No sound on Safari Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

a cry for help like a bottle in the sea...
So here it is, when I turned on my Mac (MacBook, Tiger) this morning, I found myself without sound on Safari (for example: Dailymotion, the Sonic Youth website, connection to Messenger, etc...) while iTunes, Skype are working fine for instance.

I have no idea where the problem is coming from. Last night, I installed Audacity which I then sent to the trash, thinking that the problem was coming from there... I then shut down and restarted the system. Nada, no change.

Help!!!

Thank you.

Configuration: Mac Os X Tiger

I had a sound problem like that too, try this:

* Go to Applications/Utilities, open "Audio MIDI Setup"
* Click on "Properties for: Built-in Output" and in the Audio Output section check that the field "Format:" has "44100.0 Hz" and 2ca-16bit; if it was already like that, sorry I couldn't help you.

PS: Think of the users on MacBidouille.com forums, I still find them more experienced (don't hit me ^^)

Hi.
A bottle in the sea?! I hope it's not a full mead bottle! That will sink.

Did you happen to update iTunes? It seems that the old .pkg files in the Receipts folder (in the main Library) are causing the issue. Move them to the Desktop and retest.

Be careful, don’t throw them away, and keep at least the most recent one. It might be useful for the next update and for repairing permissions.

In fact, I'm not sure at all about my answer anymore, but it's safe.
It's worth a try. And to put everything back in place if it doesn't work.

I confused some issues with iTunes and yours. But since these .pkg files are causing problems with the latest iTunes update, and it concerns sound, it might be related.

Hello.
I have exactly the same problem as you, meaning that I have no sound on Safari and Mozilla, while I do have sound with iTunes, QuickTime, etc. In fact, as soon as the file comes from the internet (even when downloaded), I have no sound (YouTube, Deezer, etc...). I tried the two techniques mentioned above, but nothing worked.
I attempted to reinstall Safari, QuickTime, iTunes, and Mozilla, and still, nothing has changed.
Thank you in advance for your responses.

The subject is dated, but once the same problem happened to me, and it was enough to restart the Mac... It was probably due to a lot of installations done before, without restarting...
