Thanks so much! Just had this problem after an update, got fed up with waiting on the phone to speak to apple support & found your suggestion. Hurray.

For 2 years I lived without sound on my older Mac G5 1.8. Four
days ago I bought a brand new iMac 2.93 GHz because I wanted something with ‘sound’, and that 4 GB memory. – When I initially had the problem on my older Mac, I tried every link I could think of to resolve the problem. I asked people I knew who had Macs . . techies, etc. I consulted Apple Support . . checked the Mac forums. I really thought I had blown out the sound card or something. Then, earlier Thursday evening . . the same thing happened on my new computer, just like the old. And I luck out and find your suggestion to check the System Sound set-up. Sure enough, worked on the new one . . worked on the old one. Needless to say, I am pissed big time with Apple.

I have had my Mac os 10.5.6 running for a few months and the sound just disappeared! As a result of reading your post, I plugged in some earphones, the sound came on in them, then when I removed them, the sound was back in the internal speakers.

Go figure!!!

HTH :)

Thanks for this, I wish I had googled it earlier before calling Apple support. Their 2nd tier support told me to re-install the operating system, which I stupidly did. Still nothing. I found your trick and in 15 seconds was back in business. The only problem is that I cannot get the 10.5.6 update to run, it gets hung every time. Back to Apple support. Thanks again, good tip.
