Since upgrading to Mavericks, my headphones do not work on my 2013 MacBook Air. This problem is solved by rebooting the MacBook with headphones plugged in. This then solves the problem, but when my MacBook goes into sleep mode agian, the problem comes back. Nothing works with the headphones, can't control the volume, nothing.
Is there a solution to this?
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
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".
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.
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.
This appears to work for me.
So would restarting your Air. Either will fix it temporarily. If you see this reply please come back and let us know if it worked long term or not.
Thanks
It worked. but once i pull out and plug in again, it will not work again.
Why does my mid 2013 MacBook Air not recognize my headphones? I Have this issue since Mavericks.
