No audio from internal speaker or headphones

Hi all,
I have no sound coming out of my internal speakers or headphones. I'm using a Probook 4510s, Windows 7 Professionl (32 bit), SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio. Not quite sure what is causing this as I didn't make any recent changes to the system. I read up on all the forums, and this is what I've done so far:
- Triple-checked the volume and default sound settings.
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the sound driver twice (downloaded it from HP Support)
- Disabled and re-enabled the sound driver
- Checked the BIOS to ensure that the sound device is on
- Ran all the possible sound diagnostics from Windows Fixit and the onboard feature in the Control Panel - no issues detected
- Ran Windows Update to see if it could resolve the problem
- Uninstalled and reinstalled HP Quicklaunch Buttons to see if it was maybe interfering with the sound
- Ran multiple virus, malware and spyware checks - nothing comes up
Could this be a hardware issue? Is there anything else besides a clean install I can try??
ANY help would be much appreciated, apart from the obvious solutions I've tried already?
Cheers
sakmaz

If you feel that its a hardware issue most probably some drivers were messed around (either added or updated) via windows update in the background.
Try this as a last resort (as i cant think of better options right now)
- Disable windows update for sometime
- download slim drivers : http://www.driverupdate.net/downloads/SlimDrivers-setup.exe
- let it download the db and scan ur system.
- if it shows something related to audio (infact others like chipser related, mei etc) update them one by one.
- keep a check on the driver details tab in device manager to make sure the update was indeed applied.
- restart pc if reqd.
- check your audio output.
- if it works just make sure to do a manual windows update scan and see the culprit and add it into the ignore list

No audio from internal speakers until headphones plugged in

This is for a Hp dv 6 with beats audio.I have no audio from the internal speakers until i plug the headphones in , when I get sound from both the internal speakers and the headphones.
I did find some people had the same issue which was resolved after changes in the realtek HD audio controller but I cannot find the audio controller on my laptop , which I am sure is different from the realtek audio drivers
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers without any success.

No audio from internal speaker

My Macbook suddenly stopped recognizing its speakers. When I go to system preferences, the only listing under "output" is "digital output". I can use headphones, but when I unplug them, the red light remains on in the headphone jack and the speakers won't work. The speaker icon is grayed out.
I have tried removing the battery and zapping the PRAM. I have also tried going into the library and trashing all the audio settings. I originally thought this was a problem associated with 10.6.3 update, but apparently, that is not the case. I even took my computer in to the Apple Store. They ended up replacing my hard drive, which did nothing to solve my problem (but gave me days of reinstalling applications ahead of me).
Apple tech support via phone have not come up with any solution.

Same thing just happened to my 3 year old MacBook... I fixed it after referencing the URL below and realizing one of the "tabs" in the audio port was causing the problem. After about 8 tries of working the ear pod jack in/out of the port (with red light glowing), the light finally went away and my internal speakers now work. I've seen some people recommend taking a toothpick and gently pressing down the tabs in the audio port, but that didn't work for me. Good luck!

Audio out from internal speaker, how?

I purchased iPhone 3G 8GB, before that I have been using iPod touch. With iPod touch audio from games etc came out from internal speaker if I did not plug earphones. But for some reason that does not work with iPhone 3G.
Only very few apps uses internal speaker with iPhone 3G, like iPod app. But rest of apps does not play audio before I plug earphones. Is there away to fix this or is there something wrong with my new iPhone 3G? I purchased two days a go.

all sound should come out of speaker if headset isn't plugged in. check in sound settings that "silent" vibrate isn't on.
also some apps have there own volume settings so even if you turn the apps sound down the phones other sound stays the same, such as the ringer..

IPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones

iPod 4th gen unable to play music from internal speaker but can with headphones
Can anyone help

- 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 iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- 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.

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.

Qosmio X500 - How to enable recording from internal speaker?

How do you enable recording from internal speaker on Qosmio X500?
Is this possible because from Control Panel / Sound / Recording only microphone can be seen.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
Do you want to record the sound that will be played through the internal speakers?
Therefore you can use the Windows Sound Recorder or other tools like Audacity. Latter is a very nice freeware tool. :)

IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

iWeb is an application to create webpages with.
It used to be part of the iLife suite of applications.
iWeb has no knowledge of the internal speaker on your iPhone.
You may want to ask in the right forum.

No Audio from built in & external headphone from HP Pavilion dv6810us Notebook PC

I have HP Pavilion dv6810us Entertainment Notebook PC. You can find the complete product details @
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01391847&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3686683 .
When I play any video file only picture is visible but no sound is coming from built in speakers. Also audio is not coming although I connect headphone. The speaker icon in the system tray have 'X' (Red cross mark) on it & when I hover mouse on it is displaying message "No Audio Output Device is installed", so I cannot open the volume control.
I don't know how it happened suddenty. Everything was working perfectly fine before. I have not uninstalled any driver. My laptop comes with preconfigured Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 edition & Altec Lansing speakers. Also I can't see "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager. I tried to "Add legacy hardware" to add "Sound, video and game controllers" in Device Manager, but I couldnt find out the Altec in the manufacturers list.
HP customer care suggested me to install Conexant High-Definition Audio Driver from ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp40001-40500/sp40170.exe. But when I try to install it, I am getting error "Driver Installation failed : Could not find the device for this driver."
Can anybody suggest me how can I enable audio without loosing my data on it?

Sanjiv
Go to Sound via Corntrol Panel. In Playback tab you should see Internal Speaker/Headphone with message showing the conexiant working and also a tick in green circle. If not select and apply or OK. This should solve your proble. If not then follow this:
Go to Device Manager via the Control Panel and look under Sound, Video and Game Controller. The active drive like High Definition Audio Driver should be listed. Right mouse click (dont do anything but select Properties and select Driver Tab and see if "Roll Back Driver" is high lighted, if yes then revert back to your previous driver. I think from here on you should be able to manouvers around and get your sound.

Sound Output - Internal Speaker and Headphone Jack?

I just installed my new iMac, which replaced my Mac Mini. I hook my Mac to my stereo via the headphone jack for playing iTunes. But most of the time I don't have the stereo on.
is there a way to keep the headphone jack plugged in and still have audio come out the internal speaker? Basically send audio output to both the internal speaker and the headphone jack at the same time?
On the Mac Mini this wasn't an issue because I had a splitter that ran from the mini to my monitor speakers and to my stereo.
Thanks!

Hi, you can get the internals to give notice of emails & actions..externals for any other sound..
Sadly your wishes on this matter will not come to fruition...L

MacBook Pro: No Audio from Internal Speakers - Solution

Issue: (MacBook Pro late 2010) Absolutely no audio to internal speakers after OSX has booted up.
Digital Out is the only available output device shown within System Settings
Analog headphones work
Digital Out works
Bootup "BONG" works (and is of course now perma loud after PRAM reset... uggh)
Things I have tried from least drastic to greatest in the following order:
sudo killall coreaudiod
Clear PRAM
Using Deploy Studio (first performing DiskUtility format as well):
re-image MacBook with a the same original OSX Lion image it has been working with for the past 3 months
re-image MacBook with previous Snow Leopard image (obviously used to work)
Not using Deploy Studio (but first performing DiskUtility format, using original supported installation media: DVD, Apple Store):
Installed Snow Leopard (no audio), then upgraded to Lion through Apple Store (still no audio)
Installed Snow Leopard using installation DVD provided with MacBook Pro (< waste of time as the above step didn't work either, but including here for completeness)Note: Even the "Welcome to Mac" intro movie is silent, audio controls are crossed out
Gentoo Live DVD _works_ (after enabling Front Speakers using alsamixer other wise it was also muted and no audio would work except through head phones)
Well holly $%#$%, %^#&^. After performing step 5, and enabling Front Speakers using alsamixer, I now have audio in OSX Lion
I believe this happened after I used the Mini Stereo jack for Head Phone use.
How in the ______ did this happen? And why did it take a third party software to _somehow_ enable audio to the internal speaker _after_ OSX Lion completely booted?????
Note to all: You can probably use a Ubuntu Live CD to perform step 5. Or any live cd that loads up Intel Audio drivers.
Jason Miller

I appreciate your response. I still have concerns:
The red-lite is off when my issue is happening.
The red-lite is on when my issue is happening.
It was not consistent. My concern is the Macintosh operating system not detecting the change. My other concern is it can _not_ be only a hardware switching issue, as Alsamixer, a software program, can make the switch toggle between off or on. If it was a hardware-only issue, Alsamixer would be a fail. And, if it is actually a hardware-only issue triggering a software 1 or 0 switch somewhere:
My final concern is 'where is this setting being stored' as clearning PRAM and reinstalling entire operating system after opertating system (Leopard to Lion and back to Leopard) after a disk wipe has no effect.
I guess it sounds to me, that OSX tries to be too user-friendly by not allowing peeps to change those options themselves. Is there a dscl command switch I can use to manually override such an effect? (Just in case I don't happen to have anything to stick into the mini-jack port)
Regardless, your answer is correct. Thank you both (Ciao and Allan Jones)

No music,video or app sound from internal speaker.

Ok so here's the deal... My itouch doesn't play any songs through the internal speaker but does through the headphones... Only thing is, it will make that swoosh sounds when connecting to a computer... I have done the 5 r's, went through all my settings such as sound check off blah blah blah... i sent it to apple and they didn't do anything for me because it was 'misused' which may be so but it should still play music right? Its not terribly beat up.. Another thing, does anywhere in the 30 pin connection engage the speaker i.e. when removed from the dock the speaker turns on? if you may be wondering its a 2nd gen... thanks for any input

My 3G's speaker stopped working sometime in the last week or so. After trying all of the support suggestions I call Apple Care, tried maybe 1 or 2 other things. At the direction of Apple Care I did a factory restore, still no sound.
Took it in to my local Apple store and they gave me a new one. So far so good with the new phone.

No sound from internal speakers or headphones when using ART Tube interface

Hi - can anyone help with this...
I have no sound fromthe internal speakers or headphones when using my new ART Tube USB interface - I get a nice loud recording level from the ART but cant monitor - in Logic 7.2
Audio hardware interface in logic 7.2 is set to USB Codec - just like the ART manual states
And the SOUND control panel is set to speakers/headphones
But no love...
Any comments welcomed
Si2

By default, OSX will only let you have one interface active at any one time - so if you specify the ART as your interface to get sound in, you don't have access to your regular interface to listen to it.
But there is a workaround - open the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, create a new "Aggregate Device", and add both your required audio interfaces to it.
Now, back in Logic, select the aggregate device you created as the audio device, and now all your inputs and outputs from both interfaces are available - the aggregate device acts as one big interface containing both your hardware interfaces.

No audio from internal speakers

My Macbook will not play audio from the internal speakers. It will, however, play through a set of headphones or external speakers. I have tried going to the preferences, but all it shows in the "sounds" area is digital out and there are no controls. I have also tried starting in safe mode and then rebooting, and still no sound from the internal speakers. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Robin

Normally when the digital audio has been switched on there is a red light coming from the headphone jack. You could still see if clicking the switch works but with no light there may be a different problem involved and you may need to talk to Apple support.
Try resetting the SMC (System Management Controller) and/or PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory). Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM?
If this doesn't help call Apple or go by a store for help
