No speaker or headphones detected on HP Pavilion g6 Notebook

Hi, I've been troubleshooting this issue for the last hour, and have yet to solve it using other similar audio posts and such.
My speakers were working just fine two days ago, however after doing important Microsoft Updates, my speakers are no longer detected, neither are any other playback devices. I've tried reinstalling drivers, i've tried restarting my laptop, and still nothing. What else could it be? If it could be cables, how might I go about fixing that?
Thank you.

  • No sound from headphone/speaker HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC

    my HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC sound stopped working  about 4 weeks ago. normally i would go onto troubleshooting and just change to audio to default with my headset on and it would work but today sound stopped working. before this started I had deleted a ton of photos and a few things I thought we're not important but may have been. anyways so i deleted everything in my recycling bin, i do it once a month and must have deleted somthing important. halp?

    Hi @Chaithra ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I understand from your post that you have sound in the right speaker but not the left.The two main reasons for this would be that the speaker has failed or your system is configured incorrectly.
    Have you ran the HP Support Assistant  to aid with HP updates and fixing issues?
    Have you tried running  MS Fix It to help with difficulties?
    Have you tried Using automated troubleshooting (Windows 8)?
    Here is a link to No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7) that will guide you though testing and configuring the speakers.
    Here is a link to the HP G4 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. Please note on page 30 or chapter 3 page 22 item 8  for a part number for a replacement speaker should it be required.

  • No sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

    no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us.  Speakers are not muted and volume is up.  May have happened after a system update

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

  • Headphone Detection on xfi gamer not work

    When I plug my headphones into the wired remote, all speaker sounds cut off even though the settings are unchecked on the Headphone Detection options.
    The "automatically enable headphone settings" box never works whether checked or unchecked,
    and the "automatically mute speakers" box always mutes speakers whether checked or unchecked.
    How do I get these setting to work properly?
    I want to be able to plug my headphones in, but still have sound coming out of the speakers? I have a 7. speaker system, XP pro sp2, and an xfi gamer. The wired remote is cheaply made and started only giving right channel sound after month of use. I had the entire 7. system replaced with all new parts, and don't want the cheap wired remote to break again, so I want to plug an extension cable to the wired remote, and then jack my headphones into the extension cable when I need them, so I need the speakers to not mute when the extension cord is plugged into the wired remote.

    those option are meant for use for those ppl soundcard that have those external/internal I/O console. it's not meant to work for your speaker volume remote.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Wifi not detected on my HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC

    Product name :HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PCProduct no.: D4B10PA#ACJOperating system: Windows 8.1 64-bit version Hi,My PC does not detect my wireless connection.  All other deviced like my iphone, ipad etc do, so I know that the router is fine.also, I can see other networks near my vicinity but for some reason MY home network is not detected by my PC!My OS is up to date, so is my wireless adapter. I am using this forum by connecting to the internet by LAN cable. Please Please Please help me! Thanks,MS 

    Hi ,  Thank you for your query.   I grasp that your notebook does not find your network but does find others.  Your wireless drivers are up to date  as well as your OS. First what frequency is your network set to.  If you have it set on 5.0 GHz  please try changing it to either mixed mode or 2.4 GHz as that is the one the notebook works best on. Can you connect to a different network or hotspot? Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter? Have you ran the  HP Support Assistant ?
     Here is a link to HP PCs - Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8)that will provide more steps to try.   To show appreciation for my replying please click the thumbs up icon below.If this resolved your issue, please tell people by choosing solution provided.   Best of Luck!

  • Speaker and headphones stop working on mac book pro?

    Why does my speaker and headphones randomly stop working on my mac book pro? It wont work again until I restart my computer.

    What model identifier is your MacBook Pro? To see this, hold the Option key and choose "System Information" from the Apple menu, and then click "Hardware" (this should be selected by defualt) followed by noting the Model Identifier which should be something like "MacBookPro6,2."
    Does the system properly wake from sleep if you boot it to Safe Mode (hold the Shift key at startup to do this)?

  • 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.

  • I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! Is anyone else having this problem?

    I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! I wouldn't dare to update my iphone. Is anyone else having this problem? Can't seem to find any fixes online?

    A reset should fix it:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • My new iPhone 4S has hearing problem.speaker and headphone works very good.However using handset to make and receive calls I cannot hear anything?I did restore the phone and removed the plastic.Is there any solution to this problem please?

    I am having heraing problem with iPhone 4S.Speaker and headphone works well.No echo.When I use handset to receive or make calls,I can't hear anything?I restore the phone and removed the plastic as well.Is there anyway to fix this problem?

    I personally haven't experienced much of the "reverberation/feedback" when using a headset on the i4S...
    Yes, I have near-perfect hearing too (for scope, squeaky brakes hurt my ears) I come from many conversations on many phones and types and first off, CDMA technology is great for coverage, terrible for voice quality. HD Voice in Europe made for some of the best phone conversations I've ever had.
    Back on track, feedback is most noticable (similar to the landline phone) when using the iPhone without a headset, but for me it's not an absolute criticality mainly because I use VoIP apps alot, so maybe it has desensitized me some over the past year.
    But whenever I'm on a call, and the other person has me on speakerphone, I have alot of trouble talking because of the feedback loop caused. So the less of my voice I hear the better I can talk.
    Have you tried a bluetooth headset yet?
