Satellite L650 - Speakers suddenly stop working

Suddenly my laptop speakers stop working. Volume was 60 % not too loud.
All drivers are ok and updated and laptop purchased 1 month ago new

Hi buddy,
Can you notice the same behaviour if you connect external speakers or headphones? Maybe its just a wrong sound setting and with external devices you can test this.
Have also a look on Windows sound settings. You can change the balance between right and left speaker.
If its really a hardware malfunction you can contact an authorized service provider. The guys will repair your notebook under warranty (free).

Speakers suddenly stopped working

my sounds suddenly stopped working. After talking to a couple of knowledgeable people, I uninstalled the Realteck audio driver, and then I had decent sound coming through the speakers ! This is for an HP desktop, a6750y
So then I tried to re-install the driver. Although the driver had the same file name, it was newer than the one previously on the system, so I re-installed it, and once again, no sound. So I uninstalled this version, but now I have no sound !!!!
I do get sound through the headphones.
here's what I installed, but it's not working.
This question was solved.

William, welcome to the forum.
Have you checked in "Control Panel / Sound" to assure that your sound device is selected as the default? I have had this happen to me many times over the years; especially, if I have made changes of any kind to my computer.

External speakers suddenly stop working

My 13" aluminum MacBook's internal speakers are working fine. External speakers and headphones were also working fine until yesterday. Now, external speakers do not work with my MacBook at all, and with headphones I get a very muddled, echoy sound. This happened overnight - my laptop was just sitting, not plugged in, on my desk. I've tried restarting and resetting the NVRAM - no help.
I have a 13" Aluminum Unibody MacBook running OSX 10.7.5.
Please help!

>I had a quick look this morning and sure enough, a YouTube clip was playing, but no sound.
This happened to me too using an Tecra A11 unit.
The Youtube clip had no sound but if I plugged and re-plugged the headphone jack, the sound appeared again.
I thought this was a problem with headphone jack but I wanted to check if this issue could be solved by driver reinstallation.
Firstly I uninstalled the Realtek sound driver from the system. Then I entered the device manager and deleted the High definition Audio Controller from the System Devices area.
In Audio , video and games controller I deleted the Intel display audio entry.
Finally I rebooted the system.
After new reboot the Windows recognized the deleted devices. I checked the playback tab in control panel -> sound and found new device Headphones which was not visible before.
Then I started Youtube and checked the sound. It was available. Then I installed the newest version of Realtek HD audio driver and rebooted the unit.
The sound was still there
So hopefully it was just and driver issue

Bose speakers suddenly stop working

It's been working since I connect the speaker almost for a year I accidentally pull it out when I was taking out my usb cable when I plug it in the speakers are not working anymore.

Perhaps you accidentally plugged it back into the Audio Input instead of the Output Port?

Help - speakers suddenly stopped working

Hi,
I was playing a CD in iTunes today, at first I was listening with the internal speakers, then plugged in some external speakers (I did not stop the CD playing), and powered them on. When the CD came to the end I unplugged the external speakers. Since then I've not been getting any sound from my eMac's (800MHz w/ superdrive, OS 10.2.8) internal speakers - they've always worked well up until now. Sound is coming through fine on headphones and the external speakers.
I noticed that I had not switched off the power to the external speakers before I unplugged them, could this have caused some problem?
I've checked the sound preferences for 'Output' and it says 'Built-in Audio Controller' - there's no other option when headphones/external speakers are unplugged.
I've restarted the machine - just in case - but no joy.
Could this be a driver or firmware (or whatever it's called) problem? It seems strange that both left and right have gone at the same time, and that there's no noise/hiss coming from them, just silence.
Any help would be most welcome.
Cheers,
Tracy

Well, I still don't know what the problem was, but when I switched the eMac on today the internal speakers are working again.
If anyone does know a reason, I would be interested to know in case its something I need to fix now, rather than leaving it to fester.
Cheers, Tracy

Speakers suddenly stop working. Icon greyed out?!

Hi all.
I started my laptop this morning to find that the speakers don't appear to be working. For no reason whatsoever. They were working last night. And now they're not.
I press the volume up, down and mute buttons and it does nothing. The 'overlay' comes onto the screen showing like it has max volume, but with a circle/cross underneath (imagine a no smoking sign).
In the top menu bar, the sound icon is there but it's greyed out so I can't do anything.
Anybody help me please?!?

the same thing happened to me. I closed my laptop to take it upstairs to work some more and when I opened back up the sound icon was greyed out. I tried plugging in speakers and a headset and they work fine. I think that it is probably the logic board but I read here : http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2244270 that it could just be the internal switch. I have a late 2008 model and the post seemed to mention models of that date. Let me know if you figure this out.

Satellite A30 keyboard suddenly stopped working - how to remove and replace?

Hi all, n00b to laptops and first post. Ok, I usually build and repair desktops, so much easier to gain aceess!!
My daughter switched on her A30 laptop last night and only 2 keys worked. Tried rebooting and getting into BIOS but couldnt. Tried getting it to boot into safe mode, only the up and down arrow working so could not select safe mode...doh. Am guessing this must be a harware problem.
Rebooted into Xp an opened up notepad....this time about 5 keys working. Reboot, 3 key etc etc.
How do I get to the ribbon cable to make sure it is seated properly. Is it common for a keyboard to fail in this way and is it easy to get a replacement?
At the mo, have all the small screws I can find out, removed battery, DVD rom and hard drive. Seems to be held towards the middle and rear. Dont want to force it and break something else!
TIA.

OK, so I had to laugh....flip the little cover on the top of the laptop and there are the 2 screws that hold the keyboard in place....lol
The ribbon cable was just about in its connector. Pushed it in and engaged the two locking tabs on the plastic retainer...job done!
Put it back together, fired up and Bingo! we have a keyboard again!
Oh well, may help someone else I guess.
Now she has no excuse for not doing her homework!

Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

> webcam appears in the device manager
Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
All Programs -> Toshiba
There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

My Sat L300 suddenly stopped working the other day.
It kept freezing to start with, then nothing at all. So, I kill-disked the HDD and tried to re-install Windows (XP).
During the install it threw up a message that some internal components had been incorrectly installed and needed to be reinstalled.
I was told to remove the memory cards and re-seat them.
That did not work. I thought that perhaps the HDD was damaged, so I fitted a new one, and started to reinstall Windows.
Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the Motherboard was probably U/S.
So I have been trawling the .net to find a replacement. Laptop out of warranty! I am told that some other serial numbered motherboards will work with this laptop. Don't really want to get a motherboard only to find its never going to work! My unit has an SPS number of: V000138330.
I am being offered one with an SPS of: V000138390.
Any ideas? Will this one work?
And if it does, will it give me the functionality that I used to enjoy?!
Sorry for the long sob story.
Any advice gratefully accepted.

Hello Andy
Sorry but can you tell us more about your notebook? which model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
Do you have European model?
Has your notebook valid warranty?
Maybe I have misunderstood something but why you want to exchange mainboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

Outputs Suddenly Stopped Working.

I have a 5th gen Ipod that I've taken very good care of. Until yesterday I've had no problems with it at all. I was using the Ipod in my car w/ my Itrip and the Audio suddenly stopped working. I assumed it was the Itrip not working correctly, so I plugged it into a set of speakers (via the bottom output) but that wasn't working either. Then I plugged headphones in and there is no audio feeding through the headphone output either. I can see on the screen that the songs are playing on the ipod, but apparently the outputs are not functioning correctly. I tried all of the "Rs" recommended in troubleshooting but those did not help. Any suggestions?

i have the exact same problem. Although i am able to here the clicks throught the headphones which makes me wonder that this is something with software. although i have restored and reinstalled and all that, nothing.
Anyone have a solution?

Sound suddenly stopped working.

Hi, my sound on my HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC just suddenly stopped working the other day. Everything says that it is functioning, and my drivers are up to date, but I cannot seem to get the sound to work out of my speakers or out of headphones.
Product Number: A9P60UA#ABA
Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
If you could help, that would be wonderful! Thanks!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56900.exe
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,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
Chipset Driver - Windows 7.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then hold down the Power and Beats buttons for 10 seconds. When done, reconnect 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.

Internal speakers have stopped working (Lenovo W500 with Win 7 Pro)

Hi
I have a Lenovo W500 4062-5YG... O/S: Win 7 Pro
My sound device is a Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD.
The problem is, that the internal speakers have stopped working all of a sudden... I think it is a hardware problem since when I hookup external speakers or headphones they produce sound... but I am no expert!
I have done the following to try and fix it:
Disable, then enable audio drivers
Uinstall, then install audio drivers
Setting the internal speakers as the default speaker source
Restoring the system to an earlier day (where I knew that the speakers had functioned)
None of these actions have worked.
I actually thought I could perform a hardware test on the speakers in the "Lenovo Solution Center"... but it doesn't seem like it:-(
So...
How can I know for sure whether it is a hardware or software problem?
And more importantly - How can I get my internal speakers to work?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
Philip

As mentioned in your post, you have performed all the major troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. I suggest you to update your BIOS also in order to resolve your issue. You can download and update the BIOS update utility from the below mentioned web link.

Kindly click on Quick path and put your 7 Digit TYPE-Model number(40625YG) in the box and then click on the Find My Product. Please click on BIOS and then download the BIOS update utility according to your Operating System. It might resolve your issue. If it will also not work then it seem to be an issue with hardware.

Viber suddenly stopped working on blackberry 9220

Hi, my viber suddenly stopped working. Is it because I need to update? If so, how do I update? Can you give ne a step-by-step guide! Thanks!

This Apple article might be able to help ya out -> iPhone: Can't hear through the receiver or speakers
Symptoms
When someone calls, I can't hear them through the receiver or speaker phone, and I can't hear music through the speaker. I also can't be heard by someone who is calling me.
(from the article linked above)
Do you see a headphones icon when you adjust the volume on your iPhone, without headphones connected?
If you do, you might have to try and get the gunk out of the headphone jack, if not try a reset, restore, or service.

My sound suddenly stopped working, how do i fix this?

my sound suddenly stopped working after i unplugged my headphones, how do i fix this?

Common problem.
Check the headphone port - if you can see a red light, the port is still live, cutting off the internal speakers.
The cause is a little leaf switch that is pushed over by the jack when you insert it. Sometimes these stick.
Try inserting and removing a jack a few (dozen) times.
If that doesn't free it you may attempt to tease it with a slim non-conducting tool (like a toothpick). Ensure the Mac is not only shut down, but unplugged if you try this.
And be careful; the leaf is fragile and it's an expensive bit to get to and replace, in fact on some models it's directly on the logic board.

Pavillion Laptop with Windows 7 - Speakers have stopped working but headphones do!

Hello
I have a Pavilion dv6 Notebook, with an AMD A8-3500M APU and Radeon HD Graphics card. It is a Windows 7 64 bit system and was purchased in october of 2011
The speakers on my laptop have suddenly stopped working, but external speakers continue to function. I have tried the windows troubleshooter, resetting defaults on playback devices, and updating drivers both through the device manager and through HP Recovery manager. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing drivers, and a hard reset ofthe computer (unplugging all devices and power sources, waiting and restarting). I have tried System Restore to restore the system to a date before the problem. None of these have helped. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi there @Rob5
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 having problems with the notebook speakers., and I am happy to help with this. From all the trouble shooting you have described it sounds like it may be that the speakers themselves may have gone bad, or the connection is loose.
Before we look at the possible physical problem, take a look through this page first, just in case there is something you have not yet tried.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
If you are still getting now sound, then take a look through page 62 of 137 in this guide:
HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
That page shows how to replace the speaker assembly and the relevant part number, but before going that route, I would suggest just disconnecting and reconnecting the speakers, in case it is just a bad connection. Over time a connector can work itself loose. Just doing that may fix the problem. If not then you can call our technical support at 800-474-6836.
