I hahe recently upgraded my ram (removed one 512mb ram and added one 2gb ram). Then sounds were good. but after software update my mac lost sound? i tried to reset PRAM but nothing. Can you please help? ———-Update 17/01/10—————— yesterday my sound card in sys prefs shown as working, after i downloaded Mac OS X Combo update (today) the sound card were not shown even in sys profiler??
Hi! I’d reset the PMU (with power off and connected to AC, hold the power button in for about 10 seconds until you hopefully hear a tone). I’ve seen machines that produced no sound suddenly function again once the PMU was reset.
Ralph, jacks - dont work, speakers - dont work sound card - fine.but it is nt working. nothing is helping.
Check in system preferences that the sound is not muted, might be simple as that.
I am having the same problem after upgrading to 10.5.8 on a G4 PowerBook. The sound is a sometimes thing…whether it is sound through my stereo system, my sound stick system or the built-in sound of the computer…it is on again off again situation. Has anybody figured this out yet?
I reinstalled 10.5.8 SEVEN times in order to trouble shoot the G4 Titanium sound problem. I tried every tip listed on the internet with toothpicks, headphone jack, PRAM and PMU. I discovered that 10.5.7 works JUST FINE so rolled back until I can find a solution. The 10.5.8 combo does something with Core Audio that is beyond me but hope someone can help. THIS IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM THAT APPLE HAS IGNORED. You don’t need to replace your motherboard. Just rollback to 10.5.7 and the problem is no more. But you miss all the software that runs on 10.5.8. I don’t know how or where to report this to Apple. I hope someone helps out with this as it is a big problem for many.
Lost sound to mac os x 10.5.8 as well as my itunes…the latter reading error -200. I can watch videos but cant hear them…I Tried to download new sound driver, but cannot find one that works with this system…Checked my input and output, they appear fine. Can anyone help? Plzz
