MacBook speakers not working

I have checked sound settings--input levels are fine and mute is not selected. Still no sound. Any ideas of what is wrong?

Windows, Windows 6

Perhaps to reset NVRAM (PRAM) may help the system, secondary

or lesser issues can be resolved in the process of doing this reset.


• Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

The sequence of 'four keys + power' need to be critically timed.


"..If you experience issues with sleep, wake, power, charging your Mac

notebook battery, or other power-related symptoms, you might need

to reset the SMC (System Management Controller)." ~Intel-based Mac.


IF your MacBook is later M1 MacBook/Air or MacBook/Pro: There

are other pathways to accomplish many more, by another method:

• Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with M1 Apple Silicon - Apple Support
