Enabling headphone to speakers auto swit

I recently had to reinstall my drivers for my Audigy 2 zs platinum pro, and I would like to know how to get my software to automatically change my speakers settings to headphones when plugging them in from 4. speakers, and vice versa. Right now it doesn't do it. I hope this is possible. Thanks.

you can bypass the need for a splitter if you just select "Stereo Surround" under CMSS-3D , while using the 4/4. speaker settings... connect your headphones to the "rear" speakers output and off you go.

Headphones plugged in, but sound is coming out from both headphones and speakers

My laptop has had this problem for quite some time now, it first materialized when I updated to Windows 8.1. I had recently upgraded to Windows 10, and the problem fixed itself. But when I used the laptop the next day, it reverted back to playing from both headphones and speakers, so it's not really a problem with the hardware. I've also restored the laptop multiple times (using restore point), and the problem gets fixed for a day, then comes back the next day. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, but no luck.
Laptop does not recognize the headphones even when they're plugged in.
Any other solutions?

Hi @Alpha_ ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b017c Sleekbook and not playing sound correctly. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
Here is another step to try.
1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio is your default.
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues as headphones or speakers.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
Hope this helps with the sound.
Thanks.

My iPhone 4 will not let me play my music I bought on iTunes or pandora or YouTube with out my headphones or speakers plugged in. I can play my ringtone without them plugged in but that's all. Also my iPhone will not turn off. Please help

I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

After I unplug headphones, the speakers no longer work until rebooted. Anyone else experience this? Also had the same issue on the Droid Razr Maxx.

Ahh. We can still help find the culprit, TeaParty14. Do you have any 3rd party applications installed to play your music? Are you able to hear any audio if you plug the headphones back into the phone instead of rebooting? Any audio for calls through the phone direct or through speakerphone?

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

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

Docked T500 - Switch between headphones and speakers

Hey guys,
I am using my T500 with an Advanced Mini Dock at work. I keep the headphones (with microphone) plugged into the docking station.
Sometimes I want to listen to the audio on my laptop's speakers rather than inside the headphones. Is there any way I can make this switch without unplugging the jack from the docking station.
I know that above the volume bar for some systems you are able to switch between headphones and speakers and also, up until ~1 month ago I was able to do this from the SmartAudio utility, but now I can't. I can just switch between SPDIF and headphones.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit and I have all the latest drivers and apps that come using the "System Update" utility.
Please let me know if you have a solution for this.
Thank you,
Ciprian

I'm pretty sure that the blame for this lies entirely with Microsoft and their stupid hardware-detecting W7 OS. Yes, it actually detects when you unplug the headphones, tells you what you just did, and promptly resets all sorts of things. The most sensible thing you can do (apart from reverting to XP, which doesn't do this) is to plug an external stereo jack to stereo jack socket extension lead, and plug either your headphones or speakers into that instead, whilst leaving the plug end permanently in the laptop. Microsoft can't pull that stupid stunt on an external connector, so you should be okay with that.

Issues with headphones and speakers under Windows

Sound Card: Sound Blaster Li've! Value (Came with an older Gateway PC)
OS: Windows XP Professional with SP2
Problem:
When installing Windows XP on a clean dri've(Fresh Install) I am unable to get sound from my speakers and headphones at the same time. After numerous testing I've determined that this is simply a Windows XP/SB Li've Value issue of some kind.
My temporary fix for this has simply been to switch my headphone and speaker plugs on my sound card with each other and go under the sound properties and turn off Digital output. Not a big deal just annoying having to do this.
I've had this card installed with Windows ME on my system and Windows 2000 and did not have this issue as described above. I simply turned on digital output plugged in both my headphones and speakers to the back of my sound card and had sound from both with no problems what so ever.
I read somewhere that switching the devldr.exe (which I actually tried) that was installed with windows over to the devldr.exe on the XP setup cd. This actually worked for a moment. Once I rebooted I no longer had sound from both my speakers and headphones.
What I'm wondering is if I could switch the devldr.exe with either the Windows ME version (not sure if it uses the file) or with the Windows 2000 version would this fix my problem, or has anyone had this problem and found a solution other then what I have stated?
Thanks

HP pavilion dv6 headphones work speakers do not

HP pavilion dv6 headphones work speakers do not. Updated drivers, ran utilities, Volume control options

Hi Romero49,
The next step would be to do a system factory reset. This recovery option returns all of the notebook's software to the condition it was in at the time of purchase. Any programs installed after purchase and any files you created will be removed entirely.
Here is a document on how to perform this. Please make sure you back up all your documents and pictures before doing this.

Pavilion dv6000: Enable on-board speakers

I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook running Vista. Recently I bought a pair of external speakers which connect to the computer via USB cable and proprietary software.
When trying to get these external speakers to work I went into Control Panel > Sound and selected an option to disable the onboard speakers. This caused the icon for the onboard speakers to vanish.
Now the notebook plays sound only through the external speakers. Can someone please offer me some help in re-enabling the onboard speakers?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

In the absence of any responses I began scratching around myself to try and find clues that might lead to a solution.
Since I thought the notebook's sound-card drivers may need to be reinstalled I searched for "hp notebook drivers" and in very short order found myself looking at this page: http://tinyurl.com/kkjqrs. One of the headings there is "Resolving No Sound or Audio Problems in Vista" -- it was right up my street.
After following the method for "Perform a simple sound system test" and reading subsequent headings it dawned on me that Vista does not by default display the icons of disabled devices on this notebook. Right-click, select display disabled devices and I was home and hosed.
I'll give myself a pat on the back!
PS: Thanks to CherlyG for posting this link else where: http://tinyurl.com/2krh3u . If there is a next time at least I'll know how to post the correct model and part numbers, the sort of information that is very helpful to have in hand before one commences an enuiry for computer help.

Headphones and Speakers at the same time on ZS 2

Hiya
I have the Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
I have a set of normal speakers with the one connector and a set of headphones that has 2 connectors, one for the mic and one for the headphone speakers. This is also a USB set so i have that option aswell.
Now i know i can put the headphones in the front panel but i dont really want to do this as my pc would mean have the fron panel open.
My question is, how am i able to use both the headphones and speakers at the same time. At this moment if i plug the USB headphones in they take over and no sound comes out of the speakers.
I would like both if poss
Thx
Paul

You can get a stereo splitter adapter/cable and with it, you can have the headphone and speaker connect to the same output jack from the soundcard.

Headphones and speakers playing at the same time on Win 8.1

When I plug in a headphone to my laptop the speakers don't cut out, both headphones and speakers play at the same time instead of one cutting out automatically.

You may try to reinstall the sound driver for your computer from this link http://www.sony-asia.com/support/product/sve15115en. We kindly recommend contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony-asia.com/section/support for your Asia Pacific model computer.

Satellite L300 - can headphone and speakers work simultaneously?

I have a Satellite L300 with self-installed Windows XP (Realtek Sound Driver 5.10.0.5559 from Toshiba website).
Plugging the headphones turns the speakers off. I want that speakers and headphones working simultaneously. What can I do? Thank you for help.
Sincerely H. Reinhold

Thank you for your answer.
1. I think, it is not a "mechanism in the headphone jack", because if I plug the Headphone, the speakers turn off not immediately but a short time later. So I think it must be a software action.
2. "But why do you want to have both of them working simultaneously?"
I want to trigger an electronic control when a sound signal is starting and parallel I will hear the sound. If the headphone speaker switching would be a software action, I need no external speakers, as you have suggested. A change in the configuration is always the most elegant solution. That's why my asking.

Ive damaged the aux in port and now the volume is locked. how can i enable my internal speakers?

ive damaged the aux in port and now the volume is locked. how can i enable my internal speakers?

rizmasterp,
Thsi not a lot of nfo to go on, nor have you included the OSX, model of you MBP. PLease post that so that anyone reading this might be able to offer some help, as well as some more info on "I've damaged my aux port.
That being said, all I can suggest is to go to system preferences>sound>output tab and see if you can select internal speakers.
With the info available all I would otherwise suggest is a pram reset:
Power off the MBP, Power back up holding option, command, P R (no commas) hold these immediatly afterpower up, contine to hold them till you hear the start chime 2 times then release. See if your speakers work.
Post the afore mentioned info and someone here might be able to offer some more help. If in fact you have physically damaged the port that might require repair from Apple r an authorized Apple service provider. (AASP)
Best

Want my Headphones and Speakers to work at the same t

Hiya. I have an Audigy 2 ZS. I can't figure out how to get my headphones and speakers working simultaneously. I'm sure i used to be able to rig it up like that. Now i can't figure out how i used to do it. I don't have a splitter of any kind. I have the option "Mute speakers when headphone jack is detected" unchecked. One thing i do remember is that i used to have to turn up my speakers real loud so i could hear stuff from my computer, louder than should of been needed. Hope someone can help, thanks.

Both stereo?
Same source (same music out from both):
- speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
- speakers set to 4/4.
(- CMSS to Stereo Surround (if not already working w/ above settings))
Diri'ver modes on software:
DirectSound and MME - channels /2 (this is default),
WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels 3/4
ASIO --> Wave R/L
Different sources (one player outputs through Front L/R, the other through Rear L/R):
- speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
- speakers 4/4.
- CMSS disabled
- software that allows free output channel selection for second source (like NI Traktor BeatportPlayer, Foobar2000, etc.)
- your current player outputs through "Front L/R", the other player is set to output through "Rear L/R"
Driver modes:
WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels /2 or 7/6 = Front L/R, 5/6 = Rear L/R
ASIO - outputs 2/3 Front L/R, 4/5 Rear L/R
NOTE:
Above settings works w/ Audigy 2 (6. card). If not w/ Zs, it's quite easy to find those settings which works for it.
- http://www.nati've-instruments.com/index.php?id=beatportplayer_us
- www.foobar2000.org
- www.asio4all.com (you need this w/ non ASIO card only (Li've!, Li've!24-bit, older, Audigy SE, LS,...))
