Hi All
I have a G3 iBook  500 with no sound. 10.4.11. I t shows the volume is up but 
can't get any sound from speakers. I looked at a manual from PowerBook Medic.
But it doesn't refer to any sound card. Do these machines have a separate sound 
card?

Try plugging in some headphones.


I plugged in phones and they work properly, but there is no speaker selection 
in the device box in sound preferences.

Try plugging and unplugging the headphones several times.  It's likely the 
switch in the headphone jack is having problems.

Is the switch the reason the speaker selection is missing from the preferences 
box? Is that an integral part of the logic board, I think I read somewhere that 
the icebook is a bear
to repair stuff because of the difficulty levels?

I'm not sure to what you refer. On my iBook Clamshell (10.4.11) in the System Preferences / Sound / Output under "Choose a device for Sound Output" it lists "Internal Speakers Built-in Audio". If I plug in headphones it shows "Headphones "Built-in Audio" instead. If that is what you mean then yeah, it sounds like the headphone jack is hung up some how.
