MACBOOK AIR~SOUND PROBLEMS

I have a macbook air and been having a problem with working my sound for the past hour

i had earphones inside them and took them out quick. I researched what i could do to help my problem and they said to let music run through and slowly take the earphones out from the earphone jack. However still nothing had worked! Can someone please help?

MacBook Air, iOS 10

Go step by step and test.


1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers

Highlight Internal Speakers.

Make sure that Mute is not enabled.


2. Plug in and 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 digital mode.


3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18761


4. Reset SMC.

Choose the method for “If the battery is nonremovable”.

Side Bar

Make sure that box is not checked under “Mute”.

Make sure that Format is set at 44100.0 Hz.

Right click on the Built-in Output for available options.
