Audio not switching to headphones :/

I have the Envy X2 with Beats audio and the audio is great. But when I plug in my headphones, the audio doesn't switch to the headphones, it still plays through the speakers.

I've tried playing with the settings, and still no change! I'm calling the hp service today, hopefully I can get some solutions.

  • Satelite L750 does not switch to headphone automatically

    I was messing around with the audio on the laptop, and now when i plug in a headphone into the jack socket the laptop will not switch automatically to the new output device.
    The only way i have found out to switch it was to change it to the default audio, but i have to switch it back when I'm finished.
    Is there anyway for it to switch when it discovers that a new output audio device is discovered.
    Thanks dan

    Go to control panel -> Realtek HD audio Manger
    In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings.
    There, you can find setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in.
    Plug in an headphones and select the option "headphone". Then the sound comes out only through the headphones

  • Audio not switching to Display when I plug in USB

    Normally, all audio automatically switches to the LED display speakers when I plug the USB connector into my MBP. It seems, after I manually switched the audio to my MBP once, this automatic switch doesn't happen anymore (I can still manually switch), and I can't find a way to reset it. Anyone experiencing this or know the answer?

    I found a solution. If you delete the two preference files located in the folder noted below and restart, my macbook/ACD reverts to auto switching sound output the way I expect it to work. One problem, I can not change ANYTHING related to system sounds behavior in the sound preference pane or the lack of auto switching returns. I have not exhaustively tested which options are linked, but all I've tried make the problem return. However, I am able change the system volume using keyboard keys or the menu bar slider without the problem returning.

  • Audio not switching to mini-dock

    I have a T43p and am placing it into a mini-dock.  (Type 2878) however the audio does not transfer to the dock's audio jacks.  I am running XP Pro.
    Any ideas on how to get this to happen?
    One more bit of information. Yesterday I docked the laptop while it was in hibernation, and when it came out, the audio had switched. I will try to repeat that experiment, along with sleep.  I have seen this behavior before so I suspect it is consistent.

    Hi:
    Does your notebook have an Intel or AMD processor?
    If it has an AMD processor, follow the instructions I posted at the link below for how to get the XP audio driver to work.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/multimedia-audio-controller-driver-for-wind...
    If it has an Intel processor try doing the same thing but with this driver instead...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-44349-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    You would browse to:  C:\SWSetup\sp28552\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmATI, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list.
    There are no Vista or W7 drivers for the card reader (Base System Device), so try the XP driver.  I think it will work.

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

    Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
    The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
    Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
    I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
    Any way to fix it?

    only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

  • My iPhone 5 is suddenly having audio issues through the headphone jack.

    So this is a strange situation, and I'll try to explain in depth so that someone might be able to suggest a solution. As reference, I have an iPhone 5 that I purchased in late-February. I've had every other model of iPhone except for the first iPhone, so I am pretty familiar with the device. I used to be on AT&T, and switched to Verizon when I upgraded to the iPhone 5.
    Two days ago, I was on a six hour road-trip, and I'd been playing my music like normal through my car's auxillary cable. After stopping for lunch, I went to plug my music again, but once the music started to play, I realized that only the drums were playing at normal levels while the vocals were very, very soft. I switched through a few different songs, and realized that all the songs were being played at different levels; sometimes the backup vocals were normal levels while the instrumentation and lead vocals were quiet, or vice versa. I decided to plug my iPhone in to charge, and when I did this, the audio levels were all normal. However, the iPhone was NOT charging. I removed the charger, and the audio went back to being weak and distorted. I went back and forth at this for a bit, trying to figure out what was going on.
    Since then and after some testing, I realize that my iPhone will now only charge anywhere EXCEPT in the car charger (I simply use my USB cable that came with my iPhone and plug it into the power adapter I have in the car). This morning, I tested the audio in my home speaker system, and I had the same audio issues. Only half the song's tracks would be at normal audio levels, while the other half would be at a very quiet, almost nonexistent level. I tried plugging my charger into the phone to see if that'd make a difference, but instead of the audio going back to normal like it does in the car, the music stopped and there was just crackling and very noisy distortion sounds.
    I'm super confused and not sure what to do. This has never happened to me with any of my iPhones. I am updating my software right now, and am hoping that that may help somehow. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. Any suggestions as to what I should do would be greatly appreciated!

    Do the new iMacs have digital audio out through the headphone jack?
    Yes.

  • Sound randomly switches from headphones to speakers

    Hi,
    I have a rather strange problem. This morning I turned on my Macbook, and the sound was doing something weird. It keeps switching between headphones and speakers, as if I'm plugging and unplugging them. Of course I have nothing plugged in, so the sound keeps cutting out and then coming back on. It switches about every two seconds, although rather sporadically. I tried to actually plug in some headphones, and this made the sound come out of the speakers rather than the headphones, and would only switch back and forth on its own once or twice a minute. After trying to restart twice, it just stopped doing this in the middle of me typing this message, and is now working fine. I had this happen once a while ago, but it stopped much faster last time, so I just didn't think of it. It isn't doing it now, but I'm worried it'll start again, and if it does, I can't very well use my computer, because it keeps doing that little click it does when switching, and I obviously can't use sound. It also makes the computer run slower in general when it does this, because it keeps switching the volume from what it was in headphone mode and in speaker mode. Does anyone know what causes this? I would love to avoid having this occur again...
    Thank you very much!
    Alex

    Ditto here on sound on and off, with a slight variation from those described above -- and, possibly, a major pre-existing condition in development.
    First, the possibly overarching issue: A few days ago, after air travel and all that entails, I was not able to boot up in the usual manner in an airport along the way. Once arrived at my destination I again kept getting the dread, small question mark midscreen beside a tiny version of the blue and white head profiles connected with the Mac logo. So I rebooted holding down Apple-C. After the screen scrolled through a few black and white screens of technical data in true PC nerd form, the machine did initiate the usual start-up screens. I logged in and was able to manipulate all programs. On the following day, I had the same problem turning on the machine. I have not dared turn it off since then.
    New Issue: Intermittent Sound. I opened Safari and iTunes today. The audio cuts out after a few seconds, but I can regain it by tapping into the internet streaming with the headphone jack. Then the audio through the headphones cuts off. When I pull out the headphone jack, I hear the speakers normally again. Then they go silent and I switch back to the headphones. This also happens when I am not on the internet but merely playing music files in my iTunes library. If I leave the machine to go to another room for a while, I sometimes hear the sound coming back randomly for short periods. All audio preferences have been checked out, and the First Aid utility verifies that the HD is OK. (The current HD was replaced six months ago, when I also got an external HD for backups.)
    After the move to a new geographical area I am, of course, in the hands of a different cable provider -- in case that means anything. A second Mac, an iBook, which also made the trip, is working just fine beside this old machine. So is the motherboard (5 yrs old) beginning to die? Or is there a software fix?
    Yes, I am currently backing up files to the external hard drive.
    Many thanks, if you can offer a diagnosis. --JJ

  • No Audio after switching from Headset/Speakers

    Product : Sound Blaster Z
    OS : Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    Issue : No audio when switching from headset to speaker or speaker to headset
    Description : I used to have it working perfectly fine before I formatted my computer. I could be playing a game or watching a movie using my speakers, then I would use the switch in the SB Control Panel to make it play through my headphones and everything would work. Now if I do that, I loose the audio from that program that is currently running. Meaning I have to restart the program and the audio will come through the specified audio device. Sounds like the windows setting "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" is acting up, but I have tried this with both the setting on and off.
    Any help is appreciated.

    AFAIK some applications loose audio on switch, while others don't.
    are you saying the same app once didn't loose audio on switch, now does after a format ?
    in other words, do you believe that before the format nothing ever lost audio on switch ? that would mean there's a way to solve it, as most of us, if not all, are having that same issue (which is Creative's fault, not Microsoft's).

  • Digital Audio not working on Satellite A505 S6012

    My digital audio stopped working suddenly.  I use HDMI to send the video out of my laptop to my projector.  I had been successfully using, for over a year, a digital audio cable in the headphone (SP/DIF) jack to output the sound to my home receiver.  The default audio set in the control panel is Realtek Digital Audio.
    If I set the output to speakers and plug headphones in the jack, I get sound.  If I set the output to Realtek Digital Audio and plug the digital audio cable in, I get no sound.  I've tried new cables, changing the input to a different conection on my receiver, reinstalling the Realtek driver, and, as a last resort, completely recovering my laptop to the factory setting.  Digital Audio still does not work.
    Any suggestions?  This is the main way we watch movies in my home.

    hi, have you try out srs audio program it nice!

  • HP Pavilion p7-1421 Desktop PC BEATS AUDIO not working.

    Hi, new here with thankfully my first problem with the desktop in the subject line.
    Somewhere along the way, the Beats Audio stopped working correctly. The Equalizer
    sliders will not move at all, and the "Test Speakers" button will highlight the left, then right
    speaker, but no sound will be produced.
    For background, I did install StartDoc, a program that gives one back the original Windows 7 "Start"
    button and desktop. Other than that, I have not installed anything, except the reccommended HP upgrades.
    Also, the machine is obviously running Windows 8, and I have NOT switched to 8.1.
    I see on the Notebook page lots of questions re. Beats not working and solutions, but each user is asked
    for the specific model, OS etc. This is why I chose to post a new thread, so that the experts can address
    my exact machine.
    Thanks in advance,
    John
    This question was solved.

    Hi srv1954,
    I suggest reinstalling Beats Audio.
    Open the Charms menu, select "Search".
    Enter "Recovery Manager" and then select Recovery Manager from the list. Click "Yes "at the User Account Control.
    Select "Hardware Driver Reinstallation". Select "Next". Select 'IDT High Definition Audio CODEC".
    Select "Next"
    Follow prompts to reinstall and reboot your PC.

  • MacBook Pro audio not working. Help?

  • Windows Audio always switches to 5.1 settings

    Hi,
    before I start, I already searched this forum regarding my problem, with no results.
    Basic information: I'm using headphones (Sennheiser HD 598), which are connected to the Headphone jack of my Sound Blaster Z. My settings in the Sound Blaster Software are Heaphones, everything else (SBX Pro Studio, Equalizer, etc) is switched off. Windows Audio Settings are set to Stereo.
    My problem is that every time I restart my Computer the Windows Audio Settings switch to 5.1 and I have to manually switch it to Stereo again.
    Edit: Well, I'm an idiot Found the solution with the SBZ Switcher

    I think I may have solved my problem. I recently installed Full Spectrum Warrior. I installed it to a different dri've than all of my other games. Lo and behold, no audio problems. After some further investigation, I believe that the audio problem lies in an old hard disk dri've that is in the beginning stages of failure. After I actually thought about it, my load times from this hard disk have been taking forever, but Full Spectrum Warrior loads very quickly. The dri've is going to die! But I guess it's ok, the dri've is almost 0 years old, and this is the 3rd computer its been in.
    Thanks for your help,
    Josh
