MacBook Speaker Not Working — Fixes and common causes

If your MacBook speaker is not working, start by separating software issues from hardware faults.

Quick checks

• Verify output device and volume settings
• Test with headphones
• Restart and test in Safe Mode

Hardware causes

• Speaker damage (liquid, dust, impact)
• Flex cable / connector issues
• Audio circuitry issues on the logic board (less common, but possible)

If sound is distorted or missing after software checks, contact iQube Tech Care for diagnosis.
