I don't see the beginning of this thread here, but have you plugged in a headset? sometimes, this can magically fix issues like this. it is most likely a hardware issue though since resetting the pram didn't fix it.

You guys rock. unfortunately no cookies today lol :( ----- Original Message ----- From: Ignasi Cambra To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 7:17 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Mac has lost all sounds Hi,In the worst of cases, remember you can reinstall the OS from the install DVD, without erasing your home folder with your documents etc. This would most likely solve the issue.

Hello MJ and all:Have you checked the sound effects tab in sounds which can be found in System preferences?Is the slider all the way up to 100%? What is the device in the pop up menus set to?On Aug 23, 2009, at 9:51 PM, MJ wrote: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.----- Original Message ----- From: patrickneazer To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 2:45 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Mac has lost all sounds Hello MJ and all:Have you attempted to restart your machine to see if the sounds return?On Aug 23, 2009, at 8:42 PM, MJ wrote:yeah I did that, several times during that process. but I know its more than vo just getting knocked off with the skype sound being lost and the syrinx sound not being heard.it's a mystery.----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Baxter" <markbaxter38@xxxxxxxxx >To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 1:18 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Mac has lost all soundsHave you tried toggling VoiceOver back on with command F5 or function command F5?Mark BurningHawk Baxter Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 MSN: BurningHawk1969@xxxxxxxxxxx My home page: http://MarkBurningHawk.net/Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.comManage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below.//www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxwith 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverTake good care and I wish you enough.
