Qosmio X870 - Internal speaker don't work but headphones do.

I'm a little annoyed as this problem has seemed to have randomly occurred.
Making it difficult to pinpoint what caused this/finding a solution... :(
So after opening my laptop from sleep or hibernate, I can't remember which specifically and want to listen to some music, I notice there is none.
I plug in my earphones, and there is sound. Both times the sound mixer is indicating sound.
The speakers are the default device, green tick, and sound levels are picked up. "This device is working properly.".
I actually let windows automatically find a newer driver version, which it surprisingly did, downloaded and installed - restart laptop. Still no sound.
I read somewhere that it appears for some that the hibernation and or sleep mode on Toshiba laptops cause the audio drivers to behave strangely. But I don't now what kind of troubleshooting to do, to fix this.
Or it could be hardware related, regarding the port/jack. I don't know. I pray its software.
Please could someone help me and make me happy again
Nigel

Hi
>Or it could be hardware related, regarding the port/jack. I don't know. I pray its software.
I dont think its hardware related issue.
As I understood the issue: the speakers work properly if the notebook runs in normal mode.
The speakers dont work if the unit wake up from hibernation or sleep mode.
I meet such issue on my 2nd notebook. The speakers did not work but sound appeared using connected headphones. I could solve this by sound driver update.
But I think this isnt a universal solution.
From my point of few you should try different workarounds.
First of the notebook should be tested and checked using the Toshiba preinstalled system.
The image has been configured and tested by Toshiba and usually everything should work properly. Therefore i would recommend you to use the Recovery disk (or HDD recovery procedure) in order to set the notebook back to the factory settings.
The other workaround would be the uninstallation of the sound driver as well as other sound driver related parts.
In device manager go to the sound, video and game controller
Here uninstall/delete the
- Realtek sound driver
- nVidia High Definition Audio (if available)
- Intel high definition audio controller (if available)
After this short procedure reboot the notebook.
Now you will need to wait until the deleted devices were recognized and installed again.
After this process has been finished, check the sound availability.

  • IPhone 4S speakers don't work but headphones do

    I just purchased Bose headphones that work great with iPhone.  Now after several times of using them the speaker on the phone does not work.  The icon ringer does not say headphone mode but the phone seems stuck in headphone mode.  When I put the phone on a docking station the external speakers on the docking station work fine.  Any ideas how to get the speaker on the phone to work again?  I have tried sucking air on the jack hole, blowing air in the jack hole, unplugging the jack several times but no resolve.  any ideas?

    Hi,
    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

  • IPod Touch: Internal Speaker doesn't work

    Hi,
    My iPod Touch was replaced ~6 months ago bec. the internal speaker was bad. This new one, though, the internal speaker doesn't work at all (except for the Clock/Alarm tones). The vol. button says "Headphones" on screen when you change the volume, whether or not the Headphones are plugged in. I've tried turning off and other things I've seen but no clear answer. Is there a fix for this?

    Have you tried restoring it?
    Can be a Hardware problem, go to the nearest Apple Store and see if they can fix it

  • Ipad2 Inbuilt speaker not working, but headphone is working

    I am using iPad2 32 GB, 3G + Wifi. updated with iOS 5.
    It's in-built speaker is not working, but when I use headphone, sound it working on it.
    Please help.
    I checked mute button and checked doubling clicking the home button and going all way to the left.
    Still not working..
    pLease help !!
    Thanking you in advance

    You've double checked that you haven't got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.  Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If that isn't the case then have you tried a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for 10 to  p15 seconds until the Appe logo appears (it won't remove any content). Also when you use the volume switch does it show a heanhone symbol on the screen i.e. does it think than headphones are connected even when they aren't ?

  • IPad3 Speaker isn't working but the headphone is working fine.

    iPad3 Speaker isn't working but the headphone is working fine. I have resetted the all settings and restore to old backup also but it doesn't work.
    Let me know the steps to resolve the issue!

    Check System Preferences > Network > active connection > Proxies tab. Are there proxy servers enabled? If you aren't behind a proxy server (which you probably aren't), uncheck those boxes. (Firefox bypasses the OS's proxy settings, so it's not affected by those settings.)
    Hope this helps...

  • Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help

    Ok I have an fully upgraded iPad 2 and the volume button don't work but it do with headphones can someone help. I try to go to settings and the volume won't go up there either I have the home button gesture and still the same. I try resting my iPad and nothing no sound work unless I have my headphones in. Do anybody know how to fix this

    Did you try rebooting the iPad? You will need to have some battery power for this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My iPods internal speaker isn't working, the sound works with headphones but now without. I've turned it on and off several times and pulled the headphone out and put them back in but nothing seems to work, please help?!

    My sound usually works but just yesterday it totally just stopped. The sound is turned on full, the headphones are out, and I've tried turning it off then back on but it didn't help at all. It's an iPod touch 2nd generation, 8G.

    Try the following to rule out a software probleM
    - Reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPodIf you still have the problem you likely have a problem with the headphone jack in the iPod.  They can be replaced.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to identify/determine the cause.

  • Internal speakers don't work

    My husband uses the dual USB late 2001 iBook more than I do, mainly with Toast and a Griffin iMic to copy our old vinyl records to CDs, and to run VirtualPC for his PC model railroad design app. He does all this in OS 9.2.2.
    I used the iBook yesterday, and discovered that the internal speakers aren't working at all. (He hadn't noticed!) No startup chime, no alert beeps, nothing. The sound settings are not set to "mute". I rebooted in OS X (version 10.1, the original, which we've never upgraded), and it didn't make any difference. Still no sound.
    If we plug in a set of headphones or external speakers, they will work, playing the startup chime and all other sounds.
    It's never been taken apart, so it's unlikely that the speaker cables have been accidentally disconnected.
    So far, I've tried the following, none of which helped: trashing the Sound prefs in OS 9 and restarting; resetting the PRAM; starting in OS X and then restarting in Open Firmware, resetting the NVRAM and then resetting the PRAM again. I also tried the hint in This Post - restarting with the headphones connected and then disconnecting them. And I tried plugging the iMic into a USB port, and the headphones into the iMic, and restarting and then disconnecting. No use! The iBook Audio Update was already installed, so that's not it.
    We've compared the iBook's OS 9.2.2 Sound control panel with the one on a 7300 also running 9.2.2, and notice one interesting thing. When the iBook is freshly rebooted, the Sound > Speakers tab has the headphone icon present and highlighted, even when the headphones aren't connected. One can plug in the external speakers, and select the speakers icon, and they'll work. But it always defaults back to a highlighted headphone icon upon restart - even when the speakers are plugged in. The 7300's Speakers tab does not show any headphone icon at all, unless the headphones are actually connected. But this is only in OS 9. I don't see a comparable setting in the OS X System Prefs, where I can check on the speaker settings.
    It's as if the iBook's sound port thinks the headphones are connected, even when they're not. Could this be a hardware problem with the port, or some kind of logic board problem?
    My next step will probably be a reinstall of both OS's.
    Dorothy

    Ronda and Dave2,
    Thanks for responding.
    I'm beginning to think it has to be a hardware problem. It happens in both OS's, and when booting from the OS 9 install CD that came with the iBook - no startup chime at all. But the chime is there when either headphones or external speakers are hooked up.
    I did restart with Command-Option-O-F, got into Open Firmware, and followed the instructions for resetting the NVRAM.
    The OS X Sound preference pane has only two tabs: Alert and Output. Output shows only "Built-in audio controller", no matter what's plugged into the output port. (In OS 9, the Sound control panel has 4 tabs: Alert, Input, Output and Speakers.) So, in X there's no way to know what speakers the iBook thinks it's using.
    I haven't tried resetting the PMU; it didn't seem from the KB article on PMU reset that doing that would help this problem. (I'm cautious about fiddling with the PMU.) But, the battery is old, doesn't hold a charge very long, and we need to get a new one. We normally use the power adapter, anyway. So maybe a PMU reset would do something.
    I did ask my husband - an experimental physicist - if the speakers could have been damaged by too loud a sound when he was working with Toast, and he said the the sound circuitry should prevent that, unless there were a design flaw.
    On further thought, I probably won't bother reinstalling the systems - just wait until I get back to civilization next week and take it to an Apple Store. (The only authorized service center within 100 miles of this house is one CompUSA 50 miles away.)

  • Brand new ipod-touch internal speaker suddenly stopped working all-together? Please help!

    Just got my brand new, white Ipod- Touch and was surfing on youtube, watched a video and mid video the sound just vanished. now no sounds come from the internal speaker whatsoever, but headphones still work. I have tried restarting it as well as reseting, can anyone help me?! Thanks a lot!

    That sounds like a mechanical problem.  You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue.  If it does not, call Apple.  800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.
