My speakers are not all working as they did. Is there a speaker test?

Hi to all,
This is my first post on the forum, and is done in desperation.
I have a laptop in my car running windows XP sp3 and an Audigy 2 ZS pcmcia card.
All was well when I first set up the system (with the help of my son who has now moved out and started his own family).
When my son was here he helped (well virtually did it all) setting up the Audigy software and I remember him saying that the cd that came with it was outdated and he downloaded new drivers etc and installed them on the fresh install of windows we had. all the speakers FR FL RR RL and Sub were ok and sounded really good, but last week windows died and since then I have installed fresh again and downloaded the latest software from the Creative site.
After installing the first time I remember a utility my son used (i think it was within the Creative software) that tested the speakers and a voice came through each one in turn to check if they were connected right. Now I cannot seem to find anything of the sort on this install? I also seem to remember that there was some way of choosing what channel went to what speaker, but can't find this in the new install either.
I just wish I was younger! Maybe then I could understand the problem as easily as my son would have! Doh!
Anyway thanks for reading this and any help would be much appreciated. BTW I am fine with the electrical / electronic side of things as I have been an electrician all my life. Its just this software side that gets me.

My MacBook Pro speakers are not fully working.

The speakers work, but not fully. The sound seems very far away, like they are only partially working. They go in and out of fully working and then suddenly they will switch to sounding far off. The headphone jack works just fine.
Help! The computer was bought in 2011 and the internal systems were replaced in 2012 from water damage and the hard drive was replaced last spring.

Try zapping the PRAM.

Multimedia touch panel buttons on Satellite A500 are not all working

Hello,
I recently purchased an A500 (PSAR9A-02J001) laptop running Windows 7 (32-bit) Home Premium. Not all the top Multimedia touch panel buttons are working. When buttons are pressed, the laptop makes a beeping sound (which is normal) but the corresponding function is not executed.
For example, the Eco button at the top doesn't switch on/off the eco and the mute button does not mute the volume.
Device manager shows all devices as working correctly.
There are no errors in the Event Viewer Application or System logs.
Please advise!
Thank you,

Internal speakers are not working, they're not showing up at all. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My computer's speakers are not putting out sound. They worked fine yesterday, and I just now started up my computer and began using it today. The internal speakers don't show up on my list of output devices in settings, and I can't adjust the volume. Any help is really appreciated!!!

They are all in the same folder and it says all images are there, but it is only showing 1 card's images at a time. Does anyone know how to fix this?
This is kind of confusing, on the one hand you say "it says all images are there" and then you directly contradict this by saying "it is only showing 1 card's images at a time".
Could you explain in a lot more detail what you see (and don't say "it", say exactly what part of Lightroom or what part of your operating system you are looking at), or show us a screen capture?

My Bose Companion 5 speakers are not getting detected in mac pro. They are working fine with other machines (including mac).

My bose companion 5 speakers are not getting detected on Mac Pro. They are working fine with other machines (including friend's mac)

Same Issue here. I had a similar issue with my Bose USB speakers when I upgraded to Maverick. I've had the speakers since 2010 and had no issue with my 2006 Mac Pro or my iMac till the Maverick upgrade, contacted both Apple and Bose with no luck but an Apple update fixed the issue.
I wonder if other USB speakers have an issue or is it just BOSE USB speakers. But my Companions did work fine with my Mac Pro and iMac 27 till the Yosemite update with an initial issue with the Maverick upgrade it was definitely an Apple issue not Bose. I have both Boise Airplay and Blue tooth speakers that seem OK it is only the USB Companions that don't work.
Will look forward to a solution.
Thanks,
Rich

My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
4. Reset the NVRAM.
5. Reset the SMC.
6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Pavilion a6303w speakers are not working

After having to completely remove all files from my computer, due to mechanic systems program. I reinstalled my computer to it's factory settings. I am unable to download my backup disks as well as my speakers are not working. I have checked the Audio and everything is up? Can anyone help me with how to get my audio back?

When you say "I checked the Audio and everything is up", does that mean that you checked all of the settings in the Control Panel/Sound module? You should assure that you sound device is set as the default. Also, check all of the settings one by one to assure that they are checked properly. Then, update the driver.

My laptop speakers are not working but my headphones work fine

I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d73us laptop and although my headphones work properly the speakers do not. This is a recent problem. I have tried troubleshooting with windows troubleshooter with no results. I have checked all the drivers for audio and they check out fine. I have tried driver software with no success. Windows Media Player does not work. I get an error message when I try to use it. What else can I try? Carl

Hello @hifive11,
I have read your post on how your notebook speakers are not working, but the headphones work fine, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
The first step I recommend is to follow this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7). This should help to restore the sound to your speakers.
You can also enable the speakers on your computer as the default playback device. This can be done by following the steps below:
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's headset device). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
6. Test your speakers
If the issue continues, I recommend returning your notebook to a previous restore point before the speakers stopped working. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Pavilion g6 both speakers are not working

my laptop pavilion g6 is one and half year old and my both altec srs premium speakers are not working.................when i troubleshoot audio problem in control panel it does not shows any problem so please help me

Hello rakesh_kaunder.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. I understand there is no sound coming from the computer's internal speaker. I apologize for the delay, but I will do my best to assist you!
Before any other troubleshooting is done, I would like to run the Microsoft Fix it utility. This tool will troubleshoot and potential resolve the following:
- Corrupt or disabled audio driver(s).
- Issues with your audio device(s).
- Settings of your audio devices (in case something is not enabled that should be).
Please download and run the utility from this Microsoft website: Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems
This utility will potentially resolve the issue on its own. If the issue is not resolved, please try the troubleshooting steps in this HP document: No Sound from the Speakers
I believe all of this troubleshooting will resolve your internal speaker issue. Please post your results, regardless of the outcome. Thank you for posting this issue on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Is this some kind of loose connection ?????

The internal speakers are not working on my macbook pro

the internal speakers are not working on my macbook pro

Are they selected under System Preferences>Sound? Or do you see something such as "Digital Output" listed instead of "Internal Speakers"?
It may be that your digital out switch is 'stuck.' This usually happens after using headphones and you can usually see a red light coming from the audio out port. You can 'fix' this by plugging and unplugging a headphone jack repeatedly until the switch is reset.

My front speakers are not working.

I have a laptop HP Pavilion dv7-4180ea, Core i7 1.60 GHz, ATI Radeon HD 5650 1 GB, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with 4 GB of RAM.
The problem came up after I reinstalled the windows about one week ago. After I downloaded the driver from HP Drivers and Support things didn't seem to work as they did before. The front speakers are not working anymore now, only the subwoofer works and it sounds awful. Is there any other driver I need to download or something? Thanks in advance.

Hi here. Use a Mini Display Port to HDMI cable and connect the HDMI into HDMI input on the receiver and the Mini Display to the Mini Display Port on your Mac.
- Go to System Preferences on your Mac. Click on the "Sound" icon. Then in the "Output" tab, select "(your speakers) - HDMI
- Then go into Applications via finder > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup. On the left side of the window select HDMI. On the right side it then should say "Source: (your speakers)"
- Click the "Configure Speakers..." button in the bottom right of the window. Click the "Multichannel" tab. Then select "5.1 Surround" from the pull down menu. Click on each speaker to provide a test tone to make sure each is connect properly. Then click on "Apply" if there is no 5.1 option e.g it's greyed out use options 48000.0 HZ and 8ch-16bit Integer. You can then select Configure Speakers, Multichannel and 5.1 Surround from the drop down. When testing the speakers you may have to use the drop downs under each speaker to change the numbers for which speaker is where. Good luck :-) hope it works
