This, in its turn, may cause an accidental loss of data. In such cases, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/free-mac-data-recovery.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stellar Data Recovery<\/a><\/strong> tool may come to the rescue and help restore lost files.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"solutions-to-fix-sound-not-working-on-mac\">Solutions to Fix Sound Not Working on Mac<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Check the Volume<\/h3><p>In many cases, you can&rsquo;t hear any sound on your Mac because you muted yourself. Try muting and unmuting your Mac by pressing the &ldquo;<strong>Mute<\/strong>&rdquo; key. Then, move on to check the volume level. For that, press and release the &ldquo;<strong>Volume Up<\/strong>&rdquo; key on your keyboard. It may seem too obvious, but these easy steps can save you a lot of time troubleshooting potential sound issues.&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Check Separate Apps<\/h3><p>One of the ways to check for audio issues is to find out whether there are any <strong>sound problems in separate apps<\/strong>. This will allow you to identify whether the pain you are dealing with is caused by malfunctioning hardware or is related to application settings. Your browser tabs are a great place to start. If you open a tab that plays audio in your browser, you will see a sound indicator next to the tab&rsquo;s name.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Double-check whether the audio is unmuted and click on the sound icon to turn the sound on if needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Restart Your Mac<\/h3><p>To tackle sound issues successfully, you first need to identify the root of the problem. However, to do so can be challenging. If the reason why sound is not working on your Mac is unclear, it is a good idea to start with a simple system restart. Often, this will get the problem fixed.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>To execute the restart properly, follow these instructions:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on the <strong>Apple logo <\/strong>in the top left corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Restart<\/strong> from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"292\" height=\"306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146519 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-3.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-3-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image1-3-150x157.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Apple Logo &gt; Restart<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Confirm the process by clicking on the <strong>Restart button<\/strong> in a prompt pop-up.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong>If a simple restart didn&rsquo;t work, you could try <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/224955\/how-to-reset-a-macs-nvram-pram-and-smc.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>NVRAM Reset<\/strong><\/a><strong>:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shut down<\/strong> your computer.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press the key combination <strong>Command + Option + P + R<\/strong> and hit the <strong>Power button<\/strong> simultaneously.
