Hi William I'm not trying to be funny, but have you tried turning up the volume on your speakers? I know Apple devices can sometimes turn the volume down. It happened on my iPhone a few times. Have you tried plugging in a head set to see if the sound works there? You can all shoot me now, but it's worth asking. If you hear other Mac sounds, then that's not your problem and higher minds than mine will need to step in.
