Sound from Headphones and Speakers

I am getting sound out of the headphones and the speakers on my laptop.  I am trying to hookup my laptop to my tv so that I can watch movies.  I have everything figured out, except that i think I disabled the headphones.  When I plugged the cable into the headphone jack on my L455 laptop and into the RGB audio in on my TV, my laptop asked me if I had connected headphones or a line out.  I wasn't thinking and switched it to a line out.  Because of this, I think i screwed it up and now can hear the audio from both the TV and laptop speakers.  When I search for the headphone driver on my laptop, they are no where to be found.  Any advice as to how to fix this problem.  I would really like to watch this movie sometime tonight without an echo from the laptop speakers!!  If I turn down the speakers, no volume goes to the TV. If I have the speakers muted, no volume goes to the TV.  If I disable the speakers, no volume goes to the TV.  I beleieve this is due to me disabling the headphones, but I can not find it on my computer!!
Thanks, Cortney

Realtek chipsets do have a "multi-stream" option. Classic mode seems to provide the most normal result, but there was a version of the driver where the behavior was unpredictable and it wasn't possible to know what would happen.

  • Sound from headphones and analog line output?

    Is there a way to get sound our of the Mac Pro from the analog line output and the headphones at the same time?
    dennis

    Thank you Malcolm it works well. The only thing I found out is when doing it this way Audio Hijack Pro has to be in the record mode and on pause or files of what you are listening to will be created, eating up hard drive space.
    But it works!

  • No sound from headphones and other issues.

    Greetings.
    I was working in a previous version of GB and this version (09 ver 5.1) is not real acoustic guitar friendly, I'm finding. But maybe you can help me out.
    First my set-up: Acoustic guitar with pick-up>LR Baggs Para DI pre-amp>M-Audio Fastrack Pro USB.
    Computer, Latest OS, driver for Fastrack, Mac system sound Preference settings Input=Fastrack Pro Output= Audio line out (my speakers are connected to that on the back ofhe MacPro.
    In the GB audio/midi prefences Audio Out to Built-In line Output, Audio Input= M-Audio Fastrack
    So my first issue, If I create a real instrument track, I can't seem to monitor my audio when the headphones are plugged into the M-Audio device. So I plugged the headphones into the front HP jack on the front of MacPro, and still no sound.
    BTW- I tried toggling the Ducking menu item to no avail.
    I also tried creating an "electric guitar" track, but that just presents a whole bunch of amps, not what I want. So I think the "Real Instrument is for me.
    I also noticed that when I enable the "record" button on the track, it shows that I am getting a signal, but the Master Volume shows no activity. However if I record something and play it back, the Master volume shows activity. I remember in my previous version, the Master Volume would be active all the time I think.
    But for now, my main issue is the lack of headphones.
    Can you guys help?
    Thanks.

  • Headphones plugged in, but sound is coming out from both headphones and speakers

    My laptop has had this problem for quite some time now, it first materialized when I updated to Windows 8.1. I had recently upgraded to Windows 10, and the problem fixed itself. But when I used the laptop the next day, it reverted back to playing from both headphones and speakers, so it's not really a problem with the hardware. I've also restored the laptop multiple times (using restore point), and the problem gets fixed for a day, then comes back the next day. I've tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it, but no luck.
    Laptop does not recognize the headphones even when they're plugged in.
    Any other solutions?

    Hi @Alpha_ ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 14-b017c  Sleekbook and not playing sound correctly. Here is a document on troubleshooting sound.
    Here is another step to try.
    1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
    2. Select Playback devices
    3. Right click Speakers IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio is your default.
    4. Enable it and set as Default
    5. Click Apply/Ok 
    Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues as headphones or speakers.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook.
    Hope this helps with the sound.
    Thanks.

  • Sound randomly switches from headphones to speakers

    Hi,
    I have a rather strange problem. This morning I turned on my Macbook, and the sound was doing something weird. It keeps switching between headphones and speakers, as if I'm plugging and unplugging them. Of course I have nothing plugged in, so the sound keeps cutting out and then coming back on. It switches about every two seconds, although rather sporadically. I tried to actually plug in some headphones, and this made the sound come out of the speakers rather than the headphones, and would only switch back and forth on its own once or twice a minute. After trying to restart twice, it just stopped doing this in the middle of me typing this message, and is now working fine. I had this happen once a while ago, but it stopped much faster last time, so I just didn't think of it. It isn't doing it now, but I'm worried it'll start again, and if it does, I can't very well use my computer, because it keeps doing that little click it does when switching, and I obviously can't use sound. It also makes the computer run slower in general when it does this, because it keeps switching the volume from what it was in headphone mode and in speaker mode. Does anyone know what causes this? I would love to avoid having this occur again...
    Thank you very much!
    Alex

    Ditto here on sound on and off, with a slight variation from those described above -- and, possibly, a major pre-existing condition in development.
    First, the possibly overarching issue: A few days ago, after air travel and all that entails, I was not able to boot up in the usual manner in an airport along the way. Once arrived at my destination I again kept getting the dread, small question mark midscreen beside a tiny version of the blue and white head profiles connected with the Mac logo. So I rebooted holding down Apple-C. After the screen scrolled through a few black and white screens of technical data in true PC nerd form, the machine did initiate the usual start-up screens. I logged in and was able to manipulate all programs. On the following day, I had the same problem turning on the machine. I have not dared turn it off since then.
    New Issue: Intermittent Sound. I opened Safari and iTunes today. The audio cuts out after a few seconds, but I can regain it by tapping into the internet streaming with the headphone jack. Then the audio through the headphones cuts off. When I pull out the headphone jack, I hear the speakers normally again. Then they go silent and I switch back to the headphones. This also happens when I am not on the internet but merely playing music files in my iTunes library. If I leave the machine to go to another room for a while, I sometimes hear the sound coming back randomly for short periods. All audio preferences have been checked out, and the First Aid utility verifies that the HD is OK. (The current HD was replaced six months ago, when I also got an external HD for backups.)
    After the move to a new geographical area I am, of course, in the hands of a different cable provider -- in case that means anything. A second Mac, an iBook, which also made the trip, is working just fine beside this old machine. So is the motherboard (5 yrs old) beginning to die? Or is there a software fix?
    Yes, I am currently backing up files to the external hard drive.
    Many thanks, if you can offer a diagnosis. --JJ

  • No Sound From Headphone Jack, Only Internal Speakers working in Macbook Pro A1278

    Hello, the internal speakers of Macbook Pro A1278 OSX 10.7.5 are working perfectly, but no sound from headphones or external speakers when plugged in. Headphones/speakers recognized when plugged in, shown by System Preferences/Sound, and since the sound stops from internal speakers when headphones/speakers are plugged in. No red light seen coming from headphone jack, as I read in other posts. The problem began after a cable was connected between computer and stereo system. Maybe overloaded the sound card and burned out a connection? Wondering if you think that the sound card needs to be replaced or is there another solution possible? Thank you.

    Hello JohnBoarkman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you hear no sound from your accessory when you connect to your headphone jack. My first troubleshooting suggestion for this situation would be resetting the NVRAM on your Mac. Please use the instructions in the attached article to complete this process and let me know if the issue continues.

  • Low and unclear sound from headphone HP Pavilion G6 2228tu

    laptop hp pavillion g6 2228TU  OS windows 8 pro 64 bit
    every thing was working fine.. but from last 2-3 days i faced a problem of low and cracking sound from headphone ..
    laptop speraker are working fine .. but when I connect headphone to audio port .. sounds comes out to be very low and unclear.
    I tried headphone with my desktop and mobile but it was working fine.
    I called HP custmor support.. they gave a link of sound driver.. i updated sound driver but no solution comes out..

    Hello Deepak-Kumar,
    You’re having a problem with the sound not be very loud.
    Go to device manager and uninstall the IDT audio.
    Do not restart the computer.
    Now install the updated sound driver.
    Since it has not been to long since the problem started, you can run a system restore.
    This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
    Here is a link on how to do a restore.
    Let me know how everything goes.
    Have a good day.

  • Audigy 2 plat- cannot get sound from headphone output, only from rear pa

    Only sound from the external speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    If you getting sound from the external speakers....are we talking the ones on the laptop?
    Means you still have the onboard sound turned on at a guess.

  • Issues with headphones and speakers under Windows

    Sound Card: Sound Blaster Li've! Value (Came with an older Gateway PC)
    OS: Windows XP Professional with SP2
    Problem:
    When installing Windows XP on a clean dri've(Fresh Install) I am unable to get sound from my speakers and headphones at the same time. After numerous testing I've determined that this is simply a Windows XP/SB Li've Value issue of some kind.
    My temporary fix for this has simply been to switch my headphone and speaker plugs on my sound card with each other and go under the sound properties and turn off Digital output. Not a big deal just annoying having to do this.
    I've had this card installed with Windows ME on my system and Windows 2000 and did not have this issue as described above. I simply turned on digital output plugged in both my headphones and speakers to the back of my sound card and had sound from both with no problems what so ever.
    I read somewhere that switching the devldr.exe (which I actually tried) that was installed with windows over to the devldr.exe on the XP setup cd. This actually worked for a moment. Once I rebooted I no longer had sound from both my speakers and headphones.
    What I'm wondering is if I could switch the devldr.exe with either the Windows ME version (not sure if it uses the file) or with the Windows 2000 version would this fix my problem, or has anyone had this problem and found a solution other then what I have stated?
    Thanks

  • Headphones and Speakers at the same time on ZS 2

    Hiya
    I have the Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
    I have a set of normal speakers with the one connector and a set of headphones that has 2 connectors, one for the mic and one for the headphone speakers. This is also a USB set so i have that option aswell.
    Now i know i can put the headphones in the front panel but i dont really want to do this as my pc would mean have the fron panel open.
    My question is, how am i able to use both the headphones and speakers at the same time. At this moment if i plug the USB headphones in they take over and no sound comes out of the speakers.
    I would like both if poss
    Thx
    Paul

    You can get a stereo splitter adapter/cable and with it, you can have the headphone and speaker connect to the same output jack from the soundcard.

  • Headphones and speakers playing at the same time on Win 8.1

    When I plug in a headphone to my laptop the speakers don't cut out, both headphones and speakers play at the same time instead of one cutting out automatically.

    You may try to reinstall the sound driver for your computer from this link http://www.sony-asia.com/support/product/sve15115en.  We kindly recommend contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony-asia.com/section/support for your Asia Pacific model computer. 

  • Xtreme music headphones and speakers issue

    I have a creative soundblaster xtreme music on my PC. I have a problem when I connect my 2.1 Logitech speakers it has to go through the headphones jack input. This is a hassle because if I want to change listening from headphones to speakers I have to unplug the headphone jack at the back of the desktop and then plug the 2.1 speakers jack. Is there a way of plugging both the speakers jack and the headphones jack on the soundcard inputs and then switch between headphone and speakers mode through the computer mouse on the monitor screen?

    I did just as you suggested. There is no quality difference when listening to the headphones while the speakers plug is plugged to the splitter cable jack. But when I am listening to the speakers if I disconnect the headphones plug the sound from the speakers gets louder. I was advised that I can add a X-Fi I/O Dri've? to the extra DVD dri've space available on deskto
    ps.
    This will add the extra jack input for headphones as well as add various other connectivity devices.
    Sound Blaster X-Fi I/O Dri've, I/O Console, and Digital I/O Module

    But at the moment your solution does the job with my 2.1 speakers. I am not sure if it will work the same with a 5.1 speakers. If I use a 5.1 speakers the line out which will be split will be used for the headphones and the front left and right speakers (which is used for the 2.1 speakers system) while the line 2 out will be used for rear left and rear right speakers. The line 3 out will be used for front center and subwoofer. I don't know if I split line for headphones this won't affect the front left and right of the 5.1 speaker system or maybe I have to unplug the headphones plug to make the 5.1 speakers system work. In any event unplugging the headphones plug will increase the volume of the speakers or even increase the sound quality if a trained ear listens to the sound. My ears are not trained enough to notice any quality difference.

  • Docked T500 - Switch between headphones and speakers

    Hey guys,
    I am using my T500 with an Advanced Mini Dock at work. I keep the headphones (with microphone) plugged into the docking station. 
    Sometimes I want to listen to the audio on my laptop's speakers rather than inside the headphones. Is there any way I can make this switch without unplugging the jack from the docking station. 
    I know that above the volume bar for some systems you are able to switch between headphones and speakers and also, up until ~1 month ago I was able to do this from the SmartAudio utility, but now I can't. I can just switch between SPDIF and headphones. 
    I am using Windows 7 64-bit and I have all the latest drivers and apps that come using the "System Update" utility.
    Please let me know if you have a solution for this.
    Thank you,
    Ciprian

    I'm pretty sure that the blame for this lies entirely with Microsoft and their stupid hardware-detecting W7 OS. Yes, it actually detects when you unplug the headphones, tells you what you just did, and promptly resets all sorts of things. The most sensible thing you can do (apart from reverting to XP, which doesn't do this) is to plug an external stereo jack to stereo jack socket extension lead, and plug either your headphones or speakers into that instead, whilst leaving the plug end permanently in the laptop. Microsoft can't pull that stupid stunt on an external connector, so you should be okay with that.

  • Want my Headphones and Speakers to work at the same t

    Hiya. I have an Audigy 2 ZS. I can't figure out how to get my headphones and speakers working simultaneously. I'm sure i used to be able to rig it up like that. Now i can't figure out how i used to do it. I don't have a splitter of any kind. I have the option "Mute speakers when headphone jack is detected" unchecked. One thing i do remember is that i used to have to turn up my speakers real loud so i could hear stuff from my computer, louder than should of been needed. Hope someone can help, thanks.

    Both stereo?
    Same source (same music out from both):
    - speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
    - speakers set to 4/4.
    (- CMSS to Stereo Surround (if not already working w/ above settings))
    Diri'ver modes on software:
    DirectSound and MME - channels /2 (this is default),
    WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels 3/4
    ASIO --> Wave R/L
    Different sources (one player outputs through Front L/R, the other through Rear L/R):
    - speakers to Front L/R, Headphones to Rear L/R (or vice versa)
    - speakers 4/4.
    - CMSS disabled
    - software that allows free output channel selection for second source (like NI Traktor BeatportPlayer, Foobar2000, etc.)
    - your current player outputs through "Front L/R", the other player is set to output through "Rear L/R"
    Driver modes:
    WDM(/KS) (and Asio4All) - channels /2 or 7/6 = Front L/R, 5/6 = Rear L/R
    ASIO - outputs 2/3 Front L/R, 4/5 Rear L/R
    NOTE:
    Above settings works w/ Audigy 2 (6. card). If not w/ Zs, it's quite easy to find those settings which works for it.
    - http://www.nati've-instruments.com/index.php?id=beatportplayer_us
    - www.foobar2000.org
    - www.asio4all.com (you need this w/ non ASIO card only (Li've!, Li've!24-bit, older, Audigy SE, LS,...))
