Go into your system settings and check if your output or input device got changed. Then, select the device you want the audio to come out from.

Question

Why does my sound only work in the morning?

Community Answer

Do you have parental controls enabled? If so, the sound might be disabled at night. If not, I'd recommend taking it into a tech-shop; they'll know more.

What should I do if there is no sound on my Mac and a red light at the headphone jack?

Community Answer

Put head phones in the jack, then pull them out again a day later or take the battery in then out.

Question

What can I do if my Mac is connected to something else and won't allow me to use my internal speakers?

Community Answer

You can open up system preferences, go to Bluetooth, and hit "Disconnect." Once you disconnect, you can always pair your device again later if you want.
