Any time the T2 chip tries to sync, it will overload the USB2. There is no way any musician should go on stage with a [Mac] and a USB2. This of course has led some users to simply buy a new Thunderbolt 3 audio interface. But this situation is unacceptable — plenty of standard, inexpensive PCs have no such issues with Thunderbolt and USB audio hardware.
Apple has shipped their entire computer line with buggy firmware that renders those machines unusable for the majority of people working with sound so music, video, and audio production , and have lagged in finding a solution for months after shipping these expensive machines. Not only that, but is anyone clear on what problem the T2 security chip even solves? Mac users on older machines should postpone upgrading.
Mac users in the market purchasing a new machine right now should consider a comparable Windows machine. Users stuck with these models should use a Thunderbolt 3 audio interface, adapter, or hub, or attempt to return the computer in favor of an older Mac or new PC. This represents another serious quality control fumble from Apple.
A headphone option became available after doing so, and when I removed them, I saw that the built in output had returned - and hooray I have sound. Mar 13, PM. Page content loaded. Mar 7, PM.

Sound Not Working On MacBook Pro – how to fix it
Nov 12, PM in response to jamimac In response to jamimac. I didn't want to go poking around with a toothpick and certainly not anything metal! When I plugged them in and immediately pulled them out it didn't reset everything.
I believe it's software more than hardware, but since I don't know what the inside of the jack actually looks like that's purely speculation. Nov 12, PM. Apr 5, PM. But when it proceeded to the login page, the sound is disabled again Apr 21, AM. Apr 26, PM. More Less. Communities Contact Support. They may have designed this better.

Solution: jab a headphone plug in and out of the jack a few times. My mac book pro used to automatically select the audio output. If I plugged my headphones in, they would mute the speakers and the sound would only come through the headphones. I have an apple display and when it was connected if would automatically know to play audio out of the display.
Now, I have to manually select it from system preferences or for the menu bar. Can someone help me figure out if I can get it back to automatic? I came across this thread upon finding that my internal speakers would not show up as an option after I had used an external speaker for amplification.
The Sound Preferences would keep looking for the external speakers even after they were disconnected. Using MacBook running Clearly a software bug. What can I do to fix this issue? After trying just about everything I came across a tip to apply high pressure air-duster to the port. That solved the issue! Apperantly dust might cause the sound to be routed to an optical channel, causing the hiccups. This has happened to me twice now. No sound at all: no itunes music, no video playback sound, no alert sounds — nothing.
None of the fixes work as the system preferences appear normal. What does work is this: Connect some headphones into the jack. Play a song in itunes. It will be audible.
Pull out the headphones. The song is now audible through the speakers. Crazy but works for me. Had this problem ever since updating to Yosemite. I have a MBPR 15inch, 1st version. Oh my god, thank you so much! However, this did! It updated to the most recent version of Yosemite, though this to me was not the cause of this problem. How can I fix this problem without having to shove a toothpick in the plug socket?
Another thngyou may want to check: If you upgraded to Yosemite, and Garage Band was previously active, but not installed under Yosemite, this can cause problems as well. Just had my hard drive replaced by apple. Sound works from internal speakers. Mainly youtube and itunes but also soundcloud and probably other websites. On youtube sometimes i get one second of audio then nothing.
Mac no sound [SOLVED]
Sometimes nothing at all and sometimes it plays fine. What the hey is that all about lol. I just have ordinary computer speakers hooked up to it by the usual speaker jack. Nay, this problem is not related to the selection of an internal or external output device. Then it defaults back to internal speakers again. Hi lorvens, can you fix that? I have a same problem, I read is probably is a problem with a hardware.
This is after updating to Yosemite Anyone know how to fix this?
How to fix sound problems on your Mac running macOS Mojave
Nothing is ever so simple, my friend. Backup your Mac, update the system software, then Reboot your Mac. After the update to Yosemite Problem solved. First I called Apple, they tried to reset the iMac. So they told me to bring it in. Next I opened Launchpad and saw an icoon with the Yosemite update. So I installed the update again. And guess what? Sound works again. Getting tired of this. What exactly is the difference between audio and sound as per the title of the article? Audio meaning any audio channel is not outputting, sound meaning the actual sound noise being output.
What should I do if there are no output OR input devices to select from.
