Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)    
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device. 
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

  • Sound from both Speakers and headphones at the same time

    I have a Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b003ee 
    recently i have a very annoying problem anytime i plug in a headphone on the sound comes from both the laptop speakers and the headphones 
    I tried the following 
    1- Changed the driver tried both versions on the HP support
    2- changed the headphones tried 3 of them and the same problem
    3- tried the Microsoft HD Audio driver (no sound could comeout from the headphones)
    4- tried disabling the communication device from the control panel while the speakers is on and vise versa 
    5- A system restore 
    still the same problem and i think it maybe an malfunction from the hardware or the headphones jack port on the laptop but how does the sound still come out from the headphones ?
    I thought of buying a USB headphones but the laptop is no more than 3 months old so i think i still on warranty and such if it is a hardware problem , I am currently in Egypt bought the laptop from Egypt also

  • Sound playing through speakers and Headphones at the same time...

    Hi everyone, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 S5849. It is only about 6 months old. Now whenever I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, sound keeps playing through the speakers and in the headphones at the same time. Also the speakers do always have a crackling sound like they are blown. I have been trying to fix it for awhile now but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello again, sorry that the driver did NOT resolve the issue. What I suggest we try is the Support Assistant.

  • Use speakers and headphones at the same time

    Hi!
    Is it possible to use both exits to play different songs? I mean, use speakers and headphones like different channels, I'd like to use them to mix music and it would be very useful if I could listen a song by headphones while the other one is playing.
    Laptop has two headphones exits, can I use them as different channels as well??
    thanks!

    Nope...If you really want to do that, you need to use a external device like Audio2DJ....

  • E93z All in One I want Audio playback through speakers and headphones at the same time

    Hi there,
    As the subject line reads I am hoping to enable playback through both the headphone and internal speakers on the E93z All in One unit I have.
    Is there is currently a way to do this with the Lenovo HD Audio software for the Realtek system? It detects the headphones and does the typical shut off of the internal speakers however no option to enable playback through both seems to exist.
    Running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit.
    I cannot enable stereo mix (by right clicking in the playback area of the sound settings in Windows) to try and come up with a work around.
    I have tried re-installing the drivers and not luck with more options to do this.
    I have tried un-installing the Lenovo HD audio software and still no luck using the vanilla Windows 7 software.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well basically I want to hook in some external speakers via the headphones jack and the more speakers the better, I just figure if there's a way to have 4 speakers instead of just two it'd be cool, why let the internal speakers go to waste?
    Do you know if plugging in headphones physically cuts off the internal speakers or if it's a software/driver thing?
    Thanks to all who've replied
    I'm pretty sure it's all in the OS, since the level control is right at the top. You can actually customize sound profiles individually for headphones or the built-in speaker, or any other sound devices. You can also use Bluetooth headphones (or a headset) or USB output devices. As far as I know, only one can be selected (in System Preferences) even if multiple ones are plugged in.

  • Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

    Hi All,
    I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
    user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
    If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
    I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
    Interface Requirement
    FILE -
    > PI -
    > JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
    I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
    Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
              If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
    "If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
    Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ...  where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows  you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
      Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database.  A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
    http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
    http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
    [ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
        Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject

        There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

  • Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

    Can I setup my P1606dn to eprint both Mac and PC at the same time?

    Hi Poindexter65,
    There is no setup involved to ePrint from a computer.  So, the answer is yes.  All you need to do in order to ePrint, is send an email (attaching whatever you wish to print) to the printer's email address.
    Here is a link with more information about ePrint and specifications for attachment types, file sizes, etc.:  https://h30495.www3.hp.com/help#eprint

  • Use one external harddrive on both pc and mac at the same time

    i bought an iomega external harddrive today
    can i use it on both mac and pc at the same times?
    for ex:
    when i plug in both computer
    i could able to read and write on the hdd on both computer
    since i format it into 4 partitions (2 journal and 2 doc)
    so i wish i can use them separately in 2 computers

    Hi Jerry_L and welocme to Discussions,
    using such USB or Firewire connected external harddrives with two computers at the same time is usually not recommended by the manufacturer.
    Doing so might lead to data-loss and the like.
    Check with the manual of that harddisk to verify.
    Using it with one computer at a time with your partitioning should be doable.

  • Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 - some softs use laptop speakers some headphones (at the same time)

    To be more specific, I usually use my headphones with my laptop. The main problem is that when I use winamp and skype at the same time there's a weird thing happening:
    If I get a skype sound, the sound switches from the headphones to the laptop speakers. After the skype sound is over it automatically returns tot the headphones. I'm using Windows 7, and I looked at Volume Control Options and i have 3 devices: SPDIF, Independent Dual Headphones and Speakers and Dual Headphones and I can not choose which one to use (for all softwares).
    This is annoying (specially at night when I don't want to make any noise), if I get a skype call my speakers go wild and after the bip-sound from the call it all switches back to the headphones.
    Can you help me set up this sound issue ?

    Solution has been found. Disable "Communications Heaphones" from Sound in the Control Panel.

  • Problem with audio of my notebook. Audio works through pc speakers and earphones at the same time

    Hi all, 
    thanks in advance for your advices.
    I have a problem with my notebook (HP pavilion g6 2305 sl).
    The problem is that when I connect my earphones the audio of my pc don't stop, hence I can hear (music, film, ...) both by earphones and speakers at the same time.
    I tried to install again the latest driver audio, but nothing was changed.
    I tried to use another pair of earphones, but nothing.
    I have noted that if I connect the Jack at my pc, but not until the end, the audio stops from the speakers and goes through the earphones, but only if the jack is not completly inserted in the notebook.
    I read a lot of forum on the web but I'm not able to find a solution for my problem.
    (ps. the problem comes out suddenly, without any signal. I don't have installed any update or new software before the problem's start)

    Right click on speaker icon, lower right screen.
    Choose playback devices.
    Select "speakers and headphones" as your default.
    Disable "communications headphones".

  • Delete photos in both iPhoto and Finder at the same time??

    Is there any way I can delete photos in iPhoto AND at the same time delete them permanently in the finder?
    We all take too many pictures with out digital cameras and we can't say for sure which once are good with just looking at the camera... so we have to import ALL of them to iPhoto. When we do that, they also get saved in the Finder. When you delete the bad photos in iPhoto you still sit on the bad photos in Finder...
    Does anyone know an easy way to delete BOTH at the same time?
    Thank you

    I'm not sure I understand your set up:
    And I wanted to let you know that under Preferences the box "copy items to the iPhoto Library" is checked.
    So, all your pics are copied into the iPhoto Library. BUT you also have copies in the Pictures Folder. Why do you have two copies? They don't count as a back up because they aren't on a different volume, all they are doing is wasting disk space.
    If you let iPhoto manage the files then you have no need to access them in the Finder. With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    I'm not sure I understand your problem.

  • Access to a server by both afp and smb at the same time

    I'm sure that there's an answer to this, but it's not obvious to me. I have a series of macbooks and various linux servers that I use for file storage. Some of the older linux boxes share via smb, but I'd like to move to afp, primarily as I think that it ought to be easier to administer.
    Before a do a migration, how do I mount remote shared filespace on the same server with different protocols? Finder seems happy to authenticate as either AFP or SMB user to a specific machine, but not both at the same time - I only get one server in the left hand pane of finder.
    Is it possible to get dual access to work? Do I just use different IP addresses for the server?
    cheers
