Cq50-142us windows 7 64 bit headphones work but no sound from built in Altec-Lansing speakers

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my CQ50-142US after the hard disk died.  I've installed all the drivers that apply, and in particular the Conexant driver for the built-in audio parts.  The system has built-in Altec-Lansing speakers.
I get no sound from the built in speakers, but if I plug in stereo headphones to the front-panel headphone jack, they work and they produce stereo sound no problem.
I can't see any way to test the speakers.  If the system has any built-in diagnostic capability, I can't find it. 
A Google search suggests I'm not the only person with similar problems.
Suggestions?

You can isolate this issue to a hardware or software fault by running a live distro of Ubuntu linix. See step number 2 to install it to a USB memory stick.
If the device is not recognized by Ubuntu during its config operations that the probem is likely to be with the notebook's system board.
Is your notebook still within the standard one year warranty period?

  • Viewsonic VX2453MH-LED Display Works, but no sound from monitor

    I'm using 15" MBP (early 2011), OS X Lion, and I saw earlier threads about this disaply not working (vertical bars).  I figured that part out, but am having trouble with no sound coming from the built-in speakers.  I have a Moshi HDMI adapter and ViewSonic's HDMI cable.  I have no sound, though, and I even put in their supplied audio cable into the headphone jack, which didn't work.  Maybe I need s/t else?  I love the monitor and not having the sound won't kill me, but I did get it because it was primarily integrated into one whole unit.  Thoughts would be greatly appreciated!  Btw, called Viewsonic and they were no help.

    After I click on playback devices and bring up the Sound window, I can see the monitor icon with the label Realtek HDMI Output, as well as icons for Realtek Digital Output, Speakers, and Headphones.  Speakers and Headphones are greyed out since they are not plugged in.  Realtek Digital Output is not greyed out and says Ready.  The monitor icon is also not greyed out, has the check mark on a green circle background, and is marked as the Default Device.  Since it is already set as the default device, the Set Default button is greyed out.  When I double click Realtek HDMI Output and open the Realtek HDMI Output Properties window (Item 6 on the checklist) and click the Supported Formats tab (Item 7), there are no check boxes next to the choices under sample rates, but the various rates are there:  44.1 kHz, 48.0 kHz, 96.0kHz, and 192.0 kHz.  The box for Encoded Formats just says:  No compressed formats found.  There doesn't appear to be a way to select a particular sample rate among the four that are listed.  I've tried clicking and right clicking on 48.0 kHz with no effect, and the apply button remains greyed out regardless.  Clicking on ok or cancel also makes no difference.
    Really frustrating  .....

  • On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

    On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
    do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
    I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
    Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

  • I get sound on my ipod touch with headphones in but no sound through....

    I get sound on my ipod touch with headphones in but no sound through the built in speaker on my ipod touch. I got it in December so it's a new model.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    can you see the speaker icon and the changing of the volume bar if you press your volume buttons?
    Try this with the headphones plugged in and then unplug them and see if the volume for the speaker is displayed.
    Is your volume limit set to max?
    Set a volume limit for music and videos: Choose Music > Volume Limit and drag the slider to adjust the maximum volume

  • HT5517 video is working but no sound in airplay

    I have an Apple Tv both 2nd and 3rd generations. My vidoe is working but no sound when trying to play a video from my Iphone. I use Airport express for wi-fi. I am able to do everything else with Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
        2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router.
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

    Hi @SNJY ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv9730us Notebook and not playing sound. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound. Please remove the headphones for troubleshooting.
    Here is another step to try.
    1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
    2. Select Playback devices
    3. Right click Speakers
    4. Enable it and set as Default
    5. Click Apply/Ok 
     A windows update KB2962407 could have caused the no sound. Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update. Right click it and select Uninstall.
    Hope this helps resolve the sound.
    Thanks.

  • Plugged in headphones, the headphones work, but the laptop still blast the sounds

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a Lenovo Twist, the 12.5 inch version with Windows 8. It works wonderfully but one problem I have with it is that sometimes (about 75% of the time), I plug in the headphone\, the headphones work fine, but in addition to having sound through the headphones, the laptop continue to blast the sound. The sound is at the same level if I leave in or remove the headphones. What is the problem?
    On a separate, completely unrelated note, how do I search for a particular app in the Windows 8 store? They only seem to have categories, and no search feature. Thanks in advance for the help!

    I was having a similar problem. I called tech support and was walked through this solution:
    Go to Control Panel,
    then Realtek HD Audio Manager,
    then Device Advanced Settings,
    then switch from Classic mode to Multi-stream mode.

  • Logitech USB headphones - microphone works but not sound output

    Seems like the sound output to my Logitech USB headphone has stopped. The microphone inputs but the sound output is blocked. Could be technical issue with the set but was wondering of anyone else has this problem after the last update to 10.14.0

    ChickInVici,
    Having similar issue with iPad 2.  No volume on Apps or Music (except when using headphones).  Just started happening after months of no issues.  Have reset/ restored with no solution.  Can you provide more detail with your solution?  I went to >settings>accessibility>voiceover.....but could not find headphones etc... what am I missing.  Could you be more specific on what you changed to resolve your issue.
    thanks

  • No speaker sound. Headphones work, but not speakers.

    This problem is driving me crazy.  I simply cannot get speaker sound.  I've even used recovery discs to return to original factory condition.  My computer is six months old, HP Pavilion dv6 3163cl.
    Please help!!

    Do you get sound from the speakers in any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not games/notifications ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • Speakers work but no sound

    Speakers work but cannot get any sound output.  Running windows 7 on Intel iMac.  Speakers sound on booting and graphics in Control panel and on toolbar indicate sound is being recieved but nothing comes out of speakers or headphones.

    It is an iMac from 2008. You can download the .zip file directly to a new folder on the Windows side, unzip it and run setup.exe from this folder.
