audio not working on retina macbook pro 13" (late 2013) after sleep

Do you get anything from your M-Audio interface at all? It seems a lot of posts about an incompatability with Mavericks.

My M-Audio FastTrack Pro works fine with Mavericks. There's a problem with audio not working after waking up from sleep. But cycling power on the FastTrack Pro always fixes that for me.

Yeh, seems to be all good now.

I was freaked out when I faced this issue sometime ago. My mac sleeps every 3 minutes and there is no sound after it. I had this issue before with a PC. but it was easy to fix that, shutdown-> unplu-plug the card -> update driver done. Apple Team!!! Please fix this. I can't restart my computer every 3 mins!!!!!

well, it looks like it is still happening to me after a brief hiatus. It only happens when my mbp goes to sleep with my headphones pligged in though. awaken from sleepmode without headphones does not break the sound.

Yes! I'm having the exact same problem. I can even recreate the bug again and again. Hope we get a fix soon.

I have the same problem too. My macbook pro with retina (late 2013) loses sound after sleep for while. I am wordering if it is related to my headphone pligged in during sleep or that I am using Boom as sound output. Does everyone still have the problem right now? Would Apple give any solutions on it as I am not the only one who have this kind of problem.

Have you tried resetting the SMC?

1. Shut down the computer.
2. Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
3. On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
4. Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
5. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
   Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the PRAM

1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

That fixes alot of audio, power, and battery issues.

Also, select the default outputs and inputs for your computer.

if you start using the 3rd party outputs and it happens again, contact the developer.

Hope that helped....

Hey Dusty,

I tried these. But none of the two solutions work in this case. Also, the problem occurs when I have my earphones plugged in and the macbook goes to sleep.

Thanks

So your computer randomly sleeps after 3 minutes? is it exactly 3 or just somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes?

I'm sure you have, but check your Energy Saver settings as well as screen saver settings.

if you can, restore everything related to sound and power to defaults, and make sure you have no 3rd party apps that control sleeping, sound, etc.

at least as a temporary fix until somone smarter than me figures it out, try "No Sleep"

Basically it forces the computer to stay awake, like a Monster energy drink for your mac

I used it when i was converting a ton of videos so i could keep it running overnight with the lid closed so the light didnt bother my sleeping 🙂

If none of this works, take it to the Apple Store. The guys that work at the Genius Bar are always friendly and super knowledgeable. Just call in to schedule an appointment.

Hope you get it fixed.

Same problem happening to my 15 inch retina Macbook Pro bought on Black Friday.

Same problem. 13 inch 2.6/8Gb/500GB.

Maybe better to install NoSleep app.

May be better Apple will tests hardware properly? And will do the good quality as before?

I have the same problem on my late 2013 15" rMBP. It happened once when I first got it, restarted the computer and it was gone. Today, it happened twice in as many hours. Super frustrating, but the sound worked again both times after restarting. Not really sure why this bug keeps happening.
