Question: 1 / 410

If the volume is muted on a Mac, will the Play Sound feature work?

Yes, the sound will play regardless

The Play Sound feature on a Mac is designed to play a sound that is typically used for alerts, system notifications, or other prompts. If the volume is muted, the Play Sound feature will not function as intended because the sound output is completely turned off. The internal audio system requires volume to be unmuted for any sound, including alerts or notifications, to be heard.

Thus, when the volume is muted, the system is incapable of producing any sound at all, rendering the Play Sound feature ineffective in its purpose to alert users through noise. Since the system is designed to ensure that sound can only play when the volume is unmuted, it is evident that the sound will not play in a muted state.
