    Macbook Air A1932 no sound from speakers

    Good afternoon All
    i have a Macbook Air A1932 with no sound from speakers, but it does have sound from jack plug with corded earbuds plugged in
    i have checked left and right amps in diode mode all all checks out ok, i think it is unusual for both speakers to stop working together but i have no history regardin this mac
    i have both 820-01521 and 820-01124 boardview and schematics

    Has anyone encountered this before?

    kind regards
    Steve

    Suggest to blow out the headphone jack connector with compressed air. To remove any possible debris that could be blocking the use of the speakers.

        Check if the audio codecs have been man handled / replaced before you. The reason for this concern is that the audio codecs have special and reserved I2C / SMBUS IDs. Respectively, they must be purchased with the same exact markings from the offshore vendors otherwise the audio codec will not respond to the wrong addressing. I recall that we had to source from different vendors for a similar case. In the Texas Instruments datasheet (believe you are facing the same audio codec) - there is a mention of the I2C address values. From memory, the schematics reference a different address so appears to be a pseudo-custom audio codec from TI for Apple. This discussion is for a macbook with onboard codec. You have a daughterboard version.

        PS: I recall this small board. We had the same and it had a shorted cap onboard. Took a few minutes to locate the bad boy and was repaired. The same daughterboard is > $100 on Aliexpress. No idea why. Confirm the full part # on this board to compare notes. My database shows a -03 and also a -04 version of this daughterboard. No idea on the differences at this time. Try an internet boot of the OS to rule out any local s/w corruption issues.

          MacBook A2485 M1 Max - no sound/video on speakers
          by K MI
          Hi,
          I’m troubleshooting a MacBook Pro 16" A2485 (820-02382, M1 Max) on macOS (Tahoe). Headphones work fine (3.5mm jack + Bluetooth), but internal speakers do not work at all.

          When I try to play any system sound (e.g. afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Glass.aiff), it fails with:
          AudioQueueStart failed ('what')

          Logs from coreaudiod show the Built-In Speaker device trying to start and then failing immediately, e.g.:
          BuiltInSpeakerDevice: starting → IOA2UCDevice::StartIO ... Error: 0xE00002E9 → Underlying device failed to start with error: what
          ...

          what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
          by ChaosLegionnaire
          so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

          i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...
