Use the latest version of macOS

The first step is to make sure that you're using the latest version of macOS. Back up your important information and then update the software on your Mac.

Unlock the potential of digital media with our award-winning Mac Mini upgrades. Significantly improve the performance of all recorded and streaming formats. Harmonic content and articulation improves, and the dynamic range and frequency response expands. To modify the way your Mac accepts and plays sound, follow these steps: Choose Command→System Preferences and click the Sound icon. Or, Control-click the System Preferences icon on the Dock and choose Sound from the menu that opens. The Sound preferences pane appears, as shown.

Check your sound settings

If you still can't hear sound from the internal speakers after updating your computer's software, check your sound settings.

First, disconnect any external audio devices from your computer. Also disconnect any cables from the USB, Thunderbolt, or 3.5mm audio ports.

  1. From the Apple menu , choose System Preferences.
  2. Click Sound.
  3. Click the Output tab, then select the built-in speakers. If you don’t see built-in speakers as an option in the Output window, contact Apple Support.
  4. If the Output volume slider is set low, move the slider to the right and test again.
  5. If the Mute checkbox is selected, deselect it and test again.
  6. If you still don’t hear any sound, contact Apple Support.
