The speakers worked correctly between the update of El Capitan two weeks ago and today.  I did not any changes to the system since then.

The sound preferences pane shows only the internal speakers as an output option.  The computer works properly in all other respects.

I tried to reboot, reset the NVRAM, connecting headphones and Bluetooth reset via the Debug menu.  It seems the main symptom of the problem is the absence of Bluetooth as an output on the sound preference pane option, but I couldn't find any discussion about it.  (I assumed that Bluetooth speakers would be present as an option, although it does not mention preference help its component.)

Try resetting the SMC... might help, can't hurt.

  • 5.1 surround Sound speaker system does not work in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit edition

    My problem is about the same as other users who cannot get their surround sound speaker system to work properly in Windows 7.

    I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 front, 2 rear, 1 for the centre).  Connection to the RealTek HD Audio embedded is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for the front and black for the rear.

    Test the sound in Control Panel-> windows sound produces a sound on all channels and RealTek HD Audio Manager at the same time, which is the desired configuration.

    However, different applications use different channels.  IE and Firefox use the front channels, VLC/MediaPlayer uses the back.  3D games (that is to say WoW) through all channels.  In each case the subwoofer does not work.

    I tried to download the latest drivers on the motherboard (Gigabyte) manufacturers site.  I even tried the supplied RealTek drivers (even if on the Web from RealTek site which is NOT recommended).  I tried to connect the connectors of the subwoofer to the different takes (reversed black and green).

    I have experimented with the settings in RealTek HD Audio Manager and control panel-> windows Sound.  Nothing works.

    These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly well on Windows XP.

    I have 2 questions:

    one) has anyone resolved their 5.1 & Windows 7 problem something that I have not yet tried?

    (b) when will Microsoft take this issue seriously?  All Microsoft provided answers just repeat what everyone

    has already tried.

    First disconnect the cable 3 (orange, green and black) then click on Control Panel configuration-hardware and sound - Real tek HD audio manager - central tick, subwoofer and rear pair, front left and right and filling of speaker

    Then click on advance device settings.

    Select "perform front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams simultaneously" and give ok

    Plug all three pins one by one and select the appropriate option in the popup windows.

    That's all.

    You give enough information for me to get this working.   My system runs Win 7 X 64 Home Premium.   When I select 5.1 sound capacity side my 550 x Logitech speakers are not recognized.  If I select 7.1, which is the capacity of my chip Realtek chipset, I can get the two outside are activated as a "rear" speakers and can push the test tones to each of the four surrounding speakers and the combination of Center/bass via the Realtek driver.

    Regarding the "front and reading of output devices back two different audio streams at the same time" worries... I can't find this option.  There are at least two suppliers of 'control of the interfaces' assets on my system.  One is provided by RealTek, the other by Microsoft.  The access roads to these interfaces is roundabout and confusing, to say the least.

    Some compromises are in order in my humble OPINION.  I have my Pandora one stream play in an acceptable way in my small study.  Many of the source of sounds streamed to me are recorded in stereo or mono, I find myself hitting the 'matrix' on my Logitech X 550 button quite frequently.  Sometimes a more recent piece is delivered which actually looks Ok without the decoder "matrix".

    What I would really like to be able to do is to "reconfigure on the fly" between the built in speakers on my Acer Z3731 system USB bar ' All in One ' and my external Logitech X 550 popular with the ability for the presentation of "5.1 surround sound" through three sons.  When I try your procedure, I don't get separate recognition of each thread, as it is trendy and often end up with its 2.1 being eliminated in my 5.1 speakers, because somehow Microsoft has re-recognized the built-in USB port based his bar instead of the three rear wires plugged into the outlets provided by the manufacturer of the system.

    If there was ever separate 'Speakers' and 'Realtek' icons in the UI on my system, speakers are long gone and I can't get back them.  All I see is the Realtek driver.  I would like to see the two icons 'Speakers' different, I could mark "integrated 2.1" and "5.1 external '", in addition to the driver Realtek.»  How can I get these to reappear?

    Can anyone suggest a way to have two different sets of "speakers" recognized and identified in the Microsoft UI in addition to the Realtek driver?  If I could get because of this, I think that the driver would let me 'set as default' one or the other speaker set, and I 'software switching' capable of letting me choose the external speakers or integrated sound bar offers the sound.

  • iPhone Bluetooth SE sound quality

    My iPhone with iOS 9.3.1 SE knows a poor audio quality when making calls via Bluetooth when it is connected to my 2011 Toyota Prius C. It seems distorted and scratchy.

    My wife more 6s with iOS 9.3.1 IPhone doesn't have this problem, and not more than my old iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S.

    Music streaming via Bluetooth sounds great.

    I tried to reset network settings, restaurant as a new phone and remove and add it again all Bluetooth devices in my car, but the problem persists.

    Is anyone else having the same problem?

    My iPhone has the same problems and there also the iOS 9.3.1. Some days, it seems to have no problem with very little crackling, but most of the time she's so cute that I have to cut the Bluetooth to have a conversation. Certainly not something I want in a phone. It is certainly a problem of phone than my previous iPhone 6 is a/a no problem.

  • Satellite Pro A300: Bluetooth headphones sound decreases when it is connected

    Hello

    I have a pair of headphones Creative SE2300 Bluetooth that I use with my Satellite Pro A300 and its built-in bluetooth.

    They connect well and work as they should (including the A2DP and AVRCP) except that the sound cuts every 20 seconds or more for anything from a fraction of a second for a couple. Abandonment of sound is completely intermittent no apparent reason for it.

    Now earphones Creative also came with a transmitter to connect to any helmet and the connection to it works perfectly with no decline in the sound. I also connected the earphones to my phone and it used to listen to music, and once again the connection is flawless.

    So why the connection to my laptop is so bad?

    I have improved the battery Bluetooth to the last v7.00.16 (T) and my headphones are fully charged.

    Any help will be very appreciated!

    You have any other Bluetooth connections configured for example data synchronization?

  • VISTA and the new battery Bluetooth: no sound on headphones (Skype)

    Hello.

    I have a big problem: since I have updated Windows XP to VISTA I had to update the stack driver Bluetooth to the most recent available.
    Installation works very well. I can connect my headset is based. He said "plugged in and connected to Skype", but if I call someone, the sound always comes in my speakers and not via the headphones.

    Once, micro headphones listening, but now no longer works. I can press any button on the helmet, chance anything in the Options of Skyp... Nothing.
    With the old battery on XP the helmet has recognized as a Windows Audio device. He's not with the new battery. In Device Manager, two Bluetooth Audio devices are branded 'problem - driver issue '.

    I wish I could just use the old battery under Vista, but it does not work (not compatible with Vista).

    I really need help, SOON because I used to do all my calls through Skype Out.

    Greetings, your Tim

    You have a stereo headset or a monoheadset? What audio drivers have a conflict - bluetooth audio only or also audio system drivers?

  • No sound speaker

    I am a novice. I hear no sound from my speakers, not even when I turn on my laptop. There is no mute selection on my sound / volume control.

    Hello

    Have you ever sound with your machine? One test is to reinstall your system with the recovery CD. Just back up your important files and then just do a restore.
    After that, you should have sound.

    First of all I must tell you that you are very optimistic guys if you think that you will find here an expert for Toshiba European and US products market. ;)

    I can tell you that Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. are like two different companies and the philosophy of the product is completely different.

    G30 European uses the speed of the DDR2-667 memory bus. Usually the TV tuner is depending on the country and cannot be traded, but maybe in Russia is implement everything.
