NO AUDIO IN SPEAKERS of x200 but Headphones work

I am on an X200 which was released to me a month ago, all new. Sound worked just fine, but automatic updating is on for Vista Business 32-bit and I just lost it for no reason. I can hear audio on headphones but no audio from the speakers. Audio is indicated as "working properly" and so are the speakers. I have the latest version already of the Connexant Driver. Driver Version 4.92.13 and dated November 28, 2009. But still no sound from speakers Anyway, is this material, the location of the Audio Driver is stated as "0".
Can anyone please help me? I already tried restoring to the factory installed settings and even that did not restore the sound I've browsed through the forums but no particular topic detailing a solution for this one.

I had a similar problem and "rolled back" my audio driver 1 version - from the conexant audio driver to the microsoft audio driver. Both speakers and headphones are working fine now. Go to Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager (under Devices and Printer) - in the pop-up window expand Sound, video and game controllers and click on High Defintion Audio Device. In the next pop-up select the Driver tab and click on the button for Roll Back Driver. You will have to reboot for the change to take effect and the SmartAudio app will no longer function.

Sound is not coming out of speakers, but headphones work?

I have a Satellite L505-S5990 laptop. Today while I was sitting at home browsing the Internet, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It was working just fine minutes before. It was sitting on the counter the entire time and it just silently stopped working.
So I grabbed some headphones and plugged them in and they worked.
I restarted the computer, still no sound coming from speakers.
Windows 7 found no problems while troubleshooting the sound.
I downloaded the Automated Troubleshooting Services to diagnose and fix sound playback issues from Microsoft but that didn't find any issues.
I uninstalled the sound driver and installed the one that came with this laptop. I still get the same result. No sound from speakers but headphones work.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

Internal speaker silent but headphones work

I re-installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on my Lenovo Thinkcentre M57, but since then, the internal speaker remains silent(but headphones work). I tried to install various drivers on lenovo webpage and elsewhere (AC'97, etc...), without result. Before this re-installation, internal speaker was working normally.

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.

No Sound from speakers but Headphones work on HP All-In-One 23-p142

I recently purchased my computer HP Pavillion 23-p142 with Windows 8.1 64bit on July 9, 2015 and everything was golden...couldn't be happier with it for my needs. Now, in just the last few days, the sound doesn't work at all. No sound from Windows Media Player, Youtube etc. Absolutley nothing. Not even system sounds. I've tried troubleshooting tips such as going into Computer Management> Services> Windows Audio and restarting that service...still no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio drivers several times and it worked on the very first attempt then the sound went away again after a few hours. I'm at a loss for what to try next...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PS. I forgot to mention my headphones work fine. And here are some screenshots of devices...if that helps with anything.

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.

[SOLVED] No sound on laptop speakers, but headphones working properly

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with sound on my laptop. My laptop speakers doesn't work, but if I connect my headphones to the 3.5mm jack, headphones sound correctly. I managed a few days ago to fix this issue, but after a few days without problems, it stopped working.

How exactly did you fix it and what happened to break it?
Well I simply removed /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, and rebooted. Then the sound started working. Then I used a live-cd distro that I'm testing for my University, and when I rebooted the next time, the sound didn't work.

I haven't had time to try it. This morning, started working without doing anything... there must be trolls inside my laptop. I hope this time will continue working indefinitely.
Thanks a lot for answering.
EDIT: Yesterday before shuting down my laptop I returned the configuration I had changed to its original state, so that could be the change that made my speakers work again this morning.

No audio from speakers or earphones, but no error messages?

My laptop gave me a BSOD today (which happens frequently actually) and after rebooting it, there was no sound coming from the speakers or the earphones.
I've made sure the drivers were enabled, that the volume is turned up, and that the drivers are up to date. I've deleted the driver and reinstalled it, and still nothing. I've updated my BIOS in the last 2 months from a previous problem, and I had not updated or installed anything before the BSOD.
The audio devices all seem to be working fine: the "mixer" in the taskbar shows that the sound is working and the green and grey levels rise and fall as normal when I'm playing music.
My audio only works with HDMI output. It may work with a USB speaker; I don't have one to test this theory.

Hi vc329,
Doesn't sound like encouraging news, though it is odd that the sound came back for a short while at least. If you still haven't rebooted the PC since putting it to sleep and loosing the sound, then I would suggested going ahead and rebooting or even doing a full hard reset (power down, remove the AC adapter, remove the battery, hold down the power button for 20 seconds or so, then reconnect the AC power and Battery and boot up) to see if the sound can be recovered again.
If the sound still doesn't work, Check Device Manager to see if the sound driver still looks OK, make sure you are using the latest driver again (it looks like the latest driver is 6.10.6381.0), another option might also be to try the older driver that is still available from the site, or try recovering the original driver shipped on the PC. The steps to do these things are covered in the document listed below, in Step 6 (Restoring the Audio Driver), Step 7 (Updating the Audio Driver), and Step 8 (Checking Device Manager):
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
If none of that seems to help, I'd recommend testing the hardware using Step 9 in that document.
If the online warranty check sees you as out of warranty, you may still be OK if you have the original proof of purchase (receipt) from wherever you purchased the PC, but you may have to provide it when calling HP for service if the sound can't be fixed. If you are close to the end of warranty I'd recommend calling customer care for your area (I assume you are still in Asia) and validating the warranty with them as soon as possible just to make sure.
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

No sound through external speakers on my iphone 4s but headphones work fine! When headphones unplugged volume button shows headphones not plugged in! Tried all solutions suggested here to no luck?!??

No sound through external speakers but fine through headphones! Button on left is not on mute and checked all settings and all fine! Tried all solutions here but no luck! Sound gone before I updated the software??

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

'No Volume Available' but headphones work

Weird problem just cropped up today on my iPhone 4 (no longer under warranty). If I try to play the Music app, Pandora, YouTube and many other sound apps I can't hear the audio over the speaker and on some apps a message appears saying 'No Volume Available' on the screen. It has this message in Pandora, in YouTube and the music app just don't have the volume slider.
If I plug in headphones all work normally.
If I use the Phone app, or Talkatone I can hear the audio via the earpiece and I can switch it to the speaker. So I know the speaker system works as some apps detect the speaker and can route audio through there. Skype on the other hand works via speakerphone but not via the earpiece. Key-clicks and lock sounds don't work via the speaker.
I've reset the iPhone a few times, 2x via holding down the power key and shutting it down then restarting with the Apple logo and once forcing a shutdown via power+home buttons.
I've restored the iPhone, I'm running iOS 5.0.1, bluetooth is off, mute switch on the side is on (I've switched it both on and off, didn't do anything). I've tried plugging/unplugging in headphones to see if debris or something would be knocked loose but that didn't work. Plugging/unplugging dock connector several times didn't work either.
I'm wondering if an app I tired did something weird electrically? I had a headphone jack plugged-in and ran the TASCAM recording app to try and record something. Had a tough time figuring it out and it was while I was trying it that the problem seemed to occur as I couldn't hear anything recorded via the app.
I've since removed the app and done all of the above to no avail. I'm going to try another restore. And don't suggest I just go to an Apple Store, the nearest one is a few hundred miles away on another island.

I went to an Apple Store and let a 'Genius' check it out. First thing he says is that the water damage indicator was activated in the bottom dock connector. I've never dropped my iPhone 4 in water though I probably do live in one heck of a humid place so maybe that's why it activated. He had opened it up and I asked him if there was any indication at all if there was water damage in the iPhone and he said 'no.'
I let him wipe the phone since I had it backed-up via iTunes. Then it started to work and thought we had it fixed but then all of a sudden it stopped producing sound again. This is with no extra apps loaded on it and right there at the Genius Bar with the Genius there. He operated the controls and was just stumped.
He said because it was out of warranty I could get a replacement one there at Apple for (I forget) something like $149, or I could wait a few week when I can get an early upgrade to an iPhone 4S for $199 (that would only be for the 16GB model, mine is a 32GB iPhone 4).
So yeah, the Genius couldn't figure it out. The phone's sound continues to have this problem along with the problem, which I hear many people have, of the home button being disfunctional at times. The iPhone 4 is a flawed design in so many ways: Antenna, Home Button, Audio System, Lower Battery life with iOS 5.

No audio from iTunes...but it worked before :S

I hate it when this happens: works one day, not the next...just like my subordinates at work. ;>
I double-click on the song title, the little speaker icon appears next to the track title, and that's it--no audio. I can drag the "time slider" up at the top to any point within a song and even after I press play, still nothing happens.
Under nominal use, little "audio lines" would flare from the speaker icon (after double-clicking on a tune), indicating that the song is playing...and indeed it could be heard. But they don't appear, now.
Here's the mystery part: nothing's changed in my computer over the weekend--everything worked fine as of last Friday.
Useful info:
Window Compatibility: Off;
Get Info Volume Adjustment: None;
Windows Media Player plays songs (not downloaded from iTunes) just fine;
I uninstalled iTunes, d/l it again from Apple, then installed it--nada.
I'm able to still purchase iTunes, but they won't play like the non-downloaded tunes.
Arrrrrrrrggggghhhh! I'm going through music withdrawal here at work.
TIA for your help!

hmmmm.
it's plausible that the rats got at your QuickTime over the weekend.
let's try a careful standalone QT 7.0.4 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes play music properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Stuttering Audio On Speakers

Hi!
I own a HP Pavilion dv6-3225tx notebook. I have been experiencing stuttering audio problems when i try to play audio through speakers. However, the headphones do not experience this problem. Please help.

Just noticed my MP3s are stuttering too...
EDIT
Rather than bumping this up with a new post here's an update. Not sure if a software update helped, but I completely forgot about this issue; all has been fine since!

The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail. Help?

The last few times I've used headphones in my iPad, the audio has been all messed up to the extent where it's better to just use the internal speakers and not the headphones. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones to no avail.
The iPad was bought in mid-June, but I did not get extended Apple-Care warranty on it. Any idea of what's happenening?

Multiple means how many? If only 2 or 3, they could all be faulty. Try the headphones in some other device, to make sure they are OK. Or there could be something wrong with the headphone port.
Your iPad is still covered by the 1-year warranty so you should make a Genius appointment and have it looked at.
Another thing to try is to plug in the headphone jack a few times in succession to see if it frees up something inside the port.

Macbook 2008 no audio from speakers - can't disable digital audio - red light in headphone jack

Looking for help with this problem, that seems like a lot of people had in the past and still have, but I see that a couple of discussions on it here have been archived. Too bad, as the problem continues.
I seem to be having the same problem with my late 2008 white 2.1Ghz Macbook.
I had used earphones a few times with movies and iTunes, with no problems. Now I've just rebooted to find that I have no audio from internal speakers (the boot up chime works though). Earphones work perfectly.
There is a constant red light in the earphone jack. The volume icon in the top menu bar is greyed out. In the Sound preference panel, Built-in Speakers are not available as an option for audio out. The only option is Digital Audio. If I connect earphones, then they are available as the only option.
I have tried all the various methods that people have recommended, to switch off digital audio through the earphone jack: trying to flip the little switch with a toothpick, paper clip, etc., as well as cleaning around inside the jack with a bit of rubbing or cleaning alcohol; also tried inserting and removing the earphones plug several times, while pushing the volume buttons on the keyboard. Nothing works.
I did get something from inserting/removing the earphone plug, as I seemed to be able to adjust volume from the keyboard, but I never got sound out from the speakers; the volume window seemed to indicate increase/decrease volume as I pressed the keys, but after a few seconds the volume window greyed out again with the No Entry symbol.
Trying to flip the digital audio switch in the jack occasionally gets the red light to turn off for a couple seconds, but then it comes back on.
Is there any particular problem with this that can't be solved by the aforementioned methods, that many people have used to solve it in a simple manner? Could my problem be more serious? Is there anything I could do if I opened up the Macbook, e.g., somehow to manually turn off the digital audio switch?
Any help greatly appreciated.

Got it fixed with a small flathead screwdriver with a fairly wide blade. Opened iTunes, started playing songs, had red light in headphone jack, as per usual with this problem.
Put screwdriver in jack, with blade more or less vertical, started moving it around inside of jack in clockwise motion, pressing pretty firmly. Took just a couple of "swirls" around the inside of the jack and then audio finally turned on! Was a bit of a hassle, but finally worked.
Many thanks to all for their suggestions.
P.S. re. advice not to use metal object. This was the only way I was finally able to solve the problem (i.e., using the small screwdriver). I didn't see where using a metal object would be a problem, seeing as the headphone plug itself is metal. Anyway, it worked.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.
