How to get internal and external speakers playing together?

Hey everyone, I just bought the HP ENVY dv7 with beats audio and I love it!  I only have one question that I couldn't seem to get answered anywhere else so I turned to here. Is there a way I can have the compuer's internal speakers (beats audio) and my home stereo speakers (external) playing at the same time? I love how good the beats sound but I also want the surround sound given by the external speakers. So is there a setting I can switch it to so it'll play both? I've tried looking but couldn't find it. Or is there some program/driver like thing I need to download off the interwebs so it'll play both? Thanks in advanced. 

Hello Branman,
I understand you want to play your surround sound system while also being able to hear your internal laptop speakers, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
Unfortunately that will not work, by design whenever you plug in a surround sound system or just a standard set of headphones the system automatically disables the internal speakers. I was not able to come across any legit online software that you can download to make that a possible transition.
Thanks

  • I have lost all audio on both my internal and external speakers.

    I have lost audio on both my internal and external speakers.  I have checked the System Preferences when my external speakers are plugged in it is acknowledged.  When using internal speakers they are also acknowledged.  Sound volume on Preferences is on and fully high.  The sound buttons on the keyboard  do not work and the sound level is now locked in at full sound and cannot be adjusted using the keys.  The System Preferences shows that Mute is now checked and I cannot uncheck it.  What should I do to get my sound back both internally and externally?

    Repair permissions & restart.
    Check your settings in the Audio Midi app which is located in the Utilities folder.

    =====================
    Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
    The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
    The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
    The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
    If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
    It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

  • I can't hear iTunes music or internet radio but internal and external speakers are definitely working. Is there a key stroke I have set or some other, maybe Yosemite, issue?

    I have checked my internal speakers on an iMac and also the external speakers - all working. When play music in iTunes the sound bar moves but no sound is heard.  Same problem if I want to listen to the radio via internet.  Has anyone a suggestion.  Is it a Yosemite issue - I have had others involving printers. thanks

    like davis says then even though I have connected headset and external speakers to my imac then at boot up the boot sound comes out of the imac speaker
    but once booted into OS X all audio is played out of the headset and ext speakers and the imac speakers are silent as the grave

  • MacBook Pro internal and external speakers not responding

    For the last 3-4 weeks, I've had odd bouts of incidents where the speakers (internal) stop responding at all.  I have a set of external speakers that are normally plugged into the computer, but they have also stopped producing sound.  Is there any way to troubleshoot this to determine the source of the problem.  (PS:  NOTHING works.  Even Skype contacts, iTunes playback, notification sounds -- everything is out.)

    Bad really, coz if you could see a red light it would be much easier to solve.  The red light would indicate it was operating as a toslink (digital audio) connector and the switch that changes it from analog to digital audio was stuck.  It can be unstuck by wiggling a toothpick or cocktail stick in the socket.  It means it's much harder to diagnose what your problem is.
    Suggest as a first stage that you attempt a PRAM reset followed by a SMC reset if still not working, then report back here.

  • Can u have internal AND external speakers on???

    Can both the internal speakers and some of my external speakers be on at the same time??

    Allan,
    No, unfortunately you cannot. Having external speakers plugged into the optical/analog output port automatically mutes the internal speakers.

  • How o get nusic and video to play on same playlist

    I was wondering if there is a way to get music and either music videos or movies to play in the same play list. I can get the audio of the music videos to play with the music, but not the actual video, any suggestion? Thanks.

    All you have to do is, make normal playlists (the same way you normally would) including your music and the video you want in the lists with the music. Then when you go to use your ipod, instead of choosing music, instead choose the video and section - and any playlists that have video included with them will show up under video>video playlists. If there is no video included in the play list however, it wont show up under the video section.

  • Internal and external speakers

    so i bought some a set of 2 logitch speakers and a sub... the only spot to really plug it into is the headphone jack... i was wondering if it was possible to set up my sound to come out of the head phone jack and the built in internal speakers
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    No. You can have either external or internal, but not both. The iMac G5 has built-in SPDIF port which supports 5.1 speaker systems such as the Logitech Z-680 if you want more than stereo sound. Here is the cable you'd hook up your iMac too those speakers to do that:
    http://www.monstercables.com/productPage.asp?pin=2809
    Not all applications support more than 2 channel sound, but those that do will be able to take advantage of it.
    P.S. I might add, this is the iMac Intel Duo forum, not the iMac G5 forum. If you have an iMac G5 as your profile says, you may find people will be able to give you more accurate answers about your machine, by posting here:

    If you have an iMac Intel Duo, you are in the right place. To tell the two machines apart, see this article:

  • How to configure AD on windows 2012 server for Exchange 2013 internal and external email flow

    Dear Experts,
    I have to configure exchange 2013 on Windows server 2012 STD. Company has registered Static IP addresses and can get the MX record pointing to any of this Static IP.  
    The registered domain name is e.g.  contoso.com. 
    a. What should I use as domain name on AD? contoso.com or contoso.local
    b. Is it recommended to have two different servers  for AD and Exchange?
    c. What should be my connector settings for mail flow?
    d. how can I set 2 email servers in company for load balancing?

    Hi,
    a, I suggest use contoso.com as domain name. It is convenient to add urls into our certificate for internal and external mail flow.
    b, Recommended that installing AD
    and Exchange Server on two separate
    Servers. If Exchange Server downed unfortunately, it can prevent AD server from crushing at the same time.
    c, Found some articles for your reference:

  • Internal (central) and external speakers (left,right)

    Hi all,
    I looking for a way to put the speakers in the iMac to good use.
    what I know:
    I can't use the headphone-jack and the internal speaker simultaneously,  since there is a hardware switch in the headphone-jack.
    what I don’t know:
    If I would use an usb-sound card, is there a way to use the internal speakers as a central speaker and the sound card for left and right channel?
    Perhaps somebody has an idea to this.
    Thanks
    Patrick

    I don't believe this is entirely true, it appears that while running Windows XP through Bootcamp, because of the absence of some kind of driver, both the internal speakers and the external speakers play the sound. Apparantly some guy was using Skype with his headphones, but the sound was not only coming through his headphone but also through the speakers.
    Long story short, there has to be a way to do it, even though it may be through some ugly firmware hack.

  • TEM How to diffrentiate b/w internal and external events

    Hi experts,
            How do i distinguish b/w internal and external events ? When i try to create an event always by default it shows as internal in the top right above planned and firmly booked radio buttons. How do i create an external event which is held outside the company ?
    please help...
    Thanks & regards,
    Pavan

    Hi Pavan,
    If you create a business event with resources, it is automatically considered an "internal" event -as you cannot plan resources OUTSIDE of your company-.
    If you create a business event w/o resources, than system gives you the option of internal/external selection.

  • How to Setup RDS custom property when internal and external domain name space is different

    Hi All
    I am setting up RDS for customer
    My internal domain name is domain.local and my external domain is domain.com
    I came across below PowerShell cmdlets on some blogs because my internal and external name space are different
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -CustomRdpProperty “use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.com”
    In above command, remote.domain.com points to which host?
    Is it pointing to RD Session Broker
    OR
    Pointing to RD Session Host servers
    I am not sure what above command will do exactly ?
    Any help will be highly appreciated
    Thanks Best Regards Mahesh

    Hi,
    It all depends who is accessing the RDS Solution.
    If you have a large BYOD or large number of external users, it would be better to use a public certificate.
    Have a look at the following script which will simplyfy the configuration of the RDSH hosts with certificates.
    http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2014/05/20/rds-2012-rdsh-certificate-deployment-script/
    You can use a custom RDP property to hide the Session host names.
    Have a look at the following article on configuring certificates:

  • Delivery report shows status of Pending for external address. Email sent to both internal and external addresses.

    We have an Exchange 2013 on-premise server and seem to have an issue with emails sent to internal and external users at the same time.
    The issue came to light because someone sent an email to 44 recipients, of which one was internal. None of the external recipients received the email. I checked the delivery report in the EAC and found the internal email marked as 'Delivered' and all of
    the external ones marked as 'Pending'. I checked the queues and there were none. I did some testing and sent an email to just one of the external addresses on the list, it arrived. I tried sending the email again to all of the recipients, the external ones
    all showed 'Pending'. I tried it again, but this time excluded the internal email address and all of the 43 external emails were immediately delivered.
    So it seems that the issue only arises when we are sending to both internal and external addresses.
    I then tried a test email to one internal address and one external address. The Delivery report says that the internal address was delivered immediately, while the external address is 'Pending' and gives more information saying: 'Message delivery is taking
    longer than expected. There may be system delays. For more information, contact your helpdesk.'. To add further mystery to this, the email was actually delivered.
    So, I have two concerns:
    First is seems that some emails sent both internally and externally are only arriving internally. This is a huge problem because I don't know how many have been affected. There may be many lost emails we don't know about.
    Second, it looks like I can't trust the delivery report. It says pending for some emails which didn't arrive, but it also says pending for some which did arrive. That is no good at all.
    For info the server is running Windows Server 2012. I have run a Microsoft Update to check if there are any to apply and the only Exchange one is a spam filter update, which I doubt has any bearing but I will apply when I get chance.

    Hi Neil,
    According to the description, I find a related KB on Exchange 2010:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2694474?wa=wsignin1.0
    It has the similar situation as yours.
    This issue occurs because a function in a message tracking component tries to obtain the information for the recipient instead of the external recipient.
    Please try to upgrade to the latest Exchange update to check whether this issue can be solved.
    Also please check whether Throttling has been set.
    Please run "Get-TransportService | fl" to check the MaxOutboundConnections parameter value.
    More details to see:
