What do i do if my speakers have stopped working?

what do i do if my speakers have stopped working?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

    Though I have doubts for success, you might try a SMC reset.  It can do no harm.  Otherwise, barring suggestions from others, the Apple Store or qualified repair facility is the last option.

  • My iphone5 speakers have stopped working.  the headphones still work as does the ringer.  the phone indicates it is still in headphone mode.  does anyone know how to fix this ?

    after running i disconnected my iphone headset.  since then my iphone speakers have stopped working.  i can still listen to music using headphones and the phone ringer still works but the speakers are silent.  when i adjust the volume it indicates it is in "headphone" mode.  Any idea how i can solve this problem ?

    I have read in other threads with similar problems that cleaning the headphone jack/port seems to usually work.  The simplest method is to rapidly plug/unplug the headphones a few times.  See if that works.

  • Internal speakers have stopped working (Lenovo W500 with Win 7 Pro)

    Hi
    I have a Lenovo W500 4062-5YG... O/S: Win 7 Pro
    My sound device is a Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD.
    The problem is, that the internal speakers have stopped working all of a sudden... I think it is a hardware problem since when I hookup external speakers or headphones they produce sound... but I am no expert!
    I have done the following to try and fix it:
    Disable, then enable audio drivers
    Uinstall, then install audio drivers
    Setting the internal speakers as the default speaker source
    Restoring the system to an earlier day (where I knew that the speakers had functioned)
    None of these actions have worked.
    I actually thought I could perform a hardware test on the speakers in the "Lenovo Solution Center"... but it doesn't seem like it:-(
    So...
    How can I know for sure whether it is a hardware or software problem?
    And more importantly - How can I get my internal speakers to work?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers
    Philip

  • I have an hp dv6910us and the system speakers have stopped working. I cannot reinstall the driver.

    I have an hp pavilion dv6910us and the speakers have stopped working and no longer show as installed as a device.  I have tried reinstalling the audio device driver, but the hp website does not list a driver for my specific laptop.
    Right now it shows that I have a bluetooth audio device installed.  I have never installed this device and don't know where it came from.

    I had the exact same problem, updating updating the Mbox 2 drivers on the Avid website has fixed the problem.

    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Properties.  Click the Driver tab and then click 'Update driver'.  Select 'Browse my computer for driver software' and then select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.  Left click 'High Definition Audio Device' once to highlight it and then click the Next button to install it.
    Has this made any difference?

    Did they have you try resetting the PRAM?

    The speaker volume setting is stored in PRAM, so resetting it sometimes helps when the speakers aren't working.

  • Pavillion Laptop with Windows 7 - Speakers have stopped working but headphones do!

    Hello
    I have a Pavilion dv6 Notebook, with an AMD A8-3500M APU and Radeon HD Graphics card.  It is a Windows 7 64 bit system and was purchased in october of 2011
    The speakers on my laptop have suddenly stopped working, but external speakers continue to function.  I have tried the windows troubleshooter, resetting defaults on playback devices, and updating drivers both through the device manager and through HP Recovery manager.  I have tried uninstalling and re-installing drivers, and a hard reset ofthe computer (unplugging all devices and power sources, waiting and restarting).  I have tried System Restore to restore the system to a date before the problem.  None of these have helped.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Hi there @Rob5 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are having problems with the notebook speakers., and I am happy to help with this. From all the trouble shooting you have described it sounds like it may be that the speakers themselves may have gone bad, or the connection is loose.
    Before we look at the possible physical problem, take a look through this page first, just in case there is something you have not yet tried.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    If you are still getting now sound, then take a look through page 62 of 137 in this guide:
    HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
    That page shows how to replace the speaker assembly and the relevant part number, but before going that route, I would suggest just disconnecting and reconnecting the speakers, in case it is just a bad connection. Over time a connector can work itself loose. Just doing that may fix the problem. If not then you can call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

  • My computer's speakers have stopped working

    Started about a week ago.
    It does not make any sound at all. I ran the control panel feature and the speakers are enabled. The sound is maxed and mut is not on.  
    The test tone did not work.
    I ran the HP support assistant and it did not detect any issue.
    My sound equipment is IDT HD Audio CODEC and Intel Display Audio. Drivers: stwrt64.sys and IntcDAud.sys.
    I have a Pavlion dv7, run Windows 7.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Speakers have quit working no sound and it says they are working fine

    Speakers have quit working no sound and it says they are working fine

    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/sp55001-55500/sp55036.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, shut down 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 f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, 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.
