Sound coming from internal speakers, not plugged in external ones

I've got a set of speakers plugged into the audio jack in the back of the computer. System sounds (beeps and such) come out of the external speakers like they should. But, application sounds (RealPlayer) insist on coming from the internal speaker of the computer, no matter what I choose in the System Preferences for Sound Output. This happened when I first bought the machine, and then it miraculously got fixed (no idea how). Now it's doing it again. Any idea how to force applications to output sound to external speakers?

Go System/Pre then sound
from there, go to Output-Line-Out,
see if its on mute aswell,
it was not on mute. I ended up plugging the speakers into the microphone jack on the front (instead of the line out in the back) and now it works.

If you see a red light in the audio output port, then the internal switch is stuck. Insert the earphone plug a few times and see if you can trip the switch. If that fails, insert a cocktail stirrer and the like and jiggle it around inside. If that fails, take it to an Apple store and have the technicians at the genius bar do it for you.

Has anyone experienced a popping sound coming from their speakers after the upgrade to 10.8.5?

Has anyone experienced a popping sound coming from their speakers after upgrading to 10.8.5? If you play something with sound (like iTunes or YouTube video) it goes away but then appears again after you wake up your computer from sleep.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
Reboot and recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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)

My sound switches from internal speakers to apple Tv and i dont have an apple tv device

I am having problems with sound. My speakers will switch from internal speakers to Apple TV for no reason when I am on a certain wifi network and ask for a password. I do not have an apple TV and in order for the sound to come out on the internal speakers i have to manually go into the preferences and switch back to internal speakers. This does this constantly while i am listening to music. Is there a way to shut off the feature so it will stay on internal speakers? This has happened ever since i made the upgrade to OS mountain lion. I never did this before. Thank you for your help.

Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it? Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network. The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not. If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available. The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.

Low muffled sound coming from the speakers on IPod Touch

How can I resolve the low muffled sound coming from speakers on IPod Touch 4th generation?
Reset of apps was done and full reset of the IPod was done.

This is not normal and there is no solution you can administer from home without voiding any warranty you may have... i suggest taking it to your nearest apple store and letting them know, they are very good when it comes to these small problems and will most likely give you another iPod while they fix/throw away your old one... Do a backup first though, so you can load your files back onto the new one.

Sound still from internal speakers when connected to a bluetooth headset

I just got some new bluetooth headphones for Christmas. I have them paired to my Macbook Pro. The bluetooth menu shows them as connected and if I hold option and click on the sound menu bar item it shows my current output and input device to be my headphones.
When playing music it only comes out through my headphones. Some other applications (my IRC client and various others) also only produce sound through the headphones. However the Messages application and Skype application both produce there notification sounds out my internal speakers only.
I would assume that this isn't really related to by headphones but rather the operating system not directing the sound to the proper output correctly.
Has anyone experienced this? (been able to fix)
Also for reference my headphones are Sony MDR 10rbt.

I have the EXACT same issue. I've tried Googling for a solution every so often to no avail. Did you ever figure this out?
Edit: Actually, I think I found a solution. I installed Soundflower (http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/) and set the 2ch and 64ch to my Bluetooth headphones. In Mac System Preferences > Sounds > Sound Effects tab, I also set "Play sound effects through:" to Soundflower (both the 2ch and the 64ch seemed to work). Did the same in the Output tab. Now it seems like every sound is being pushed through my Bluetooth headphones! Hope this helps.

I don't have any sound coming from my speakers after updating my HP Envy H8-1513C?????

No sound on internal speakers but OK on external ones G4 15" 1.75 Ghz

I have no start-up chime or no sound from internal speakers, but do have sound when I plug in an external speaker. Is there a sound board in this unit, or is it a logic board problem? Also have the no wake-up after sleep issue, and have to remove all power - have read about 127 posts on this, and one consensus seems to be that removing the trackpad sensor will solve that problem. Does that not have any effect on the operation of the powerbook, and if not, why is there a trackpad sensor in the first place?

It is good that external speakers work. It effectively narrows down the problem to the switching contacts in the headphone jack, as other faults are very rare. I would insert a plug in and out of the headphone jack many times and wiggle it.
I have no experience with the failure to wake problem.

Sound coming from internal speaker

Hi all,
I have solaris 10 installed on my ultra 60 but when I play music or enable sounds in gnome all sounds are coming from the internal speaker, not from the speakers I connected.
How can I enable the 'good' speakers instead of the hardware speakers?

Is there a way to save the sdtaudiocontrol settings so that they come up that way every time?
I get tired of turning off the internal speaker and turning on the external output after I logout or reboot.
I've been using Solaris 9 and Gnome 2.0 and will shortly finish upgrading the workstation to Solaris 10 SJD. I have no reason to expect that the new S10 with SJD will behave differently than the older version.

Sound coming from speaker when earphones plugged in

Hi, when i plug my earphones in the sound still comes out the speaker and earphones a dead? Any quick fix on this?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

HT4528 Since updateing with the new IOS 7.1 on my 4s, I have NO sound coming from my speakers or volume control, but I DO have sound when my phone rings. How do we fix this problem?

I updated my phone last night with the new iOS7.1 my phone worked fine before updating. Since updating, I have no sound from music or videos, but I do have sound when my phone rings. anyone know how to fix this? I have already done a restore that did nothing.

Clean iPhone charging port with toothbrush and small amount of isopropyl alcohol. If still problem the faulty part is charging port assembly with flex cable, lower mic, and connector of home button flex. Apple handles this problem with replacement iPhone 4S with Warranty or AppleCare coverage, if no coverage it is $199.

Sound not coming from blth speakers

My 3g does not have stereo sound coming from both speakers. If I cover the left speaker when playing an i-tune, there is absolutely no sound coming from the right speaker. Also , my ringtone and speaker phone doesn't seem as lound as it should be, probably related to the above problem. When I use the earpieces the stereo sound is perfect. Does anyone know if this is the case with their phone? I'd like to know before I take it in. Thanks.

The iPhone 3G only has one speaker, the right side is a microphone.
