I can hear sound on headphones, but not on laptop speakers (stereo)

I have been installing my audio on my Arch Linux and i am currently stucked here.
When i check if my modules are properly loaded i get this outputs which
in both cases indicates that my modules had been auto detected:
http://shrani.si/f/1/Dr/3VA6qi6K/outputs.png
But when i hit command:
speaker-test -c 2
i get no output from speakers. The weird part is if i plug in my headphones
i can hear the sound from left and right which is what i should allso hear on
speakers.
Here is allso an alsamixer where i ve unmuted everything:

What could be wrong?

For 1/11/11 expert day: can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers

HP Pavilion dv6135nr Notebook internal speakers have stopped working. I can hear sounds on headphones but no sound via the internal speakers. A search on HP customer care for my notebook yielded the download recommendation below, even though I had not stated my problem. However, executing this download did NOT resolve the problem. Please advise regarding resolution to inoperable speakers. I do not know if all of my sound and audio settings are correct, but the mute is not on and the volume controls are properly set. The default device is Conexant High Definition Audio output, per the sound and audio devices properties hardware tab the device status states "this device is working properly." Is it possible that a Skype or Foxfire update is in conflict with this device? If so, how do I resolve this situation?
Thank you.
Description: This package contains the driver for the Conexant High Definition Audio Chip.
PURPOSE: Routine Details and specifications File name:
sp34204.exe [1/1, 1.38M]
System requirements: HP SoftPaq Number SP32646, "Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio," (or later) must be installed on the notebook before installing this SoftPaq. Look for HP SoftPaq Number SP32646 (or later) in the Software and Driver Downloads section of the www.hp.com website. Released: 2006-12-01 Version: 3.26.0.0 A Compatibility: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Windows XP Media Center, Microsoft Windows XP Fix/Enhancement: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.

Re: Fixes issue where the notebook speakers do not work after headphones or earphones are used for a while and then unplugged.
HOW DO YOU FIX THIS?? I cannot find the correct Microsoft Universal Audio Architecture (UAA) Bus Driver for High Definition Audio that works with my computer...
My computer:
VISTA
HP Compaq 2230s Notebook PC
Everytime I use my headphones for more than an hour or two, the **bleep** audio will not play on my notebook's speakers, just through the headphones. Usually restarting a few times resolves the problem, but not this time. If I knew that HP computers sucked this much I would never have spent so much money on this one!!!
Can you please tell me how to fix this problem once and for all? Thanks!!

Hey shahbazfromgbr,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues with sound output on your iPhone 4S. For troubleshooting steps, the following article provides the best information:
iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630
1. Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
2. Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
3. While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
4. Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
5. For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
6. If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
7. Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
8. If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
9. Restart the iPhone.
10. If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
11. If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I installed win8 64bit on macbook pro. everything running good but i am not getting sound in speakers. i am getting sound in earphone/headphones but not in main speakers.

Have you checked System Preferences -> Sound to see the Output when nothing is plugged in the headphone jack? Also, check if the headphone jack shows a faint read-light, which is the optical laser.

My iphone 4 does not ring - the mute button is off - can hear calls coming in but not on the speaker - no music or ringtones

My iphone 4 does not ring - the mute button is off - can hear calls coming in only by vibrate - cannot talk using speaker - no music not ringtones - It is not the mute button!

Sorry this took so long... This sounds hokey, but there is a sensor inside the headset jack on the iPhone that is sticking.
First; unplug the headset and try. Then, if does not ring still - do a reset with the headset out. Reset = hold the Home button and the sleep bottom on top at the same time until you see the Apple (ignore the slide to power off).
If this does not wor - here comes the hokey part... and you can take it by an Apple store at this point; anyway, use a tooth pick (wooden) and twigged it around in the jack on the gentle side.
Only try that last "hokey" part because it could be hardware in there sticking.
After that - have you called Apple Care?... It is a repair issue.
Good luck

I cant watch videos - help please...... can hear the music video but not c

i was hoping someone can help me.
im new to ipods and itunes. and i downloaded itunes and quicktime and i downloaded a music video in itunes and when i play it in itunes i get a green box and can hear what is going on but not see anything.
Any ideas???
thanks

kia ora, jen.
If you're just seeing a green screen, try the "Disable Direct3D acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document:

After editing i can hear effects over tracks but not the tracks themselves?

after editing and saving as a garage band file i can hear the first two tracks in their entirety, but not the other 8 (except for the reverb over them). if i kill the reverb over these tracks then only silence remains. input, output and monitoring options are identical for all ten tracks. all my edits are still there, including automated volume and pan. please help

Hello, I am having the same problem. With some exceptions (and this is what's throwing me off) I can hear reverb and echo on tracks but not tracks themselves. I have tried adding echo/reverb to some of the muted tracks and I can hear these effects fine. Yet I have 2 tracks without any effects at all and I can hear those ones fine (there are 12 tracks in all). Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my senior project and I am due to present on Thursday, June 5.

Sound in Headphone but not Speaker

My new iPad can play sound by speaker in safari and YouTube. However, it cannot play sound by speaker in some apps but it can by headphone. Is it the problem of the apps (more than one app) or the iPad itself?

Maybe you have system sounds muted.
If you lose 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.

I can hear through my headphones, but sound not de...

Im spending my birthday, struggling to figure out why this problem has occured, where as this has never happened before. A couple weeks ago i just popped in m skullcandies and spoke with no issue.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Replace the jack yourself

Sound works with headphones but not with computer speakers

I've got an iPhone 3GS and an iPad. A few weeks ago I setup an older pair of computer speakers in my living room and I've been using that as a bookshelf stereo. I just plug in whatever device happens to be around, the phone or iPad to drive the music.
Tonight though, the iPhone will not output any sound to the computer speakers. It will play music through the external speakers without any issue - same for the iPod headphones. Originally I chalked this up to an issue with my speakers, but when I hook the ipad up to them, I get sound.
Any ideas as to what this could be? The phone worked fine until tonight and I've tried to restart the phone and turn it off.

Hey polofson,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with Siri in relation to your microphone. On the iPhone 5, Siri utilizes both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera. You may want to make sure these are not blocked (commonly by third-party cases):
iOS: Troubleshooting Siri
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4079
Ensure that Siri can clearly hear you
If Siri is unable to clearly understand what you are saying, make sure your microphones are not blocked.
iPhone 4s
Verify that the bottom microphone, located to the left of the dock connector, is not blocked.
iPhone 5
Verify that both the mic in the receiver opening and the mic near the rear camera are not blocked.
iPod touch (5th generation)
Verify that the mic near the rear camera is not blocked.
iPad (3rd generation)
Verify that the mic at the top center, above the FaceTime camera, is not blocked.
All models
- If you are using a protective case, try removing it.
- Try turning your device off and then on again.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Sound heard through headphones, but not with internal speakers

Recently, my computer stopped producing sound from the speakers. However, I plug in headphones and everything can be heard. I've already checked Sound in System Preferences. Nothing is muted and all sliders are in the correct position. In the Output Pane, my only option for the output source is headphones, no internal speakers. What happened? What should I do?

I recently got the same problem. Its not that bad but confused me at first. If that is the worst problem you get with your computer consider yourself lucky. You could bring it by an apple store genius and see what they say but its most likely a switch problem like tteuer said. If my memory serves me right that switch is connected to the logic board, if you have it still under warranty, great, if not, you might as well get another laptop if it really bothers you.
Tip: I have made it work by either slowly removing the headphone from the jack or rotating it. If that did not work the first time I repeated it.

Person can hear me on FaceTime, but not see me. How to fix this?

can anyone suggest what might be going on with my brother's iPad 3? It has worked fine, but last week he could not see me in facetime, but her could hear me. I could seem and hear him just fine, like always.
THanks.

Chances are you have some lint or other material lodged in your headphone jack. Try inserting and removing headphone jack a few times and see if it dislodged whatever might be stuck there
