So my MacBook has recently lost it's ability to output audio through the built-in speakers or another device. I'm quite frustrated as I watch and listen to tons of multimedia, and not being to hear a thing is quite sad.

When I hit the volume up/down keys, all I get is the on screen audio level indicator and thats it.

I've restarted a few times already, resetted the PRAM as well as the SMC and nothing improved. I want to try avoid taking it to the Genius Bar as I'm really not going to have the time to do so this week, and I believe there is a simpler solution.

Thanks.

In System Preferences>Sound>Output is there anything else but "Internal Speakers" selected? You probably already checked that but these little things can be a pain sometimes.

That fix did it! Yeah the output was set to something else.

Thanks a lot. 🙂

Sadly not all problems are so easy to fix but I have accidentally changed enough settings (or the ghost in the machine has) that I always check that stuff first. Glad it was simple 🙂

I like to say thank you also. I had the same problem also.
