External sounds not working...

I know that this has been discussed quite thoroughly on here but I was wondering if any acutal SOLUTION had been reached. My external sounds just quit working. I have ran all updates, tried syncing, the switch is set to have sounds on, tried power cycling, reseting the settings, plugging and unplugging headphones and still have nothing... any new input on this? all it will do is vibrate no keypad sounds or anything...very frustrating!

If it's not even working with different computers, the drive itself may have failed unfortunately.

External sound not working

I think it started after I put headphones in. But I cannot hear ringtones, music, speakerphone, ect. I have obviously checked volume, put in safe mode, took out battery, hard reset, nothing has worked. not much help on the internet either. Sounds like I am going to have to get replacement phone?

I got my Galaxy S4 a week ago and am still trying to learn how to use it. The external sound worked fine then all of a sudden 2 days ago it stopped coming through. SVoice and Robin (voice assistant) don't talk to me, whether Driving Mode is on or off. Klue's message above mentioned the earphones. I did use them once but there's no external sound when the earphones aren't plugged in. (BTW, the earphones don't fit nearly as well as my iPod earphones do. )
I think I probably just hit a button somewhere that turned off the external sound but I can't find what I did. I previously had sound when I was using Wifi and Bluetooth so I don't think that's the problem.
Please help. I wish the User's Manual was more thorough and offered much more info to us than it does. This is my 1st smartphone and need more help than the User's Manual offers.
Thanks.

IPad External Sound not working.

My iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi only, my external sound doesn't work, what will I do? Whenever I put my earphones the sound works. I checked the warranty, the technical support was already expired and the repair and services is still active.

1. If you have no sound at all, even in the Music App, try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
2. If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

3. If you still have no sound at all - except when using headphones ....try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

HP Pavilion Touchsmart (DTS Sound) external sound not working

I recently bought my HP laptop a few days ago and when I turn it on I hear an annoying clicking sound. At first I thought it was the Hard Drive, so I called HP and they walked me through some tests to check out the Hard Drive, but eveything came out fine. Now when I tried to play a video the sound is not working. The clicking sound seems to be coming from the speakers but when I mute them I can still hear the clicking. Can someone please help me on this.

HP Pavilion dv6775-Vista-Internal sound not working-External sound is OK

Hi All,
I searched through this forum and just realised that I am not the only person with this problem. Sometime back the sound of my laptop (dv6775us) stopped working. However the external sound systems work fine when connected. I have done whatever was mentioned on HP support site/Microsoft site etc. i.e checked the device driver, reinstalled etc. While running the diagnostic everything seems normal. Anybody has any clues, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi I just fixed the same problem I found that the sound card was enabled but the speakers were disabled.
go to control panel sound playback then right click in the window and check show disabled items. It was here that my speakers were disabled. hope this helps you.

AUDIODG.EXE hogging 80-100% of CPU and sound not working in Vista . . .

I posted this on a Microsoft Answers Forum but none of the techs or people reading have been able to help so far. I'm dying to get to the bottom of this:
Here is my computer:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
2GB RAM
XFX GEFORCE 6600 GT 128MB DDR3 DUAL DVI & TV OUT (PCI-E)
200GB WD SATA HDD
500GB WD HDD in external enclosure via USB2
NEC ND-3520A 16X DVD±RW Dual Layer DVD Burner
LG CD Burner
I've been using Vista Home Premium successfully for some time. Recently, not too long after I did a clean wipe of my OS, my audio would stop working. The way it would happen is that everything would work fine until I started iTunes or another audio application and when I would hit play, things would lock up.
Upon inspection of my system resources, I'm noticing that the audio platform for Vista, via the audiodg.exe, is using close to 100% of my CPU resources, even when the computer is making no sound at all.
I've had a Sound Blaster Live! card in my computer for some time but I was not using it; I use the Realtek AC'97 audio drivers that are on my motherboard instead. I thought that the conflict may be the computer wanting to recognize my Sound Blaster, so I took it out of my computer but the problem seems to be worse.
Are there any BIOS setting that need to be adjusted for my sound to start working again?
I'm very reliant on the audio processing power of my computer (I'm in the radio industry, part-time) and this is a huge drag on my productivity.
Any tips would be much appreciated.
REPLY #1:
Thank you for using Microsoft Answers forum. I suggest going to the manufacture of your sound card and download the latest drivers and install them.
MY RESPONSE:
Good suggestion. The problem is this:
I am running on-board audio. I have an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard which runs "Realtek ALC Series AC97 Audio Driver" and there is no version for Vista. They have a version for Windows 2K/XP and one for Windows XP 64bit.
Should I use on of those and if not, then what?
UPDATE (from me):
I took a chance and found a Realtek AC'97 driver for Vista.
http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDownload/Realtek-AC-97-Audio-Codec-Driver-Vista-6183-Beta-Download-18114.html
I went to install it and the install hung. So, I closed one of the install windows and then the InstallShield app continued like it was working. So, I hit "Restart my computer". Well, the reboot hung too. So, I reset the PC manually.
When the computer came back up, the sound worked. Hard to tell if this will fix it for good but it's promising. Chaotic. Unpredictable. Annoying.
REPLY #2:
Before you tried updating drivers, did you try rebooting 1st?
I'm just trying to determine if rebooting your system is what resolved the issue - thank you
UPDATE II (from me):
My computer is behaving the same way it was before. AUDIODG.EXE taking up 80-100% of my CPU and the sound not working.
Any other ideas?

Small update: Despite my intelligence, good looks and vast experience I use Google sometimes. To my surprise this file turns out to be a Windows one. Here is someone who is much happier, and since it is some way in my line of thinking I'll quote it, but you might take my previous advice as well:
http://forums.techarena.in/windows-vista-performance/1012315.htm
"- Open up msconfig.exe > Manage startup programs.
- Disable ALL Realtek entries
- Close msconfig.exe
- Right-click on the speaker icon > Audio devices > Speakers (properties)
- Go to the enhancements tab
- Check the box to disable all audio enhancements
- Close the menu
- Right-click on the speaker icon > Recording devices
- Disable all your microphones (yeah..., the actual problem seems to come
from voice inputs rendering..)
- Close the menu
- Restart your computer"

Sound not working Notebook Envy 15 TS windows 8 and windows 8.1 - problem continues

Hello,
My computer sound stopped again.
I posted previously:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Sound-not-working-Notebook-Envy-15-TS-windo...
After I`ve followed David`s steps my computer`s sound started working again. But it didn`t last. The sound stopped working just one day after.
I did the procedure again, and it worked. But just for a few hours.
The second time I reinstalled the IDT codec I noticed at the device manager that there is no conflict at the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC.
Instead, the conflict appear in another item of the sound, video and game controllers topic: high definition audio device.
Is there another codec I should reinstall?
Could anyone help me?
Regards,
Luiz

My video recording sounds not working but other sounds are working fine, I've tried clearing the little mic thing near my earphone hole and had no success can someone please help me out?

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?

Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.

5.1 sound not working

I have a X-Fi fatalty titanium champion series sound card with logitech z5500 5. speakers running vista x64 sp. I cannot fully utilize the 5. speakers for some reason. I have updated to the latest drivers, selected 5. speakers from both windows and the creative console launcher but then i get some butchered sound from only the front left and right speakers. I know the other speakers work bc if i only use 2. then i get the sound but it lacks the entire 5. stereo effects. Please [email protected]

Re: 5. sound not working?

Ive tried all those options but nothing. Device manager also says it is Creative SB X-fi. whats also suspicious is that if i use the sound card built into the motherboard, i get the same problem.
When testing the speakers i only have sound from the front left and right speakers. the others are silent. thats through both the vista tester and Creative tester
If that's the case I strongly suggest you test the speaker's connections out, probably on a separate PC if possible!
