[macvoiceover] Re: Mac has lost all sounds

I know this may be a bit far fetched, but have you tried system preferences? Sometimes command-f5 doesn't work, but this method will at least bring vo back. 
1. Press vo m.  This lands you first on the Apple menu.
2. Arrow down 6 times and press enter.
3. Tab once and press the letter u for universal access.
4. Press the space bar, then tab twice.
5. Press the down arrow the the up arrow. If it doesn't work the first time to turn vo back on, try once more. The Skype thing is certainly a mystery, but hopefully this will at least turn vo back on for you! Marcy

maybe, but that wouldn't mute skype, and that's the only reason I knew something had happened. I couldn't hear my friend anymore. :( 
it's looking like a definite trip to apple hospital for my macbook. :(

I don't know much but there is a mute speech button in the voice utilities menu under speech options. If the voice is muted you may need sighted help unless you know what the hot key might be to toggle it on and off. I'm sure there is one for this very situation, but I wouldn't have a clue as to what it is.

yeah, several times. and also did a pram reset. I really have done everything I could possibly think of. it's baffled me. like some sounds work, like the email alerts but none of the others. like syrinx alert sounds, voice over, and the skype call got muted. I really am stumped.

Hello MJ and all:
Have you attempted to restart your machine to see if the sounds return?

it's a mystery.

Have you tried toggling VoiceOver back on with command F5 or function command F5?
