Laptop thinks there is a headset plugged in so speakers do not work, win7.

DV7 Win7, no sound from speakers, thinks there is still a headset plugged in.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55094.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.

DP-K

My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

My laptop thinks there are headphones in at all times, such that the speakers won't work, how do I fix this?

Thanks but that did not work. Details: when I don't have headphones plugged in, the volume won't go up or down and it also displays a circle with a line through it meaning it's not working. When I go to settings and look at my audio output, it only says headphones, even if no headphones are plugged in. I have tried inserting and removing headphones many times, also tried poking the inside of the headphone jack with a stripped Q-tip, and nothing works. Something inside the jack that senses headphones is not sensing the lack of headphones.

My laptop speakers are not working

Hello,
I am Using Lenovo Z50-70 Laptop, and my speakers were not working and i could hear sound only when i connect headphones but in playback not headphones driver was shown and still i could hear sound... i have checked show disable devices and show disconnected devices.
anyways so what i did is Uninstalled the driver from device manager and it was rolled back to High Definition Audio Device , Now I can See my speaker driver and Headphone driver both in the playback section, And when i play sound it works on Laptop speakers and when i connect headphones it still plays on laptop speaker. To listen sound on headphones i have to manually change default device to headphones or speakers.
I think its something with Audio Jack Is sending message t driver that headphones are connected when its not

Hello @hifive11,
I have read your post on how your notebook speakers are not working, but the headphones work fine, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
The first step I recommend is to follow this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7). This should help to restore the sound to your speakers.
You can also enable the speakers on your computer as the default playback device. This can be done by following the steps below:
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's headset device). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
6. Test your speakers
If the issue continues, I recommend returning your notebook to a previous restore point before the speakers stopped working. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

My ipod speakers are not working unless I have my headphones plugged in?

So I accidently dropped my ipod in the toilet:( i immediently turned it off and put it in a bag of rice. When i came to get it out of the bag i noticed that my speakers were not working and when i turn up the volume it says i have my headphones in, and when i plug my headphones in the speakers work fine. I found out that there was some rice lodged in the headphone jack but i got it out with a needle and my ipod still thanks the headphones are in? I dont know what else to do, Please Help!!

Have you tried the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost
FIX for iPod Touch Home Button: Apple Support Communities
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still a problem you have a hardware problem. It could be the headphone jact or something else.

My laptop speakers are not working but my headphones work fine

I have an HP Pavilion g6-1d73us laptop and although my headphones work properly the speakers do not. This is a recent problem. I have tried troubleshooting with windows troubleshooter with no results. I have checked all the drivers for audio and they check out fine. I have tried driver software with no success. Windows Media Player does not work. I get an error message when I try to use it. What else can I try? Carl

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

Is there any updates since February 2014 re: macbook pro not working with Smartboard?

My computer recognizes that it is attached but will not display what is on the desktop. I am currently running Snow Leopard on MacBook Pro and trying to project in onto a Smart Board 600 series. The MacBook Pro used to work with Smart Board; now, all of a sudden it does not work. And, sometimes it will project, but many times it simply will not. I am using a brand new adapter, and projection works with my Epson Powerlite 78 at home.
Smart Board refers me to Apple Support believing the conflict to be hardware. Incidentally, I downloaded Smartboard software to my MacBook Pro previously, but uninstalled it because it was causing crashes to my computer. But, users do not have to download SmartBoard software for projection.
Are there any possible solutions to my inquiry? Thank you for any considerations.

Hi, well basically our family got BT infinity about 2 weeks ago, and it worked with my macbook for about 3 days or so, but after that just suddenly stopped working. It says it's connected in airport and gives full connection, but chrome, spotify, skype, etc do not work. However the rest of the computers in the house which run on windows do work. For the last week or so I have been using a neighbour's open wireless (Netgear) which has been pretty consistent if a little slow. So basically, is there anything i can do? i've pretty extensively looked at all the forums regarding MBPs and routers, and it seems it may be a mac fault (meaning i may be in the wrong forum.) but any help would be appreciated. thanks.
Hi there,
It sounds to me like you're having troubles with the wireless channels on the Home Hub.
Here's what I'd suggest you do: Download istumbler on your Mac (or inssider 2 on your PC) and use this to check which wireless channel you're currently on and if need be, change to a less congested channel.
I hope this info helps.

HP Pavilliov dv7 thinks there's a headphone plugged in.

Hi,
a few months ago i unplugged my headphones my laptop and now the laptop still thinks it is plugged in.
I tried a few methods to fix this myself, for example re-installing the IDT software but that didn't help anything.
I have windows 8.1
please help me, thank you

Have you performed a hard reset? This is where you remove the battery and AC adapter and let it sit without power for a few minutes, then plug it back in again. What about a BIOS update?

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. One computer is not working, so I want to know how I can access my playlists, etc. that are one that computer on the working one?

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. However, there are different playlists on each laptop. One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account. I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not. Is there a way to do it?

All Plug-Ins in Safari are not working... flash, windows media, quicktime.

Hello to anybody that might be able to help me,
None of my plug-ins are working. Flash, Quicktime, Windows Media etc. are doing nothing. When I go to nba.com for example, the whole top flash element is just not there.
When I go to help menu and look at installed plug-ins... it appears as if they are all there. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks,

Well... that was stupid... I just figured it out. Setting I just managed not to notice before. In preferences under security, I had to check "enable plug-ins". Don't know how it got unclicked, but anways, yeah.
