Not sure if my sound is broken om my MacBook Pro or not but nothing I do gets the sound back. Any suggestions? Test I can do to work out if it needs repair? can this be fixed by me? Thanks in advance ::-)
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Start by checking if sound is available when headphones are plugged in.
If it is, look down the headphone jack hole and see if there's a red light showing.
Reset the PRAM.

If that does not work, check the audio output port if there is a red light. That means the internal switch is stuck and needs to be tripped. Inserting an earphone jack a few times may do it. If not, insert a thin probe and jiggle it inside.
Ciao.
Thanks for your help but I discovered the problem on my own. After preforming a PRam start and hearing the start up tone I figured my sound was OK just turned off some how. I went to preferences > Output and discovered the LogmeIn software I had updated the other day somehow high jacked my sound. I just switched it over to Internal Speakers and hey presto SOUND!! Yay! :-)

Still having the problem...
The App I purchased only gives me sound using the earphones. I've tried put the earphones in and out a few times but still only get sound with the earphones. It is funny though as I get sound when using other Apps. I'm a bit scared to put something down the earphone hole/plug in case I damage the ipad. Any other suggestions as I'm feeling very helpless and am very technically challenged.
You said iPAD. That hardware is alien to me. I do not have one and never used one. I suggest that you post your issue on the iPad forum. There you should find a knowledgeable audience.

Thanks for your help - I'll try the iPad forum. Told you I was technically challenged as I thought I was on the iPad forum - lol
