Having Sound Problems After Updates

Post by weezer1000000 »

The sound comes out of the Mac Book but doesn't come out of the speaker it is hooked up to. Has anyone else experienced this?

please confirm that this is "after updates" by downgrading back to the previous version to see if it wasn't there then.

This may also be a hardware issue. There is a tiny switch inside the headphone jack that senses an optical connection. If this is tripped accidentally, often by inserting the headphones cable in at an angle, this switch can be tripped, stopping regular audio output. You can check to see if this is the case by looking inside the headphone jack. If there is a red LED lit inside, then you have tripped this switch. You can reset it by inserting a thin object, like a wooden skewer or paper clip, into the headphone jack and gently pushing at an angle until you trip the switch and the light goes out. If you are good, you can also do this with just an 1/8" headphone connector.
