Pavilion g7 sound buzzes (skips) randomly with internal or external speakers.

I have replaced the driver with no change. The buzz happens with CD's, music files on the hard drive and streaming music.

  • I have lost all audio on both my internal and external speakers.

    I have lost audio on both my internal and external speakers.  I have checked the System Preferences when my external speakers are plugged in it is acknowledged.  When using internal speakers they are also acknowledged.  Sound volume on Preferences is on and fully high.  The sound buttons on the keyboard  do not work and the sound level is now locked in at full sound and cannot be adjusted using the keys.  The System Preferences shows that Mute is now checked and I cannot uncheck it.  What should I do to get my sound back both internally and externally?

    Repair permissions & restart.

    Repairing the mysteriously muted Mac
    The background on the issue is that there’s a small sensor switch inside the headphone port. When you insert a headphone jack, the sensor understands what's what and changes the sound output setting to Headphones. If you insert a jack for digital audio output, the device changes to Digital Out. When you remove the jack completely, it should read Internal Speakers.
    The spirits tell me that there’s a very good chance that you recently had something jacked into this port—a set of headphones or a cable leading to powered speakers, for example. When you removed the jack, something in the port prevented the sensor from tripping correctly. That’s why you see Digital Out instead of internal Speakers.
    The solution is to force the sensor to do its job. The safest way to do that is to simply run a jack in and out of the port a few times. Much of the time, this takes care of the problem by correctly tripping the sensor. If that doesn’t work, there may be gunk in the port. Before turning to more invasive techniques, get a can of compressed air, attach the small tube that fits the nozzle, and blast a few shots of air into the port. With any luck, that should dislodge the gunk and the port will operate as it should.
    If that doesn’t work, find a foam-tipped swab that fits (electronics shops generally carry them), dip it in rubbing alcohol, and gently insert it into the headphone port in an attempt to wipe away any stubborn gunk. I recommend foam rather than cotton swabs because the cotton variety might leave threads behind. (This same technique works well with misbehaving headphone ports on devices such as iOS devices.)
    It's possible that gunk has nothing to do with it. Rather, it may be that the switch just needs a subtle nudge. If a jack or swab doesn't work, I've heard of people successfully resetting it with a deft poke of a toothpick.

  • Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

  • No sound from internal or external speakers

    Imac 27" mid-2011 running Maverics 10.9.3  I'm not getting any sound from internal or ext. speakers.  I can hear the startup sound when booting up.
    System Preferences->Sound only shows Digital Out for OUTPUT and Output Volume is maxed and can't be adjusted.  Mute is NOT checked.
    I've done an SMC and PRAM reset with no change.  I've tried multiple times plugging and unplugging the external speaker cable jack.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome.

    Hey krawfo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Looks like you are not getting sound from your speakers. I see you have tried different things to try and resolve this. This article is a good resource for this issue.

  • Cannot get internal speakers to work. Only works with headphones or external speakers?????

    All of a sudden my MacBook Pro internal speakers are not working. The status bar at the top of the screen shows everything bold and in black print but now the speaker volume symbol shows just the gray color and will not allow me to adjust the volume. However, when I plug in headphones or external speakers the symbol becomes bold and black the way it should and everything works just fine??? How do I correct this?

    Go step by step and test.
    1.Plug in and  remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    2. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14222
        Do this twice
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:     "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    Best.

  • Mobo won't work with internal or external isdn

    2 of my buddy's bought themself 875P FISR mobo's, after i highly recomended it to them.  
    the mobo's run great except for this one major bug on it
    you cant connect a isdn modem to it.
    we've tested 2 isdn modems(pci internal & usb external) on both mobo's and they both do the same thing --> crash on isdn installation gives out some weird message irq not less or equal??????
    both of these mobo's have the latest bios's installed on them(3.2) and we've tried clearing the NV ram/rom or something like that and that didn't seem to work + reinstalling winXP pro
    Is this a known issue or is this a new prob.
    their system specs:
    both antec true 550 watt psu's
    both 3Ghz CPU's with HT
    both 1Gig Transcend Ram
    both MSI 875P FISR Mobo
    pc 1.    
       runs sata raid0 with 2 X 120gig drives(very fast)
       transcend radeon 9600 XT
       standard cooling.
       onBoard sound
    pc 2.

    Pleaze help.

    irq not less or equal
    There is a lot of documentation for that same error all over the web I was having the same trouble a while back with no relation to isdn at all. I was never able to pin it down. It was fixed with a reinstall.
    You might want to do a 'google' on that error message and do a search on it at MS site too. Maybe with isdn in the search string too.
    Make sure you have all your drivers for the motherboard updated, chipset etc...
    As well as the driver for the modem itself. ISDN being a technology that is somewhat on the way out the door is receiving less and less support from the Manufacturers. Are your Modem drivers for XP specifically ? There is a good chance that a Win9.x driver would not work properly.
    I had ISDN for a couple years. It was better than regular dialup but overall it was a major pain in the arse. Partially becuase the modem I had was a junkie one. It plugged up to serial. Thereby limiting my max speed to 115 instead of the possible 128.  It was very sensitive to port settings and the like. Was too dadgummed expensive too.
    Good Luck, Hope I helped a lil.

  • Can you have sound coming out from both internal speaker and speakers connected to the iMac?

    I have a pair of KRK Rokit 5 speakers connected to the headphones jack at the back of the iMac.
    I use these for playing good quality sound when I need to record on Garageband.
    However they are mains powered and have a switch at the back which is difficult to always turn due to the position of the speakers. At the same time I don't want to have the speakers turned on all the time.
    Is there a way to enable the Mac to play sound through its onboard speaker without disconnecting the speakers' cable?
    Thsi should be possible, becasue whenever I restart the Mac I can hear it s start up jingle clearly coming out from its onboard speaker, even when the external speakers are plugged in.
    Thanks

    Unfortunately the iMac is not designed to offer that setup capability.  If you go into your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">here you will find that you can select the device that the iMac's sound output is sent thru (see below)>you will find that you can only select "one" device at a time to receive the audio signal, not multiple devices at once.  The "startup chimes" are separate from the normal audio output and Always come from the internal speakers.

  • How to get internal and external speakers playing together?

    Hey everyone, I just bought the HP ENVY dv7 with beats audio and I love it!  I only have one question that I couldn't seem to get answered anywhere else so I turned to here. Is there a way I can have the compuer's internal speakers (beats audio) and my home stereo speakers (external) playing at the same time? I love how good the beats sound but I also want the surround sound given by the external speakers. So is there a setting I can switch it to so it'll play both? I've tried looking but couldn't find it. Or is there some program/driver like thing I need to download off the interwebs so it'll play both? Thanks in advanced. 

    Hello Branman,
    I understand you want to play your surround sound system while also being able to hear your internal laptop speakers, is that correct? I will be happy to help you.
    Unfortunately that will not work, by design whenever you plug in a surround sound system or just a standard set of headphones the system automatically disables the internal speakers. I was not able to come across any legit online software that you can download to make that a possible transition.
    Thanks

  • MacBook Pro internal and external speakers not responding

    For the last 3-4 weeks, I've had odd bouts of incidents where the speakers (internal) stop responding at all.  I have a set of external speakers that are normally plugged into the computer, but they have also stopped producing sound.  Is there any way to troubleshoot this to determine the source of the problem.  (PS:  NOTHING works.  Even Skype contacts, iTunes playback, notification sounds -- everything is out.)

    Bad really, coz if you could see a red light it would be much easier to solve.  The red light would indicate it was operating as a toslink (digital audio) connector and the switch that changes it from analog to digital audio was stuck.  It can be unstuck by wiggling a toothpick or cocktail stick in the socket.  It means it's much harder to diagnose what your problem is.
    Suggest as a first stage that you attempt a PRAM reset followed by a SMC reset if still not working, then report back here.

  • I can't hear iTunes music or internet radio but internal and external speakers are definitely working. Is there a key stroke I have set or some other, maybe Yosemite, issue?

    I have checked my internal speakers on an iMac and also the external speakers - all working. When play music in iTunes the sound bar moves but no sound is heard.  Same problem if I want to listen to the radio via internet.  Has anyone a suggestion.  Is it a Yosemite issue - I have had others involving printers. thanks

    like davis says then even though I have connected headset and external speakers to my imac then at boot up the boot sound comes out of the imac speaker
    but once booted into OS X all audio is played out of the headset and ext speakers and the imac speakers are silent as the grave

  • Enabling internal when external speakers plugged in

    is there a way to enable the internal speakers when i have external speakers plugged in on my 24" iMac??
    i want this cause i use a Bose Cinemate® speaker system and it powers off after inactivity/no sound ... so then I don't hear alarms etc ...
    btw i've asked Bose and they say there's no way to disable their power off timeout ;-()
    TIA

    Hello mate
    I have a similar headache wanting to connect bluetooth speakers as well as plugged in speakers to play itunes in 2 rooms at the same time...nigh on impossible and is still a nightmare- however a solution that may work for you is this..http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18611 - its a piece of audio software called audio highjacker that allows you to play external and internal speakers at the same time. It wont work for me due to the latency or delay to my bluetooth - it plays the same tune a second or out of sync - so in one room they are just into the chorus while the other room they are still on the verse!!
    Anyway download Audio highjacker and go to itunes (or whatever audio you want to highjack) open audio jack and click the application in its menu window. make sure source type is 'application' and mute is off - then click highjack - then 'click here to insert effect' choose 4fx and then auxillary device output - this will bring up a menu where you can choose what you want playing thru the other speakers or internal - this is from memory so apologies if its a little inaccurate - but this will play internal and external speaker at the same time - although not perfectly sychronised
    hope this helps
    cheers
    Mike

  • Can u have internal AND external speakers on???

    Can both the internal speakers and some of my external speakers be on at the same time??

    Allan,
    No, unfortunately you cannot. Having external speakers plugged into the optical/analog output port automatically mutes the internal speakers.

  • High pitched sound - something to do with internal microphone ??

    Suddenly my Powerbook has started emitting a high pitched sound through its speakers. You know one of those high frequency ear-blowing sounds when a PA system is being set up and the mic is getting tested and the amp's turned up too loud?
    I'm not sure exactly what I was doing when it started, but I think I was making or receiving a telephony call via iChat. During or just after the connection process (which didn't work for some reason but that could've been a problem at the other end), this high pitched squeal started. I can get rid of it by turning down the output volume - the squeal disappears but that of course turns all other output sound down as well. The sound disappears when the volume is turned down about half way.
    But...even if the sound is turned down half way, if I put my hand over the left speaker, the sound comes back. No sound comes back if I place hand over right speaker. I assume then that the inbuilt microphone is under the left speaker area, and this has something to do with the inbuilt mic.
    The only other thing that's happened in recent times is that I used this Powerbook's audio line-in port to record some sound from an audio casette recently. I used Audio Recorder 2.0 for this. I can't imagine this has been the cause, but thought I'd better mention it. If I go into the Sound Preference panel, I can stop the squeal by changing the sound input device from internal microphone to Line In.
    Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening and how iit can be fixed?
    Many thanks, Steven

    Hey, great suggestion Burn. It prompted me to look at iChat preferences, since that was the only application that I've had open which might engage the internal microphone.
    Within iChat Preferences, I clicked on the 'Video' icon, and for the 'Microphone' setting I saw that 'None selected' (or something like that - that option has gone now?) was in place. So I changed the setting to Internal Microphone. The whistle or screech was still there. Then I changed the setting to 'Line In'. No more screech!!
    A good result, but is this the way it's supposed to be? Does having the setting as 'Line In' mean that I have to plug headphones in whenever I want to use iChat for internet telephony? Unless I manually change to Internal Microphone, but then I suffer screeching again?
    Cheers, Steven

  • Sound problem - internal or external speakers

    I have a mini and a USB hub (Belkin) with a USB headset (Plantronics) connected to it, and then a display (FujitsuSiemens) with speakers connected to the sound port on the mini.
    My problem is that some applications (Safari, RealPLayer, MS Remote Desktop) favors the headset for sound out, others (iTunes, Mail, well most apps actually) chooses the speakers in the display which I'm very pleased with.
    System Preferences states sound out in the internal speakers, but obviosly it doesn't really work with som apps so my question is: why, why, why Mr Anderson...
    Is it some plist that has gone heywire or do I need to reset some weird PRAM or what ever...

    You may need to reset PRAM/NVRAM.
    First, check that the jack is clean. Put some alcohol on a plug and insert it a few times. See if that helps.
    is your output both digital and analog? If digital, is the red laser light visible in the socket? Do not look directly into the socket when checking.
    If all else fails try a PRAM reset:
    Reset your computer’s PRAM
    A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    DO NOT HOLD These keys beyond the second startup sound!
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
