Sound is not coming out of speakers, but headphones work?

I have a Satellite L505-S5990 laptop. Today while I was sitting at home browsing the Internet, I realized there was no sound coming out of the speakers. It was working just fine minutes before. It was sitting on the counter the entire time and it just silently stopped working.
So I grabbed some headphones and plugged them in and they worked.
I restarted the computer, still no sound coming from speakers.
Windows 7 found no problems while troubleshooting the sound.
I downloaded the Automated Troubleshooting Services to diagnose and fix sound playback issues from Microsoft but that didn't find any issues.
I uninstalled the sound driver and installed the one that came with this laptop. I still get the same result. No sound from speakers but headphones work.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Thanks!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just want to add another relieved reader of this thread. I had lost the sound to my speakers even though I had sound to headphones. I was convinced it was a damaged headphone jack because I had pushed the headphone plug in harder the last evening when my wife complained that she could still hear the speakers while I listened with the headphones. The next morning--no speaker sound.
I spent a few hours searching the web to see how to disassemble a satellite A505 and get to the jack. But I wasn't even sure I could get a proper replacement jack that fit, and I was concerned that small damage, say to the ribbon connectors could render the computer useless--a large price to pay for just missing audio.
Fortunately, I stumbled onto this thread and I recalled I had put the unit to sleep the night before--something I don't usually do, but I didn't want all the Chrome web sites to have to reload so I just put it to sleep.
When I put it to sleep again and fired it up--Sound! I am so glad to find this solution so I just want to let people know it remains a viable option.

VFL Speaker sound from both the front speakers while FR sound is not coming out at all.

I have a creative gigaworks s750 connected to a xtreme gamer sound card. The system was working absolutely fine but now it has started behaving very strangely; system is playing back Front Left Speaker sound from both the front speakers while Front Right sound is not coming out at all. If i click the front right speaker in audio console speaker setup wizard, no sound comes. However when i click the front left speaker, sound comes out of both speakers. I counter checked it with playing 5.1 dts movie and muting all the speakers except the front left one from ac3 filter, sound came out of both the front speakers. However when i muted all the channel except the front right, no sound was coming out of front right speaker.

Sound not coming out of speakers.

The sound will not come out of the external speakers on my iMac. What must I do to ensure they work?

Had them plugged in to the wrong port. Once in the correct one it worked fine.

Audigy RX - 5.1 Not Coming Out All Speakers In Media Player Etc & S/PDIF Question?

Okay, So 5.1 is configured, seems to work when playing games, but for some reason it isn't coming out all the speakers (just the front) when playing music like in Media Player etc, I've looked on the net and seen other people with the same probs, but no resolve for me. Some people mentioned about 'Speaker Fill' but my Audigy RX doesn't even have that option. Any idea? Pretty annoying as the 5.1 is definitely setup.
Secondly, how do you enable S/PDIF? I try testing it, but nothing comes out the centre speaker, or no sound period. It's ironic too, as when I am playing a movie in PowerDVD, 6 speakers it comes out the middle, but change to S/PDIF, there's nothing there. Anyone help out?
Cheers.

Hi, solved the problem. I also noticed that when isntalling itunes, quicktime never installed. So i installed quicktime manually and thats when the problems started. I mangaed to solve the problem by deleteing every trace of quicktime, and installing quicktime 6, then reinstalling quicktime7. Problem solved.

No Sound from speakers but Headphones work on HP All-In-One 23-p142

I recently purchased my computer HP Pavillion 23-p142 with Windows 8.1 64bit on July 9, 2015 and everything was golden...couldn't be happier with it for my needs. Now, in just the last few days, the sound doesn't work at all. No sound from Windows Media Player, Youtube etc. Absolutley nothing. Not even system sounds. I've tried troubleshooting tips such as going into Computer Management> Services> Windows Audio and restarting that service...still no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio drivers several times and it worked on the very first attempt then the sound went away again after a few hours. I'm at a loss for what to try next...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. PS. I forgot to mention my headphones work fine. And here are some screenshots of devices...if that helps with anything.

[SOLVED] No sound on laptop speakers, but headphones working properly

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with sound on my laptop. My laptop speakers doesn't work, but if I connect my headphones to the 3.5mm jack, headphones sound correctly. I managed a few days ago to fix this issue, but after a few days without problems, it stopped working.

How exactly did you fix it and what happened to break it?
Well I simply removed /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, and rebooted. Then the sound started working. Then I used a live-cd distro that I'm testing for my University, and when I rebooted the next time, the sound didn't work.

I haven't had time to try it. This morning, started working without doing anything... there must be trolls inside my laptop. I hope this time will continue working indefinitely.
Thanks a lot for answering.
EDIT: Yesterday before shuting down my laptop I returned the configuration I had changed to its original state, so that could be the change that made my speakers work again this morning.

Line Out Speaker Problems, but Headphones work just fine?

So my computer was working beautifully yesterday, but today, my speakers sound awful. The bass sounds alright but any treble just sounds echoey and/or scrambled. It's also just really quiet at times. My headphones work just fine though. Any suggestions?

If the headphones are OK, then check your speakers. If they are powered speakers there may be a problem with the speaker's amplifier or you could have a loose connection.

Sound does not come out of iPod but can hear it with ear phones. What happened

CCannot get sound from iPod except from earphones. What has happened?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.

TS2097 I inserted a new DVD, it is working but not coming out. Whenever I try to eject it, it does not come out. Apple should provide us the easy and manual way to eject CD/DVD or?

Hello,
I inserted a new DVD in my mac book pro, its working and the drive is reading the dvd but unfortunately is not coming out. I have tried several ways mentioned on all over the net and apple community websites but nothing has worked so far.
I need a easier and manual way to eject the DVD. Where is apple's help?
Please help me. This is one of the weaknesses Apple should work on because it is causing us pain and loss of efficiency which is not apple's quality.
Thanks

Thanks for asking, actually I just found a trick on a website.
It siad that restart MBP while holding eject button, I did it and DVD came out right away.
I hope that this works out for everyone.
But still there is a need for a manual eject system so that people don't worry about stucking the DVD or CD in th drive.
Thanks anyway dear.

HT1349 My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?

My Ipod mini syncs, but when I go to play, no sound. I've tried multiple speakers and headphones. No Go. What next?
My latest problem is that the Apple site will not recognize my equipment by it's serial number. I know the mini is old, but I like what it did for me and don't necessarily want to "upgrade".

This is the iPad in the Enterprise forum. You'll be more likely to get help with your issue if you ask in the appropriate iPod forum.

It's hard to say what the problem is. One recomendation would be to drop usage of the database connectivity toolkit as it adds a lot of complexity and limits your options for troubleshooting problems. There is an alternative here. Read the discussion and download the drivers...
Also, what kind of database are you connecting to?

Ink not coming out from new cartridge

I purchased the color and black cartridge from HP store. After installation the black ink is not coming out. Tried and checked all software settings and it seems the cartridge have some problem. Contacted customer service but no help. Can any one help?
It is a 3515 deskjet all in one printer and printer head is not detachable.

Hi jkoley, and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are running into black ink issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges, and performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend utilizing the steps in this document on Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

BPM Collect pattern is not coming out and it is in loop.

Hi Experts,
We have implemented a BPM Collect Time pattern and it was working fine in Dev and QA environments perfectly. Couple of days back we have some server issue in Dev environment and Basis team has done some thing with File Storage. From that time, all our BPM's were not working in Dev. It is showing that the block is waiting for some event to trigger and it is in Process state. We have set it for 5 min and block is not coming out from loop. We exported the code to QA and it is working in QA. We tried SWU3 transaction as given in the below forum and it didn't help us.

Some one please help us.
