Rear left sound coming out of front left and ri

Sound that should be coming out of the rear left speaker is being divided by the front 2 speakers. Anyone know whats going on? i'v tried reinstall windows vista, reinstalling the sound card, made it sure its not the speakers. So i have no idea whats going on.

Hi @ellencat 
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are getting sound both from your speakers and the headphones when the headphones/earplugs are plugged in.
A fix to try is, to go into the Control panel
then Hardware and Sound
then click on Sound and select the Recording tab
Select your microphone/headset as the default device, and press OK.
Also you can look at this page from answers.microsoft.com, as if offers a few more suggestions.
How prevent sound from playing through both headphones and speakers

  • Sticky This : Surround Sound coming out of front speakers and Subwoofer not work

    The problem with Creative forum moderators and the like is that they have used their products so often that they forget the basic really simplistic things and as a result have a lot of frustrated customers (As indicated by the number of?problem posts?when this really need not be the case)?After building myself a media center with Windows XP (Yes the best DVD backup software is made for XP) my?X-Fi card Surround, Centre and Front Speakers were all mapped together for sound. After searching through the forums at many unanswered posts with similar problems I eventually came across the answer a few months back after a few days of reading this forums posts. The problem arises because of the Windows default settings which need to be changed when insatalling the sound card. Which I believe a good driver should be doing anyway. This is the menu path:StartControl PanelSounds and Audio DevicesAudioAdvancedPerformanceHardware Acceleration slide indicator should be on Full, then Apply?At this stage I got all the Speakers to work independently except the Subwoofer?I am not one to sit and study a user manual comprehensi'vely before attempting installation. I normally look for any serious warnings or precautions adhere to them and then slap the thing in and usually everything just happens in the correct sequence or that is how it should be with a new piece of hardware anyway. I use the manual more for problem solving. Anyways my point is that I have not read the manual in depth yet but all must be aware that you need?4-part jacks to get the most out of your?X-Fi sound card. The extra?points are required?in the Center/Subwoofer and Rear Speaker jacks because the extra connections within these jacks are used for SPDIF out on the Center/Subwoofer Jack and Side speakers for your 7. system on the rear speaker jack. (I dunno why they don't just put in 2 extra jacks that are the normal 3-part jacks .....or perhaps it's a way to force you to buy creative speakers which come with very rare?4-part jacks)?The subwoofwer can only be made to work if you pull out the 3-part jack just enough to make the correct contact with the card that gives you subwoofer signal.

    @tryignan ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum.  I have one question have you tried doing a system restore back to before this problem started.  Something has updated or changed in the drivers or Operating system to cause this.
    Have you removed both audio drivers and just ran with the AMD audio driver.
    Now did you try this when you removed your drivers.  Try booting into safemode and remove the two audio drivers. 
    Download your software and drivers for your system and save to dvd or usb memory stick.
    Run the Recovery manager to restore software and drivers to factory spec.
    Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8)
    Now if that fails try doing the full Windows 8 recovery.
    Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8)
    Please post back and let me know if this was of any help.
    Thank you again for posting and have a great day and a happy new year.

  • Since I updated my iPhone on iOS 5, the sound coming out of the speakers and the headphones has gotten worse. Any idea how I can resolve this problem?

    I don't know what happened to it. I just updated it and now, the sound comes out tinny and overdriven. My setting were just as before, but the sound has become very crappy.
    Any solutions?

    You're pressed the volume switch top right side to go up ??
    If that doesn't help ...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then try sound.

  • Weird sound coming out of x61 when on battery

    Hi all,
    I need advise, when my x61 is on battery only , there are werid sounds coming out but when its on battery and power or just power , the sound disappear.
    I try changing to another battery, the same thing happen..
    I really need help.
    Thanks.

    I also have a terrible sound coming out of the left side of my computer when on high performance battery power. (I started a thread... however no responses)
    I sent it in, they replaced motherboard and hdd, now I sent it back to get the fan replaced.
    I guess my biggest question is, what will Lenovo do to fix this? (assuming the fan doesn't fix the noise problem)

    Hi
    It's likely your fan,  It always runs on a MBA.  Mine is very quiet, others report some noise - here is one link.  There are lots of others.
    Hope this helps

  • Every time I scroll, there's a clicking sound coming from the top left corner of my macbook

    Similar to the clicking sound of my hard drive, every time I scroll, or whenever there is any sort of animation on my screen, there's a similar clicking sound coming from the top left corner on my , around the area where the microphone is. I know the hard drive is at the bottom right corner, so is this a graphics card issue or am I overlooking the issue?

    It is better to take the MBP to the Apple store for evaluation.
    They have the diagnostic tools to make sure that there is no problem with the computer.

  • Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

    I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
    Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
    Console Launchers does not load on boot
    Any asistance will be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

    Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
    That can be found here.......

  • I just purchased a 6  and there is a static sound coming out of the speaker when it is idle. I have the sound on low and turned off and it still makes the static sound.

    I just purchased a 128 Gig iPhone 6+. When I have the sound off and volume as low as possible, I get a static sound coming out of the speakers. It is distracting and annoying when I am in meetings, etc. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

    Couple of things you can try but it looks like you may have to take it in
    1. Settings --> Cellular --> Change "Enable LTE" to just "Data" if available
    2. Toggle your ringer off and on
    3. Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> Toggle Noise reduction off and on
    If none of the above works - consider taking it to Apple
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • Little parasite noise sound coming out of the Ipod when charging

    When the Ipod is plugged to the wall charger, there's a little parasite sound coming out. It's barely audible but I wonder if it's normal?

    This is a normal sound when charging the iPod, in fact almost all electronics give off a faint buzzing sound when charging. It is nothing to worry about, and will not affect you're iPod in any way.

  • Is there any app or something, that can do that, you can stream any sound coming out of your mac to your airport express?

    Is there any app or something, that can do that, you can stream any sound coming out of your mac to your airport express?

    Yes, he would have to have jailbroken your phone to install malware. If you see an app called "Cydia", that would indicate conclusively that it was jailbroken. I would recommend restoring the phone as new using iTunes. It is your best shot at removing a jailbreak.
    You should also change your network password, your email password and your FB password as well as passwords to anything else you've used from the phone. Put a lock code on the phone.
    Your best defense against this sort of thing is to NOT give your phone to people you don't trust.

    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.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and with any pair of earphones that I plug in the sounds comes out of the speakers and not the earphones

    I have an iPhone 5 and with any pair of earphones that I plug in the sounds comes out of the speakers and not the earphones
    The problem occurred a few days after I had updated to iOS 7.02

    Hey Tahls23!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    No sound through stereo headset
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

    Ipod touch 4g - sound comes out one earphone loud and the other softly. I've tried other headphones with same result. is there a fix for this ?

    Clean out/blow out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the heaphone 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a bad headphone jack
