No audio from speakers, headphones work just fine

Hello everybody!
I have a problem with my speakers can anyone help me? I have a satellite L855 laptop with realtek HD audio and windows 8. I was playing some civ 5 last night when my computer suddenly freezed. When i restarted the computer had a system update. After the system update the sound does not work from the internal speakers.
Headphones work just fine though and everything looks normal (the green "sound bars" are moving even though i don't have sound).
i have checked the device manager and everything looks just fine.
I have updated my realtek drivers but it didn't help.
I have double checked and nothing is muted.
I have no idea what might've gone wrong, everything works perfectly except the speaker audio. I just bought this computer a week ago and i would be really pissed if i already had to get it to a repair station.
Can anyone please help me?
Solved!

Try a System Restore back to just before you processed the "System Update". From the Start screen, type "System Restore" and select Settings at the upper right and then click on "Create a Restore point"  at the upper left and follow directions.
If you post back to these Forums again, please include your COMPLETE model info as in my examples below.

  • [SOLVED] No sound from speakers, headphones work (laptop, ALSA)

    Sorry about another "No sound"-thread . So, the headphones work just fine, I can play music or Youtube-videos or whatever but the speakers on my laptop stay mute no matter what I do. I even tested the speakers with a Ubuntu CD to check if I've broken them somehow.
    I've been having this odd problem for a week or so, I don't know since I usually use the headphones on my laptop anyway.

    Could it be a driver issue? I just need some cryptic parameter to some module, right?
    I've been playing around with alsamixer to fix this problem, maybe I've just messed things up a bit more? I really don't know much about ALSA, so the answer might just be obvious to some.
    Thanks!

  • 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?

    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.

  • T410s internal speakers fade out after a second, headphones work just fine

    Hello Community,
    My THinkpad T410, Type 2912-45G, Windows 7 (64bit) has a problem with the speakers.
    Starting last monday (June 25th) my speakers stop working. When I boot the TP you can hear a static click through the speakers and it plays the windows sound for one second only. After the second you can hear another static click and the speaker stops working. Thats pretty much the way it is with all other audio content, when the TP is booted.
    After pressing the Mute-Button or the volume-up or volume-down buttons the speakers will resume working for a second or so (still the static click, right before this second and afterward).
    When I plug in my Headpones everything works fine. When I unplug my headphones, speakers do work again for another second.
    I allready updated my BIOS, installed and uninstalled the driver, activated the sound-card (CONEXANT 20585 HD AUDIO), tried to update the driver. But nothing worked so far. I allready checked whether the switch in the headphone jack is stuck, but I couldn't find anything.
    Did anyone experience the same or a similar problem? As the speakers do work for the mentioned second I assume, that the Hardware should be fine. As the headphones work properly the sound-card should be detected and istalled correctly.
    I would really appreciate if someone could help me out on this. Sending the TP in (it is still whitin warranty) is going to be my last option since I need the TP for work.
    Thank you very much.

    Hi thecez,
    Sorry to say that but it sounds like hardware issue. Please try BIOS and power management driver as well. If problem remain, please contact local lenovo when your machine is avaliable for inspection.

  • Reports based on SQL view contain no data. Reports based on tables work just fine

    When we load a report into Crystal reports server that is based on a SQL view the report will run but will contain no data. A report that pulls data from SQL tables works just fine. Running the crystal report on standalone crystal reports works just fine.
    I am completely lost on this one. If you have any ideas please send them my way.

    Are you missing an ODBC / TNS entry on your CMS (or report processing, if clustered env) server?  This could definately be an issue if the report will run locally within CR client, but not when hosted on the enterprise environment.  Another test would be to run the report from CR client ON the CRS / BOE server..

  • My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod speaker even though the buds are properly connected.

    My wireless earbuds work just fine, but some third-party apps play audio only through the iPod and iPhone speaker even though the buds are properly connected. Does anyone know why and is there a solution?

    Assuming you are using Bluetooth headphones, do the apps have the option to use Bluetooth?
    The app should have an option to select the speaker (or wired earphones) or the Bluetooth headphones.

  • My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  Can anybody help?

    My Bluetooth USB wireless transmitter for my portable BT speakers has quit working.  Preferences says, "The selected device has no output controls", it used to work just fine.  The internal and a pair of wired external speakers work fine.  Can anybody help?

    Just tested something and it worked.
    If I put the headphones all the way in, the mac recognizes it as a digital output.
    But if i don't put it all the way in, it recognizes it as headphones and works perfectly.
    It's probably this crappy headphones.
    If anyone has the same problem, try this out.

  • Red light coming from my audio output, speakers not working

    I read somewhere about wiggling a toothpick around in there, but that didn't work, any other ideas.
    This happened after I had a 1/4 to 1/8 converter plugged in there to use a little mini amp.
    I've lost the use of speakers.
    headphones work fine
    I think the optical input is still reading as if something is plugged in. Not sure if there's something in my system I need to switch, or if I need to take it in, have the jack opened up and replaced

    Just to rule out the obvious make sure your mute switch (F3) is not on. If your 'switch is stuck' you would see a red light coming from the headphone port.
    Double check your Sys Prefs - Sound settings ...if things still are not working you might try a SMC reset followed by a Pram reset that would restore your orig. settings.

  • HT203164 My newly installed burner works fine from i-tunes, except the burned disk won't work in my car CD player. The old burner's disks work just fine in the car. Please help.

    My newly installed burner works fine from i-tunes, except the burned disk won't work in my car CD player. The old burner's work just fine in the car. Please help.

    Using my new G5 I have the same problem, which I did not know using my old G4 with an external LaCie burner. The CD-Changer in my car is not able to read audio-cds, also my cd-player in my home hifi-system. The only way to play these audio-cds is (strange...) to put them directly in the main tuner of my car (usually used for the navigation cd), not using the Changer.
    Maybe the problem really depends on the quality of the CD-Rs. I have used CD-Rs from Sony (it´s a brand, I think?) and will try Verbatim.

  • Icloud photo library won't work unless connected to wifi.  If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from iphoto library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.

    If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from icloud photo library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.  If it's truly "storing" a low res version on my phone it shouldn't have to download anything.  I can understand the uploading of pics to library only being done over wifi, but there are plenty of times I'm going to want to send a pic when I'm not going to be near a network.  It does work occasionally, but the norm is that I get the error.

    Hi Ed,
    There is issue with Windows 7 when you send the email. It gives the message you specified.
    But you can always use Adobe Email client to send your images. In this workflow also you would get the error message but you can ignore it and continue to send the mail.
    Thanks,

  • How do I play audio from my headphone jack and internal speakers?

    How do I play audio from my headphone jack and internal speakers at the same time ? I have a splitter for my audio jack so that when i connect up my second monitor I can have it so it also plays audio as well as anything else i have connected into the jack but how do i let the internal speakers emit sound at the same time?

    Hello,
    If you mean the internal speakers in your Mac, you can't play audio through them at the same time you have anything plugged into the headphone jack. When you plug something into the headphone jack, it disconnects the internal speakers.

  • IPhone 4 Microphone not not working on voice calls but voice memos, viber, skype & facetime work just fine!! Any suggestions?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have encountered the following problem which I think a lot of other fellow iPhone users are also encountering however mine seems to be fairly pecuilar.
    Here's the issue;
    When making or receiving voice calls via my network operator's service, no one can hear me, i.e my audio input.  I can hear the person on the other end of the phone fine but they can't hear me whatsoever. 
    However when I use the likes of viber, skype and facetime, my audio input is perferctly fine and the person on the other end of can hear me.
    Note both viber and skype calls work just fine and 2 way communication is audbile regardless if I have a 3G or Wifi connection.  Plus I have full singal bar strength when near a mobile tower so that elimantes antenna issues.
    Also have taken alternative turns to cover both the top mic and the bottom mic during a viber or skype call and my audio input can still be heard.
    I've done a reset, a hard reset of the phone and a reset of the network settings, still to no avail.
    Have updated iOS to the latest version 5.1.1
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem, I have already restored the phone and it didn't work. The microphone works with facetime, skype and the voice memos. What just doesn't make sense is that when I use my earphone's microphone when calling, it doesn't work either. If it was a hardware problem the earphone's microphone would have worked I suppose.
    This is the second iPhone 4 I have. The first one shut off after 9 months so I got a replacement phone. The replacement phone lasted 10 months when the microphone stopped working. I went to the apple store and they just couldn't give me a solution. They understood my situation and told me that it was very weird but all they could offer me was that I had to pay for a replacement. This is absolutely unjust, why do we costumers have to pay for the companies mistakes.

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA isn't working. It won't recognize any external monitor. It worked just fine with my older spring 2011 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, but now with my brand new 2012 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, it no longer works

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro this summer and was all excited. But I'm very frustrated right now because I can't connect to any external monitors through VGA. My thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to HDMI works just fine, but when I try with my other connector to go from Thunderbolt (DisplayPort Mini) to VGA, Nothing works. my screen goes blue and changes size like it recognized something but nothing is ever detected on the external moniter or projector. I'm not sure what is wrong but it's very frustrating. I'm just very depressed that it worked just fine with my 2-year-old MacBook Pro but isn't working now. I'm running OS X 10.8.2. I just upgraded yesterday from 10.8.1 but that upgrade did nothing to fix my problem. Can anyone help? Thanks

    I am haveing this exact same issue. I have plugging in 3 monitors and tried two different VGA to mini displayport and nothing is working. I recently bought a Acer monitor and it work for an hour and now it back to doing the same thing.
    When I plug the VGA adapter in to the monitor the monitor think its not connected to a computer then when disconnecting the VGA adapter the monitor thinks it is connected to a computer.
    NEED SOME HELP!!! at the point of all my hair is pulled out.
