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.

No sound in internal speakers and headphones

I am having problems with my sound. There is no sound through both headphones and internal speakers. I have tried using the Audio MIDI setup, and still no luck. In MIDI it says headphones and internal speakers when I plug and unplug the headphones. If there are any solutions or any helpful threads that I have over looked please let me know thank you.

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums & Macs!
Are there headphines plugged in that don't work?
If no headphones, but it says that is a choice, then something is preventing the headphone jack from closong likely, might carefully use a tooth pic to gently poke around in it, or use a headphones to test.

HP 2000 laptop audio stopped working- internal speakers and headphone jack

FOr the past few days the audio/speakers to my laptop have been going off, and then back on after a bit.Today I was in the middle of watching amovie when it stopped again, and everything Ive tried so far hasn't worked (going to restart netxt) . I tried plugging in my earbuds but the audio jack isn't working. Im also getting the Smos 502 error, and Im not sure if they're connected. I have the HP 2000 model C2N25UA#ABA

I was wrong - I did upgrade to a 3 yr warranty (had forgotten about this) so hopefully it's covered!
Thanks for having me double check!

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)

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.

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.

The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail.
The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

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:

No audio out on internal speakers or headphones from external device

I'm using an intel iMac 17" I tried to plug in an external cassette deck, and listen to it through the internal speakers. Even though all system prefs for audio work as expected, and I can see the audio meters on screen operating, nothing will induce it to play sound either through the internal speakers, or headphones.
The audio is certainly going in there, as it recorded perfectly in iMovie. The internal speakers work perfectly for alerts, iTunes, the web, everything. But no external device will work.
I've tried an iPod, a microphone, and a cassette deck, all with the same result. I've launched Garage Band as this can upset the midi player, but it's fine. I've visually checked the settings, no problem.
As an alternative I also tried an iMic and stopped using the jack input on the iMac. Still nothing. I plugged headphones into the iMic, nothing. No audio will play unless it's already on the Mac. External audio goes in there and dies before it reaches the speakers.
All the visual info I get in the sound panel regarding connection options, output etc, is exactly as expected, I just can't get any audio at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions? There's only a few day's warranty left...
Many thanks.

Hello David,
Thanks for the pointer. I looked at the website for Linein, and I already have Audio Hijack pro installed, which contains this application. When I ask AH to record the system audio, the volume meters are dead, I hear nothing, and record nothing - unlike iMovie.
When I do ask it to record, I can hear a thumping sound from the Mac speakers, but nothing else.
I'm really desperate for a solution to this; I can't understand why it's so hard to achieve. If it was just the line in socket I'd suspect that, but a USB connection as well? I don't understand that at all.

Simultaneous sound: how to get sound from internal speakers and usb audio adapter

I have an iMac in my living room. It is hardwired to my home theater system in my family room. Currently, I can listen to audio in one location or the other... but not both. I bought a StarTech.com ICUSB Audio Adapter hoping that it would be a fix... not so much. Downloaded SoundSource... not so much
How can I get audio to play via my internal speakers and through my home theater system? Hosting a party this Saturday and would like multiple rooms filled with sound.

First pluging is headphones and then unplugging it. If yu can't get it fully inseted tham may indicate that end of a plug is broken off inside the jack.
Then if not above problem, try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Software switch between internal speakers and digital out?

I have a brand new Aluminum iMac.
My iMac is connected to my stereo receiver with the built-in S/PDIF Digital Output.
But sometimes I'd like to just use my iMac's internal speakers, so I don't need to power up the receiver.
But when I plug in the digital cable, OS X turns off my speakers, and vice-versa. The Sound Control Panel doesn't give me the option.
I've googled for a while on this -- it looks like Windows leaves the digital output on even if the internal speakers are playing, so this is clearly a software issue.
Is there any way I can use software in Leopard to switch between my internal speakers and my digital output? (Or to use both at once?)

Isn't there a software option out there somewhere?
I don't know fore sure, but I believe inserting a plug into
the audio output jack electrically disconnects the speakers.
Yep, totally brain-dead -- but so is the entire analog/digital
"combo jack" nonsense. It leaves you with no way to monitor
any digital audio signal being sent to an external device.
Not with headphones OR speakers!
IMO, the only workable solution is a USB or Firewire
audio interface. If you only need digital audio output,
the cheapest stuff available ($25-ish) should be fine.
If you also want good 24-bit A2D/D2A converters, mic
preamps, etc. expect to pay $150 and up.

No sound from internal speakers or headphones when using ART Tube interface

Hi - can anyone help with this...
I have no sound fromthe internal speakers or headphones when using my new ART Tube USB interface - I get a nice loud recording level from the ART but cant monitor - in Logic 7.2
Audio hardware interface in logic 7.2 is set to USB Codec - just like the ART manual states
And the SOUND control panel is set to speakers/headphones
But no love...
Any comments welcomed
Si2

By default, OSX will only let you have one interface active at any one time - so if you specify the ART as your interface to get sound in, you don't have access to your regular interface to listen to it.
But there is a workaround - open the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, create a new "Aggregate Device", and add both your required audio interfaces to it.
Now, back in Logic, select the aggregate device you created as the audio device, and now all your inputs and outputs from both interfaces are available - the aggregate device acts as one big interface containing both your hardware interfaces.

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.
