N95 sound won't use Speakers?

Has anyone hit this weird one?
If I try to play music/video, podcast etc on my N95, the sound will only play through the phone, not through the speakers or the headset (if attached).
It's driving me potty. On 100%, I can barely hear the music, unless I put the phone to my ear! I've looked all through the various options, and settings in the toolbox, but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced this, or can suggest a way out of it?
Thanks.

Hi ocifant
You have of course gone to "select enhancement" and ticked "headphones" which you only need do once?

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker. Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

Hi there Lutostan,
It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

My sound won't work on my ipod 5. I plugged the speakers in and it works fine. When the headphones aren't plugged in and I turn the volume up it says that they are plugged in. Please help !

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. (this was already sugested) 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
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks

HP 6120n Sound won't work bought replacement sound card not sure of what to do

HP 6120n - Using win 7 - Sound won't work
Tried restarting and Troubleshooter and it not not solve the problem
Bought used replacement sound card (30 day warranty) but not sure of what to do to install it or even if it is necessary

Hello @4u2bu,
I understand that the audio is not working on your HP Pavilion a6120n Desktop PC running Windows 7 and you are wondering it you should install the new audio card you purchased. I would recommend that you first try the steps set out in the HP Support document: No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7), which has been designed to address audio issues with computers running Windows 7.
Now if the above document does not work I would suspect a driver issue and since HP does not have audio drivers for your computer running Windows 7 I would suggest you go ahead and install the new audio card as it will have the needed drivers.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Nokia N95-8GB, won't play Apple Lossless.

Hello All,
I have a large number of tunes ripped to Apple Lossless (via iTunes). I've tried everything I can think off, but my new N95 just won't play them. There are two problems: a) the tracks end up on the device as "Artist:Unknown" and "Album:Unknown". and b), the tracks won't play on the phone (the elapsed time just sticks at -:--).
Nokia Music Manager either just hangs or copies the tracks to the phone. ANd I get the same results if I copy from my PC via "Data Transfer" on the USB.
Does anyone know how I can get these files onto the phone so that it'll play 'em? Or can anyone recommend a better format-changer so that I can downgrade them.
Cheers,
John

People in the know use analog....
But regardless, Apple Lossless is yet another compression algorithm as such it will tamper with the audio quality.
Not to get into that debate, but if you think you are getting "lossless" you are "clueless". In a good way, we are the victims of the storage problems.
To accurately depict real sound, you will need infinite amounts of bandwidth and storage.
So now that we have settled that, what we are talking about is how much is "good enough quality".
What can people REALLY perceive. I'll bet good money that if you record the same song in different codecs and bitrates you will be hard pressed to find people that can pick any codec over another at over 300 kbps. At this bitrate it's very difficult to tell MPEG4 AAC to MPEG-1 Layer 3, or eAAC+, never mind WAV or Apple Lossless.
If you don't believe me try it. encode the same song into MPEG4 AAC, MP3, eAAC+ at 300 kbps then also put the WAV and Apple lossless. Create a playlist and play them back through a good set of headphones or home stereo system at random or with someone else selecting the different versions. BTW if your pair of headphones cost you less than 200 pounds then you won't be able to tell the difference.
Since I'm already compromising by going digital then all I have to decide is how much I'm willing to compromise. If I want high Q, I have my home set-up.

Satellite A505-S6973 - No sound of my laptop speakers

I own an A505-S6973 and today i lost volume on my speakers. When i jack in my headphones i get sound but without the headphones plugged in, I get no sound of my laptop speakers.
I checked device manager for software problems but everything is cleared, also, my volume is fully on.
I attempted a restore, but was unsuccessful, also i tried to uninstall and reinstall value added package but when attempting to launch the software after extracting it an error[0x8146045B] signals itself.
This morning everything seemed to work fine, the only thing i can think of, i removed windows media my network places sharing.
If this is the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re-install it. Also, the value added package issue, is there anything that can be done, because the buttong to enable/disable touchpad when depress nothing happens but if i use the function key with F9 it enables/disables.
I really hope someone can help me, it seems this is an unlucky weekend for me.

As I see, the VAP utility makes problems. The next step I advise you to do a little bit dangerous as you have to remove some elements in registry, but before
1. Make the ,,Hidden Folders,, to be seen. (Control Panel- Appearance and Personalization-Folder Options (click the , show hidden files,, and then choose ,, Show hidden files, folders,, and Apply)
2 Go to C:\Users\, here you should choose your profile name, in my case it ,, jeka,, \AppData\Local\temp\TC20020600B.temp\ Here you should see TVAP folder, remove it completely
3 Run the ,,regedit,, that found in Windows folder. Choose ,, Edit,, -,,Find,, and type in ,,toshiba value added,, In left Column you will see highlighted folder with value like 8FFFC660FB2109346A37579FE5FF81E8, delete it. restart computer.
Then, start Tvap exe, it should work now. But you should be careful working with registry, don't delete anything other

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.

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!!

Strange sound coming through external speakers

On my 2010 iMac there is a problem when *no audio* is coming out through the external speakers (connected via the headphone port).
If i play any sound (even change the volume and get the 'blip' sound) and then go back to silence, after 5 - 10 seconds I can hear a strange buzzing/hissing sound.
Even when I'm playing music there is no buzzing/hissing but when I pause the track, 5 - 10 seconds later the sound returns.
Using these speakers through my macbook there is no such problem, only the iMac.
I think this may be related to a recent software update since it is a new problem. Any ideas?
thanks.

Could there be a Ground loop in something connected to the iMac?

ITouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones

iTouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones when earphones are plugged in..
M using the latest version of itunes and iOS 4.2.1
....Have already tried formatting, resetting and even formatting when my earphones were plugged in...
Please help immediately..M out of warranty..

Have you tried another pair of earphones? It may be that the headphone jack is failing. You can, if you are competent, replace it yourself or get it fixed by a third-part place. See the following:

My Mac's sound won't work-the buttons do though

When I play videos(i haven't checked youtube yet) my sound was out if i paused the video and restarted. Now my sound won't work at all or even for my Facebook games. I had this problem before with just youtube and i was able to fix that, but now i can't fix this. Help?

Hey saxon198
If it is just the one user account, then the next step would be to migrate the data that you have to a new user. The best method is to copy your Home Folder to an external hard drive. The next step after that is complete is to delete the user that is causing the issue. Then all you have to do is to copy your data back over. Just copy the contents of the documents folder into the new documents folder instead of replacing it. Now things that probably will not make the move unless you have iCloud or another syncing service is Contacts, Calendars and Notes. You can export those if needed. If it seems confusing or to daunting, then the next step would be to contact Apple Support for further help. I have provided a link to do so with multiple different options for you.

TS3274 Sound won't work for games

THe sound won't work for games unless I plug In headphones. The setting shows like the sound is on.

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.

Can't get surround sound to work, all speakers pl

This is driving me nuts.
I have surround sound speakers and everything was working fine with them and my SB audigy card.
However I had to move the card over one pci slot to make room for my video card cooler.
After doing this I uninstalled the card/drivers and reinstalled them and what not.
However now I have no surround sound. I simply get sound from all the speakers the same.
I run the speaker test through the surround mixer/audio hq where it goes through each speaker to test it. The sound on that comes from every speaker even though it shouldn't. However my back right speaker doesn't have anything come from it during this test, but it plays sound from everything else.
I have both the surround mixer and windows set to use surround speakers, etc as it should be.

I fixed part of my problem.
I must have hit the rear wire or something because it was loose and I plugged it all the way back in and now my surround works how it should.
However the rear right speaker doesn't work right. I don't know why but it's like someone has the volume specifically turned down on it (like literally 98% down) only and the other speakers are normal.
However if I move the rear right speaker (on the subwoofer) an dplace another speaker in it's place, it will work fine. So it's not so much that speaker as it seems to be specifically the subwoofer connection for the rear right speaker.

Help! Suddenly no sound from home theater speakers!

I bought a Sony KDL 46W5100 TV and the BDVE300 Home theater system at BB. I have always had these two hooked up directly to
each other with an HDMI cable and the digital optical cord. There are no other components involved.
We have always had surround sound to the HT speakers when the television speakers are set to 'audio system'
II am in NO WAY an audio/video expert, but I've had to mess with the settings here and there
after one of the kids reset something and I've always been
able to return the system to proper operation.
I am not sure what happened this time, but I cannot get the home theater speakers to give me any sound when in TV mode or
the BD/DVD mode. Theater mode does nothing for the sound either. I know the speakers are connected properly as they work during the 'test' and also when using the FM radio. I also know I am not on 'mute'
I do get video when playing a DVD or blu ray but no sound. I borrowed a BVD E770W, hooked it up and ended up with the same result.
This would lead me to believe that I have some rogue setting in my TV or maybe my HDMI cable is bad? I'm not sure about the
cable as I still have video through it.
I've re-read all my manuals, searched the forums online and I found nothing
Can anyone give me some advice here?
My family would greatly apperciate it

Try unplugging the power cord to TV and Surround receiver for 15-20 minutes. Plug back in and retry. If test tone & tuner have sound, your receiver is working. This will reset your data lines and hopefully restore operation. If not, and the DVD & TV sound hookup is coming thru the TV, the firmware in the TV may need to be updated found here:
