Less sound output from inbuilt speaker

seems to be less sound output is coming from inbuilt speakers. i don't know how to verify whether this is the maximum sound capacity of inbuilt speakers
My Product Details:
Product Name: HP pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product Number: QJ912AV#ABA
OS Installed: Windows 7 64 bit

How long have you been without sound? When did you first notice it? Do you remember if you installed any updates or programs just before it happened? I guess we could consider taking off the case and start checking for lose connections or blown speakers. I do think you should maybe try to reinstall the HP sound drivers one more time and make sure no other sound software is installed in add/remove software from your control panel.

No sound output from dock connector or headphones but speaker is fine

I've got a 3GS which I've had since October.
Recently, there has been no sound output from the headphone socket - or rather, what does come out is very strange, sounding almost electronically distorted.
I thought that maybe the headphone jack was broken, but now I've found out that the same thing can be heard through a dock when the iPod is connected this way.
I'm fairly sure the dock connector is still fine as the phone charges and can be controlled by the dock etc
Most of the discussions I've found relate to sound not coming from the speaker on the phone, but this is absolutely fine.
Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?
I'm not optimistic that this will help any more than the procedures you've already tried, but it won't hurt to try.
Do you still have your OS 9 installation? If so, try booting into OS 9 and see if the problems with the audio are happening there, too. If so, you can bet it's a hardware problem.
How big is your hard drive and how much space remains available on it? If you don't have your OS 9 installation in order to check out whether it's a hardware problem and you have enough available hard drive space, you may want to try an Archive and Install of the OS in order to make sure it isn't an OS X system-wide problem. If that doesn't do it, you could back up your hard drive and restore your software.
All of this may just be spinning your wheels, but it's all stuff you can try before shelling out a lot of money for repairs.

I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. The head phones work though. I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled. Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. There is sound when we use the headphones. Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device. Who h has not helped.
HELP!!!!!!!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
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
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Sound output from other user accounts

It used to be that I would hear sounds from other logged-in user accounts; I'd hear my wife's new mail arrival sound, I'd hear her Skype ringing when calls were coming in, etc. I also used to be able to play iTunes in one account, fast-user-switch to another, and the music would still play.
This has all gone away recently. I'm not exactly sure but I think it coincided with the 10.4.4 update.
This is a big concern because my wife was used to hearing her incoming Skype calls ringing when I was using the Mac, but now she misses all her calls if someone else is logged in!
I haven't found any other mention of this in any forum. Is this just me having this problem? Any way I can fix it?

Okay, I just got off the phone with Apple support and they say that sound outputting from other user accounts was a "bug" that has now been "fixed." They said that this was patched sometime between the 10.4.3 and 10.4.4 updates. I'm surprised to hear that you are having this problem in 10.4.2 because I'm sure it worked for me under 10.4.3 at some point. None of the security updates released under either 10.4.3 or 10.4.4 make any mention of this patch.
Apple support says that there's no preference for this setting and we've just got to live with it now.
This is so irritating! I've got my Skype ring tone, she's got hers, and we'd hear it ringing and know who it was for no matter who was logged in. Now that functionality is busted, and when one of us is logged in the other misses all the calls, and if one of my kids is logged in then both of us miss our calls! I can't believe Apple considers this "bug" to be "fixed".
There's got to be a way around this; maybe by using the "defaults write" command or something? That command sets a lot of preferences that Apple claims are not user-settable.

Lower than expected sound output from A100

Hi.
I have recently bought a Satellite A100 PSAA9E and have been pretty disappointed with the low sound output from it.
It's currently set to the highest volume level and is nowhere near the level I would expect.
Is this normal for this machine? All advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi
Well, its not easy to say what a low level is because its your own perception.
You know that the notebook speakers are not very powerful speakers because of the size and you can not compare it with other speakers.
But nevertheless; did you check also the settings in the control panel -- Sound and Audio devices?
There you can set the different sound controls to max. Maybe then you will notice a difference.

Can I put ALL the sound output from my iMac through Airport?

Just got Airport Express, and managed to install it very quickly on my existing Belkin network. Just don't forget the $ before your WEP key.
Does anyone know if its possible to put ALL the sound output from my iMac through to Airport, rather than just iTunes? So internet radio, streaming videos etc?

Thanks matey - that's just what I was after.
Not sure if that will also let me put my iMac's system sounds through my HiFi - probably not - but then who in their right mind could possibly want to...?
(Be nice if you could though)

Hi, I've Mac Book Pro 15" with Retina display. Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working. When I tried to solve this, I've noticed in system preferences it's jumping from Internal speakers to Head phone and vice versa. Can anyone help me on this issue please? I am using the original Apple Headset only.
Thanks

No sound output from iPod classic

I have an iPod classic (5th generation). Suddenly, I have no sound output from earphones, iHome, speakers or AUX. Reset did not fix the issue and I have not done a restore. I saw something referring to a "logic board" issue so thinking there is a hardware issue. Any thougths?

A complete restore of the device in iTunes would rule out any sort of software error/glitch or data corruption on the device. So if you haven't done that yet, I would go ahead and do so now.
Restoring iPod to factory settings
And if the problem still continues, it's likely hardware related with the iPod's logic board as you have already noted.

No sound output from Maxell iPod dock

Just purchased a Silver 8GB Nano, Maxell iPod dock, and the Scosche PassPort/Adapter for 5th generation iPods, all as a gift set. The Maxell dock now charges the Nano with the Scosche adapter, but there is no music signal out of the dock's 3.5mm jack. In fact, the Nano's internal speaker remains on while sitting on the dock, charging.
I have reset the device many times using center + menu, with no changes.
Headphones plugged into the Nano's 3.5mm jack work perfectly, but no output from the Maxell dock.
Anyone used this dock, with or without a 5th gen Nano, or have any tips to fix this? I am still waiting on a reply from Maxell via email, but I doubt that will happen until next week...

I have the same problem with a 5th Generation iPod on a Jensen JiMS-195 Universal Docking Station for iPod. The sound is great using the Auxiliary jack, but I only get sound through the internal iPod speakers when it's docked. I have checked the Apple site and the Jensen site, but no luck.
Is there some setting on the iPod to change this behavior or is the dock the problem? Any response would be welcome.

Losing output from rear speak

Hello,
I have a SB Audigy 2 DS sound card and a Dell 5. Surround Sound speaker systems. All the speaker tests work and normally all the speakers work.
My problem is that sometime I notice that the sound has stopped coming out of the rear speakers. I don't really no what causes it or what it is that I manage to do to get it restored.
When I notice it, I usually end up rebooting, monkeying around with the calibration settings, monkeying around in the Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Speaker setting, etc. Everything always looks normal and after monkeying around long enough the rear sound is usually restored.
I just noticed it and spent fi've minutes monkeying around getting it restored. This is becoming frustrating as everything work perfectly for over a year. There most be some sort of conflict but what and where is beyond me.
If any of you readers have ever experience anything like this and can offer assistance I will appreciate it. Thanks.

Here's a tip from something that I discovered. Not sure who/what resets the volumes, but for some reason Windows will set the volume for all channels OTHER THAN left/right to 0, effecti'vely muting them. The solution? Go to "Control Panel", "Sound and Audio Devices", click on "Speaker Voume..." in the bottom half, and make sure that all the sliders are at max or at least moving together. This was my problem when I lost center and rear speaker outputs despite all other testing showing no problem.

Can´t get optical sound output from my brand new mini

have connected the MM to an optical input on my Yamaha RX-V659, but I can´t get no sound.
Mac-side: After connecting and turning on, "System Prefs -> Sound -> Output" has changed to Digital Output and says that no output controls are available for this output. I have tried playing from iTunes and DVD Player. In DVD player the option for selecting Digital Output had appeared, and I chose that. When I take a look at the end of the cable I plug into the receiver I see a constant red light.
Yamaha-side: I have tried 2 different optical inputs, and gone over my settings several times. The receiver does not seem to detect digital audio coming in. I tried the Signal Info menu on my receiver, and for another source it output:
PCM, 48kHz, 2.0, Analog
On the optical input it says:
---, ---, 2.0, Analog

I have a similar setup to a Kenwood receiver. You are correct that ALL system sounds (frontrow, system alerts, etc.) will play through to your stereo.
Have you tried switching Toslink cables and/or the toslink to miniplug adapter that is plugged into the mini?
I had a bad cable at one point in time, and a bad adapter at another point in the life of this system. You perhaps tried these things already but I only saw mention of trying 2 different inputs (I assume on the receiver) and made no mention of cables/adapters.
Let me know how you make out.

2 ZS Platinum with Logitech 5300e- No sound comes from rear speake

I just bought a new 2 ZS Platinum sound card and I use fairly new Logitech 5300e 5. speakers but no matter what I am playing, no sound comes from the rear speakers. However everythingh sounds fine in the front left, center and front right. As most posts on this board would suggest....yes, all speakers are securely connected and the switch on the back of the subwoofer is set to 5.. Windows control panel is set to 5., and so is everything else that asks. Im pretty sure I installed it correctly because the card shows up and I can hear good sound but only from the front. I read somewhere that I still needed a codec called ac3 so I downloaded it but there is still no sound. I updated the card with the latest driver which looks like was released in 2005. Is there ANY way to get real 5. sound? Do I need to purchase something else, a new codec? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Does the speaker test work in 5. channel mode? If it doesn't then it would like the X-Fi's lost the centre channel.
In that case you can try unplugging your speakers, changing into 2.0 mode plugging them back in and then changing to 5. channel mode and just fiddling about. 'tis a common problem with the X-Fi on a fresh install to lose or merge channels. There's no fix for it but to fiddle with the speaker/THX console settings and to plug and unplug stuff until the X-Fi decides to route stuff properly.
