From one day to the next I do not hear any sound coming from the built in speakers on my PowerBook G4 1GHz. When I check the audio preferences, it displays Headset copnnected to the audio output as the chosen output and I cannot really choose anything else. I believe before it said always Built in Speakers there, unless I'd plug the Mac via firewire to an external audio module. Could it be that I lost or accidentally deleted some sort of driver or other piece of software necessary or is this some kind of hardware damage? (I haven't really using my computer as a freesbie lately!)
Thanx in advance, Atahualpa |

I have the same problem, except I have an 867mhz powerbook. If I plug in head phones, I can hear through them, but when there are no headphones, no sound comes from the speakers. I don't know why it happens, but I've found that if you plug in the headphones, take them out, and change around the volume, sometimes you can get the speakers to work. However, even when this works, the sound still goes in and out. You could also just buy some external speakers if you need them to work.
