Your Mac may try connecting to a Bluetooth device that isn’t in range.

Terminate the process by clicking on the “X,” and it will restart automatically. Restart your sound controller by opening the “Activity Monitor” and locating “coreaudiod” in the process list.If you want the sound to play through your headphones or speakers while your TV is on, you need to switch to your speakers by clicking on the audio icon found in the Mac menu bar.If your TV is connected via HDMI, for example, your sound is probably being redirected to the TV instead of the headphones or speakers. Other devices could be channeling the sound away from your headphones. That includes HDMI, Thunderbolt, and USB devices. Check all of the ports by disconnecting everything plugged into your Mac.Some models have built-in volume controls that can be turned down or turned off. Check the volume controls on your headphones.Plug the headphones back in while holding the volume buttons at the same time.Try blowing the dust off the jack and from inside the port on your Mac to see if that solves the problem. Dust or fluff is enough to block the port from recognizing your headphones or speakers.

Unplug your headphones and try connecting them to another device like your iPhone or iPad to make sure they are working as intended. On your MacBook, click the Apple symbol in the menu bar, then select System Preferences.

If your headphones or external speakers don’t work when you connect them to your Mac computer, here are some things you should try to fix the issue: Headphones Not Working on Mac: 13 Things You Can Do Let’s take a look at what to do when your headphones aren’t working on your Mac. Aside from clean install, I don’t know what else to say - good luck.Fortunately, there are several solutions you can try to fix this audio bug.

I looked at the drivers on the Windows side under Device Manager and it shows as High Definition Audio Device. Ive checked privacy settings on both MAC and Windows and both are showing as being fine. But I also have the sense that Mojave’s process is buggy for granting permissions. Several different microphone inputs work fine on the Mac side (running Catalina).

Apple required that apps in Mojave update their plist to pop the dialogue, Blizzard did that in an earlier patch. This is both an Apple and a Blizzard issue. After I did that, Mojave redirected them as “new” apps and popped the security permission dialogue again and after I granted permission on them, it worked. apparently there is not a programmatic way for an app to re-pop the permission dialogue, it only gets one shot and if you missed it, that’s that.įor me, I was able to completely uninstall HOTS and the BattleNet client - deleted off the computer, reboot, etc. Unfortunately Apple didn’t build a lot of QoL for their development partners with this permissions change, e.g. Hi Andrew, it’s built into the guts of Mojave (it’s a “feature not a bug”) so you can’t disable it, short of downgrading your OS.
