Have you checked the basics ... like,

  • Do you have Mute enabled?
  • Is the volume control all the way down?
  • In sound settings, if there are multiple outputs listed, is "Headphones" selected as your output?
  • In Audio Midi Setup, does the "Built-in output" show a headphone icon, and is it selected?


Also, are you using regular headphones with a 3.5mm stereo plug, or are you using USB headphones?
