Suddenly no sound to speak

I've been using an X-Fi platinum without any problems for many months. I have used it in XP Home and have also been using it with Vista RC2 using a different boot dri've. A couple of weeks ago, I lost sound going to the speakers - and I have no idea why. I can plug headphones into the front dri've panel and hear sound just fine. I have tried changing the detect headphones setting in the console but nothing works at getting the sound back. The same problem exists in Vista so it can't be a driver or computer configuration problem. The speakers are properly?hooked up (analog connections). This sound like a broken hardware problem - I haven't tried disconnecting the platinum dri've panel - that will be next. Any ideas on what could have caused this?SJ

Have you ever figured out your problem? I just installed my x-fi platinum yesterday and I seem to be having the same problem right of the hop. I get sound from the front panel but not from the back of the card. When I try to connect the speakers by putting the minijack into the other line-out on the rear of the actual card I get some sound from the the subwoofer line-out but no other and most importantly not the one my 2: speakers should be plugged into.

    Hi  PhiPsiVol354
    corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
    Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
    so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
    this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
    OR
    By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
    follow this steps:
    1-  Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
       ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
    2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
    3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
    4-Menu appear , show:
       -boot from hard drive
       -boot from cd
       -load mini windows xp
    select second option ( boot from cd)
    5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
    enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
    6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and  immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
    7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
    8- the system restart and enter to windows .
    9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
    Good luck
    I hope this will solve your  problem.

  • Suddenly no sound coming from my iMac.

    I was listening to iTunes and all of a sudden the sound stopped. I have external speakers hooked up. I restarted, still no sound from external speakers, although startup chime sounds through internal speaker. I know my external speakers are working, as I tried using Magic Jack and got full sound. Please help.

    Take a look at your sound preferences in your system preferences.  Click on the output tab and make sure you have your external speakers selected. 

  • IPhone suddenly no sound during phone conversation!  Help!

    Hi all,
    Recently my iPhone suddenly no sound during phone conversation, can't hear any sound from the other side. However if i choose 'handfree' during call engaging then it's ok for external speaker. Also listening music is ok...

  • Suddenly no sound in Youtube

    I'm using MacOs 10.6.8. Flash player 11.8.800.168. For no apparent reason suddenly the sound doesn't work in Youtube. I turned the sound On, Sound off, On again, restarted the computer, Deinstalled Flash player, Installed again, tried turning of/off the settings (storage), installed in Firefox the add-on 'youtube flash to html 5'. Nothing works. I use Firefox 24 and safari 5.1.10. Sound in vimeo works fine, but apparently that doesn't use flash.(?)

    That's because the sound is now muted, by default, on all Youtube videos.  Whether this is a glitch on Youtube's part or was done deliberately by them, no one knows, since Google, which owns Youtube, hasn't released any information about this to the general public.  (They HAVE acknowledged that the problem is on their end on the various Google "help" forums,.)
    In any event, to un-mute the volume, hover your cursor over the very tiny and hard to spot speaker icon which appears in the menu bar of the video screen.  (It will have an "x" by it indicating the volume is muted.)   A volume slider control will then appear next to the speaker when you move your cursor in the area.  Click on the slider and move it to the right.
    ALSO SEE:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/5738852#5738852  for an image of what I'm talking about.
    Depending on your cookies settings, etc., you may have to do this for every video you watch.

  • My phone was sitting on the table, with nothing turned on, and all of a sudden it sounds like there is air coming out of my speakers.

    My phone was sitting on the table, with nothing turned on, and all of a sudden it sounds like there is air coming out of my speakers.  It does this for 1 minute straight, then will stop. When I pick it up, then set it back down, it does it again.
    HELP!!!

    No nothing will show up on the screen.. If I push the 'home' center button it continues doing it, same with the sleep/wake button.
    I thinking it may be static out of my speakers --but I don't understand why all of a sudden it is dong this. I have had no problems with this phone, until now.

  • MuVo V100 suddenly distorts sound output, hates vocalists

    9MuVo V00 suddenly distorts sound output, hates vocalists Greetings. I have a MuVo V00, which until quite recently has worked according to specifications as desired. After a period of nonuse, upon reinstatement it showed a global distortion in sound output, resulting in--impressi'vely--vocal frequency-range portions of files to be suppressed. Never mind that some music was improved in this way--it is an error that needs rectification, and unfortunately MuVo V00 models are past the End of Service Life.
    I have downloaded the firmware patcher, and reapplied the latest firmware (which I had already had on the device, but consensus in various problem threads here leads one to believe that refreshing the firmware is a borderline panacea). No good. Swapped batteries on a hunch, no good. Swapped headphones, no good. Checked the files that are actually on the disk, they sound like they ought when played through the computer's means. I'm low on ideas, and the last person who asked this question here did not receive a reply. Anything spring to mind?

    Try double tapping the movie clip itself when inserted in the timeline and ensure that sound is on on the actual clip on the movie time line.

  • TS5180 No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2

    No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2

    I have this problem too, .
    I upgraded my iPhone4 today. Immediately my phone is defunct, and I cannot find any workaround listed anywhere online for the phone, only for the iPad2.
    Reset All Settings as per iPad2 advice had no effect except to make me have to re-enter all my settings again.
    The volume bar is greyed out in Music settings, and has no visible point on the bar where the volume is defaulted to.
    The greyed out bar doesn;t change when the volume buttons are pressed.
    However, sometimes the ringer volume logo pops up and changes when I do this, but not always.
    However when I call the phone, the ringer is always at full volume, as it was immeditely prior to upgrade.
    When I press either up or down volume button the ringer silences completely, immediately, and cannot be resurrected by any manouvers.
    Only another call will make the ringer sound.
    When I answer the call, the phone is mute though the mute button is not highlighted.
    Toggling the mute makes no difference.
    Selecting Speaker mode makes no difference - it is mute.
    Selecting either up or down volume buttons has no effect.
    Using the Jack output is silent.
    I cannot hear music, youtube videos, BBC news clips, or any alerts.
    Vibrate is still working.
    Trying not to get angry again with another Apple "UPGRADE" disaster - but frankly - I can't even make or receive a phone call - is this fixable???
    PLease does anyone know how to dothis?
    BTW, being iPhone 4, of course the Home button doesn;t work, so anything involving the Home button must be able to work with the Accessibility Home Button software.
    Desperately: How do I downgrade to previous iOS 6 last version?

    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.
