No sound out after wake up in Mavericks

I have updated to Mavericks three days ago.

But I find that there is no sound output (headphone &speaker) after sleep, even though for 1 second's sleep.

Everytime I need to restart the computer to obtain the sound again.


Someone list the following suggested solution, but it actually does not work:


"

Close all windows and quit all applications.


Click "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.


Select Computer, then Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences


Open "Audio" folder.


Right click these two files and select "Move to Trash".


com.apple.audio.DevicesSettings.plist

com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist


Close the window. Restart the computer.

"


I really really hope someone can help me to solve this problems.


Many thanks!

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Also had the same problem here. Macbook Pro late 2013. Do you guys have parallel desktop installed? My Macbook pro works perfectly fine untill I install flash player in Parallel Desktop (windows 7 in Parallel). After uninstalling the flash player plugin in Parallel the sound problem goes away. Disabling the flash player plugin in chrome://plugins also works for me too.


Can you guys try diabling the flash plugin to see if it can solve your problem? I find that there is a bug report on the same issue in the Chrome issue tracker as well:https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=160920

Same issue ... after Mavericks update ... no audio on MacBook Air after sleep. Also, gMail would not recognize being connected to WiFi.


Both issues RESOLVED for me by an Apple guy over the phone ... do a hard shutdown/reset by simultaneously pressing "Shift" "Control" "Option" keys with your left hand and at the same time pressing the "Off" button in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard. Worked for me. High 5's all around.
