You can grab the com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist from your OS X install disk or from a working Mac (I recommend the ladder). We'll be using Terminal and the sudo + cp commands. Make sure you know your password.
>From the OSX install disk === WARNING. Only take this approach if you're comfortable with the OS X file system and the Terminal. It can be dangerous and I'd recommend the other option (From another Mac, see below). Insert your OS X install disk. Reboot your busted Mac. Hold Option or C after the boot sound. You should see an OS X installation window. Ignore this. Launch the Terminal (from Menubar > Utilities) and run the following command... sudo cp /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/ LaunchDaemons/ This will copy the plist file from the OS X install disk to your hard drive where it will launch at startup. The plist will start coreaudiod and everything should work fine. Shutdown and let the system boot normally. >From a another Mac === >From another working Mac (a friend can also do this for you) launch Terminal and run the following command. sudo cp /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist ~/Downloads/ This will copy the plist file to the Downloads folder of the working Mac. From here transfer the plist to the Downloads folder of the busted Mac (the one missing the plist). Then (from the busted Mac) run the following commands (one at a time)... sudo cp ~/Downloads/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist /System/Library/ LaunchDaemons/ cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ sudo chmod 644 com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist You can then reboot the busted Mac. The plist will start coreaudiod and everything should work fine.
