Try Terminal:

Use These Three Commands in Terminal to Maintain Your Audio:

osascript -e 'set volume output volume 100’

osascript -e 'set volume output muted FALSE'

sudo killall coreaudiod

Solution 1: Restart the Sound Controller on Mac

Sound Controller is the core component in Mac that is responsible for playing audio files correctly on it.

If the Sound Controller has not been booted or working properly, then you can have no volume on Macbook. To fix the MacBook audio not working issue, you can consider restarting its Sound Controller.

Step 1. Just go to your Mac’s Finder, browse to Applications > Utilities and open the Activity Monitor.

Step 2. Once the Activity Monitor window is launched, search for the “coreaudiod” process.

Step 3. After finding the Core Audio component, select it, and click on the cross icon to close it.

Now, wait a moment, close Activity Monitor and try playing a sound to restart the audio driver.

Solution 2: reset the PRAM on your Mac

Most likely, the essential components of your Mac have not started properly. If there are any firmware related issues that make the MacBook Pro sound smooth, consider resetting your PRAM.

This is non-volatile RAM that stores information about your boot and connected devices.

To reset the PRAM of your Mac, simply reboot your system and press the Command + Option + P + R keys at the same time.

You would have to hold them for a while and release them once you hear the second chime while booting up. Now, wait for your Mac to restart and check if it fixes the MacBook sound problem. I also faced this issue in my call center job career. Here we are using apple devices. Therefore we have all problems solution for all Apple devices.
