Sound Not Working

Hi everyone,


I have a MacBook Air early 2015, the sound is not working. It sometimes turns back on when I restart the computer but not really. It usually it comes up with no input or output devices found when I try to adjust the sound in the settings. Any advice would be appreciated.


Kind Regards

Ana



MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  3. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
  4. Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.
