Envy laptop confused about aux jack being plugged/unplugged; no sound from internal speakers

So I was typing all normal like, didn't do anything stupid or weird, but suddenly the music I was playing through my laptop's internal speakers just stopped.
And despite nothing being plugged in the auxiliary jack, the laptop thinks something IS plugged in and doesn't play sound through the internal speakers. So no sound at all.
And on the flip side, when I plug headphones in the aux jack, the laptop says that "You have just unplugged a device from the audio jack" but then plays normally through the headphones. Internal speakers still silent.
It's like the laptop suddenly got confused in whatever component registers the auxiliary connection, but I don't understand why it still plays through the headphones when it thinks there is nothing plugged in. And also why the internal speakers don't work AT ALL.
It has Beats Audio, if that helps at all. I tried restarting, messing around with the sound settings but I honestly have no idea what I'm doing and anyways nothing has changed from that. 
Anyways, yeah, help?
This is a pretty new laptop, only about a month old.

Hi @nematoda 
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic  place to find answers and tips.
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you have lost  sound  on the internal speakers and when you connect headphones you get the message that you disconnected the device but then plays sound through the headphones.
Here is a link to No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8) that may help to overcome this issue.
If this has not been resolved I recommend contacting HP support for assistance as the notebook is only a month old.

  • No sound from internal speakers however i get sound through headphones when plugged in

    i am not getting sound out of the laptop internal speakers when nothing is plugged into the headphone jacks.  if i plug headphones or external speakers the sound is verified to be on because i get sound / volume.  Any thoughts /  ideas?  Thanks

    Sorry, I do not have a solution to offer. But I have exactly the same issue. HP Pavilion TX2000, now just out of Costco warranty period (naturally). Sound from built-in and external speakers worked for about 2 years and a handful of months. A couple weeks ago, when I unplugged the external speakers, the built-in speakers would work only sporadically. Eventually, the built-in speakers ceased to work at all. Now, external speakers have ceased to work, too. I can get something resembling sound from Logitech USB speakers, but if these are configured for stereo the sound crackles and pops beyond belief. Setting to mono works. For now.
    I can only believe this is a hardware failure. Time-to-failure for this product is unacceptable, but what does HP care? It made it past the warranty, right?

  • No sound from internal speakers anymore, only can use headphone jack

    My Macbook just stopped working with the internal speakers - now no sound... but if I plug in headphones I can hear audio. Also, when I look at the headphone jack, it is lit up red inside! very weird. Anyone know what's going on? It really stinks to have no audio.
    I know the speakers still work because when I restart the computer I hear the start up chime.

    apple had to service the laptop and replace
    something- but it's fixed
    hey. it's not a HUGE problem, although it's cool that you got it fixed. i currently (like, as i speak) have the same problem, but after reading a little bit, it seems that there's a little switch in there that's stuck. it determines whether ther's a headphone jack plugged in or not, and the red light just signals that it's not, but that switch says it is. so will apple really fix it? how long did it take?

  • No sound from internal speakers, red glowing light in headphone jack

    Okay. Have seen a few posts on this topic, but scattered symptoms, resolutions and ideas. Here is my timeline and plan:
    My speakers went out spontaneously running 10.4.5 when I switched to battery power. We had a blackout here in L.A. and I was trying to play a DVD for the kids- no internal speaker sound.
    * There is a red light glowing from the headphone jack. Never noticed this before, it seems to be a sign associated with the problem.
    * External speakers/headphones work fine.
    * Absolutely no sound from any app, alert or startup unless something (speakers/headphones)external is plugged in.
    * if nothing is plugged in, the slider volume control in the menu bar is greyed out at full volume. Sound pref panel only shows "digital out" as choice, but is greyed out. "Built-in speakers" is absent as a choice.
    What I've tried:
    Select/deselect "look for spekaers" option in iTunes.
    Update to 10.4.7
    Update all listed apps to latest in Software update (iTunes, QT, etc.)
    Trash sound prefs
    Zap PRAM
    Clean install from OEM DVD
    Restore System from previous backup (although last backup may have been corrupt because I may not have noticed the problem for a while.)
    That's about it.
    My plan: Take PB to genius bar today and see what they say.
    I'll report back what they say.

    I have had the same syptoms as the above people in my PowerBook and was hating life without sound. i got to thinking about what earlier people had posted and concluded it could not be a software problem, that it had to be a hardware problem. I thought, maybe the headphone jack was just dirty, you know, plugging headphones/speakers in and out of the computer many times, it could have just gotten dirty. If I just clean it with rubbing alcohol, maybe that will do the trick. It did! I have been going two days and am doing great!
    THE BOTTOMLINE!
    Clean the headphone jack out! I used a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. (I have found that making my own q-tip with a toothpick and a small amount of cotton works better because it is thinner than the stick for a q-tip. Just twist the cotton to the edge of the toothpick.)
    For all you people out there who try this and it works for you post for other people so they can be more confident that it does work.

  • 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!

  • Can I disable broken headphone jack? and get sound to internal speakers?

    HP G72T-200 CTO Notebook PC WINDOWS 7
    My laptop has a broken headphone jack (piece of plastic fell out of it) and thinks there is something plugged into the jack and won't default to the internal speakers. I've rolled back, reloaded drivers, run audio sound fix it thing, etc. Headphones will work if you hold plug and jiggle to the side. Is there anyway to just disable the jack so I can hear sound through the internal speakers?

    Hey TR,
    21Jan...
    Can you stick a powered speaker on that jack and fix it so it doesn't wiggle much until you can get it fixed? 
    22 Jan...
    The only fixes I have found for this are for Linux. 
    One can risk a registry fix, though I've not found a sure way to do it.  The fix depends on knowing your sound card (I do not), and knowing the exact entry fix (I might, but I won't risk your system).
    My sage advice is to get it fixed and be done with it.

  • Compaq presario laptop dv6109ea audio is not changing to headphone from internal speakers

    hai when i installed windows in my compaq v6109ea laptop the audio is coming from internal speakers.when i want to talk to somebody is not changing to headphone speakers.please send me the solution

    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.

  • My iPhone 4 is no longer recognised by my laptop, and no longer registers being plugged in to charge, even though it will charge slowly if plugged in and turned off. It's not a cable problem or a computer problem, as I've checked these.

    Hey, over the past couple of days my iPhone 4 (GMS, Model A1332, EMC 380B - running on iOS 7.1.2) has begun inexplicably intermittently not recognizing being plugged in to charge or being connected to my laptop. As of today, it has complete stopped recognizing being plugged in to charge or connected to the laptop.
    If I plug it in to charge, whilst it is on, nothing happens and the battery drains.
    If I plug it in to charge and turn in off, it will charge very very slowly - though it will charge fully after a long time.
    When I connect it to my laptop, nothing happens - it doesn't appear in iTunes, and it doesn't charge or recognize being connected to the laptop (there is no charging symbol, no noise from either phone or computer registering the connection as it usual did, or another sign of any connection between the devices, though, again, it will charge very slowly if turned off).
    I've ruled out the possibility of it being a cable problem, by using a friend's cable and finding that didn't allow it to recognize being plugged into the wall to be charged either, or being plugged into the computer.
    My friend's cable does work on their own iPhone (ie, when plugged into the wall with their cable, their iPhone acknowledges this and charges properly, and when plugged into my computer with their cable both my computer and their iPhone recognize the connection).
    So, it's definitely a problem with my iPhone itself, but I don't know what.
    As I say, it will charge very slowly, if it's switched off whilst it's plugged in, but it won't acknowledge being plugged in, and will only drain if it is turned on whilst being plugged in - and it will not recognize being connect to my computer.
    Please help me figure out what is wrong with it, as this is beyond annoying and I'm literally banging my head against the wall - the iPhone is little over a year old.
    Cheers.

    You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
    This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they  therefore respond
    So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
    try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

  • Sound coming from internal speakers, not plugged in external ones

    I've got a set of speakers plugged into the audio jack in the back of the computer. System sounds (beeps and such) come out of the external speakers like they should. But, application sounds (RealPlayer) insist on coming from the internal speaker of the computer, no matter what I choose in the System Preferences for Sound Output. This happened when I first bought the machine, and then it miraculously got fixed (no idea how). Now it's doing it again. Any idea how to force applications to output sound to external speakers?
    Mike

    Go System/Pre then sound
    from there, go to Output-Line-Out,
    see if its on mute aswell,
    it was not on mute. I ended up plugging the speakers into the microphone jack on the front (instead of the line out in the back) and now it works.

  • No audio from internal speakers until headphones plugged in

    This is for a Hp dv 6 with beats audio.I have no audio from the internal speakers until i plug the headphones in , when I get sound from both the internal speakers and the headphones.
    I did find some people had the same issue which was resolved after changes in the realtek HD audio controller but I cannot find the audio controller on my laptop , which I am sure is different from the realtek audio drivers
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers without any success.

    Thanks avi,

  • MBP changing from (plugged in!) headphones to internal speakers

    Hi All,
    I wasn't really sure how to phrase the subject of this so I hope it made sense.
    Basically, I was using my MBP at work the other day, plugged into a tape adapter via the headphone socket. All was working fine and then every now and then it would drop the connection to the headphone socket and swap to playing on the internal speakers.
    So, I thought maybe it might be my cheap tape adapter, so I plugged in my headphones (Ultimate Ears Super.Fi Pro 5s) which I use every day on my iPhone and therefore know are fine. Same issue!!
    So, any ideas guys? Hardware or software do we think?
    Cheers,
    Tom

    I believe what is happening is the audio socket on the new MBPs is loose; they all seem to be this way. My old MBP is nice and snug but the new MBP looses it's connection if you barely touch it. I took mine back, but after checking all the floor models on display at my local Apple store I decided they were all this way and it wasn't worth replacing the unit. Just make sure when you plug it in to push on it to ensure it's all the way in and try not to move it.

  • Are you confused about accessing the Lion iTunes Get Info menu from mouse?

    I was...for some reason Lion was shipped with the right click (secondary) turned off, which is how you access the Get info Menu in iTunes from the mouse. So just go into Apple menu choose system preferences. Choose mouse and check the secondary click box. Then you are good to go back into iTunes choose a song and right click to get the Get info menu...

    This has nothing to do with iTunes.
    It is the OS System prefs.
