just restarted my laptop and there's no sound coming from the computer. And the sound icon isn't in the menu bar. When I press F4 and F5 to adjust the sound - it won't let me adjust the sound. There is also a circle with a slash thru it. Any help...thnx
Got a tip for us?

This is almost certainly caused by your output device being somehow set to an invalid setting. To fix this, go into System Preferences, then Sound. Select the correct output device, and all should be well again.

Now that's odd. Two things to check:
1. Do you use external speakers with your Mac? If you do, did they come with software to configure them? Try using that software.
2. Do you use any external audio hardware, such as MIDI connectivity, audio breakout boxes, recording equipment, etc? If you do, try disconnecting it temporarily.
