My volume doesn't work- there's a circle with a line through it that pops up with I try to adjust it- does anyone know how to fix this?

I cannot adjust the volume on my mac- when I try to it shows up on the screen as max volume and underneath it there's a circle with a line through it. Any suggestions?

1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers

Highlight Internal Speakers / Headphones

Make sure Mute is not enabled.


2. Remove the headphone.


If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone

in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.

Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.




3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405


4. Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964


Choose the method for:

"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".


5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup


Audio Devices window

Side Bar

Click the Built-in Output.


Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
