Unplug the speaker connector from the Mac Mini and plug it back in again. If the speakers make a noise, like a buzz or click while moving the connector in the port, the speakers are most likely operating correctly. If they make no noise at all, there may be an issue with the speakers. Select "System Preferences" from the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen.

Select "Sound" in the Hardware section of the System Preferences menu. Click the "Output" tab and then select the output you want to use, such as the internal speakers, external speakers or HDMI, depending on what is connected to the Mac Mini. Drag the "Output Volume" slider to the right to increase the volume. Make sure the "Mute" option is not selected. Turn the Mac Mini back on and then immediately press the "Command," "Option," "P" and "R" keys all at the same time -- this must be done before the screen becomes gray.



Continue to hold the keys until you hear the Mac startup sound twice, then release the keys. Wait for the computer to restart.
