Hi @satyakam 
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are enjoying your sound  from everything today. I am happy to help.
If you have a sound application installed along with your sound driver, then I would check the settings for the speakers and headphone in that application.
Then I would make your headphone the default device when it is plugged in.
To make headphone as the default device
1.    Click on Start; Go to Control Panel.
2.    Click on Sound.
3.    Switch to Recording.
4.    Select your microphone/headset as the default device.
5.    Save the changes by clicking on OK.
Also you can Uninstall and re-install your audio device drivers, to do that:
1.    Click on Start; in the start search type “devmgmt.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
2.    Expand Sound, Video and Game controllers.
3.    Right click on the audio component and then click uninstall.
With the driver uninstalled then download and re-install the driver from:
HP Pavilion g4-1121tx Notebook PC Drivers
Just be sure to select the correct operating system from the drop down, and click next, which will refresh the list of drivers below.
Let me know if that helped at all.

  • No sound from speakers on dv-6245us. headphones only play right side.

    Hello.
    I have an HP Pavilion Dv6245us Laptop with Windows Vista 32-bit. I use this laptop mainly at work and it sits on my toolbox at work and I connect it to my Creative Home Theatre system via the 2 connections in the front. I switch between both the SPDIF and the headphones jacks from time to time.
    Here is the issue: I noticed the other day that when my cable was plugged in the SPDIF connection, depending on how you moved the cord, you could hear audio only on the right side. When I unplugged the cable, i noticed my laptop speakers did not play any sound. I tried plugging into the other jack on the front and both jacks behave the same: any audio device plugged in will only play on the right side, no sound on the left, however when the cable is in the headphones jack, i can move it and i always hear sound, but when i move it around in the SPDIF jack, it cuts out when you move it. still no sound from the laptop speakers.
    I thought it was a driver issue, so i updated the drivers and even reformated the entire computer. This did not work. I have read around and noticed that some people say a tab may be stuck in the jack and to try and plug something in and out of it rapidly and that should get it to recognize that nothing is plugged in, however that also did not work.
    Just curious if there is anyway to shut off the spdif connection and maybe it would allow the speakers to work again, since that seems to be the jack with the issue, or if there is any other way of solving this issue.
    Thanks, Mike.

    Anyone? Really cannot find any info on this problem..

  • USB ports died after BIOS update on Pavilion dv6

    I have a Pavilion dv6-03013cl running Windows 7 64-bit. Bought six months ago, and all was fine until this morning.
    The HP support assist software told me to update the BIOS, which I did. And then all the USB ports stopped working. In Device Manager, it shows that all have a yellow triangle w/exclamation point. I've got two USB hubs, and into them are two printers, wireless mouse & keyboard, flash drives, and blue tooth adapter.
    I just spent two hours on the phone with tech support in India, and he walked me through several possible fixes. System Restore does not work -- no matter what restore point I try, it hangs, taking hours (he said it should take no more than 10 minutes). Through all of this (and the following) all the USB hubs and devices were unplugged. Each step I would try just the flash drive (which works fine in the laptop on my other desk).
    Tried uninstalling all the USB ports from Device Manager; that didn't help.
    Tried Recovery Manager, but the USB was not on the list.
    Tried rebooting hitting F8 to "last known good configuration", which didn't help.
    Tried downloading BIOS from HP site, which didn't work.
    Finally he told me the only solution is System Recovery, which will send me back to factory settings; meaning I'd need to reinstall all software and data files. I really do not want to do that.
    Any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.

    i have the same problem and found this on another site
    so this is what we get for trying to be responsible and updating.....

  • No sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

    no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us.  Speakers are not muted and volume is up.  May have happened after a system update

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
    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, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in 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.

  • Suddenly no sound from speakers and only from headphones

    Hello,
    I have a HP 8440p VQ664ET#ABU Elitebook laptop running Windows7 64bit pro.
    Since today I'm experiencing the following problem:
    1) no sound is heard through speakers when headphones are disconnected.
    2) If I connect the headphones, the sounds are heard correctly through them: this is the expected behavior
    I don't think it's a speakers hardware problem because I can make the speakers play sounds for one or two seconds like this: while a sound is being played, such as music file for instance, if I move up and down the headset volume cursor (regardless if headphones are connected or not) I can hear the played sound through the laptop speakers for a few seconds, after which the speakers mute again.
    So to summarize:
    1) Headphones disconnected: no sound from speakers
    2) Headphones connected: sound from headphones
    I rebooted, suspended and restored without any luck so far.
    I'm under the impression that there might be a problem with the headphone jack: it is like the laptop always thinks that the headphones are connected and therefore cuts the output to the speakers.
    Any clues?
    Thanks
    Sergio

  • No sound from HP G62 laptop and can no longer get sound from speakers or headphone jack . USB sworks

    have an HP G62 laptop.  I can no longer receive sound from speakers or from headphone jack.  If I plug speakers into usb - I will get sound.  Any ideas?

    I don't think I have anything to offer that you haven't done. In Device Manager, Device status says "working properly" and you've reinstalled this driver.
       Realtek Audio Driver for Windows XP
    Right?
    The only other thing I know to do is restore the hard drive to its original factory fresh contents.

  • Audigy 2 zs - moved pc from one room to another and now no sound from speakers (headphones

    As the title says,
    I just completed moving my pc from one room to another. Low and behold I get no sound from speakers (just some stereo speakers with powered sub). I do get audio out of the headphones (fully disconnect headphones from front panel when attempting to get sound from speakers). I know this probably points to a faulty speaker setup but that's pretty straight forward and looks to be fine.
    Anyone encounter this problem before or have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Mr. Jefferson, Thanks for the quick response!
    A mystery!  Usually, it's easiest to have FiOS patched into your home's cable TV wiring, so I'm curious why you don't have a coax router that provides you with the ethernet (internet) jacks.  Some questions:
    Do you watch TV from some other source (like satellite or cable TV) but are using FiOS only for Internet?
    I have both fios tv and internet
    You said 2 cables are going from your router to a box in the wall.  What are the 2 ports labeled on the router?
    One of them is just the main "internet" port I guess you could say while the other is just one of the ports labeled 1-4 (plugged into #2 I believe)
    Is there any labeling on the jacks on the wall box?  On the other box in your room?
    On the wall box in this room theres labeling on the jacks on the wall box that says IN and OUT (in marker), while in my room there's the same box but with only ONE, unlabeled jack (I think there's supposed to be another jack but it seems to be closed/sealed off)
    Do you know where the Internet jacks connect to? Like a patch panel or box somewhere in your garage or near where your FiOS/cable tv/phone service is?  Somewhere these cables have to terminate.
    I believe they somehow connect to this box in my garage (did some research and I believe it's called the ONT? and there's another box below it which I believe is the battery)
    Hope this info helps!

  • No sound from speakers, only subwoofer after restore to factory

    I recently restored an HP pavilion dv7 back to factory settings using the built in hp restore. When it came back, sound will only play through the subwoofer. When I do sound tests, I hear both channels play, but they play through the one "triple bass reflex subwoofer" on the bottom of the laptop. Nothing coming from the two speakers in the front at all. 
    I have uninstalled the IDT drivers multiple times using the current drivers, the original drivers in the swsetup folder and many drivers in between from HP's ftp site. No luck. I'm pretty much out of ideas. It's clearly a software or driver issue as they worked before the reset but I have no idea what else can be done about it.
    HP tone control is installed, the beats audio panel is visible, IDT audio shows up in appwiz. Ive seen a few forum posts about this same issue but nothing that ever seemed to get resolved. 
    Any ideas? I've included some screen shots of what I'm seeing

    Hi @etainw ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv7-4000  Notebook and issues with no sound from speakers, only subwoofer after restore to factory. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Subwoofer on Beats Notebooks. On the Enhancements tab, select the Bass Boost option, and verify the device driver is Enabled, this should help.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system at the time of purchase.

  • A1000L IdeaPad No Audio Sound from Speakers

    Our IdeaPad A1000L was working great for a while, but now it will not produce sound from the speakers.  At first I assumed I somehow had it set to silent even though the volume bar was all the way up.  I reset all my audio settings.  Then I realized the audio works fine from headphones.  I did a full reset on the tablet, and still no sound from speakers -- only from headphones.  I have read a similar thread where it was suggested that this might be caused by damage to the headphone port, but I rarely use headphones, and don't think I'd ever used them before with this device.  Still, I tried jiggling the headphone thing around in there like suggested and it's still not working.  When I look in there with a flashlight, it looks exactly like the inside of the headphone port on our other IdeaPad.  Is there anything else I can check/try before taking it in for service?

    Hello rkrohatgi,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing and the troubleshooting steps you have already taken.  It sounds like you are seeing a screen similar to this when trying to adjust the volume:
    I recommend the following steps for an issue like this (you can skip any of the steps you have already taken):
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • Clicking sound from speakers!

    I have problem with sound but this is strange one and i can't find solution anywhere... I am pretty good with computers and i usualy find solutions on internet when i have problem but this is something i can't solve by myself... My laptop is HP 355 G2 and i have Windows 10 installed on it but the same problem was on Windows 8.1 too... So after clean installation of Win10 the sound was good and worked normaly for 2-3 days and now i only hear a clicking sound from speakers when audio is playing but the strange thing is that when i pick up laptop from the table the sound start to work for few seconds and then the clicking sound comes back again, so i suspect that this has something to do with accelerometer which is built  in laptop for hard disc parking in case of drop or something like that... I tryed to uninstal/disable driver for accelerometer but windows install it again emidiatly after reboot, i tryed clean install few times and problem apears again and again... I just don't know anymore what to try to do in order to solve this so if anyone know anything about this please help... And i forgot to say that headphone jack work normaly and when i plug the headphones or external speakers in headphones jack the sound works but the clicking sound still comes out from built  in speakers... Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it is not my native language and there is no support forums on my native language witch is Serbian...

  • No sound from speakers on new U430 touch laptop

    I just purchased a new Ideapad U430 touch laptop last week, but have never been able to get the speakers to work properly. Here's what I've tried so far: Checked sound settings to make sure speakers were not disabled.Updated the Realtek audio driver to latest version.Uninstalled and re-installed the Realtek audio driver.Ran tests through the the Realtek HD Sound Manager (speaker icons light up and test appears to run okay, but still no sound).Ran all available Windows updates.Tested headphone jack, and it always works fine.This has been the case since before I installed any software, so I doubt there are conficting issues there. Sometimes when I first start up the laptop, I'll briefly get a few seconds of scratch sound from the left speaker only. After a few seconds, it always cuts out and never comes back on until the next startup. I've never heard any noise from the right speaker. Here's what I'm running: Ideapad U430 touch running Windows 8.1. Intel i5-4200 processor, 8gb RAM, 64-bit.Driver: Realtek High Definition Audio 6.0.1.7133 Any suggestions? Since the sound does come out a bit scratchy and only from the left speaker, I'm wondering if it's a hardware issue.

    What firmware version do you have? Latest version caused the left speaker to stop working randomly on my U430. Check the speaker wires connections if you're comfortable opening the laptop. You can find directions here: http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/ideapad_u330pu330touchu430pu430touch_hmm.pdf

    Reboot the iPad and see if that helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
