My shutter noise doesn't work any more!

When I take pictures in Photobooth the shutter noise no longer goes off, this also disappeared for when I take screenshots. I don't know how this happened but it's something that I just noticed recently.

What can I do about this?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

(1) First, verify that your Mac's sound is not turned down or muted. If you use external speakers, check their connection and settings, too.


(2) If sound is on and works in some apps like iTunes, Safari, etc., but sound still does not work when using Screen Shots or Photo Booth, restart Mac and try again. Sometimes a simple restart is all that is needed.


(3) If NO apps have sound, reset your PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/26871.html


(4) If some apps have sound but the problem sounds still do not work after restarting your Mac, try reinstalling the 10.6.8 Combo Update as follows:


• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.


•Then download and apply the latest 10.6 Combo Update: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399


• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.


Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software issues that might be causing your trouble.
