Crackling speakers AND headphones!

So, I just got my laptop back from the repair depot. It took over a month, but whatever. It's back. Everything seems okay EXCEPT my speakers crackle. Not just with loud sounds, but with pretty much every bit of noise. It doesn't do it when there is no sound coming through.
Now, I'd figure it would be just a speaker problem and I normally do my 'laptopping' with headphones on anyway. So, I plug in my headphones and the crackling is still there.
It didn't do this before I sent it in, but now it does. They did replace just about everything inside though.
I also tried with a couple different pairs of headphones just to see if I happened to pick a bad pair.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Tech support doesn't do anything to help.
I have a Satellite P500. I'm not sure where to find the exact model number though (like, P500-ST6822 or whatever) so, if that's need then just let me know how to find it. I checked onlineregistration.gedb.toshiba.com but that didn't help.
Specs:
System Manufacturer/Model: TOSHIBA/Satellite P500
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8700 2.53GHz
Memory: 6144MB RAM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M
Hard Drives: Hitachi HTS723232L9A360 - 320GB

Look for a label on the bottom with something like PSPG8E-01E007EN or PSPGSA-024003.

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.

Internal speakers and headphones are not working

I have hp g6 2231tx os Windows 8, brought it a month ago..now it's internal speakers and headphones are not working..I enabled in playback device from sound mixer and reinstalled drivers but still not working..it's because of hardware or software??

Hi,
It could be either Hardware or Software related, so try the following and let me know.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58501-59000/sp58517.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Speakers and Headphone Jack stopped working

I own an HP Envy 17 3D (1195ea). Its running Win7 64 Pro.
Yesterday the laptop was working perfectly fine. I didnt move it and it stayed on the same desk. When I shut it down last night (12th Sept) it was working with both the speakers and headphones. This morning I turned it on and it applied some windows updates. I then tried to play some MP3s and there was no sound coming out of either the speakers or headphones.
I have done a system restore to the 31st Aug to see if that solves the issue without any luck. I have also downloaded the latest drivers for the Audio and both uninstalled the old ones and then installed the latest with no fix.
As far as windows is concerned the sound card is working as advertised. The audio is playing according to VLC, Winamp and WMP and there are no problems with the hardware in the Device Manager. I have also used the windows troubleshooter in control panel and that comes back with no problems.
If I run the beats software and plug in my headphones it detects the headphones so the socket is working correctly. Just with no sound. Equally when I unplug them it switches back to speaker mode.
Audio is still working over HDMI on my TV as well.
I am by no means a noob with computers and have built a number from scratch but I am literally stumped by this.
Any ideas?

iMac PowerPCs being over 8 years old are due for a new PRAM battery every 4 or so years. This may affect your output settings. If your PRAM battery is less than 4 years old, then you may need to modify the Audio Midi Setup application, or rest the PRAM. PowerPC Macs stopped being sold new in 2006.
If your Mac is newer, you posted in the wrong forum. If it is the same year, go to Apple menu -> About This to find if it is PPC (PowerPC, PowerMac), or Intel.

Use speakers and headphones at the same time

Hi!
Is it possible to use both exits to play different songs? I mean, use speakers and headphones like different channels, I'd like to use them to mix music and it would be very useful if I could listen a song by headphones while the other one is playing.
Laptop has two headphones exits, can I use them as different channels as well??
thanks!

Nope...If you really want to do that, you need to use a external device like Audio2DJ....

Possible to S/W switch btwn 2.1 speakers and headphones with Audigy

Rather than spend money on an external headphone/speaker switch for gaming, I was wondering if its possible to set up the Audigy 4 to switch between my 2. speakers and headphones without having to swap the plugs around each time. I heard some sound cards can do this in software and have a dedicated headphone jack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I plug my headphones in the my laptop I still have sound from my speakers and headphones

Hello, I'm having trouble with the sound on
my laptop and it's only just started to happen.
When I plug my headphones in the my laptop my speakers don't get muted, So I
have sound from my speakers and headphones at the same time.
I've reinstalled the drivers and this didn't work, So I'll hoping you can help me.
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC, Product number A8M62EA Windows 7 64-bit

Here's the trick (and it's been verified on 3 other Win 7 systems):
1) R click on your speaker icon, select 'Recording Devices' (if you have the sounds dialog up, it's the 2nd tab 'Recording')
2) R click in the white space, be sure that BOTH "show disabled devices" AND "show disconnected devices" are checked.
3) **Now this step is going to take a little bit of thought for each computer being used: on my laptop (HP Elitebook) I get a device "Stereo Mix", ENABLE this device.
4) Click on Properties, go to the tab 'Listen'
5) Check the box "Listen to this device", also change the drop-down box below "Playback through this device" to be your second audio device
-- To verify that you've done this correctly, go back to the Sound dialog tab Playback, you should now see both of your audio devices showing the little green graphs moving.
Here are the specific settings that I have on my laptop, maybe this will help with your settings:
Speakers- GN9350 (Default Communications Device)
Speakers- SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Default Device)
Stereo Mix- 'Listen' feature points this device to my GN9350 headset.
Let us know how it goes!

Sound Blaster Z Series - Outputting audio on speakers and headphones at same time?

Hey all,
I got a Zx at the beginning of the year as a gift and really liking it so far. Finally got around to hooking up speakers to it and they sound good, but I wasn't getting any output from them at first. Then I realized you have to switch in the SB control panel between them and the headphones; also downloaded the SBZ Switcher which definitely helps with quick switches.
Question though, is there any way to enable output on both speakers and headphones at the same time? Based on what I've read, the switching is done by a relay in the card so I'm guessing it's impossible for both of them to be engaged at the same time. Though if this was doable, it would be awesome to have outputs for both the channels and configure some software to use one or the other. It'd be nice to listen to music on the speakers while routing other stuff through the headphones. If all else fails, maybe I can get Creative to RMA the Titanium HD that this card replaced and run dual sound cards; that should definitely work =D.
Cheers and thanks in advance!

Yes, that's right. And I want to switch simply between speakers and headphones. Only one with sound, the other mute. At the moment, when I plug in my headphones, the speakers becomes mute. That's ok, but . I always want to let my headphones connected and 2.1 when I switch sound to the speakers, the sound also comes out of the headphones. It's not possbile to mute the headphones only. There must be a way.

Loud buzzing noise when I play music and watch videos. Happens through speakers and headphones

Hey guys would really appreciate your help.
I bought a HP laptop in January which started to make buzzing sounds when playing audio from iTunes and YouTube as well. I thought the laptop was faulty so I returned it.
I then got an exchange and instead got a hp-15-d051sa and it does the same thing! I have looked everywhere on these forums to resolve this issue and one source said to uninstall the HP assistant but my laptop is still doing it. It happens on both my speakers and headphones.
Any help will be much appreciated because this has happened on two brand new HP laptops so I'm sure this is happening to other people as well.
Regards,

Same with me nothing has changed. However what reduces it for me is if you change your battery settings to high performance. But it still does it, you will just find it will do it less.

MacBook speakers and headphones are not working! Please help.

MacBook OS X 10.6.8
2009 model
I was watching a movie and my MacBook randomly shutdown by itself. I turned it back on and had no more problems, so I restarted the movie. The audio was not working in my headphones. So I tried the internal speakers and there was still no sound. I did a quick google search which led me to trying various options and finally called Apple Support on the phone.
I've tried resetting my PRAM but it only showed an alternating screen between grey and black. Nothing happened. I also reset SMC but that didn't work either. I have checked everything in system preferences, Audio MIDI, etc. and it all appears to be correct.
While on the phone we found that when I plug headphones or an external speaker in, it does not show up on the "output" menu under System Preferences > Sound.
I do NOT have the money to go to a computer store and the nearest Apple Store is 2 hours away. I desperately need help because most of the work I do involves having to be able to listen to sound. Please help if you can. I'm not ignorant when it comes to computers but I'm no genius. If you have any ideas, please be specific. Your help is very appreciated.
PS. When a speaker is plugged in at first, I hear a little crackling from it. The same happens to what sounds like internal speakers if I start a video.

Hi,
Please use the following instructions to check and fix:

Sound playing through speakers and Headphones at the same time...

Hi everyone, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 S5849. It is only about 6 months old. Now whenever I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, sound keeps playing through the speakers and in the headphones at the same time. Also the speakers do always have a crackling sound like they are blown. I have been trying to fix it for awhile now but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello again, sorry that the driver did NOT resolve the issue. What I suggest we try is the Support Assistant. This will do a scan on your entire computer and if the computer does have a issue it will find it and show you how to resolve the issue. Please click on the following link to get to the download. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-110990-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
