Here are some of the various audio-related issues that you can face on your iMac, either relating to a software issue or a hardware one:
- No sound emanating from the speakers at all – This issue is one of the most common ones faced by users. This can result from either a software or a hardware issue. If it is a software one, a simple reboot of the computer will fix it most of the time. However, if you think you might have a hardware problem, diagnosing it would require in-depth analysis of your computer’s hardware in one of our labs.
- Noise or crackling audio from the speakers – This is an issue that is usually caused by a hardware problem. Most often, such issues occur on iMac speakers because of a liquid spill or an accumulation of dust inside the speaker grill over time. To prevent such audio problems in the computer, there is a need for users to use their computers away from liquids and dusty environments.
