Go step by step and test.

1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers

Highlight Internal Speakers.

Make sure that 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 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".

4. 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.


If this does not help, reinstall the current OS X.
