No more speakers, but output work !

My sound output works, but I don't have any sound going out of my speakers when I unplug my headphones. Can somebody help me ?

Hi Nicholas,
When you say +"...I don't have any sound going out of my speakers when I unplug my headphones."+ do you mean there's no sound from the internal speakers?
Out of curiosity, can you see a red light coming out from the audio port; where you plug in the headphones?
Briefly, inside the audio output socket of Apple notebooks there is a small microswitch which is enabled when you insert the headphone jack. Of course, when you remove the jack it's meant to deactivate thus allowing you to use the internal speakers again. If that's the case then it appears that, in your case, it got stuck in the active position which is why you'll be seeing the red L.E.D. light shining through and no sound from the internal speakers
Now, sometimes inserting and removing the headphone/speaker jack a few times cures the problem. Others have also had success by, carefully, using a paperclip or toothpick.

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.

[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 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.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how you are not able to get sound from the speakers of your desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Do you speakers work on another computer? Is there any software you need to install to properly configure your speakers on your system? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8). This should help return the sound to your computer using your speakers. I also recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point before the issue occurred. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

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.

My speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up

my speakers are not working but it still makes a sound when it boots up.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
4. Reset the NVRAM.
5. Reset the SMC.
6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Output speakers do not work, have a red light coming out of my headph. jack

My headphone jack works but theres a red light coming out of my headphone jack when its unplugged and my internal speakers will not work...anybody have an idea? Tried system preferences and says no options for selected audio and cant get any sound for my built in output speakers and my volume display in my bar is faded....HELP!

@Spencer
I know this thread was marked answered but thought I should chime in since my MBP (2.66Ghz Late '08, bought May '09) started to exhibit this behavior. I was getting "No Output" greyed out speaker images and the red light coming out from the headphone jack. It's been intermittent but finally wouldn't go away so I figured I'd contact Appe.
This afternoon I called Applecare and was advised to take it to the Apple store... no questions asked, no troubleshooting steps, just told me to take it to the store and even offered to make me an appt. I was able to get an appointment at the genius bar same day (literally 2 hours after I hung up the phone). My wife took a ride with me and we headed down there.
When I showed the technician she tested it and then went to the back room to double check something. When she came back she told me that it was hardware related and needed to be sent in for service. I am under warranty so it was no skin off my back but I will need to be without the machine for a few days.
I agree with Rod to take it in, esp. if you're still under warranty. I should also mention that this only started happening a few weeks ago but the red light part was rather sudden.
Good luck!

Audio output through speakers but not headphone jack

I have an HP Envy 15-J178ca. I am unable to play audio from my headphone jack, but audio plays on my speakers. When I plug in my headphones, the speakers stop outputting audio but no audio plays through the headphone output. I have tried multiple headphones which all work on different devices and was unsuccessful at outputting audio. I have updated my audio driver to the latest version using the HP drivers site. The following is a screenshot of the sound devices on my computer.

I have the same exact problem, may some one help us

Speakers and output dosent work!

SB X-FI Titanium.. Digital output works but Analog Signal M.I.A.

@SB X-FI Titanium.. Digital output works but Analog Signal M. I.A. Hi Guys,
I recently installed a new hard dri've on my machine after my power supply failed and fried it. After reinstaling Vista 64 and my drivers I noticed that my sound card was not working properly.
In.. control pannel > Sound > Playback I see my soundblaster listed but only the digital out is showing. There are two other icons listed.. one is for "Digital Output Device 2-High Definition Audio Device.. and one for a 3-High Definition Audio Device. I don't remember these being listed when my sound card was working properly before the HD crash.
No icon representing my analog output (Left/Right, Center, and Rear?Speakers)?is displayed. I reinstalled the drivers, updated the drivers, reformatted my HD and started all over again but nothing works.
I made sure that my motherboard sound card is disabled.. I am really stumped.. The sound card used to work quite well.. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it's
Here is my system info:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P (Realtek Audio Disabled)
Sound Card: Internal Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium
Any advice is much appreciated.

DRe: SB X-FI Titanium.. Digital output works but Analog Signal M. I.A. High definition audio device is what your card is detected as until you install the original CD driver or the Daniel K 2.0 support pack. Then you can update to the newest Creative drivers. I tried to format just like you and thought that I would just download Creative's newest driver and start from there. No Go!!? The newest Creative driver seems to install, but then after reboot like you, I have multimedia audio device.
So take out your CD if you have it, and run the driver setup only. Then using just this driver you can install all of the newer Creative updates. The Creative auto updater is installed along with your original driver and you will see it detect all available updates.
Easiest solution of all,
Try this pack and save yourself a load of hassle........
http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-X-Fi-Series-Support-Pack-2-0-05-5-2009/td-p/527485
This will install a very proper Creative driver, and applications that will work very very well on your system compared to the CD orignals

External speakers (Bose) quit working suddenly. The speakers work with an iPod but no longer on the iMac

These speakers have worked forever! Now they suddenly quit working. Plugged them into my iPod and they work fine. Headphones likewise don't work on the iMac. Seems to be a problem with the port and not the speaker system. Internal speakers work ok, but are far inferior to the Bose system. Are there some diagonstics I can run on this particular port? Shouldn't be a software problem (I'm running Lion10.7.5)

This solved my problem: in HARDWARE - Sound Preferences, I selected OUTPUT. I highlighted Headphone Port, (It was not originally highlighted), and then performed a complete shutdown (not restart). Re-booted, launched iTunes and the Bose speakers were working, as were the headphones.
This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me. Good Luck!

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they

I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

My iPhone 5s has stopped playing music out of the speakers. It works when I plug in my headphones but other than that there's no sound. It just randomly happened so I'm not sure if I can fix it or if I need to bring my phone in

Hi Cassilecompte,
If you are not getting any sound from your iPhone’s speaker, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

No more speakers, but output work !
