Speaker wouldn't mute when headphone plugged in

I've search the forum for this problem and found several solutions but none if them work.
This is my problem...
One day the building I've stayed been struck by lighting and my laptop suddenly shutdown. When I turned it back on the problem occurs. My laptop speaker wouldn't mute when the headphone plugged in. I've try reinstall the driver and plugged in a new headphone still wouldn't mute and the sound from headphone only from one side. Is this hardware problem and can it be fix or this problem can be solve just by tweaking?    
My laptop is Compaq Presario CQ45 107AU

Hello ricky_waldron,
Your speakers do not mute when headphones are connected.
Go to HP.com and update the BIOS and chipset driver.
Here is a link to the updates.
Since you have already done a recovery, it may be the hardware not working correctly.
You may need to call HP and have the laptop sent back for repair.
Here is a link to a phone number to call HP and see what options they have.
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

  • Internal Mic is mute when headphone plugged in

    Hi,
    My laptop is Toshiba R30 with Windows 7 SP1.
    The internal mic of the laptop will be mute automatically when ever I plug in my headphone, which doesn't have a mic in it. Is there any way that I can use the internal mic of the laptop while using my headphone?
    Thanks!

  • My iPad Prefs are set for the side switch to Mute; but the speaker does not mute when the switch is moved down.

    My iPad Prefs are set for the side switch to Mute; but the speaker does not mute when the switch is moved down.

    That setting only works for system sounds like push notifications (emails and the like), some game sounds, keyboard clicks and things like that. If you want to mute all sounds you still have to turn the volume all the way down with the volume switch.

  • Satellite P745-S4217 - internal speakers don't mute when headphone or speaker plugged in

    This didn't used to be the case.  Is there something I need to do to make the internal speakers mute when I am using headphone or external speakers?
    Thanks

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You never did answer one of my questions.  Did your external speakers ever work and the internal speakers mute as they should?  If the answer is yes, do a System Restore back to a time when they worked properly. Type System Restore in the Start/Search box , hit Enter and follow instructions.  If the answer is no, do a System Reset as follows.  Turn off computer. Remove all attachments and battery. Press and hold the Power button for 15 seconds.  Attach Power and insert battery.  Start computer and tap F2 at the Toshiba splash screen to get in BIOS.  Press F9 to setup system defaults. Answer Yes. Press F10 to Save Configuration Changes and Exit.  Answer Yes to complete the process.  The computer will restart.

  • DV9720US - Speakers won't mute with headphones plugged in.

    I am running XP instead of the Vista it came with. I have all the drivers but one work..(other devices> unknown device) with yellow !?  I can't use my headphones because speakers won't mute. Is this a hardware problem, or something electronic broken, like a metal tab inside that senses when headphones are plugged in? I'd really like to fix this because I use at school all day! Thanks ahead of time....Matt

    Which sound driver are you using? Conexant or realtek?

  • IPhone 5 and Bang & Olufsen earset 3i headset: mutes when I plug it in

    Hi all
    I've done a sweep of the discussion boards can find no similar issue:
    As the title says, when I plug in my B&O earset 3i into a 64Gb iPhone 5, the volume goes to silent/mute.
    Has anyone else had the same experience and is there a way for me to stop this from happening?
    Thanks in advance
    Graeme

    For those of you who bump into  this question in the future:
    The workaround I ended up using is that before I play a track after the headphones are plugged in, I increase the volume. Mildly annoying but not a deal breaker.
    Oh, and the mute occurs when I use the headphone remote not when I plug in teh headset, as my question implied.

  • Macbook Pro way too loud when headphones plugged

    Hi
    I've always had this problem, when I plug in any type of headphones, I must lower the volume to one - max two - "blocs" of volume, otherwise my head explodes. I unplug them, and I have normal volume range with the external speakers.
    Anyone has that problem too??
    thanks

    Anthony,
    Have you learned anything more about this problem? I have the exact same issue. Headphones that work fine on an older Macbook Pro are deafening on the new (Mar. 2008) model.
    I haven't had time to go down to an Apple store and see if it is the same on all machines.

  • [SOLVED]No sound in speakers when headphones plugged in since 2.6.38.3

    As I already mentionned in another thread, since the kernel26 2.6.38.3 update I'm not getting any sound in my speakers when my headphones are plugged in the front panel of my desktop.
    I'd like to get sound in my speakers even when headphones are plugged in.
    I was directed at some "Headphone jack sense" option, but there is none in my alsamixer (even after pressing F5.) Can't find anything anywhere on the web either. Most people want to disable sound in their speakers when their headphones are plugged in... Not me.
    I'll try to see if I can find the annoying commit somewhere, but meanwhile if someone has an idea, that would be great!

    You realize that the speakers are supposed to get muted if you plug some headphones in the headphone jack, if that doesn't happen it is considered a bug as the new jack sense ... stuff ... is supposed to emulate the old and reliable hardware switch inside the jack. You may be able to pass some option to some module to override this though since everything is done in software now.

  • Built-In Mic not working when Headphones plugged in?

    I'm currently using the 13 inch Macbook Pro with the latest software. I noticed just today that the built-in microphone that comes with the laptop will not work when I plug in my headphones. However, as soon as I remove them, they resume working.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Use headphones that also have a microphone.

  • Disabling iTunes from automatically starting when Headphone plugged in

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Yosemite Ver 10.10.1. Whenever I plug in my Apple headphone it in, the iTunes automatically starts and I would like to disable the same. Some times its very much annoying where in, even if I am talking on FaceTime using my head phone, (I am guessing some small movements of headphone triggering this) the  iTunes starts automatically and the songs start to play during the FaceTime call.
    Does any one know how to disable the iTunes from not starting up automatically, whenever a Headphone is inserted into Mac. I can start iTunes whenever I want like any other application. But I just don’t want any automatic starting of iTunes, when I plug the headphone! Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks!

    I think the following solution seems to work:
    + Go to the  - System Preferences - Users and groups //Need admin privilege and unlock to edit etc.
    + Remove iTunes from Login Items
    + Click Login Items
    + then select iTunes Helper and then the - to remove the application
    + Force quit the iTunes if it was already running
    Problem did not seem to reoccur in my case. I have not restarted the mac but it seemed to work! Try yours and update please.

  • No sound except when headphones plugged in

    I just noticed that there is no sound on my phone except with earphones. The phone calls but I can't hear anything. I just started noticing this today. Alarm and timer sounds are okay.

    I have had this problem more than once, and from what I can tell it comes from unplugging headphones while playing music, talking on the phone or some combonation of all. What I have done to fix this is do just that, play music without headphones, plug them in, unplug them, play again etc. Just go through every possible combonation you can think of. Also if you use an fm transmitter that plugs into the docking port, then you need to use that in your tests as well. I can't tell you the right combination, cause I don't know excatly what it was to fix it, but this has happened to me twice, and I got sound back after both times.

  • Subwoofer still active when headphones plugged.

    Hi everyone,
    I've just realised that on my laptop, the subwoofer is still playing music when i've plugged-in my headphones.
    Kernel 2.6.35.4,
    Alsa 1.0.23,
    00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1)
    I don't know when this started, but I suspect a kernel update, because IIRC this was not happening when I installed Arch near the end of 2009 (that was 2.6.31 IIRC).
    Thanks to Arch Rollback Machine, I can tell it begins with 2.6.34, and 2.6.33.4 works fine (second edit: in fact, with 2.6.33.4, the subwoofer does not works at all ).
    To who must this be reported, how can I help more precisely?
    Last edited by Erus_Iluvatar (2010-09-15 09:41:56)

    I am not sure but if you enable 2.1 sound (somewhere in the configs, don't know where exactly) and if you plug in your 2.0 headphones it still uses the subwoofer. You need to switch from 2.1 to 2.0. What usually happens automatically but in your case it don't.
    Got a similar problem but not with arch linux and alsa. I solved it somehow like this.

  • MacBook speaker disabled when headphone jack is removed

    I've been having increasing difficulty getting my MacBook's speaker to work when I remove the headphone jack.
    The speaker icon goes grey, rendering the speaker 'unavailable.'  So far, I've eventually been able to restore the speaker by jiggling the jack, but the amount of jiggling I have to do before I have success with that is increasing, and I'm expecting to get to a point where it just won't happen.
    An Apple Store employee I spoke to, and claimed to be familiar with the problem, said that the repair for this involves replacement of the entire logic board.
    Does anyone know whether that's accurate?
    If so, are there any other workable fixes for this?
    I'm not eager to replace an otherwise perfectly functioning logic board just because of a faulty headphone jack connection problem.  (In fact, given my MacBook's vintage, the fact that it's well out of warranty, and the cost of replacing a logic board, I won't even be considering doing that.)
    Thanks.

    I keep a matchstick handy because the wood end is just the right size and works well to move around til you can trigger that red light to go off in the jack. 
    Just a thought, although sometimes I get tired of doing it...
    Thanks. For the time being, I can still get the speaker back by jiggling the headphones plug.  But, like you, "sometimes I get tired of doing it".  And the number of jiggles required is unpredictable and seems to be growing.
    I had also seen the following remedy, which unfortunately has not worked for me.  Maybe you'll have better luck.  Then you can retire your matchsticks.
    Is there a red light coming out of your headphone jack? If so the Mac is stuck in optical audio mode.
    Try plugging in/unplugging headphones or the following longer steps:
    Plug your headphones back in.
    Play a bit of sound through them (e.g., a song), then stop the sound.
    Make sure Preferences is quit.
    Launch Preferences and open the Sound pane.
    While the Sound pane is open and set to Headphones, pull out the headphone plug from the jack.
    It will reset itself to "Internal Speakers" and you are good to go.
