First off, if you're here to talk shit on macs, keep it to yourself.
1. I don't care
2. This is the first problem I've had with my mac in 2 years, it's a better machine than you know

That out of the way... My computer was accidentally turned off without shutting down, and when it was restarted, the start-up chime sounds, but when the OS loads, there's no audio. I've reset the PRAM, the audio MIDI is setup correctly. Anyone know what's up or have ideas?

take a tube sock and ball it up ... stuff it all they way down into a second tube sock ... beat the living shit out of the mac with it .... see it that fixes it... if not, place a "d-cell" battery in the sock instead of the balled up sock and repeat the procedure. then go out and buy a real computer instead of the gay-assed mac.

lol


does a mac have a device manager or anything like that... something that will report whether the software supporting the hardware (driver on a pc) is operating correctly?

What the hell is a "mini mac"? Is that like a tiny clone of a regular mac?

Mac mini, not mini mac.

Notch, I'm not really sure. I sort of suspect it's a driver problem, but I'm not sure why it would just stop working.

if it is a result of an inproper shutdown i would suspect a softwwre/driver problem as you do... if its just a coindince(sp) it could be hardware. will the mac store help out if you go in there and BS w/ the guys? I don't even know anyone that is nice with fixing macs ... just pc guys.

Yeah, I'm no Mac expert, but I'd say based on the circumstances and the way pretty much all OS's work, you're more than likely looking at a corrupted driver file or something along those lines.
