Compaq 615: Wont switch to headphones !!

Hello.
I bought this laptop for like 3 weeks ago. It all worked fine, and suddenly it wouldnt auto switch when i plugged in my headphones.
My headphones are working all fine on other PCs, but i wont switch when i plug in!
Any fixes on this?

I have the same problem when installing DJ softwares like Virtual DJ or Traktor, the software takes sole control of the (3.5 mm line-out) headphones playback, the other software plays on integrated speakers. I want to force all sound through my headphones.

    what can I do?

    Uninstall the current audio driver and install it again.
    other option is trying driver from microsoft update.

  • Hp compaq 615 hdd

    i just bought a hp compaq 615 with vista
    and i have heard rumors that the hdd inside is
    very unstable and break very easily compared to other hdds
    when i first got it the hdd broke like the fourth day so i sent it in to hp
    and they exchanged it, right now it seems to work fine
    should i trust the new hdd or buy a new one?
    the store which i bought it from said that the hp compaq 615 pc
    has a uniqe hdd which is only compatible with that model
    and that a new hdd would be either very expensive or extremely hard to find
    they also said that its almost impossible to switch hdd without breakin the pc
    but thats not what i have heard from my friends
    so what is the right answer?

    okay thanx alot
    you have all been really helpfull

  • Compaq 615 Laptop not turning on

    I have a compaq 615.
    Yesterday, I noticed the little white LED on the charging port wont come on.Laptop wont even come on, everytime I pressed the power button, the usual white light which has now turned light blue/green comes on for a few seconds and goes off without powering the laptop.
    When I plug the charger, the little LED displays light blue/green instead of the usual white light that denotes that its charging properly. the light blue/green light comes on for a few seconds and also the LED on the LAN port blinks red about 10times.
    I have tried sitting the memory modules properly, still laptop wont come on.
    What could be the problem please?

  • Compaq 615 crashed. Cannot install the recovery from the partition

    Hi,
    I got a crash on my compaq 615. I want to restore my comp/windows by using my recovery on the partition but it didn't work.
    I want to put a new windows 7 on my comp by usb/dvd but it also didn't work. During the install the windows fily copy is ready(100%) in a few seconds but the next step: windows file extracting stays on 0%. Every time i try.
    When i turn the laptop off and start it again there is the following message:
    1720-smart hard drive detects imminent failure (failing attr C8)
    What can i do? What's the problem? Can anyone help me out?

    Hi:
    Your hard drive has conked out, and you need to purchase a new one.
    Then you should be able to reinstall W7.

  • 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

  • Brand new 5s turned itself off, now wont switch back on?

    Using my phone was at about 20% battery, put it in my pocket and went to use 5 mins later and screen is black and wont switch back on. Has been sitting on charge for about 25 minutes and still nothing even when pressing or holding the home button or top switch. It was fresh out the box yesterday so less than 24hrs old! Any ideas?

    Keep in mind, the iPhone is really a mini-computer, & like all computers, sometimes(although rare with an iPhone) needs to be re-booted.
    For all pratical purposes, that's what a reset is.

    Hi; If it is your carrier that is trying to be activated then you will need to take it to them (AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc...) and have them fix it for you.

  • My ipod wont switch on

    my ipod 4 wont switch on

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod wont switch on anymore. ive tried everything! what can i do?

    my ipod wont switch on anymore! what can i do??

    Get it serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. The choice is yours.  There is no telling what the exact cause of the issue is whether it be a dead battery or another damaged internal component.

  • Ipod wont switch on at all

    i've got a 30gb vid ipod, as it was updating i disconnected the usb cos i thought it was restoring not updating, now it wont switch on, reset or do anything its just completely blank.
    tried leaving it in for charge overnight aswell, didnt work either.
    plz plz help, i'm really ****

    i hate to ask a dumb question, but I've made this mistake as well ...
    Are you sure the Hold button is off?
    Also plugging it in to a power supply other than having it run off it's battery might help.
    Hope you find the problem.

  • Ipod nano wont switch off

    I have a 4g ipod nano. I went away for a month and left it at home unused, only to find when I got back it now wont switch off when I hold the middle button of the click wheel and stays permantly on. I have tried to restore and reset it, and yes, the hold button is off.

    Welcome to discussions
    Well first, you're supposed to hold down the "play/pause" button to put the iPod to sleep. Try that and see if it works.
    If that doesn't work, press and hold the select and menu button at the same time until the screen goes black/blank. This is a soft reset of your iPod. Your music will be safe.

  • Help! My Ipod wont switch off!

    please help me..
    my ipod wont switch off..i hv a 30GB ipod video..
    normally it will switch off automatically after a few mins if i dont play songs, but recently it wont switch off and it's using up the battery!
    and when i press hold Play button to switch off manually, it doesnt hv any effect..
    help!
    does this happen to any of you??

    I think this is some type of bug. I have had this problem with my iPod photo and now my 5th gen. iPod.
    It's most noticeable after ejecting the iPod from the computer. It takes a short while before you an turn the iPod off. Sometimes it will not turn off when viewing a video. So hit the menu button and start playing a song - then it will probably turn off. It's a bug because the iPod will sense the button press by changing the top porting of the display (toggling time etc..) but it simply won't turn off. I wonder if it's something to do with the hard drive spinning at the moment???
    Anyway, try playing a song and try again.
