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.

Hi , unfortunately i faced with a problem that i couldent open my audio note so i thought if i delet it and transfer the application from itunse from my pc i can have my files...but all of them deleted from both application and also from wifi address... Is it any solution for recovery the filew? I missed lots of important files , plz help me
Tnx alot

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Can you have sound coming out from both internal speaker and speakers connected to the iMac?

I have a pair of KRK Rokit 5 speakers connected to the headphones jack at the back of the iMac.
I use these for playing good quality sound when I need to record on Garageband.
However they are mains powered and have a switch at the back which is difficult to always turn due to the position of the speakers. At the same time I don't want to have the speakers turned on all the time.
Is there a way to enable the Mac to play sound through its onboard speaker without disconnecting the speakers' cable?
Thsi should be possible, becasue whenever I restart the Mac I can hear it s start up jingle clearly coming out from its onboard speaker, even when the external speakers are plugged in.
Thanks

Unfortunately the iMac is not designed to offer that setup capability. If you go into your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">here you will find that you can select the device that the iMac's sound output is sent thru (see below)>you will find that you can only select "one" device at a time to receive the audio signal, not multiple devices at once. The "startup chimes" are separate from the normal audio output and Always come from the internal speakers.

I see that you are having a sound issue with your Pavilion. If you are having the problem from both your speakers and your headset it could just be a driver problem. To assist you I will need to know what operating system you are using.

No sound is coming out from the speaker

I am a novice. I can't hear any sound from my speakers, not even when I turn my laptop on. There are no mute selections on my sound / volume control.

I spoke too soon!!! :( :( Sound came back just fine, re-installed Real Player, and not long after the sound went again. Went to System Restore again but the previous earlier point was now gone - and no other System Restores could get the sound back.
So I know the sound works, it's a conflict somewhere - where, I am not sure. Probably with Real Player but even with it uninstalled, the sound doesn't come back, so if it is RP, whatever it did to tweak the sound doesn't get undone with an uninstall?
Very frustrating. It looks like my Norton is corrupted too, which may be a virus but I am not sure yet. And I have only had this computer a week!!!! :( Very unhappy at the moment. Do not want to have to re-install everything and re-load all files and programs I just spent the last few days doing, especially if the same thing will happen again!
Any tips or ideas or if it is a Vista problem or what, please let me know!

TS3308 why i can't connect the headphone to my iPad mini retina, to sound still coming out from the ipad

I tried to restore already but still I can't connect the headphone to my ipad mini, but in the other device the headphone is working properly...

is the connector inserted as far as possible?
Is there anything blocking it from being inserted far enough?

Sound not coming out for right headphone

If I press the headphone jack backwards, I can get sound coming out of both earpieces. However, if I just let it stand still, I can only hear it coming out of the left side. I tried different headphones, so it's the iPod and not the headphones.
My warranty expired 2 days ago (naturally) and I want to know if there's anyway to manually fix this. Or if it's possible to visit an Apple store to fix it.

1) Plug your headphones into another source, such as
a stereo. Does the problem still exist? If not, then
it is the iPod itself and not the headphones. If it
does still exist, then it is your headphones.
2) If under warranty, Apple will ship you a new set
of headphones for no charge as long as you return the
defective part in the envelope provided with the new
part they send you.
Oh gee, that's useful. So what's the fix if it's not the headphones?
I guess it's off to the apple store for me!
Does anyone else notice that all of us have no sound in right ear? Could it be an intrinsic flaw?

I've an iphone 4, its headset jack is not working properly, when i insert the earphone no sound is coming, but when i keep the earphone little out i can hear the sound but very low sound is coming out, I've never dropped my iphone please help...

VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

Itunes sound not coming out of ipod4

I can't get my ipod4 to play itunes outside of the apple store. Both Apple store and anywhere else with wifi show I have a connection. It shows the song playing but no sound is coming out and my ipod works perfectly (bought it refurbished 3 weeks ago).

Did you already try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
Can you play music using the headphones?

Rear left sound coming out of front left and ri

Sound that should be coming out of the rear left speaker is being divided by the front 2 speakers. Anyone know whats going on? i'v tried reinstall windows vista, reinstalling the sound card, made it sure its not the speakers. So i have no idea whats going on.

Hi @ellencat
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting sound both from your speakers and the headphones when the headphones/earplugs are plugged in.
A fix to try is, to go into the Control panel
then Hardware and Sound
then click on Sound and select the Recording tab
Select your microphone/headset as the default device, and press OK.
Also you can look at this page from answers.microsoft.com, as if offers a few more suggestions.

Ideapad S400u - Noise coming out from the headphone jack

I also have this annoying noise coming out from my headphone.
It happens while the notebook is charging/plugged.
Could anyone help me?
My lenovo is Ideapad S400u - Windowns 8.1 - 64 bits.
Thank you,

Igor,
Welcome to the forum!
Can you describe this noise? Is it coming from the area around the headphone port? If you plug headphones into the port, does the noise go away or change? Is the outlet you are using for charging grounded?
Thanks

Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
Could it be something i have done in my settings?
or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.
