Sound system of a L500 Satellite not working

The sound system of my Satellite L500 doesn`t work properly.What i mean by this is: the speakers work well and there are no problems but if i connect headphones to my laptop ,-normally would be for the speakers to stop working and the sound to be heard in the headphones only- well this doesn`t happen. The sounds is heard both in the speakers of the laptop and the headphones connected.
what should i do so that whenever i would connect headphones to the laptop the speakers will "stop working"?

Does it use the Conexant sound card?

  • The sound on my macbook pro is not working

    The sound on my macbook pro is not working. When I increase the sound, the icon appears as if everything is working, but no sound comes from the speakers. Earphones don't work either. I have tried a PRAM reset but at times, this doesn't even work. It's really frustrating having to restart my computer every time I want the sound to work, and even when I do that, theres a 50 50 chance of it working again. It generally happens after my laptop goes to sleep and I wake it up. Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it or even know what caused it?
    There are a lot of discussions around the earphone jack but I have checked that. I've tried a PRAM reset which hasn't worked, and my sound output is set to Internal speakers.
    HELP!!

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers / Headphones
        Make sure Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    4. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • The sound on my Macbook Pro does not work.

    The sound on my Macbook Pro does not work.  When we press the volume buttons, the sound icon pops up, but the bar is full with a small "Does not work" circle below it, and nothing happens when I hit volume up or done.  I went into system preferences, but there aren't any options there that I can see to change it. 

    "Unfortunately, it doesn't provide any help for a MacBook Pro, other than indicating to call Apple Support" (sic).
    Au contraire. TS1574's title and affected products are thusly:
    "Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    Products Affected Mac mini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac"
    As a result, the instructions of the article are relevant. To be sure, follow those steps, the last of which is to contact Apple.
    So, by way of reminder, here are the steps to troubleshoot the audio on your MacBook Pro. There is no red light, so the port is likely fine. Headphones work, so clearly your sound card is fine.
    1. Ensure an incorrect version of OS X is not installed. If one is, then reinstall or erase/install after backing up your data.
    2. Remove any external audio devices from USB, firewire, etc.
    3. Open Sys Prefs > Sound > Output
    If Internal Speakers is listed, select it and test again.
    If Digital Out is listed, confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
    If mute is selected, unselect it.
    If the volume slider is low, raise the volume.
    If the above simply doesn't fix it, the issue may be a corrupted plist. Apple Support might be able to help troubleshoot the issue further, per the last step of TS1574.
    I hope it gets resolved for you. Good luck.

  • Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working

    Hi, I've Mac Book Pro 15" with Retina display. Yesterday suddenly the sound output from my Headphone is not working. When I tried to solve this, I've noticed in system preferences it's jumping from Internal speakers to Head phone and vice versa. Can anyone help me on this issue please? I am using the original Apple Headset only.
    Thanks

    Tell us:
    OS X version ?
    What may have changed prior to the onset of the issue of "... suddenly... not working..." and " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ? Software added, upgraded, updated?
    what precidely do you mean by " ... preferences ... jumping from ..." ?

    I see that your Question has languished for some period of time without response. You have posted your issue in Using Apple Support Communities whose topic is 'How to use this forum software's interface, features and/or how to find what you wish'. It is a relatively low traffic and inappropriate forum for your problem. I will ask our Hosts to move it to " MacBook Pro " where it may get a more rapid response from your fellow users.

  • System sleep and shut down not working after upgrade to windows 10

    HiI upgraded my OS from win 8.1 to win 10.After the upgrades the system shutdown and sleep are not working properly.It's like when I shutdown/sleep the system ,the screen shuts down but the power key keeps glowing and also the battery keeps draining.So eachtime I have to foercefully press the power button to shutdown the system. I have updated the display driver . Please someone  suggest, what to do ?

    Hi there ,  Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! I read your post on the HP Support Forums and seen that you are having issues with your HP Pavilion 15-n260tx Notebook PC and the Sleep/Shut down options. It sounds like you might be having an issue with one of the features of Windows called Hybrid Shutdown that is used for the Fast Startup feature.  Here are a couple of links for you about Fast Startup, Hybrid Shutdown and How to Shut down your Notebook completely. They also have some troubleshooting steps in them.   1. Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10.2. Shut Down Computer in Windows 10. If those do not work, I do have some more documentation for you to read and try.  1. Shut down (turn off), sleep, or hibernate your PC - This document is from Microsoft. 2. HP Notebook PCs - Managing Power Options (Windows 8)3. HP PCs - Sleep and Hibernate Issues (Windows 10, 8) Sometimes a BIOS Update will work. You can update all of your drivers by going to the HP Driver's website or by using the HP Support Assistant. On the Driver's page there is not an update for the Windows 10 Column, but there was an update that just came out under Windows 8.1 on Aug 7, 2015 that should work for your Notebook.  Another fix that may work is to Run the Troubleshooter. Please follow this link to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.   I hope this helps!  Have a great day!

  • How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working  somehow the option were unchecked

    How can i navigate system preferences if trackpad is not working? 
    Somehow the first couple of trackpad functions were unchecked and since they are not operational I can't click or tap to turn them back on.
    I've tried shutting down and restarting and holding my hand on the trackpad for 3-4 sec. then sliding it off (another post had this suggestions).
    I don't use the function keys at all to navigate the computer so I am at a total loss if the trackpad does not work.

    Thanks for the response.
    Unfortunately this did not work - the tap to click is still not checked - and the tap function does not work.
    I did try it twice - and even used a stopwatch to be sure I got the time right.
    I noticed there is also an instruction to reset PRAM (was with the SMC reset instructions).  Is that something that may help?

  • Apple TV...how to connect to get sound through my sound system (I have a satellite receiver and also Russound system)

    Just hooked up my Apple TV.  It's great.  I have a satellite receiver and also a multi room sound system where I would like the sound to come through.  Can anyone tell me how I would connect to accomplish this.  My HDMI is connected so the sound is coming through my TV just fine.  I would like it to come through my sound system instead.  Your assistance is very much appreciated.

    Hi:
    My system is as follows.  1 only HDMI output on TV.  I purchased an HDMI switch box/unit.  I have the output from the Switch Box Unit going into my TV. 
    I have 5 inputs on the switch box unit.  2 I have used.....
    1 input from my television satellite receiver
    2 input from my Apple TV
    My other equipment is
    1 home theatre system.  This is where the sound from my TV goes through
    1 russ sound whole home sound distribution system
    When I play my Apple TV I am still getting the sound of my satellite TV.
    This suggests that your satellite receiver is connected to your "home theater system" (which I will shorten to AVR "Audio/Video Receiver") for audio. Is this correct?
    If so, then your problem is that you're switching video inputs, but not audio, and what I listed as (2) applies:
    2. You can connect the ATV to the TV using HDMI. Then you can either:
       2a. Connect the TV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
       2b. Connect the ATV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
    You've connected the ATV to the "switch box" instead of the TV, which amounts to the same thing, as you're just expanding the number of HDMI ports on the TV by using the switch. So your simplest solution is either 2a or 2b. If your TV has an audio out port, and it's the same kind of port that your satellite receiver uses, you can just disconnect the audio cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into your TV. You may have to enable "external speakers" or whatever they call it in the TV settings. This would be best, because then you wouldn't have to change inputs on the AVR to select the correct audio; you would just change inputs on the switch, and both video and audio would switch between the satellite box and the ATV, solving your problem. Note that an optical cable is required to get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (surround sound), and I mention that because it's possible you're using an analog audio (RCA) cable. So an optical cable is best.
    Beyond this, I would really need to know your TV and AVR model numbers, preferably accompanied by links to specification pages or manuals, and it would be very helpful to know how the satellite receiver is connected to the AVR for sound.

  • Sound blaster audigy ls series MIC NOT WORKING

    i have a soundblaster Audigy LS series. with an asus m2n sli delux motherboard. i also have a 9800gtx+ graphics card with 2gbs of ram. oh and i have a 3.0 dual core 64 athelon x2 processor. recently my microphone jack has stopped working, and i've changed the mic several times and the mic jack still does not work. i am honestly stumped and confused because i play alot of online games and talking is vital when your trying to communicate with teammates.

    thanks.

    Dominic,
    Sorry to ask the obvious, but have you checked that you have microphone unmuted in the Creative mixer, the volume is set high, and that the REC source is either WhatUHear or Microphone? You didn't mention your operating system, but assuming XP, in Control Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, Audio tab, is your Audigy the default recording device? And while you're there, see if the box next to "Use Only Default Devices" is selected. If not, you might want to consider putting a check mark in it.

  • Sound Blaster Rage VoiceFX Test button not working

    I purchased my creative sound blaster Tactic3D Rage headphones today and so far I am really happy with them. The only thing that bugs me is that the test button for VoiceFX in the control panel doesn't seem to work. I press it and talk through the mic, but nothing happens. I know the VoiceFX works because I tested it out through Skype test call. Only the test button in the control panel doesn't seem to work

    If you have not updated your headset's firmware you may want to give it a try as well.
    I can now confirm what the problem is. After reformatting my whole operating system I was indeed able to get the software to work properly again, however after a windows update the software will not work properly again. Confirmed same thing about the windows update on my other pc as well and the only way to get it to start working again to to do a system restore point before the last update.
    I am sorry but this is unexceptionable! So I have to stay on an old version of windows in order to use this product...
    I want a full refund please.

  • HT1267 IPhone4..Model MC603C/Ser#850441XGXA4S: I have update to 5.1.1. I am not alerted to my emails unless I tap on the mail app. Then the alert/banner appears. When I start up, the alert sounds but after that it does not work. Whats wrong?

    Ever since I updating my IPhone 4 to 5.1.1. my alert/banner does not work with my mail app. Initial startup it works but after that, it does
    not work. The only way I know there is a message by tapping on the mail app and then I hear the alert and the banner shows up. Prior
    to updating, it always worked. Is there a 'bug' in the system or is there something I am missing here.

    Yeah this was my first time connecting my phone to the computer since I went to iOS 5.0 and iCloud, so I wasn't familiar with the fact that it did not automatically create a backup on iTunes during the Sync process.  Should have right-clicked on the phone device and did a manual backup.
    But still, after restoring the backup from iCloud, I don't understand why data from certain apps got hosed (anything before October 2011, which was my last iTunes backup), while other apps' data appears to be fully intact.

  • Sound Blaster Arena Gaming Headset: Microphone not working. Please help.

    I am using Vista. I have used Creative Software AutoUpdate and all my drivers are up to date.
    So I had the set for about month before tonight I plugged the detachable microphone into it. Its as if it doesn't exist. When I go to sound/recording It shows: Headset/SB Arena Headset/Working. It is set as default. But it doesn't specifically say microphone. Just the headset stuff. The line volume is at 00. But when I talk into it... Nothing.
    A look at the Arena FAQs turned up this:
    "Are there any indications that the microphone is working?
    You should see an orange circle light at the Inline controls. If this orange light blinks, it indicates that the microphone is switched off."
    Google searched for Inline controls and I'm still not sure what they are. I've never used a gaming headset before so the trick to this could be overly simple and I'm just not seeing it. Its really starting to tick me off though. Did I just get a brick set and now its to late to return?
    I even tried uninstalling my mobo audio drivers. That didn't do anything. Tried using windows audio recorder. Nothing.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    Please download & reinstall this driver and see if helps. If it is still not working, please write to our Customer Support for further assistance.
