When I plug my headphones in the my laptop I still have sound from my speakers and headphones

Hello, I'm having trouble with the sound on
my laptop and it's only just started to happen.
When I plug my headphones in the my laptop my speakers don't get muted, So I
have sound from my speakers and headphones at the same time.
I've reinstalled the drivers and this didn't work, So I'll hoping you can help me.
HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC, Product number A8M62EA Windows 7 64-bit

Here's the trick (and it's been verified on 3 other Win 7 systems):
1) R click on your speaker icon, select 'Recording Devices' (if you have the sounds dialog up, it's the 2nd tab 'Recording')
2) R click in the white space, be sure that BOTH "show disabled devices" AND "show disconnected devices" are checked.
3) **Now this step is going to take a little bit of thought for each computer being used: on my laptop (HP Elitebook) I get a device "Stereo Mix", ENABLE this device.
4) Click on Properties, go to the tab 'Listen'
5) Check the box "Listen to this device", also change the drop-down box below "Playback through this device" to be your second audio device
-- To verify that you've done this correctly, go back to the Sound dialog tab Playback, you should now see both of your audio devices showing the little green graphs moving.
Here are the specific settings that I have on my laptop, maybe this will help with your settings:
Speakers- GN9350 (Default Communications Device)
Speakers- SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Default Device)
Stereo Mix- 'Listen' feature points this device to my GN9350 headset.
Let us know how it goes!

Sound from both Speakers and headphones at the same time

I have a Pavilion Sleekbook 15-b003ee
recently i have a very annoying problem anytime i plug in a headphone on the sound comes from both the laptop speakers and the headphones
I tried the following
1- Changed the driver tried both versions on the HP support
2- changed the headphones tried 3 of them and the same problem
3- tried the Microsoft HD Audio driver (no sound could comeout from the headphones)
4- tried disabling the communication device from the control panel while the speakers is on and vise versa
5- A system restore
still the same problem and i think it maybe an malfunction from the hardware or the headphones jack port on the laptop but how does the sound still come out from the headphones ?
I thought of buying a USB headphones but the laptop is no more than 3 months old so i think i still on warranty and such if it is a hardware problem , I am currently in Egypt bought the laptop from Egypt also

Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers. I downloaded Combo directly. I followed all the advice from the Apple community

Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers. I downloaded Combo directly , without using "Actualización de software". I followed all the advice from the Apple community. Can I use bluetooth speakers to solve this problem? My Computer: iMac. 20-inch, Early 2008. Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

You may need to reset PRAM/NVRAM.
First, check that the jack is clean. Put some alcohol on a plug and insert it a few times. See if that helps.
is your output both digital and analog? If digital, is the red laser light visible in the socket? Do not look directly into the socket when checking.
If all else fails try a PRAM reset:
Reset your computer’s PRAM
A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
DO NOT HOLD These keys beyond the second startup sound!
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

No sound from internal speakers or headphones when using ART Tube interface

Hi - can anyone help with this...
I have no sound fromthe internal speakers or headphones when using my new ART Tube USB interface - I get a nice loud recording level from the ART but cant monitor - in Logic 7.2
Audio hardware interface in logic 7.2 is set to USB Codec - just like the ART manual states
And the SOUND control panel is set to speakers/headphones
But no love...
Any comments welcomed
Si2

By default, OSX will only let you have one interface active at any one time - so if you specify the ART as your interface to get sound in, you don't have access to your regular interface to listen to it.
But there is a workaround - open the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, create a new "Aggregate Device", and add both your required audio interfaces to it.
Now, back in Logic, select the aggregate device you created as the audio device, and now all your inputs and outputs from both interfaces are available - the aggregate device acts as one big interface containing both your hardware interfaces.

No sound from internal speakers or headphones

Hi
Today I bought a new mac book pro (retina display model) and I have had a weird problem -
There is no sound from either the internal speakers or when i plug headphones in.
I can change the volume levels, the sound preferences panel shows the internal speakers
and when I plug headphones in, it also shows them listed. The mute box is not checked.
I ran garrage band and it also allows me to choose the internal speakers as an output source.
Everything the computer is telling me seems like it can use the speakers and headphone socket BUT
there is never actually any sound???
If it was a hardware fault, surely the computer wouldnt be able to detect the internal speakers or know when the headphones are plugged in.
So im assuming its a software issue? I tried using the usb port next to the headphones socket and that worked fine (usb mouse) so the whole board
isnt broken there.
Any ideas?

Just bought it?

Headphones in iMac still allows sound from internal speakers?

I have a pair of headphones that I like to use for night time so I don't disturb other, they're AMGs and pretty good, so even during the day time I sometimes like to use them on well produced Vimeo productions for example as they reproduce better sound and you easily pic a lot more things up that standard iMac speakers miss.
But, it's a hassle. I have to plug them in round the back every time, and of course un-plug them to get sound again. It seems like it's a hardware thing. I would like to leave them plugged it but either have some software that will auto route e.g. YouTube video to the headphone and have everything else play from the iMac's internal speakers, or have it manual configurable from software, or even a physical splitter, but my feelings are that once the 3.5mm jack is inserted then the Mac automatically stops any sound from ever coming through.
Is there anything could do to make this happen please?

Okay, I found the solution: simply put, whenever a 3.5mm male connector is inserted into the socket (assuming it has some headphones at the end of the chord) the iMac will automatically cut the internal sound, it's a hardware thing. So the solution lies in importing/exporting sound via another system and the cheapest way is a simple in/out audio USB connector that can be had for about £2.
This then allows one to use the built in option-click action on the sound icon on the task bar at the top of the screen (if made visible in System Preferences) to toggle between the internal speakers or headphones from the OS.

I have the current version of iTunes and when I plug my device in, the library says that I have songs on my device that are not showing up on my iPod touch. How do I get these songs on my device?

On iTunes, my library says that I have a lot of songs on my device that do not show up on my actual iPod touch. These songs disappeared from my iPod when I plugged it in, then they showed back up, but with a red square and circle, and now, after syncing and autofilling, they are gone again. How do I get these songs from my iTunes "ON MY DEVICE" library to my actual device?

SOLUTION: Some Music Won't Play After Upgrading Your iPhone To iOS7
Red square in red circle cannot play songs
My iPod isn't playing certain songs. Help?

HT1386 Why doesn't my iphone show up when I plug it into my computer? I do not have a listing for "devices" and thus cannot backup my iphone contacts etc.

I am trying to backup my iphone contacts through itunes... Oddly, my iphone 4 is not visible under 'Devices' when I plug it into the USB port on the computer. It doesn't seem that I will be able to connect to or access or change anything unless my phone shows up as a Device in Itunes on the left side. Suggestions? I have tried two different ports and neither permits my iphone to show up as a device in itunes.
Appreciatively,
Donna

I will go back to step one on your support link that suggests checking the USB cord. or connectors I use it to charge the phone all the time but the phone does not register as a device in my computer either. I tried all four ports. Thanks. You have me off on a new path... hopefully to find a solution.

Sound playing through speakers and Headphones at the same time...

Hi everyone, I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 S5849. It is only about 6 months old. Now whenever I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, sound keeps playing through the speakers and in the headphones at the same time. Also the speakers do always have a crackling sound like they are blown. I have been trying to fix it for awhile now but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello again, sorry that the driver did NOT resolve the issue. What I suggest we try is the Support Assistant. This will do a scan on your entire computer and if the computer does have a issue it will find it and show you how to resolve the issue.

Macbook Pro no sound from internal speakers or headphones

I have a macbook pro (mavericks). There is no audio coming from the internal speakers and when headphones are plugged in there is still no sound. There is no red light coming from the headphone port either. Any advice?

Try plugging the headphones in and out 10-12times, while toggling the volume and mute buttons.
Have you tried cutting the end off a cotton swab and GENTLTLY swabbing the the headphone swabbing the port 9;00 clock to 3:00 clock, there is a micorswitch that some times gets "hung up" and this can free up the witch.
Also you can try going to to applications/utilities/ Audio MIDI Set up. app and see if you can select built in there.
To get more aggressive you can try these options:
Close all windows and quit all applications.
Click "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select Computer, then Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences
Open "Audio" folder.
Right click these two files and select "Move to Trash".
com.apple.audio.DevicesSettings.plist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Close the window. Restart the computer
Go to Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup/Built-In Output/Output and in Format change from the default 2ch-24bit integer to any other format (say, 2ch-32bit float). This should activate the headphone jack. I moved the format back to the original 2ch-24 integer setting and the headphones continued working. So it seems that (for some reason) the original default setting does not recognize a headphone being inserted, but after performing this "resetting" it seems to come to its senses and behave properly from then on
if these do help your issues, please post back, there may be other options.
It is best to start a new post, rather adding on to an already existsting, as you will get more people looking at it, and thus offering more advice/sugestions.

No sound in internal speakers and headphones

I am having problems with my sound. There is no sound through both headphones and internal speakers. I have tried using the Audio MIDI setup, and still no luck. In MIDI it says headphones and internal speakers when I plug and unplug the headphones. If there are any solutions or any helpful threads that I have over looked please let me know thank you.

Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums & Macs!
Are there headphines plugged in that don't work?
If no headphones, but it says that is a choice, then something is preventing the headphone jack from closong likely, might carefully use a tooth pic to gently poke around in it, or use a headphones to test.

Sound coming from both speakers and headphone,

The speakers and the headphones working at the same time , I am not sure what case this problem , please support.
