device.

    It works fine now! He just kept making the built in speakers on the helmet is a reason any. But now I know, and do you too.

  • Bluetooth device not no projection in sound-> output

    My bluetooth (speaker) device indicates 'Connected' in the list of bluetooth devices (in preferences-> Bluetooth system).

    However, I don't see it as an option when I go to Preferences-> sound-> release system.

    Any thoughts why? This has worked in the past, but not at the moment. I have not tried to restart my machine.

    Hi JVogue,

    Looks like you are unable to select your bluetooth device paired as a source of audio output to system preferences. I would start by pairing not your device:

    Remove a device from your Mac

    If you want to remove (désapparier) a device from the list of devices on your Mac, follow these steps:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Bluetooth.
    2. Place the pointer on the device you want to remove, and then click the button which appears next to the device name.

    Note: After you delete a Bluetooth device, you need to repeat the pairing process, if you want to use again.

    From: using a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard or trackpad with your Mac

    When that is done, start in safe mode. This will clear some system-level caches and perform a disk check and repair if necessary:

    Follow these steps to start in safe mode.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    From: try safe mode if your Mac does not start-up

    Once you log in safe mode, that's all you need to do there, then restart your computer as usual using Apple > restart. Pair the device again, and then check that you can select as output. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, all the best!

  • Sound: output device not showing

    With El Capitan, I have only the sound preferences in safemode, but no device output doesn't appear so I have no sound. In normal mode, it shows no sound preferences dialog box. Help?

    Hello BrianM8614,

    I understand that you see more sound in system preferences preferences window unless you start your Mac in safe mode. Fortunately your Mac SMC and NVRAM reset can help restore your ability to recognize its speakers and produce audio once again.

  • Satellite L650 speakers and sound output stopped working

    Hello

    The sound in my L650 just stopped working all of a sudden. It was ok and then nothing.

    When connecting to the headphones, I can't hear a sound of crackling, that maintains the same volume regardless of the volume of system being 100% or mute.
    I don't have any other way to test audio output (no cables hdmi or USB speakers).

    Nothing has been installed recently. The drivers are up to date. Reboot didn't solve it. Uninstallation and reinstallation of its controller either.

    Everything looks fine on the part of the treatment (equalizer and its move from bars).

    If something got physically loose/disconnected/broken inside?

    See you soon

    > I just put in the backpack and was moving, now it works again

    Thanks for the good info!

  • different application to different sound cards sound output?

    Hi, if I place two sound cards with my laptop running windows 7, is possible to direct output to different audio cards?
    I mean for example, the idea is I can play the media player and redirect the output to speakers at the same time, can for example I talk to a friend (Skype) and output is redirected to another sound card I can output for headphones etc.?

    Is there such a possibility?

    Yes, but only if you have an option in the software to select the output device.

    WMP cannot, so you send it through your default device.

    Skype can, so you have to get through the second device.
    Beware, however, implemented 2 audio devices and routing is not for the faint hearted!
    See you soon

  • No sound output to Avi return after the last update CC

    Hi there everyone,

    Am that I the only female victim out silent on each rendered AVI I do since the update to the latest version of AE CC? QuickTime works fine, so I returned to QT in my workflow again (a few CC versions earlier it was QT makes that came out with "drop-outs" and all other types of problems, so at this point I went to AVI) to work around this problem, but it is an obvious bug since the last update. I simply add a comp to the render queue, no matter if I choose Audio 'Auto' or 'On', all AVI's going out with no noise at all. Copies the render queue item, leaving each parameter, as is, but QT to select as output will make it very well with the sound. That's happened? Why even the simplest, most basic things that have worked very well since AE version 0.0 suddenly break when an update is launched? Updating becomes more risky as never before, it seems. Adobe please listen to this...

  • FaceTime does not sound on my iMac

    My ring of iPhone and iPad, but my iMac is silent. I looked through the settings but can't find anything to change for the better.

    I'm going to assume that you have checked each of these facts:

    FaceTime can make outgoing calls.

    b. you don't get calls to an email address or iPhone number corresponding to the Apple code that you are currently using. Calls to any other ID Apple that you may have used will not be received.

    c. the appellants are not on your list of blocking.

    (d) at least one of the callers can call other users of FaceTime - but not you.

    If you have verified these facts, please take each of the following steps you have already taken it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

    1. open the Notifications pane in system preferences. Select FaceTime from the list on the left. The banners or alerts alert style must be chosen - not None.

    2. in the same window, select do not disturb. If none of the three top boxes on the right is checked, then all FaceTime calls will be blocked in the corresponding conditions. If you want to use 'do not disturb', but you also want to receive calls when it is active, check or for both the two boxes below, according to your preference.

    3. If the built-in firewall application is enabled, please disable it. In case you are worried about the implications of this step, the firewall generally useless when you're on a private behind a router network.

    4. If you have installed any third-party 'firewall', 'security', or 'anti-virus' software, remove it according to the instructions of the developer. All these software are worse than useless.

    5. If you are connected to a VPN, you disconnect. You may need to remove some third party software VPN completely to solve the problem.

  • No sound output on Satellite P100 with external speakers

    I have a Satellite P100 and just bought some new speakers. I never used the headset before decision-making and can't get to get all the sounds of the at all. I tried the speakers and headphones, but have had no luck with either.

  • No sound output after redownloading Windows 7 device

    I just redownloaded Windows 7 because my system was so slow and Explorer internet kept stopping and starting.  However, it seems that it is worse.  My system stops and I have to wait for it to reboot again.  Also, I have no audio output device.  I will delete as much as I can so that I'll have more space on my computer.  It is very slow.  What can I do?

    My computer was sluggish and kept stopping, so I installed Windows 7 from my backup drive ordered Microsoft when I downloaded Windows 7 online, this computer was an XP and upgraded to Vista.  So, I downloaded Windows 7 online.  I've had problems since, and I keep trying to get the computer to work properly.  The answer is no to installing drivers for hardware devices.  I don't know much about computers, and I dangerously decisions to wipe right away and start over.  I thought this might work, but it didn't.  This computer is a fact in the store of the computer not HP or Dell.  So, I don't know what to do at this point.  What would you suggest?

    You must have a list of the components... (or can obtain a) if it has been assembled for you in this way.
     
    Main card brand & model?  (Only one piece of information could cover the chipset, audio, video and networking in a single response.)
     
    A look at an invoice.  Look through everything that was originally agreed with you at the time of the sale.  Open the system and look at the motherboard for adhesive labels.
