Sound not playing after Sequoia 15.5 update - internal speakers

Not long after updating to Sequoia 15.5, my Macbook Pro internal speakers don't play anymore. I can connect to bluetooth peripherals which plays audio.


I tried:

  • Resetting PRAM
  • Boot in safe mode
  • Quit coreaudiod process
  • Reboot several times


Specs: MBP M1 Pro 2021


Someone had this issue in a forum thread and Apple replaced their motherboard. Anyone have a fix?

I faced the exact same issue with my MBP PRO 2021 14inch after upgrading sequoia to 15.6.1 , tried to run the diagnostics but was showing no issues , i reset the mac too and had to downgrade to ventura but the issue still persists , headphones and airpods works well but the speakers are not

If the Output in the Sound Settings is not switching back to Internal when wired headphones are unplugged..

Then it sounds like the micro switch inside the Mac's headphone port is either stuck or damaged.
