  • His helmet is real quiet, but external speakers are loud in Windows 7

    I use windows 7, have a headset Logitech USB, most of the time that they work but for some reason when on Youtube (sites of any browser) the headphoens are really quiet.  When I continue with the same Youtube clip on my external speakers, it's really strong.  I tried the volume to 100% and have gone through the troubleshooting sections in the Panel.  Any ideas? Thank you very much

    Original title: headphones usb on brower in the quiet

    Hello

    If it works well before? If so, remember to do recent changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

    Method 1:

    Disable all sound improvements, then check if the problem persists. Follow these steps:

    a. Open Sound by clicking on the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type sound, and then click sound.

    b. on the playback tab, click speakersand then click Properties.

    c. click the enhancements tab and then select the check box turn off all the improvements .

    d. If you don't see the tab improvements in the speakers properties dialog box, these features are not available for your speakers, and this procedure is not applicable to your computer.

    Method 2:

    Check if your headset is set to use as the default value * Communication * device instead of the default device, or if the two devices are configured by default. If so, do the default headphones, so that Windows will use only when they are connected to follow the steps below:

    a. right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, then select volume control options.

    b. put a check mark on "all devices evolving sound.

    c. make sure you have "Default uncontrolled communication device".

    d. place a check on the speakers and headphones.

    Also, follow the steps described in the following link:

  • Satellite A660 - no audio output after you connect it to external speakers

    HI everyone, this is my first post and to vary, I have a problem.

    I have a Satellite A660 11 M and when I connect to a 2.1 system audio external on 3'5 mm jack plug I hear the sound of the harman/kardon speakers, but not the 2.1 System.
    I have an Asus eeepc and works very well. Cable flawless work, is something in the configuration.

    I update the realtek and nvidia drivers and still out of work. Always when I connect the cable, realtek config screen appears and select line, but in works of asus eeepc and the computer toshiba laptop not.

    Concerning

    Try to check the settings in Realtek HD audio Manager. You can find it in the control panel.
    Open it and right on the top of the Hill you will see the folder small yellow symbol.
    Click on it and select the option enable auto popup dialogue...

    After doing this connect external speakers and do not forget the good feature is defined.

    On the same principle, it works with a headset and it works fine on my Satellite A660. When I connect headset I hear his helmet only. With other words, sound signal goes to external display only.

    By the way: I use the original Toshiba recovery image with the factory settings and there is no problem.

  • Is possible to listen to music through external speakers or headphones and computer speakers simultaneously?

    What I mean is that I can have his two pc speaker and external speakers?

    Hi Amiroof,

    ؠ Are you problems trying to play sounds of all stakeholders?

    No, it is not possible to obtain a laptop speakers and external speakers simultaneously. Computers laptops very few take simultaneous audio output by both headphones and external speakers. You may need to check with your computer manufacturer or read the manual to confirm.

    I hope this helps.

  • Help! Laptop Inspiron 1525 of external speakers

    I got my inspiron 1525 as a gift - a really cool months ago. My son uses these external speakers Dell on his older model Dell laptop and they work fine just plugging them in. Four hours earlier, he took my headphones to school and left me with the speakers to listen to Pandora on the Web while I'm working.

    I connect the speakers and I get a popup of SigmaTel Audio Control Panel with an option of two headphones and a microphone - I tried them in all three, tried to as before, rear and speakers LFE, my only option, but still I don't get all the sounds.

    The sound on my laptop works fine, the 'static' speakers when I their connection and turn on them, and they worked fine all last night on my son's cell phone so I know that they are operating.

    What should I do? Help, please!

    Thank you! :))

    P.S. I checked thing the FAQ about entering the registry and everything - but I've never done this before and the 1525 is not listed in they say them to use it for, so I am wary to try it. Also, I can't tell if my SigmaTel is the same because I can't find the Pxx - some - number type on it. Gosh, I look completely illiterate!

  • (Mid-2010) Mini Mac external speakers + Sierra

    Hello guys,.

    I wonder about this new system. Since I downloaded it my external speakers have not worked. I have Aiwa speakers before 180 system. I tried to plug in the headphones or the internal speakers and nothing happens. The speakers still work b/c I hear static and I have tried plugged into themselves and I got a your hard. So my best guess is that Siri has messed up this older model Mac compatibility. So, what gives Sierra, I love so much that I have would be to demote, however there is no more Audio download of El Capitan.

    Check your sound settings in system preferences. They could be eset with default values. Often just tilting head and on the output selections will 'wake up' the system.

    Alternatively try a Starter course if the above does not help.

    ------

    Restart in Safe Boot mode by holding down the SHIFT key at startup. Secure boot is quite slow because the operating system performs some cleanup and verification tasks, so give it time. Once you're completely connected, restart normally.

  • Satellite C655 - no sound on external speakers

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C655 and I can't not all the sounds from my speakers.

    I do, however, by small internal Laptop speakers. I looked at the configuration of the card its (Conexant CX20671) and cannot find a way to select a configuration of external speaker. I use the good line jack (not the headphone jack), so I'm really confused as to what is the problem. What is this audio driver compatible with my external speakers (Logitech Z-540)?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello

    Just a simple question: have you tested other external speakers or headphones?

    I mean if the internal speaker is working properly, it's is not a problem of playing the sound because you can hear the sound.
    So in your case I test headphones and try to update the audio driver from Toshiba Web site.

  • Qosmio G10 - no sound with external speakers

    When I connect external speakers, no sound coming from them, on the built-in speakers. Could this be a hardware problem?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    You didn't explain what happening exactly when you put the audio in Audio out port Jack. Now integrated speakers shouldn't be active any more. If they still work, I guess this little mixer of audio port which allows to switch between internal and external stakeholders can be damaged.

    If there is any attempt of trying to connect headphones or external speakers to make sure that no sound is at all.

    Good bye

  • G10 - external speakers

    Connection of the external speakers via the headphone jack is not really great because the cable gets in the way the mouse hand. Is there another way to hook up external speakers on a G10?

    Hello

    You must be a happy man that you don t have bigger problems.
    Believe me it s not a serious issue and I can t understand why you worry about it.
    However, this unit has one helmet and you can only plug the external speakers on this path.

    You'll love your laptop cool.

  • External speakers to the Qosmio G20 106

    Hello

    I know it's a stupid question! but where to plug the external speakers? Is this the same entry as the headphones?
    Thank you very much?
    JO

    Hello

    On the left side of the device, you can find the headphone jack (S/PDIF). This allows you to connect digital speakers or stereo headphones (minimum of 16 ohms). When you connect the headphones or digital speakers, internal speakers are automatically disabled.
    This Jack can also be used as outlet S/PDIF and allows the connection of the optical digital connecting devices.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A110 - no sound is heard from a PC or external speakers

    Hello

    Need your advice;
    I had a problem with my power cable, while the battery has not been installed.
    This led to accedental power off, I think that this could led to the problem of hardware in the sound card.

    I use Windows Vista SP1, and now there is no sound, despite the recent audio driver installation.

    During playback, sound, windows volume indicator moves as if the sound is really produced,
    but in fact no noise is heard of pc speakers or external speakers.

    Any ideas if this could be a software or a hardware problem.

    Thank you
    Mohamed

    Make sure that you don't cut the sound somehow. First check the FN + ESC key combination, and then go to control panel - sounds. Select properties and speakers. Volume levels, you can see a small speaker symbol. Make sure that neither the red symbol is here, which means, they are disabled.

    Another thing you can try after this, completely uninstall the audio drivers, use a record cleaning tool to get rid of possible remainders, reboot and then install the latest drivers for the sound card.

  • Satellite P200 - 14 H no sound using external speakers

    Hi all

    I removed the speakers of the socket CAP and when I reinserted the card I did not all sounds.
    When the external speakers were connected on the laptop, I would get a low noise through the speakers of the laptop.

    Now its seems to be the opposite (I hear the noise when the external speakers are not connected).
    I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing happened. I don't know if the laptop does not recognize if the plug is connected or not.

    Sometimes, I have a very low noise which is not clear and only one of the speakers (left or right).

    How can I solve this?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect other speakers or headphones to the laptop?

    I have I read this forum about a similar problem but I put t remember of what cell phone it was however, the guys moved the headphone and sound appeared again

    To my knowledge, the helmet contains a little switch that switches between the internal speakers and the external audio output

    Maybe this switch does not work properly

  • External speakers USB for Equium M50

    Can anyone suggest a decent game of taken USB supported speakers external preference with subwoofer.

    Thank you

    Hello T *.

    I noticed that your ad is also in? Accessories options &? and I don? t understand why you post again Equium article.

    USB external speakers can be used on all units and not only on your computer satellite phone. Because of this, it is reasonable to be in another section.

    Back to speakers: as you know the market there are many products and the price tells you everything about the product. I recommend the Logitech products. They produce quality products, but you should see how much you can pay. I recommend to test in the shop and you will see that the sound quality is the best for you.
