OSX lacks audio output, yet bootcamp Windows 10 supports sound.
Hello guys, I need help! I'm so frustrated by it! Let me start from the beginning. I do own a MacBook Pro 2016, bought it brand new back in the day. Everything was working fine, until 2 days ago. I upgraded my os to Monterey and all of the sudden built-in speakers stopped working. Only the headphone mode is visible in sound preferences. I tried everything I could find on the internet, resetting nvram, smc, sticking tootpick inside, blasting compressed air to clean the port, resetting the coreaudio, turning off bluetooth, downgrading os, fresh installs.. Nothing helps! Today I decided to go on and installed bootcamp with Windows 10 on it, and the sound from internal speakers WORKS just fine! But, when I connect the headphones it doesn't, complete opposite to the OSX. Do you guys have any idea what else I can do? I'm fine with sound working on Windows 10 through the speakers, but I want to use osx because of my iphone and imessage. I don't believe the logicboard or 3,5mm jack is defective, because sound works in bootcamp through speakers, and in osx through headphones...
You're sure an iPhone works well with both Windows and Linux? I believe iMessage through BlueBubbles is a good option here: https://bluebubbles.app/downloads/desktop/. For another operating system beyond Windows, you can try Mageia instead of macOS—it’s likely the easiest Linux distribution to set up quickly, and it will resemble macOS in just a few minutes.
