No Sound From Speak

I freely admit I know next to nothing about sound cards...
However, a neighbor is having problems and I said I'd investigate:
She runs Windows XP on a brand of PC I failed to recognize.<
She bought new speakers 2 months ago, and they worked fine until last week when they suddenly stopped working<
When I go to the Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices, and click on the 'Audio' tab, the pull down box has only one item for playback - Creatve Soundblaster PCI. I have not opened the case of her processor<
I have checked the volume levels everywhere - everything is set to max - nothing is muted<
Everything looks okay in device manager - nothing disabled in "sounds, video, game controller'<
If I unplug the little green jack from the back of the PC and plug it into a portable PC player, the speakers work<
I've read the forum's FAQ and would have tried the Standard Troubleshooting techniques, but hourly attempts to read any of the articles at [color="#ff0000"]http://us.creative.com/support/kb have only yielded the message "Knowledge server is not running please try later."Any ideas on what to try next? Should I just go out and buy her a new sound card?
<

Jeremy, you might want to inform the webmasters about the error that was shown at http://www.soundblaster.com/products/li've24bit/compare.asp
edit 2 - Also, try and clarify if Dolby Digital Decoding is possible with this card. I remember reading somewhere ( I'll find that page later) that there is hardware Dolby decoding.

TS5180 No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2

No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2

I have this problem too, .
I upgraded my iPhone4 today. Immediately my phone is defunct, and I cannot find any workaround listed anywhere online for the phone, only for the iPad2.
Reset All Settings as per iPad2 advice had no effect except to make me have to re-enter all my settings again.
The volume bar is greyed out in Music settings, and has no visible point on the bar where the volume is defaulted to.
The greyed out bar doesn;t change when the volume buttons are pressed.
However, sometimes the ringer volume logo pops up and changes when I do this, but not always.
However when I call the phone, the ringer is always at full volume, as it was immeditely prior to upgrade.
When I press either up or down volume button the ringer silences completely, immediately, and cannot be resurrected by any manouvers.
Only another call will make the ringer sound.
When I answer the call, the phone is mute though the mute button is not highlighted.
Toggling the mute makes no difference.
Selecting Speaker mode makes no difference - it is mute.
Selecting either up or down volume buttons has no effect.
Using the Jack output is silent.
I cannot hear music, youtube videos, BBC news clips, or any alerts.
Vibrate is still working.
Trying not to get angry again with another Apple "UPGRADE" disaster - but frankly - I can't even make or receive a phone call - is this fixable???
PLease does anyone know how to dothis?
BTW, being iPhone 4, of course the Home button doesn;t work, so anything involving the Home button must be able to work with the Accessibility Home Button software.
Desperately: How do I downgrade to previous iOS 6 last version?

Go to Solution.

Hi PhiPsiVol354
corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
OR
By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
follow this steps:
1- Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
   ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
4-Menu appear , show:
   -boot from hard drive
   -boot from cd
   -load mini windows xp
select second option ( boot from cd)
5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
8- the system restart and enter to windows .
9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
Good luck
I hope this will solve your problem.

IPod touch 4th gen - no sound from speaker dock

After upgrading my 4th gen iPod touch o iOS 5, the speaker dock no longer works. The dock charges the iPod, but iPod still continues to output sound from the internal speaker rather than the speaker dock. My iPhone with iOS 5 works fine on the dock. I have restored the iPod to a fresh state but the problem still persists
What could be the problem?
Thank you

Based on your troubleshooting, it would appear theat iOS 5 on the iPod made the dock incompatible. Have you loked at the dock manufactore's support site?

7921G and absence of a sound from speaker.

Hi.
No sound from "ear's speaker". There is sound only when I switch on backside loudspeaker.
It is not hardware problem - two devices behave equally.
7906 works fine.
Test enviroment with CUCM 7.0.2 and basic default configuration.
What's wrong?

If it works when in speakerphone mode but not in handset mode, then definitely appears to be a hardware issue.
When you are in handset mode, does it show an icon that there is a headset plugged in?

Super weird crackling sounds from speaker

Hello .. I have just been sent an LG S1 laptop and I have installed arch on it successfully. Only thing is, main speaker doesnt work. I know its functionnal, cause I had heard it from the initial vista install. Now, the headphones jack does work. And also, I use to own a very similiar but somewhat lower end model, the LG T1, which uses basically the same drivers and all, but the sound did work on that one.
Now what worries me a bit is that from time to time ill hear odd crackling sounds from the speaker. At one point, when I was trying to make XGL work with KDM, it did it to the point I thought my laptop was gonna explode.
Anyway, the fact that the speaker doesnt play sounds I can kinda live with, might just be a configuration issue; the crackling sounds howevevr, even though they rarely happen are like nothing ive ever heard or seen or whatever and they kinda worry me. ..
any ideas guys ?
(the best way I can describe it would be like what an "explosion" sound on an old nintendo or other 1980 game console sounded like.. like a broken up saw wave .. very odd)

again if it means anything, I had an LG T1 not so long ago with relatively the same hardware for audio and I don't recall kernel 2.6.22 causing any problems. Only booboo with that one was that pluggin in headphones did not shut off the "external" speaker.
Now, since then I have gotten this new S1 model because the T1 had an unresolvable LCD screen issue and I got screwed by the vendor and its long story but they sent me this much higher end model, and the sound doesnt work on that one - but I cant compare with previous kernels because none other have ever run on this one, and I cant compare also because its not the same machine.
But like I said, the T1 and S1 probably have very different main boards, but the sound "hardware" is supposed to be the same - and one the T1, Im pretty sure that 2.6.22 gave me the sound I wanted.
Guess ill try downgrading later see if it works ... right now im planning a move to 64 bits anyway, and am waiting for the newer ati fglrx with AIGLX support to be released to do so ..

No sound from speaker after upgrading?

I just upgraded my iBook Clamshell 466 SE Graphite with more memory and a new 60GB 7200 RPM Hitachi hardrive. I also upgraded from Panther to Tiger with a Black Retail DVD.
First, I installed the memory and then the following day, I installed the hardrive and OS.
After installing the hardrive myself (30+ steps with the ifixit.com instructions) and installing Tiger, I no longer have sound through the mono speaker although it was working perfectly before. It took me about an hour to carefully and meticulously disassemble and reassemble my laptop while removing tabs, screws, cables, etc. and being organized about it.
I'm not sure why I no longer have speaker sound but the headphone jack still works with sound. I double checked that the speaker cable was properly connected on both ends. I don't think it's a ciruit board issue since sound is still being delivered through the headphone jack.
Is there a way to run some sort of diagnosis as to my sound problem? How do I check my firmware version and is it possible that I need to update? I appreciate any help in advance...

I always try to leave the speaker cable connected to the logicboard (as well as the HD cable) during the installation of the new HD - simply remove the adhesive foil and let it slip through the hole in the EMI shield.
Otherwise you have to wrench at the cable to come out, and that might be the problem.
For testing purposes, try to connect a set of earphones with bare cable heads to the end of the cable or directly to the solder joints of the integrated speaker.

Have an iMac Early 2008 + Windows 7 and no sound from speaker out? SOLVED!!

Hello everyone,
So I'm pleased to say after over a month of trying to solve this annoying problem, it's been solved! Basically, if you have an iMac, Early 2008 edition (8,1) and Windows 7 and notice that the default microsoft driver gives very low sound and the new realtek drivers only give sound through the internal speakers... then this solution is for you!
What you'll need:
7-zip (www.7-zip.com)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Disc 1 (NOT Snow Leopard!)
Here's what you'll need to do, step by step:
1) Uninstall the Realtek Driver (latest version currently 2.37) by going to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall Programs.
2) Reboot. Upon reboot, the system will automatically reinstall the default Microsoft drivers. You can check this in Device Manager (control panel / system / device manager).
3) Insert the original Leopard Disc 1 that came with your iMac (very important, as this is the only driver I know for sure will work). Point windows explorer to the folder: D:\Boot Camp\Drivers (assuming d: is your cd-rom drive).
4) Copy the "RealTekSetup.exe" file somewhere on your desktop. Do NOT install it!
5) Decompress "RealTekSetup.exe" by right clicking the file and choosing "7-zip decompress". Again, you'll need to make sure you installed 7-zip from 7zip.com prior to doing this.
6) Go to your Device Manager again, right click the sound device (which should be something like High Definition Audio) and choose "Update Device Software".
7) Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and direct it to the folder that you extracted the drivers to.
8) You now have sound through your EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
This works because there is a bug that RealTek/Apple does not seem to want to fix where the newer version of the RealTek control panel detects the speaker out as line in and the line in as nothing! This forces drivers normally made for Vista or Vista64 to install on Windows 7, which work 100% great.
I promise you, if you have an Early 2008 iMac, this WILL fix your problem if you follow each step! Let me know if you have any questions!
Brad Levicoff

If you don't have any Leopard disk then just google for "Vista_R199.exe".
This driver works nice on Early 2008 IMAC. I also tried an earlier version, Vista_R182.exe but there sometimes was a horrible background noise which made listening to music impossible.
Just download and follow the instructions above in the first post.
Have fun.

Strange sounds from speaker...

I have been noticing when I play music, whether it's from my headphones or from the speaker, occasionally my music sounds like a radio station that is out of range, if you know what I mean. It's that mix of music and white noise put together, and it sounds like a radio station. It's not just the songs, it's whenever I type a message or lock the phone. It sounds like the speakers are blown, but they aren't because they are just fine after a few minutes. The sound is definitely not turned up all the way, and neither is the ringer. I have no idea why it is doing this. I've never heard it happen since before the update.

Have you tried the standard troubleshooting procedures such as powering your iPhone off and on and/or a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so?
If so with no change, the next step is restoring your iPhone with iTunes and be sure to sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before doing so to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
If no change after any or all, give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

No sound from speaker or headphones

Speaker or headphones on my phone work fantastically until I make or answer a phone call. I Did a hard restore thru itunes, worked fine, went to sleep got up in the morning and its stopped working ... again.
I've cleaned out the headphone jack, yet the headphones work fine when listening to ipod and I can hear the clicks from typing in a passcode or typing an email or SMS. I've removed and reinstalled the sim card. I've done multiple hard restore/restarts with the sleep and home button pressed until the apple logo appears. I've inserted the headphones ten plus times on many occasions. I've also removed and reinstalled itunes more times than I can remember. The result is sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, when it does the phone rings, which I hear, I answer and neither I nor the caller can hear anything ... again.
Anyone have any clues or ideas? this is becoming a little tiresome.
Everything else is still amazing.

Hi Anyone who might look at this chat,
Seems strange replying to myself, but hey.
Today for no apparent reason my phone started working again!
I had received calls early on, which again when I answered them, the same old familiar nothingness.
After 10 days or so of trying everything I can think of I was resigned to trekking up to the Apple store to vent my spleen, but before I set off I thought I'd just check there was an available slot at the genius bar. I was prompted to go through a series of questions checking the mute button etc. before I eventually had to put in my serial number.
It was acknowledged that my phone was registered but that I would have to pay for apple care, a one off payment or something else.
I was now quite annoyed.
I went through the motions of how I would show the genius how my phone didn't work, and what do you know it worked!?!
The thing is I had done this many times before and it didn't work, so I have no idea what was different.
I turned on ipod, chose a song, it started to play, and whilst still playing I called my voicemail, so as not to annoy a friend if it didn't work, it worked. I called my girlfriend, it worked. I called my voicemail again it's still working.
I sincerely hope this helps some of you out there as I know how utterly infuriating it is to have your iPhone reduced to an iPod touch with no logical explanation.
I will post again if the problems resume, but fingers crossed.

After reading the wiki, and looking at tihs I tried setting the model in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf to laptop, and to ideapad, but none of them worked. Is it only the matter of getting the model right, or is something else wrong?

I found that Auto-Mute Mode was enabled and my headphones where plugged in all the time, disableing it solved the problem.

No sound from speaker port with X-fi, but headphones and line out are f

After going through a lot of driver updating yesterday, I encountered several bad drivers and had to do a system restore a few times. However, after I did that my Sound Blaster X-fi card stopped putting sound out through the speakers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, updating the driver, reconnecting everything, running diagnostics, and looking at the system settings, but nothing works. Oddly enough, when it's either disabled or not used as my default playback device (apparently I also have a Realtek AC97), the speakers will play, but when I try using X-fi it doesn't. The odd thing is that the AC97 was one of the corrupt drivers (which I removed and returned to its original driver, don't know what the date was), but the X-fi didn't have any problems at all, but now it seems glitchy whenever I try to do anything with it, including trying to uninstall the drivers and looking it up in the System Information console. The Device Manager says I have the most recent driver for the X-fi right now, but even if I roll it back it still doesn't work. Can somebody please tell me what I should do, because this seems like a software issue to me. OS: Microsoft Windows XP Edition (Service Pack 2)System Model: Dell DXG05

EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM HERE!
I havent got another motherboard to test my x-fi xtreme music on, but it's a very frustrating problem, if i boot up from cold the soundcard is either not recognised or is recognised but there's no sound output.
My motherboard is ASUS P5E3 Pro,
Memory: 8GB OCZ DDR3 600
Cpu: x9650 extreme @ stock 3.0GHz
Psu: Coolermaster 850w modular
Gfx: HD 5770 (will be changing this to a HD4890 soon as it's rubbish)
Ive tried all sorts of combinations to try and get this soundcard working properly, stick of ram, etc... NOTHING WORKS AND IM ANNOYED!
Ive played about with just about every bios setting i can find (theres a lot on this board) and still no luck, i've got the latest bios flashed and everything is upto date, as a musician this problem is very irritating, having to reboot the computer about 3 times to get the sound working! even then theres problems with sound drop-outs.
Makes no difference if i use windowsXP or windows7 the problem still remains, i might ask asus to make a bios update for this problem because im not sure if creative have the answers.
