Internal speaker silent but headphones work

I re-installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my Lenovo Thinkcentre M57, but since then, the internal speaker remains silent(but headphones work). I tried to install various drivers on lenovo webpage and elsewhere (AC'97, etc...), without result. Before this re-installation, internal speaker was working normally.

If the headphones are OK, then check your speakers. If they are powered speakers there may be a problem with the speaker's amplifier or you could have a loose connection.

Line Out Speaker Problems, but Headphones work just fine?

So my computer was working beautifully yesterday, but today, my speakers sound awful. The bass sounds alright but any treble just sounds echoey and/or scrambled. It's also just really quiet at times. My headphones work just fine though. Any suggestions?

Sound is not coming out of speakers, but headphones work?

I have a Satellite L505-S5990 laptop. Today while I was sitting at home browsing the Internet, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It was working just fine minutes before. It was sitting on the counter the entire time and it just silently stopped working.
So I grabbed some headphones and plugged them in and they worked.
I restarted the computer, still no sound coming from speakers.
Windows 7 found no problems while troubleshooting the sound.
I downloaded the Automated Troubleshooting Services to diagnose and fix sound playback issues from Microsoft but that didn't find any issues.
I uninstalled the sound driver and installed the one that came with this laptop. I still get the same result. No sound from speakers but headphones work.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

No Speaker Audio But Headphone Audio's OK

The audio on my two month old A505-S6025 Win-7 Pro worked well yesterday. When I turned it on today the speaker audio was not working. I checked the Headphone audio and it is OK. I know of nothing I did that would have turned the speakers off and I can;t find any setting that is not enabled for them.
Action Center "couldn't identify the problem."
Anyone have any instructive comments to fix this?
Thanks

Off and then On again. Don't know why... did not change anything... just shut it down normally and the speaker audio returned when I turned the laptop on the next time I needed it. No idea what the issue was but at least it is running OK... For now, at least.

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.

No speaker sound. Headphones work, but not speakers.

This problem is driving me crazy. I simply cannot get speaker sound. I've even used recovery discs to return to original factory condition. My computer is six months old, HP Pavilion dv6 3163cl.
Please help!!

Do you get sound from the speakers in any apps e.g. Music and Videos but not games/notifications ? If you do then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

OSX LION NO SPEAKER SOUND but headphones still work

After pluggin in headphones, and then removing them, sound is dead. Have tried every single fix I can find, except re-installing the OS. I think this needs to be sorted ASAP and not a fix.

Hello jlouvier2
The issue with the motherboard port for your speakers would a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.

Ipad 3 speaker no sound, headphones work fine

iPad 3rd Gen with iOS 7.1 speaker sound stopped working today. The headphone socket works fine as does the sound on Apple TV. Just the iPad speakers not working (music, notifications etc all silent).

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. Reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. No data will be lost but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
3. 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 control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

4. If you still have no sound, try cleaning the dock connector opening of the iPad with a soft brush and just a little bit of rubbing alcohol.

'No Volume Available' but headphones work

Weird problem just cropped up today on my iPhone 4 (no longer under warranty). If I try to play the Music app, Pandora, YouTube and many other sound apps I can't hear the audio over the speaker and on some apps a message appears saying 'No Volume Available' on the screen. It has this message in Pandora, in YouTube and the music app just don't have the volume slider.
If I plug in headphones all work normally.
If I use the Phone app, or Talkatone I can hear the audio via the earpiece and I can switch it to the speaker. So I know the speaker system works as some apps detect the speaker and can route audio through there. Skype on the other hand works via speakerphone but not via the earpiece. Key-clicks and lock sounds don't work via the speaker.
I've reset the iPhone a few times, 2x via holding down the power key and shutting it down then restarting with the Apple logo and once forcing a shutdown via power+home buttons.
I've restored the iPhone, I'm running iOS 5.0.1, bluetooth is off, mute switch on the side is on (I've switched it both on and off, didn't do anything). I've tried plugging/unplugging in headphones to see if debris or something would be knocked loose but that didn't work. Plugging/unplugging dock connector several times didn't work either.
I'm wondering if an app I tired did something weird electrically? I had a headphone jack plugged-in and ran the TASCAM recording app to try and record something. Had a tough time figuring it out and it was while I was trying it that the problem seemed to occur as I couldn't hear anything recorded via the app.
I've since removed the app and done all of the above to no avail. I'm going to try another restore. And don't suggest I just go to an Apple Store, the nearest one is a few hundred miles away on another island.

I went to an Apple Store and let a 'Genius' check it out. First thing he says is that the water damage indicator was activated in the bottom dock connector. I've never dropped my iPhone 4 in water though I probably do live in one heck of a humid place so maybe that's why it activated. He had opened it up and I asked him if there was any indication at all if there was water damage in the iPhone and he said 'no.'
I let him wipe the phone since I had it backed-up via iTunes. Then it started to work and thought we had it fixed but then all of a sudden it stopped producing sound again. This is with no extra apps loaded on it and right there at the Genius Bar with the Genius there. He operated the controls and was just stumped.
He said because it was out of warranty I could get a replacement one there at Apple for (I forget) something like $149, or I could wait a few week when I can get an early upgrade to an iPhone 4S for $199 (that would only be for the 16GB model, mine is a 32GB iPhone 4).
So yeah, the Genius couldn't figure it out. The phone's sound continues to have this problem along with the problem, which I hear many people have, of the home button being disfunctional at times. The iPhone 4 is a flawed design in so many ways: Antenna, Home Button, Audio System, Lower Battery life with iOS 5.

My Internal Speaker`s aren`t working

After my laptop was really hot i opened it and for some reason the volume wasn`t working and their is no red light and no inter speaker option in my prefrence

Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled
2. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under "Mute" any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.
5. If this does not help, contact Apple.

[SOLVED] No sound on laptop speakers, but headphones working properly

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with sound on my laptop. My laptop speakers doesn't work, but if I connect my headphones to the 3.5mm jack, headphones sound correctly. I managed a few days ago to fix this issue, but after a few days without problems, it stopped working.

How exactly did you fix it and what happened to break it?
Well I simply removed /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, and rebooted. Then the sound started working. Then I used a live-cd distro that I'm testing for my University, and when I rebooted the next time, the sound didn't work.

I haven't had time to try it. This morning, started working without doing anything... there must be trolls inside my laptop. I hope this time will continue working indefinitely.
Thanks a lot for answering.
EDIT: Yesterday before shuting down my laptop I returned the configuration I had changed to its original state, so that could be the change that made my speakers work again this morning.

NO AUDIO IN SPEAKERS of x200 but Headphones work

I am on an X200 which was released to me a month ago, all new. Sound worked just fine, but automatic updating is on for Vista Business 32-bit and I just lost it for no reason. I can hear audio on headphones but no audio from the speakers. Audio is indicated as "working properly" and so are the speakers. I have the latest version already of the Connexant Driver. Driver Version 4.92.13 and dated November 28, 2009. But still no sound from speakers Anyway, is this material, the location of the Audio Driver is stated as "0".
Can anyone please help me? I already tried restoring to the factory installed settings and even that did not restore the sound I've browsed through the forums but no particular topic detailing a solution for this one.

I had a similar problem and "rolled back" my audio driver 1 version - from the conexant audio driver to the microsoft audio driver. Both speakers and headphones are working fine now. Go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager (under Devices and Printer) - in the pop-up window expand Sound, video and game controllers and click on High Defintion Audio Device. In the next pop-up select the Driver tab and click on the button for Roll Back Driver. You will have to reboot for the change to take effect and the SmartAudio app will no longer function.

Hello,
The problem you are describing, could be a problem with the hardware itself, but before we can conclude that, you can try to do some troubleshooting steps.

No sound through external speakers on my iphone 4s but headphones work fine! When headphones unplugged volume button shows headphones not plugged in! Tried all solutions suggested here to no luck?!??

No sound through external speakers but fine through headphones! Button on left is not on mute and checked all settings and all fine! Tried all solutions here but no luck! Sound gone before I updated the software??

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

Since the latest Mac OS update - my internal speaker controls no longer work - any ideas why?

Hi the output controls are now greyed out
Any s

Re-installing Pages through Appstore has fixed the problem.
Thank you
