![]() I attempted to reset the PRMC and SMC with no luck. I had seen the red light a few times during this process and heard a repetitive clicking noise when headphones we’re plugged in. I have read countless internet entries on solving the fault and have tried numerous times to plug/unplug headphones. I attempted to use the key buttons to add/decrease volume but am met with a disabled volume sign. As soon as I couldn’t hear any output from the external speakers I instantly removed them only to find that my Mac has now disabled the volume altogether. It updated to the most recent version of Yosemite, though this to me was not the cause of this problem. Hi, I have experienced this same problem when I tried to plug in some external speakers to my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). This is a hack I know but the alternative is a trip to apple store with some $$. – if it still doesn’t appear then I’m stumped – when “Internal speakers” appears, make your hack permanent (solder / tape up / whatever) – if no “Internal speakers”, try the other wire – hold for 5 seconds while checking the list ![]() – touch one of the other two bare wires against the “common” wire – establish which is the “common” wire – its normally connected to the casing but will conform to a standard so google it Try a bristled toothpick from the pharmacy.Įlse the contacts inside the jack are overstressed so no longer contacting (shorting) so Mac assumes something is plugged into it so drops “Internal speakers” from the list. Maybe the internal contacts are dirty or gummed up a bit. If you have any other methods or tricks at restoring audio that is not working on a Mac computer, share in the comments below! Just remember if you experience this, it’s no cause for panic, it’s a simple fix. Occasionally, the same situation occurs randomly after installing an update to MacOS as well. This was first reported a while back by early adopters using beta releases of various MacOS versions, but it still seems to randomly happen even with installing the latest releases of MacOS from Mac OS X Yosemite onward with a wide variety of Macs. Usually simply selecting appropriate audio output in the Sound settings of System Preferences in sufficient, but sometimes you may need to go further and toggle a physical connection in and out of the headphone jack The above two tips should restore audio and sound output to a Mac. The audio should now be playing through the Mac built-in speakers, if it’s not then return to iTunes to start playing the song again.Now pull out the headphones from the headphone port on the Mac.Open iTunes (or any music player) and starting playing music or audio.Connect headphones to the headphone jack on the Mac.If the above trick failed to return your sound and audio to a Mac, then try the next tip, which requires a set of headphones or some other speaker system: Method 2: Fix Missing Mac Audio / Sound with a Connect & Disconnect from the Mac Headphone Jack Interestingly enough, the reverse situation also can occur, where a Mac is connected to a TV and there is seemingly no audio output, at least until HDMI has been selected as the proper sound output channel. ![]() This seems to happen most often with Macs that have used HDMI output to a display or TV which has speakers. Why does this happen? It’s probably a simple bug where a different audio output channel gets selected or chosen during the installation or update process. Do note that you may need to first choose “Internal Speakers” and then select the external speaker or headphones to get the audio output to work again as intended. * If you have external speakers or headphones hooked up, you’d want to select those instead.
