internal speakers not working

my speakers are not working on my MacBook Pro. All the settings are correct. The right speakers have been selected. The volume is up all the way yet I have no sound. The simple fix that comes up when I search the web does not work. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro (2017 – 2020)

It really helps to know the exact model of the Mac and version of macOS being used. You can get this information by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac".


Do you have any third party audio software installed?


Make sure no headphones or external speakers are connected since they will disable the internal speakers.


Try booting into Safe Mode to see if you can get sound from the speakers.

Try running the Apple Diagnostics to see if any hardware issues are detected....sometimes it includes an audio test.


If this is an Intel Mac, then try an SMC Reset and PRAM Reset (hold the PRAM Reset for at least two chimes).
