The only time I can get any sound from the internal speakers is when I hold down the programmers button. Someone suggested doing that as a way to determine if it was a hardware problem (i.e. loose speaker wire or a similar type issue) or a software problem. When I did this, I got the loud familiar beep. What I did not think to do is listen to see if I got that beep from BOTH speakers. I may have gotten the beep from both or only one of the speakers. Not sure but I'll check it.
Frankly, I could get by without the sound but the computer is my daughters and it seems that most of her games are worthless without sound. And of course there is the issue of iTunes. I've learned from other sources that this was not an uncommon problem with these early Macs. In any case, I've been trying to get this fixed for months, hence my lack of patience for "Try turning up the sound". Thanks for your interest and I appreciate any serious attempts to help me resolve this problem. The sooner I get it fixed, the sooner my daughter will have no reason for lobbying for her own MacBook.
