Hi again Cheryl and all. So it is the same problem that I was
having earlier this year with sound output devices shutting off.
Glad you got it fixed, well, turned back on.
I still have the question in my mind though, why does it shut off?Or
could something be done so that if a shut off occurs, the setting
could go back to being turned back on when the computer is reeset?I
suppose part of the answer is that the computer just remembers the
settings from before a restart or shut down occurs. But needless to
say, it is kind of a hastle when it occurs. Glad it doesn't seem to
be happening often to a lot of people. As I mentioned in earlier e-
mail today I thought I was the only person that this had happened to,
and thought it was just my machine here. Afterall, it is almost 4
years old.
73s.

Hi all. I fixed my sound!!!
I really recommend that anybody with one mac have two if you can
afford it somehow; that way you can check your steps on one if the
other isn't talking.
I knew that the problem had started when I was navigating the
output devices in system preferences sound. So I thought if i could
get back there i could fix it. so I traced the steps on the other
computer. if you open system preferences from the terminal, the
search field is two vo-arrows to the left. You can type sound and
hit enter and you will be in the sound window. two vo-arrows to the
right and you click output to make sure that tab is selected. three
more to the right and interact with output devices and arrow around
until it talks.
Since my computer isn't talking, I had to ssh in from another
computer. but I know that if you open an application from the
terminal via ssh, you will be then in that window on the computer
where the command is being carried out. so i was able to ssh in,
carry out the command, and then navigate following the steps I had
worked out on the other mac. I don't know why I didn't think of
this before.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
