Sound stays on laptop

When I plug in my Macbook Pro, with Lion (And when SL) my external mac monitor is active. My laptop is on its stand, closed.
The sound stays with the laptop. I can go into the system prefs and change it to the monitor, but shouldn't it happen automaticly?
What am I missing?

Sorry I don't know the answer however I did notice you are posting a MacBook Pro question in a Intel iMac forum. You may want to repost in the correct forum.

Satellite A505-S6973 - No sound of my laptop speakers

I own an A505-S6973 and today i lost volume on my speakers. When i jack in my headphones i get sound but without the headphones plugged in, I get no sound of my laptop speakers.
I checked device manager for software problems but everything is cleared, also, my volume is fully on.
I attempted a restore, but was unsuccessful, also i tried to uninstall and reinstall value added package but when attempting to launch the software after extracting it an error[0x8146045B] signals itself.
This morning everything seemed to work fine, the only thing i can think of, i removed windows media my network places sharing.
If this is the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re-install it. Also, the value added package issue, is there anything that can be done, because the buttong to enable/disable touchpad when depress nothing happens but if i use the function key with F9 it enables/disables.
I really hope someone can help me, it seems this is an unlucky weekend for me.

As I see, the VAP utility makes problems. The next step I advise you to do a little bit dangerous as you have to remove some elements in registry, but before
1. Make the ,,Hidden Folders,, to be seen. (Control Panel- Appearance and Personalization-Folder Options (click the , show hidden files,, and then choose ,, Show hidden files, folders,, and Apply)
2 Go to C:\Users\, here you should choose your profile name, in my case it ,, jeka,, \AppData\Local\temp\TC20020600B.temp\ Here you should see TVAP folder, remove it completely
3 Run the ,,regedit,, that found in Windows folder. Choose ,, Edit,, -,,Find,, and type in ,,toshiba value added,, In left Column you will see highlighted folder with value like 8FFFC660FB2109346A37579FE5FF81E8, delete it. restart computer.
Then, start Tvap exe, it should work now. But you should be careful working with registry, don't delete anything other

Hi,
Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Display Devices - make a note of the hardware listed here i.e. ATI, NVidia or Intel.
Next, connect your notebook via HDMI to your Tv. Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click once ( just to highlight the entry ) the HDMI Output that has the same name as your display adapter and then click the Set Default button - see if you now have audio.

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker. Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

Hi there Lutostan,
It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

You can obtain service (if needed) through an Apple-Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store please make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59154.exe
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, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp52501-53000/sp52791.exe
When the Chipset reinstallation has completed, shutdown 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 f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, 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.

After attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

after attaching the headset to the audio jack, i get sound from the laptop speaker

This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

I am not getting any sound from my laptop. I have a Pavilion dv7 with beats audio.

I am not getting any sound from my laptop.

Try a hard reset.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on

If still no sound,
Go to the link below.Enter your Product Number as listed on Service Tag attached to bottom of notebook (may be under battery). You can also get the Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key. After entering PN, click Next ,then choose Software & Drivers.On the next page use the dropdown to select your OS (probably Windows 7 64bit). A list will populate with drivers. Download & install the latest Audio driver.

I hear buzzz type sounding from my laptop. What is wrong with it?

I hear buzzz type sounding from my laptop. What is wrong with it?

I have the same problem with my 5th-generation iPod! In addition to the red-slashed circle, my iPod will not show up in iTunes nor will it charge until I forcefully eject it and reset it.
Here is how I have learned to "fix" this problem over the years: make sure your iPod is fully charged before you try to plug it into your computer. The red-slashed circle comes on initially but you'll see that there's activity going on pretty quickly. The key seems to be having the iPod completely charged; even the slightest bit of depletion of battery makes everything go wrong.
If this fails, make sure iTunes is already open before you plug in your fully charged iPod. Finally, if this fails as well, disconnect your internet connection, have iTunes open, and then plug in your fully charged iPod. These last ideas are probably more placebo than truly useful, but I have had luck with them when I'm ready to throw my iPod and laptop out the window.
Hope this helps.

I can not hear any sound on my laptop .

i can not hear any sound on my laptop .pls help but i can see icon of sound and i already reinstall its hp pavilion dv6

HI. =)
All you have to do is update your sound/audio driver. (especialy if you just got a BIOS update, if you haven't, just proceed)
first, make sure nothin's attached to your laptop.
go to hp.com -> support & drivers - drivers & software - (put in your product name/number - you can find that at the bottom of your laptop) - at the drop down, select widows 64 bit (mostly) then hit next - at step 2, 'SELECT A DOWNLOAD', choose driver - audio - click the first blue link and hit save - after saving, your laptop will prompt you to run it. hit run.
then your laptop will reset, and it should produce sound.
**your kudos will be appreciated.

I can't ncrease the sound on my laptop, the button seems to be ether stuck or not connecting

have tried to ncrease the sound on my laptop, when I bought the laptop was able to inccrease and decrase the volume. however, this last week I have been unable to do so, the button seems either to be stuck or it is not connecctong to the component inside to increase volume, as watch tv and films on the laptop this nadequacy has become an issue, is there something I can do myself?

If both the Mac Pro and the G4 Power Mac are unable to access this particular website, the issue is most likely with the Actiontec, which is a combination modem & router, and not either Macs.
Sometimes just a simple power recycle of your networking hardware will resolve the problem.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the Actiontec and computers.
Power-up the Actiontec; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
Both Macs should now be able to access web sites on the Internet. I just tested it myself and had no issues connecting so it's definately not a configuration issue with your Macs.
