Even Mac computers can experience audio problems from time to time. The problem can manifest itself in different ways: the sound may be interrupted, looped, or have background noise. In most cases, restarting the operating system will eliminate errors in the audio system. However, if the problem still exists, we can offer some options to solve it.

Method 1

The first step is to ensure that your playback devices are configured correctly. To do this, we go to “System settings” - “”, in the “Playing sound effects” column the correct output device must be indicated. You can check the sound using warning signals.

Method 2

Find the “Audio-MIDI Settings” application in the “Utilities” folder. Here you can see all currently connected audio input or output devices. In some cases, switching settings can fix audio playback problems.

Method 3

As a fallback, we can also suggest restarting the macOS audio process. This can be done through the “Terminal”.

• We launch the command line. Paste the following command into the application window: sudo killall coreaudiod
• We confirm our actions using the administrator password.
• After restarting the computer, the problem should be resolved.

When the sound does not work on your MacBook, you must first find out what the problem was and then begin to solve it. Some applications are capable of changing sound settings; problems may arise due to the fact that the wrong version of the operating system is installed or the necessary drivers are missing.

The sound card itself may also be faulty, in which case it will have to be replaced, but with most others you can try to figure it out yourself.

Checking settings

You should first make sure that the operating system suitable for your laptop model is installed. If it matches, it's time to check the sound settings:

1. Disable absolutely all external audio devices.
2. Go to system settings.
3. Open the "sound" tab.
4. Open "built-in speakers", check their status.
5. If the tab is not displayed at all (or is not provided on the model), see if there is a “digital output” inscription and what its status is.
6. Change the status of the speakers or digital output if it shows as inactive.
7. Check the sound.

It is also worth checking to see if all programs for watching videos and listening to music are updated to the latest versions: this may be the reason for the problem.

In the settings panel you can adjust the volume. If there is no sound on your laptop, just look to see if it is turned off in the "sound" tab in system settings.

Troubleshooting sound problems

The problem may occur due to a software glitch or clogged, blocked contacts on the audio jack. To fix this, there is a simple setup:

• Plug the headphones into the jack and immediately unplug them.
• Open "system monitoring", find "memory" there.
• Forcefully terminate the "coreaudioid" process.
• Restart MacBook.

When the audio jack lights up red, you can simply insert and remove the headphones or carefully clean the contacts with a toothpick. But the red indicator may also indicate other problems related to sound, so if simple methods do not help, it is better to go to a workshop and take the laptop for diagnostics.

Faulty speakers or sound chip

The settings are set, the operating system matches, and the audio output is not clogged? The problem lies deeper, literally - it is hidden either in the speakers or on the sound card. The chip or speakers may fail as a result of mechanical damage, wear, or water ingress. It’s worth remembering if anything was spilled or if the laptop fell. And go for hardware diagnostics to specialists. In many cases, it is enough to simply replace the failed part.

It often happens that our service center for servicing laptop computers is asked why there is no sound on the MacBook Air and Pro. It is impossible to give an immediate unambiguous answer, since there are many reasons. The most common cause is drivers that are damaged. You should make sure that the sound card itself is connected and that the settings are not lost. If everything is in order here, there are also a number of other more complex faults.

The main reasons why sound does not work on MacBook Air and Pro:

1. The speaker itself may have failed. If it really fails, contact the gsmmoscow service center for help. When the speaker on your MacBook doesn't work, you'll need to completely replace it. Only professionals can do this efficiently and quickly.

2. We cannot exclude the possibility that the speaker cable itself is damaged in the MacBook. It will also need to be replaced in order for the device to work again.

3. The sound card itself may also fail. Before we repair the device, we will definitely carry out a full diagnostic and only then will we begin work. It is impossible to solve this problem on your own. The fact is that the sound card is integrated into the motherboard. In order to fix it, you will need special equipment, and the performer must have extensive experience in solving such problems.

4. Most often, we are faced with the fact that the sound of the MacBook disappears after liquid gets into the device or a strong impact. Any mechanical damage and moisture that gets inside the device negatively affects the further performance of the device. Before we begin work, specialists will carry out a complete diagnosis of the MacBook Pro and Air, since it is impossible to immediately determine the breakdown.

There are also cases when damage to the headphone jack causes problems with the sound supplied through the speakers. Through a short circuit, without any need, sound can spontaneously be sent either to the speakers or to the headphones, which leads to serious consequences.

Water that gets into a MacBook has a very negative effect on the audio card.

If there is no sound on your MacBook, you should check the headphone jack. Often, due to improper use, the connector becomes damaged and stops transmitting any audio signals. In this case, the connector should be soldered. Only a professional can perform this kind of operation efficiently.

If the connector is not damaged, check the drivers. Perhaps for some reason they were not installed.

If you are unable to independently determine the cause of the Mac malfunction, come to our service center. We will conduct a full diagnostic and find the problem.

Any digital technology is subject to malfunctions. This problem has not escaped Apple devices. A common complaint is that the sound does not work on a MacBook.

The malfunction may lie in both the MacBook hardware and software. The average user is quite capable of configuring the software on his own using the appropriate manuals. But if the reason is the computer’s hardware, then this cannot be dealt with without the help of a qualified technician.

If you notice there is no sound signal on your device, find out to what extent this problem extends. Check your speakers and headphones separately. It happens that sometimes the sound disappears in certain programs. This problem can be solved by simply setting up the software. But if there is no sound at all, then there are several factors that could influence this.

There is no sound - reasons.

The most common reasons:

• Incorrect system settings. They could simply have gone wrong, or an error was made during the initial settings;
• Outdated version of the system. MacBooks are released with a pre-installed operating system, information about which is recorded on the computer. If you install an OS version older than it was originally, the device will not function correctly;
• Lack of sound card driver updates;
• If the sound signal coming from the headphones is normal, then the speaker is faulty. There are several reasons for this: water ingress, blockage, mechanical damage;
• It happens that the speaker is working, but the headphones are silent. The external device itself may be damaged. Or the headphone jack is damaged;
• The sound card has failed. The main reason is water ingress. Then you need to quickly seek qualified help.

We fix problems.

Setup. Before doing this, you should turn off any connected external audio devices. System settings will be required. To use them, you need to click on the Apple icon. Select the “Sound” section. There you will need the “Exit” item. Go to “Built-in speakers”. Here you can see the following picture - the built-in speakers are available for selection, but are not activated. Let's turn them on.
