Hi Cher Bell,
Re: why did my mac sound suddenly disappear?
We don't have enough details to say for sure..
Apple Support has articles online that may help troubleshoot:
If you can’t hear sound from your Mac speakers – Apple Support
Control access to the microphone on Mac – Apple Support
Or
If you are streaming the audio:
Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference - Apple Support
________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you still need help:
Wondering which app you were using, and what you were dong on the app, when the sound suddenly disappeared.
and
whether ythis is sound you make (microphone) or sound your receive (speakers.
and
whether or not the sound returns ok if you restart your Mac
and
which Mac model (year) you are using. Apple icon > About this Mac >
For overall sound disappearing in all apps:
You might want to check the sound level settings:
Eg: Apple icon (in top menu bar) > System Preferences > Sound > Output / Input
And,: If the app you were using was not from Apple (eg: Zoom),
You might want to check whether that app has permission to access your microphone.
Eg: Apple icon (in top menu bar) > System Preferences > Privacy and Security > Privacy
