Hi there @rsimpossible
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are no longer getting sound on your notebook.
As a start here is the audio driver for your notebook for both Windows 8 and 8.1.
IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
After installing the driver, then if you are still having trouble try the following:
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8)
Resolving headphones and headset problems (Windows 8)

Hp pavilion g6-2231dx no speaker or headphones plugged in error

Since update to windows 8.1 the sound and audio has stopped working. Voice recognition has stopped and the speaker on the bottom tray has an X. The response on the X on the speakers indicates "No speakers or headphones are plugged in." When I plug in the headphones and USB speakers, but the problem is not resolved. Downloaded the current audio software, which still does not resolve the issue. Short of pulling the plastic off and checking for loose wires, is there a solution???

Hi:
it is probably the driver if the audio was working fine prior to installing W8.1
See if this W8.1 audio driver works...

ANSWERED Pulseaudio doesn't recognize speaker until headphones plugged

Hi, first time poster here. Having this strange problem where, upon boot, my laptop can't play audio through the speakers until something is plugged into the headphones jack, and it then immediately recognizes the speakers. By default it always tries to play through the HDMI port; it there a way to change that? But that is secondary to actually figuring out what is going on here. I use pavucontrol to manage what is played where audiowise, and before plugging in headphones, the speakers are not listed anywhere in the program, but as soon as i plug something into the audio jack, speakers are found, and I can play through them immediately. This is very strange I think.
Everything is pretty much up to date on this system, and I'm running pulseaudio version 6.0 if that helps. Can add any information required.
Has anyone had this happen to them / know what is going on here? I would very much appreciate any help.
EDIT: nevermind, figured it out. Well, I edited the default.pa file and it fixed it, though I still don't understand why.

Well that is the problem, When I use pulseaudio (I just reinstalled it) It ignores the analog audio port completely and doesn't list it anywhere.

Sounds still plays through speaker with headphones plugged in

I've recently been having problems with my sounds. I would plug headphones into one of headphone jacks on my HP dv6tse laptop and i would hear sounds through my headphones as well as my speakers. So basically I'm getting sounds from my headphones as well as my speakers at the same time when only my headphones should be getting the sound. Is this a hardware problem or some kind of settings problem? Please help!

same issue, i have a hp pavilion dv6 6169sl

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Speaker wouldn't mute when headphone plugged in

I've search the forum for this problem and found several solutions but none if them work.
This is my problem...
One day the building I've stayed been struck by lighting and my laptop suddenly shutdown. When I turned it back on the problem occurs. My laptop speaker wouldn't mute when the headphone plugged in. I've try reinstall the driver and plugged in a new headphone still wouldn't mute and the sound from headphone only from one side. Is this hardware problem and can it be fix or this problem can be solve just by tweaking?
My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ45 107AU

Hello ricky_waldron,
Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
Here is a link to the updates.
Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode, I can't hear anything nor can anyone hear me! Help. Please.

On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

Hello Angela,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone. I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

Speaker/Front Headphone audio fail

Apparently a couple of people have had this issue, I am starting to doubt selecting an HP as my laptop carrier.
I have according to HP Support Assistant: dv6 Notebook, Product number XG868UA#ABA
I play various games and media with my laptop, but for some reason when I have headphones plugged into the 3.5mm speaker jack, sound continues to emminate from the laptop speakers and not through the headphones. I checked the phones by plugging a 3.5mm male to male cable to my car audio; though my droid x plays pandor through it normally. My laptop still continues to prefer to use its own speakers.
For now I will tollerate this, but if I can not find a solution within a month I will either return/sell this and go with dell for my future laptop needs.

Please update the BIOS to the latest version from THIS link, and also update the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver and this should resolve the problem for you.
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

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.

Audio playback through iPhone 4S speaker & attached headphones

Hi!
I might have a problem and I definitely need help, please!
When I first got my iPhone 4S, I remember seeing an option... I was able to switch between the earphones and the speaker while listening to music (while headphones still attached, of course) and this was amazing since I listen to music all day but I don't want to keep attaching/removing the headphones over and over again. I remember playing with my iPhone and seeing an option to turn this amazing feature off (I did this while playing with multitasking), and I remember that I did change it to "earphones" or something, just out of curiosity, thinking that I could always change the settings to the way it was but now, I can't get it back!
I've read manuals, guides, reviews and I've only found information about this feature but no information about how to actually do it (again)
This has nothing to do with AirPlay, Bluetooth and/or Wireless speakers (nor Siri and Voice Control, I think)
So, I was able to switch between earphones and speakers while my earphones still attached but now that on-screen option is gone, I don't see that anymore. It was something similar to this, actually...

Well, I called the Apple support line and explained the whole thing but since I used the image as an example and I mentioned speakers, the guy helping me focused on wifi speakers and didn't really understand my problem; he thought it was something else.
Since then I've done some research and I've even reseted my iPhone twice but still not able to make it work again. I am not lying and I am not crazy (well, that's a different topic ) ... I remember seeing an image just like the one I linked on this post. This whole thing happened on a 64 GB iPhone 4S... no jailbreak or whatever, I don't even understand that thing so, yes, brand new, 100% original iPhone, untouched
Ok, so... I was listening to music, I had the headphones plugged in and I remember pressing a small square-like button, then 2 options showed on-screen; headphones and speaker, and I was able to select one and then go back to the other, switch between both headphones and the built-in speaker, while the headphones were still plugged in, of course.
The problem presented when I double clicked the home button (while multitasking) and then selected an option (right where the volume controls are located) and it was something like "always use headphone", "always use speaker" or something similar and then I selected headphones while I was playing music via the speaker and that was it, I haven't been able to "swap" since I changed that... so yes, I know it was possible because I've done it
Honestly, I am starting to think that my iPhone was not 100% configured or something and that's why I was able to do so.... and then pressed something by mistake which "corrected" that malfunction.
Anyway, thank you for the help Josephack, I appreciate it!

Can you make a 5s ring over speakers with headphones plugged in?

Hi,
Does anyone know how you can make an iPhone 5s (on iOS7.0.4) ring over the external speakers when you have the headphones plugged in? Can't find any options to make the phone that.
Reason being, I leave my headphone plugged in most of the day since do a lot of calls but if the headphones stay plugged (and they are not always in myear) then I miss calls and SMSs cause it doesn't ring.
Any thoughts?
Bob

Hi,
I assume you are talking about the side switch, which is not set to silent. And the "Vibrate on Ring" is off too, under Settings | Sound. Unless thee is another silent setting I am overlooking. It has never rang through the speaker... just rings in the headphone.
