Sound only with headset plugged in

Need help. The sound on my computer only works if the headset is plugged in. I have been thru ALL the microphones, none are muted, the device manager, all are working properly. Downloaded the updates, etc. Hopefully, there is just a check mark somewhere that activates the desktop speakers.
Under speakers, when there is music playing you can see the green bars go up and down, but you do not hear anything.
My computer: pavilion elite m9517c pc.

Hi rar,
Be sure to plug your speakers into the green port on the back of your PC. It's marked #9 in the below image.
Now unplug your headset and see if you have sound.
Be sure that the Realtek HD Sound Manager has detected your speaker connection. Look at the port indicated by the red arrow. It should be a bright green.
Are you trying to use the speakers in your monitor or are they separate speakers?

HP Envy 23 touchsmart windows 8.1 computer has no sound only with headset

Computer had working sound 2 days ago. But now it will only work with a headset. I have checked and tested and says every thing is working fine. I am at a loss.
Thanks,

Hello retired_gramma,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that a few days ago you had sound and now you only have sound when you plug in your headset and that you are running Windows 8.1. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8), which will walk you through restoring your computer back to before this happened. As you stated it is only 2 days I would go back a week. This will not affect your personal files, but it will affect any applications or settings that have been installed or changed in the past week.
Please re-post if you require additional assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

L3450: Sound only with headset

Hi!
I have the I-Trigue L3450 2.1 Speaker System.
Last weekend I raised the volume I think a little bit too high (but it was not even half of the possible volume).
So after that, I have no Sound from my Speakers and from the subwoofer.
When I put a headset in the cable volume remote controll, I got sound in my ears.
Does anyone know, what's the problem here?
Thanks in advance!

My ipad 3 does'nt sound only with headphones

my ipad 3 wifi doesn't sound only with the headphones it sound all aplications, my ipad have only 20 days of purchase

I am trying to understand your post but it is a bit difficult for me to interpret exactly what you are saying - and the point of confusion for me is where you seem to be saying that apps DO have sound. If that is true, that would rule out systems sounds being muted.
However - did you check to see if you have system sounds muted. You can flip the side switch and see if the sound returns or double tap the home button and swipe to the right in the task bar at the bottom and check the software switch all the way to the left.
If your iPad is less than 3 weeks old, I would make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and ask them to evaluate your iPad. Something is obviously wrong with it and if they cannot get the speakers to work properly, they will replace the device.

Ringer rings through speaker when on silent with headset plugged in?

I was in physics today listening to music on my phone and it was on silent and I had my headset plugged in. I use the Apple earphones that came with the phone, I heard it ringing through my earphones, but the. I heard my teacher ask who's phone was ringing, so I took my ear phones out and it was mine ringing. It was honestly really embarrassing. Why did it ring through the speakers when it was on silent with the ear phones plugged in?

No one huh?

C3-00 answering calls only with headset

Hi,
I don't know what happens, but know I only can answer calls with the headset on. Eventhough headset is not plug, the phone acts like if it was. The headset icon always appears in the screen. I just tried to restart the phone. I took the battery off and when the phone restart the icon is not there, as soon as I plug the headset, the icon appears and it continues there til I turn off the phone and start everything again.
If somebody know how to fix this up, pls let me know.
Thank you.
CB
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like your device is not working like it should. Try restoring factory settings by typing *#7780*. This will boot the SW, but will not delete any files from the phone. But just make it sure I advice making a back up with Ovi suite > Tools > Back up.
You can also try to reinstall the SW with Ovi suite > Software update > reinstall SW.
If the issue still persist, try to format phone with the code *#7370#. This will erase the phone memory, so make a back up first!
The last option unfortunately is to take it to the nearest Nokia Care point.

Why gives me NIGHTLY and the latest ADOBE FLASH PLayer sound only with a white screen when trying to watch a video offered by any newspaper, e.g.?

System Win7 Prof
Nightly 13.0a1
Latest Adobe Flash Player
Whenever I try to open a video browsing any news-paper,
I receive sound but no picture to the sound;
the picture is a white screen only.

Hello ToriTorres,
You question seems quite general, and this is a CQ5 dedicated forum dealing with CQ specific questions. If your problem is linked with Adobe Flash Player, please try to post in the corresponding forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer

Sound volume with Flash plug-in much lower than IE or Chrome, can barely hear anything. This just started happening last week, did something change?

When I play Flash videos, i.e. YouTube, the sound is barely audible. I have to crank my speakers way up to hear anything. When I open the same video in IE or Chrome, I don't have that issue, the sound is normal. This just started happening about a week ago, and I have the latest plug-in. I also only have one version of Shockwave on my plug list.

Sound only with headphones

I have sound when I use headphones but when I unplug them, I lose sound and several apps tell me me i have no volume. If I hit the home button twice the vloume bar comes up and it functions properly with headphones. As soon as I unplug the headphones the volume bar disappears. Everything worked fine until I installed splashpoint. I have delted this app and stilll don't have sound.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

If this did not solve the issue - restart or reset your iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

HT2729 My ipod 4th generation is no longer playing videos. It plays the sound only with message "TV connected- This video is playing on TV"?

My IPOD 4th generation has stopped playing videos. It will play the audio only and displays message "TV CONNECTED" "THIS VIDEO IS PLAYING ON THE TV". Don't know how to re-adjust video setting to what it was prior to this happening.

Do you have an Apple TV? An iPod can AirPlay to an Apple TV.
Can you provide a screen shot of what yo are seeing? Also what specific app is it?

A215 no sound from speakers, but sound with headsets

I have two A215-S5818 Satellite laptops. One is a XP Pro build and one is a Windows 7 Ultimate build. Neither unit has sound from the speakers but have sound from a headset. The Win 7 versions has sound from the speakers if the headset is plugged in. The XP unit only has sound via headsets.
The device manager is happy with both builds. I have no flags or unknows or question marks in the device manager.
Both units have every update from Microsoft. The Win 7 unit is IE7 and the XP unit is IE8.
Have gone to Realtex site for the driver downloads without success. Have purchased a recovery disk that included XP, VIsta WIn 7 drivers. No help here.
My Bios is 1.0. I have seen two motherboards destroyed by BIOS update via windows and via a bootable CD.
Going to BIOS 2.0 is not an option unless Toshiba will do it and back it up with a new MB if it fails. In fact I have sent one MB to a Toshiba qualified repair facility and they were unable to update to BIOS 2.0
Both units run nicely and all I want is sound from the built in speakers.
Anyone run into this headset only issue?

Hello, yes I have a new windows 7 home premium satellite L505, it has never had sound on the laptop speakers. A tiny sound indefinable without speakers from my old PC. Headphones are the same..no sound definable. I have called Toshiba 5 times, got hung up on 4. with the promise if the call was lost they would call back..that did not happen. The last contact there said wipe it out start over. The speakers have been the same since it came out of the box. I really do not want to lug speakers with my laptop. I have looked at every download, fix that I knew, so far the speakers have to go where the laptop goes..so much for wireless..and customer service. I certainly would like some help from someone. The 4th person had me uninstall the realtek sound, so at the end of that call I did not even have that, I had to restore to get it back. I was told it would cost to get this fixed, or replaced.

Sounds still plays through speaker with headphones plugged in

I've recently been having problems with my sounds. I would plug headphones into one of headphone jacks on my HP dv6tse laptop and i would hear sounds through my headphones as well as my speakers. So basically I'm getting sounds from my headphones as well as my speakers at the same time when only my headphones should be getting the sound. Is this a hardware problem or some kind of settings problem? Please help!

same issue, i have a hp pavilion dv6 6169sl
