Sony VAIO Flip internal speaker not working why?

Hi,
First time posting, first time Sony laptop user. I've had this Sony VAIO Flip 15 - SVF15N17CXB, laptop for a few months now everything has been working fine. Til lately I been hearing static on my laptop when I played music or videos. I managed to look up some of the common problems and adjusted my audio options til I got it fixed, and it worked.
Until now, where I can only hear from he left internal speaker on my laptop. It was working fine earlier, but now it seems to have given out. I don't know if I blew it out or maybe I messed up the settings. I've tried updating my driver it says I have he latest one. I've uninstalled the driver, reboot my system, and it automatically reinstalled it, but still nothing.
I'm not sure if I need to get it repaired or etc. I would take it to the Sony store, but they permanently closed all their locations in Canada. Please help, it is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Eddie

  • Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse internal speaker not working !!!

    Recently I bought an used Wireless Mighty Mouse (first version with grey side buttons), the mouse is working perfectly minus the single little detail that I can not hear any clicking sound from the internal tiny speaker inside the mouse when I use the little scroll ball above the mouse or when I press the grey side buttons, is this normal or should I hear the clicking sound simulated by the internal speaker? is there a way to enable or disable the internal speaker by software? Maybe is disabled by default, I don't know. I really don't think the speaker could be damaged due to the rest of the mouse is working like a charm but maybe mine came without a speaker, could be? or maybe it got disconnected somehow. Any clues or ideas would be very helpful. Thanks !

    I know what a microswitch is, please look at these links, here are the proof there is (or maybe there was) a tiny speaker in some mighty mouse and wireless mighty mouse:

  • Solaris installaton on Sony Vaio PCG-F707 network not working

    Hi,
    I am new to Solaris, I use unix as a developer no admin experience. I try to install it on my laptop Sony Vaio PCG-F707, which is an European model equivalent to PCG-F403 of american model.
    It detects the display and mose properly. There is an IRQ conflict(IRQ 5) with the sound blaster and PNP device. My network card is on the docking system it connected to the USB. Window detected it as KLSI USB Ethernet Adapter. Physical address is: 08-00-46-02-91-3D.
    Everytime it boots shows the message IRQ conflict. I tried to delete the device and mannually assign the IRQs, but it dectects auto metically and override that. In desktop It saying no sound device found.
    Network is not detected probably. It is showing only one driver to lo0 (127.0.0.1). It successfully pings to localhost only. It doesn't ping to any other window box in the network neither to the netgear router.
    I also try to check the other USB port, by connecting the sony digital camera, it didn't detected by the camera browser program.
    I disable the Plug & Play from the bios and reboot no difference.
    I like the Solaris software very much wish to use it, but without network and sound, it is no use. Please help me on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I am also new to Solaris and I have very similar problem with installation of Solaris 10 on HP Server tc2120.
    In my case, there is no conflict.
    Network monitor is showing only one connection; lo0 (127.0.0.1). I am not able to see and configure the internal network adapter : Integrated Broadcom NC7760 10/100/1000
    Can anyone help me how to configure (to assign IP address; gateway etc..) network adapter on Solaris?
    Thanks in advance..

  • IPOD TOUCH 16 GB: Internal Speaker Not Working. Help!

    I recently purchesed an iPod Touch, 16GB, not sure of the generation, off of someone on craiglist.com. I checked it out with the person there before paying, and everything worked fine. The only thing I didn't check was the speaker. (I had tried it with the headphones in.)
    The speaker does not work at all. I tried resetting, restarting, updating (says that the software is current on itunes 3.1.3), and nothing still. It's set on speaker only (tried both setting also). When the headphones are in the volume slider, I can adjust it, but if I unplug them the slider completely disapperars and I can't adjust volume on speaker mode. Music, Apps, absolutely no sound on speaker setting. Help...please?

    You can look up what gen you have at http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
    I don't know what else to try for the speaker problem. The original touches don't have a speaker, but it sounds like yours does, it just doesn't work.

  • Probook 4720s internal speaker not working (headphones do)

    Hi.
    I have a problem where the internal speakers on the laptop just wont work, but I get sound from headphones when they are plugged in.
    * The computer is less than a month old and has not been used very much.
    * I think I heard sound when I installed everything for the first time.
    * I'm using Windows 7. I've tried Ubuntu 10.10 and the sound from headphones worked there, but not from speakers.
    * Nothing is muted.
    * Every volume is at max.
    * Headphones are not plugged in.
    * Latest bios is installed.
    * Latest sound driver is installed (I've tried all available drivers from HP and windows standard drivers, none work).
    * No indication of error anywhere. The computer seems to do everything it's supposed to do, except no sound comes from the internal speakers.
    * I've reset Windows with system restore, but it did not change anything.
    * One theory I had was that the laptop was stuck in "headphone mode" due to a stuck or broken switch in the headphone jack. However, if I open IDT HD sound program, there is a picture of the headphone jack, and if I plug in headphones, the picture is enlarged, and if I unplug headphones, the picture is decreased. Therefore, it does seems like the software registers when the headphone is plugged in and when it's not.
    Possible fault(?):
    * Software error somewhere, either the driver or Windows 7.
    * Broken cable between to speakers somewhere?
    * Broken soundcard? (headphones work).
    Is there something else I could try? (I guess I could reinstall the whole computer, but rather don't do that unless absolutely necessary, as the problem might just arise again).

    I have a Pavilion dm4-1162us laptop and I just had similar audio issues start today.
    I had headphones plugged in to play a game and when I was finished, I unplugged my headphones, and suddenly no sound was coming out of the laptop's speakers. The sound works when I plug the headphones in again.
    I have checked all of the audio settings and made sure the speakers are set as default and enabled. I made sure that disabled devices are visible. All sound tests have failed. I have rolled back the drivers to version 6.10.6300.0 and also I have tried reinstalling the latest version 6.10.6324.0 yet it still doesn't work.
    I noticed throughout the ordeal, the IDT control panel looked like it detected the headphone jack as active even though nothing was plugged in.
    Is there a way to reset this detected state? If anything else, how can I just use the Windows audio drivers? Do I need to remove the driver files in the swsetup folder?

  • Sony VAIO Flip 15 no longer booting

    Hi all,
    Here's my problem:
    First it started as the touchpad not functioning after powering on from sleep mode. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad drivers and it works again after a reboot. But the next time I power it on from sleep mode it stops functioning again! At that point, my laptop decides it's time for an update, and forces an update when I shut down the laptop so I don't touch it for a couple of days. Next time I try to turn it on, my laptop won't even boot up properly ! And by that I mean that I'll press the power button, the power (solid green led, no blinking) and hdd led will turn on, the fan revs up, but while the screen is still black, it shuts down. Right after it shuts down, it will try to power on again with no intervention from me and then shuts down once more. Now every time I try to power on, that's the only process that I get. That's about all I can describe for the symptoms.
    Here's what I've tried:
    -Get to bios screen and try a recover, the laptop won't even allow me to get to a bios screen (tried using the battery kill method and then assist button, no luck)
    -Remove the battery to reset bios and try to power on again, but the same process as I mentioned repeats itself
    -Remove and reinsert the cmos battery but again when I try to power on, the same thing happens
    -Try to take the battery out of the picture and only use AC power, but still the power issue
    -Tried removing ram disks in all combinations and try to start each time but still the same issue. 
    -Tried reseating hdd and ram and most everything but still same issue
    *All have been attempts by regular power button and the assist button*
    Essentially nothing will get past this ****** powering laptop on, and then it shuts off and tries to power on again by itself and shuts off again, all with a black screen that can't be bypassed

    MODEL #VF15N17CXB
    Please any help would be appreciated! I don't have the money to afford a repair at the moment so I'm out a very expensive laptop if this doesn't get fixed!

    Hi ttran106,
    Welcome to Sony Community!
    We regret to know that your laptop is having a power issue. When did it start? May I know what is the current operating system of this laptop?
    If the laptop won't stay on and it always restart by itself then we can't perform any troubleshooting. I'm confused on the things that you said you've tried. First thing this SVF15N17CXB is a compact laptop wherein the battery is not removable, RAM is not removable nor the CMOS battery unless you open up the laptop by yourself. (We have an authorized technician to help you fix the laptop)
    Click on this link and please make sure that you will follow the instructions provided to isolate the issue.
    Please keep me posted.

  • Sony vaio flip 15 missing strokesG

    HI, there,
    I recently bought the new Sony vaio flip 15  and I have been trying to use photoshop elements 11 as well as 9 2 and I even tried CC just to be sure .after iI installed the required wintab 32 and 64 drivers to enable pressure sensitivity with the n- trig stylusphotoshop is just unusable. If I draw ten quick strokes only three to seven of them actually show up on screen and they are all different thicknesses and there is even some vectoring for good measure Every other program has perfect pressure such as manga studio five and sketchbook pro etc but the n-trig wintab drivers are just not working, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and it is just not working, is there some hidden button I am just not pressing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks heaps, bye bye,
    MIchael.

    Update PSE12 to PSE12.1 and see if it resolves the issue.

  • How do I get Sony Vaio flip to sync with Iphone

    I just purchased the new Sony Vaio Flip and when I plug the USB cable for my iphone 4 the charging bolt flickers on and off.  It seems like the connection on both ports is not stable.  I tried uninstalling Itunes, but this does not work as it continues to flicker uncontrolably.  I also, tried looking in device management for the USB drivers, if the the iphone is plugged it keeps refreshing-consistent with the flickering.  I also unplugged the device and checked all the drivers and they are up to date. I don't think it's a windows 8 issue because the same phone and cable combination is working fine with my home computer that is also 8  Help, anyone?

At first, the ITunes application would not start without a failure until i copied the file, QTMovieWin.dll to the C:\Program Files\Itunes according to another post.
    After getting the Itunes app to run without failure, the IPAD when connected through its USB cable, continuously flickers and nevers registers as connected to the PC.

    nonsense.  iTunes works flawlessly on millions of Windows PCs, so there's obviously something wrong with your particular system.

  • Sony vaio flip 15 missing strokes in photoshop

    HI there,
    I recently bought the Sony vaio flip 15 which uses the n-trig stylus as opposed to Wacom, I downloaded the appropriate drivers from n-trig to apply pressure sensitivity in photoshop and while the stylus is pressure sensitive it keeps missing strokes, I will draw on the screen and nothing will happen, if I draw ten quick strokes only three to seven will appear on screen, I haveI uninstalled and re installed the drivers to no effect and the stylus works perfectly in other pressure sensitive programs such as sketchbook pro 6 and manga studio 5 but in photoshopit is unusable, is there something I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you,
    MIchael

    HI there, yep windows eight sorry, I have tried the new cc and it has the same issue. If I remove the drivers for the n-trig stylus the problem gets better in a way the stylus is responsive but no pressuresensitivity of course. These wintab drivers were specifically designed to work for photoshop so it shouldn't be this bad

  • Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

    Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype. 
    Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
    Any suggestions, please?

  • Internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

    internal speakers not working after upgrading to Maverics

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
