[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1628032, member: 234411"] Well, if the sound problem was on just one laptop vs. several, I would query a hardware issue, but w/ a number affected, likely a software glitch - just saying. Reboot - yes, simply shutting the computer down and then back on again. By BT devices I meant headphones, speakers, etc. - if you had the computer 'paired' to a BT device and the device was on but muted, then you would likely experience the 'no sound' issue on the laptop. Resetting SMC & PRAM are fairly easy and quick as the link suggested, if you took a look; and certainly do not involve taking your laptop apart - simply areas of non-volatile memory where certain settings of your computer are stored.
