MacBozo Nut Dood Registered: 04/20/02 Posts: 17618 Loc: Pinellas Park, Florida	With my internal sound on my Mini. I reset the PRAM today to see if that helps and it did. PRAM battery maybe? Nothing else seems to be affected. I'll see if it "sticks" for now. (I still could use that 250GB internal drive I want, so maybe I can swap the battery out at the same time). _________________________

Acumowchek Is this thing on? Registered: 12/29/07 Posts: 3293 Loc: Petaluma, CA	Is the battery accessible in the mini? I have last years model, and I'm going to have to attempt to put in more RAM. That looks pretty easy though.

Shut the computer down and unplug the power supply from the computer for a bit. Maybe at least 10 minutes or so? Overnight would be a for sure bet. When you reboot it if the clock held time the battery is okay. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

There is power to the headphone jack, Sound Pref Pane shows it as active, but there is no sound output. At least, the USB dongle works just fine.

Jim_ aka Reboot Registered: 04/21/02 Posts: 13593 Loc: Columbus OH	Does it still malfunction in Safe Boot mode, just to make sure it's not some obscure third party thing going on? Do you have an older version of the OS on some external you can boot to to see if it's something OS related? A clean install on an external to try? Saw this at Apple discussions - One of the proposed solutions was to change the Audio Midi setup to 32bit. It's just odd how it comes and goes. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
