Help! No sound from speakers but icon shows its working

I have a Win7 HP G71 that the sound just quit. Everything looks as if it is fine but no sound. Almost like the speakers were disconnected. Any thoughts on why it did this and how to fix it?

Hi,
From windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Can you post back with the all the devices listed here and if any have warning triangles against them. Can you also post the full Model No. or Part No. of your notebook.

A215 no sound from speakers, but sound with headsets

I have two A215-S5818 Satellite laptops. One is a XP Pro build and one is a Windows 7 Ultimate build. Neither unit has sound from the speakers but have sound from a headset. The Win 7 versions has sound from the speakers if the headset is plugged in. The XP unit only has sound via headsets.
The device manager is happy with both builds. I have no flags or unknows or question marks in the device manager.
Both units have every update from Microsoft. The Win 7 unit is IE7 and the XP unit is IE8.
Have gone to Realtex site for the driver downloads without success. Have purchased a recovery disk that included XP, VIsta WIn 7 drivers. No help here.
My Bios is 1.0. I have seen two motherboards destroyed by BIOS update via windows and via a bootable CD.
Going to BIOS 2.0 is not an option unless Toshiba will do it and back it up with a new MB if it fails. In fact I have sent one MB to a Toshiba qualified repair facility and they were unable to update to BIOS 2.0
Both units run nicely and all I want is sound from the built in speakers.
Anyone run into this headset only issue?

Hello, yes I have a new windows 7 home premium satellite L505, it has never had sound on the laptop speakers. A tiny sound indefinable without speakers from my old PC. Headphones are the same..no sound definable. I have called Toshiba 5 times, got hung up on 4. with the promise if the call was lost they would call back..that did not happen. The last contact there said wipe it out start over. The speakers have been the same since it came out of the box. I really do not want to lug speakers with my laptop. I have looked at every download, fix that I knew, so far the speakers have to go where the laptop goes..so much for wireless..and customer service. I certainly would like some help from someone. The 4th person had me uninstall the realtek sound, so at the end of that call I did not even have that, I had to restore to get it back. I was told it would cost to get this fixed, or replaced.

No Sound from speakers but Headphones work on HP All-In-One 23-p142

I recently purchased my computer HP Pavillion 23-p142 with Windows 8.1 64bit on July 9, 2015 and everything was golden...couldn't be happier with it for my needs. Now, in just the last few days, the sound doesn't work at all. No sound from Windows Media Player, Youtube etc. Absolutley nothing. Not even system sounds. I've tried troubleshooting tips such as going into Computer Management> Services> Windows Audio and restarting that service...still no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio drivers several times and it worked on the very first attempt then the sound went away again after a few hours. I'm at a loss for what to try next...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PS. I forgot to mention my headphones work fine. And here are some screenshots of devices...if that helps with anything.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how you are not able to get sound from the speakers of your desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Do you speakers work on another computer? Is there any software you need to install to properly configure your speakers on your system? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8). This should help return the sound to your computer using your speakers. I also recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point before the issue occurred. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

hi
i own an x fi elite pro and a gigaworks s750

however i can now only get sound through my headphones.

realwiz,
There's a setting in the mixer software where it instruct the soundcard to mute the speaker when headphone is connected to the I/O dri've bay. Perhaps you can check if that setting has been enabled.

Sound from speakers but not headphones

I have a iPod Mini that will only play sound when connected to a stereo and not the headphones. I have tried two sets of known good headphones with same result. I have also followed the '5 R's' on the iPod, but the problem of sound only when connected to a stereo persists. iPod is no longer under warranty.
Dell Windows XP Pro iPod mini 4GB

How is it connected to the stereo? Just through the headphones jack as if there were headphones, the headphones jack and the little thing next to it, or through the bottom?

No sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us. Speakers are not muted and volume is up. May have happened after a system update

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
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 from speakers, only subwoofer after restore to factory

I recently restored an HP pavilion dv7 back to factory settings using the built in hp restore. When it came back, sound will only play through the subwoofer. When I do sound tests, I hear both channels play, but they play through the one "triple bass reflex subwoofer" on the bottom of the laptop. Nothing coming from the two speakers in the front at all.
I have uninstalled the IDT drivers multiple times using the current drivers, the original drivers in the swsetup folder and many drivers in between from HP's ftp site. No luck. I'm pretty much out of ideas. It's clearly a software or driver issue as they worked before the reset but I have no idea what else can be done about it.
HP tone control is installed, the beats audio panel is visible, IDT audio shows up in appwiz. Ive seen a few forum posts about this same issue but nothing that ever seemed to get resolved.
Any ideas? I've included some screen shots of what I'm seeing

Hi @etainw ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7-4000 Notebook and issues with no sound from speakers, only subwoofer after restore to factory. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Subwoofer on Beats Notebooks. On the Enhancements tab, select the Bass Boost option, and verify the device driver is Enabled, this should help.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.
Thanks.

Audigy 2 zs - moved pc from one room to another and now no sound from speakers (headphones

As the title says,
I just completed moving my pc from one room to another. Low and behold I get no sound from speakers (just some stereo speakers with powered sub). I do get audio out of the headphones (fully disconnect headphones from front panel when attempting to get sound from speakers). I know this probably points to a faulty speaker setup but that's pretty straight forward and looks to be fine.
Anyone encounter this problem before or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Mr. Jefferson, Thanks for the quick response!
A mystery! Usually, it's easiest to have FiOS patched into your home's cable TV wiring, so I'm curious why you don't have a coax router that provides you with the ethernet (internet) jacks. Some questions:
Do you watch TV from some other source (like satellite or cable TV) but are using FiOS only for Internet?
I have both fios tv and internet
You said 2 cables are going from your router to a box in the wall. What are the 2 ports labeled on the router?
One of them is just the main "internet" port I guess you could say while the other is just one of the ports labeled 1-4 (plugged into #2 I believe)
Is there any labeling on the jacks on the wall box? On the other box in your room?
On the wall box in this room theres labeling on the jacks on the wall box that says IN and OUT (in marker), while in my room there's the same box but with only ONE, unlabeled jack (I think there's supposed to be another jack but it seems to be closed/sealed off)
Do you know where the Internet jacks connect to? Like a patch panel or box somewhere in your garage or near where your FiOS/cable tv/phone service is? Somewhere these cables have to terminate.
I believe they somehow connect to this box in my garage (did some research and I believe it's called the ONT? and there's another box below it which I believe is the battery)
Hope this info helps!

Clicking sound from speakers!

I have problem with sound but this is strange one and i can't find solution anywhere... I am pretty good with computers and i usualy find solutions on internet when i have problem but this is something i can't solve by myself... My laptop is HP 355 G2 and i have Windows 10 installed on it but the same problem was on Windows 8.1 too... So after clean installation of Win10 the sound was good and worked normaly for 2-3 days and now i only hear a clicking sound from speakers when audio is playing but the strange thing is that when i pick up laptop from the table the sound start to work for few seconds and then the clicking sound comes back again, so i suspect that this has something to do with accelerometer which is built in laptop for hard disc parking in case of drop or something like that... I tryed to uninstal/disable driver for accelerometer but windows install it again emidiatly after reboot, i tryed clean install few times and problem apears again and again... I just don't know anymore what to try to do in order to solve this so if anyone know anything about this please help... And i forgot to say that headphone jack work normaly and when i plug the headphones or external speakers in headphones jack the sound works but the clicking sound still comes out from built in speakers... Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it is not my native language and there is no support forums on my native language witch is Serbian...

Thank You

Hi @satyakam
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are enjoying your sound from everything today. I am happy to help.
If you have a sound application installed along with your sound driver, then I would check the settings for the speakers and headphone in that application.
Then I would make your headphone the default device when it is plugged in.
To make headphone as the default device
1.    Click on Start; Go to Control Panel.
2.    Click on Sound.
3.    Switch to Recording.
4.    Select your microphone/headset as the default device.
5.    Save the changes by clicking on OK.
Also you can Uninstall and re-install your audio device drivers, to do that:
1.    Click on Start; in the start search type “devmgmt.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
2.    Expand Sound, Video and Game controllers.
3.    Right click on the audio component and then click uninstall.
With the driver uninstalled then download and re-install the driver from:
HP Pavilion g4-1121tx Notebook PC Drivers
Just be sure to select the correct operating system from the drop down, and click next, which will refresh the list of drivers below.
Let me know if that helped at all.

A1000L IdeaPad No Audio Sound from Speakers

Our IdeaPad A1000L was working great for a while, but now it will not produce sound from the speakers. At first I assumed I somehow had it set to silent even though the volume bar was all the way up. I reset all my audio settings. Then I realized the audio works fine from headphones. I did a full reset on the tablet, and still no sound from speakers -- only from headphones. I have read a similar thread where it was suggested that this might be caused by damage to the headphone port, but I rarely use headphones, and don't think I'd ever used them before with this device. Still, I tried jiggling the headphone thing around in there like suggested and it's still not working. When I look in there with a flashlight, it looks exactly like the inside of the headphone port on our other IdeaPad. Is there anything else I can check/try before taking it in for service?

Hello rkrohatgi,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing and the troubleshooting steps you have already taken. It sounds like you are seeing a screen similar to this when trying to adjust the volume:
I recommend the following steps for an issue like this (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

HT4623 Hi I have just updated ipad to latest software and since then I can't get any sound from speakers only ear socket or FaceTime works fine any ideas thanks Mark

NO sound from speakers after update only headphone jack works, speakers work on FaceTime
many thanks Mark

Reboot the iPad and see if that helps.
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.

No sound from HP G62 laptop and can no longer get sound from speakers or headphone jack . USB sworks

have an HP G62 laptop. I can no longer receive sound from speakers or from headphone jack. If I plug speakers into usb - I will get sound. Any ideas?

I don't think I have anything to offer that you haven't done. In Device Manager, Device status says "working properly" and you've reinstalled this driver.
Realtek Audio Driver for Windows XP
Right?
The only other thing I know to do is restore the hard drive to its original factory fresh contents.
