My headphones/headset will not connect to my laptop

I plugged my headphones Jack headphones and music only plays my speakers. The headphones I have are the same as those used for the iPhone, but they work on any other device and my headphones work when I click on 'test' in the audio window I found on the control panel. Basically, I can't just understand how to turn the headphones. They also do not appear in the sound devices - it's as if they can not connect at all. Please help, thanks :)

All through the various boxes you've probably restarted it inadvertently... or you have done what I've done so far and connected to the line in socket... Too easy to do on a laptop!

Good result anyway - Cheers R

    Hello

    Check with your system manufacturer support, their drivers and documentation online and ask for their
    Forums about known issues. Do the same for the manufacturer of your headset.

    Is the laptop has built-in BlueTooth? If supported these could help.

  • My Photosmart 5520 will not connect on my laptop after I updated to Windows 8. 1

    Hello, I stress a lot because my printer connect via wifi. I started University last week and I'm going to use my printer almost every day when I start getting homework and what not. The problem started when I upgraded my Sony Vaio Windows 8.1 since that day I couldn't get my printer to work. I really DIND'T pay much attention because I was on vacation and I had no use for it, but now I need more than ever. I had tried all the solutions desconecting and tries to connect but I have no chance. 'The printer could not connect to the network' this is the error I get.

    When you upgraded to Win 8.1 you would update the software and drivers to Win 8.1?

    Download and install the full software and drivers here.

  • Dell Inspiron 1545 - Windows 7 - Plantronics P590 headset will not connect with Bluetooth

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 today and got the message "your Bluetooth software license does not include the use with this Bluetooth device .» I can see the 590Plantronics in the window "Bluetooth Headset Operations and Settings", but it wouldn't connect.

    I searched and installed the latest driver for Windows 7 on Dell "Widdcomm Bluetooth Software 6.2.0.9600" driver download site. When it installed he gave a "Device disconnected" message for four instances of "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" but despite a message 'Ready to use' for 'Audio Bluetooth hands-free", the overall message is"device have not installed properly' and I can't always connect to my P590 headphones.

    No idea what I'm doing wrong or where I can get the correct drivers?

    Thank you

    I don't know if that's what you're looking for, but you could look here, http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php, to see if you have what you need.

  • printer will not connect with my laptop!

    Hi, I currently have a Dell Inspiron Mini, and I had a problem with my printer recently. I tried to search for the printer, but it won't allow MS to set it as default printer, so when I go into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc, I can't use my print to print because it says that there is no printer availible. I tried to solve the problem, but there is a message that indicates that there has been no problems found. Help, please!

    Unless you provide details of the printer, make and model its all guesswork.

  • iPad will not connect to internet

    Hello

    Recently I replaced my router wireless with an old faithful that d-Link DSL - 502T cable modem as I have now 2 extreme airport to handle a Wi - Fi. I have now a much faster internet access on my Macbook Pro, but my iPad 2 now will not connect to internet.

    Airport utility on the iPad shows that the internet is disconnected, but I don't know how to solve this problem.

    The two airports are configured in Bridge mode. Help someone?

    If you have LAN - 502T running as the main router.

    Bridge the airport should simply pass the DHCP via the Dlink but sometimes it's a failure.

    The two AE connected directly to the modem or the other?

    I would recommend the static method of intellectual property.

    https://discussions.Apple.com/message/25135547?ac_cid=tw123456#

    In this method, you must first AE plugged directly to the Dlink and the second AE connected in the first and bridge... it will dhcp to EI and is often a better configuration with Apple gear. Worth a try.

  • Printer will not connect via USB

    HP lj1022 printer will not connect not not via the USB port after the installation of the new driver upgrade hp lj1020/1022 for Windows 7 (64-bit). Driver seems to install properly until the moment where he is asked to connect the USB cable. Then he hangs up. HP lj 1020 printer appears in the display to the dashboard as the default printer. Computer recognizes the printer as hp printer lj1022 but in another "device not specified Panel when and only when the printer is on and the USB cable is connected." When printing, nothing ever comes from queue.

    Diagnosis is only that something is stuck in the queue and remove the task from the queue, but does not. Diagnostic shows no problem.

    The lj1022 printer accepts data from two other computers, as well on Windows xP and using the same cables. Three other USB ports have been tested on the new Windows 7 computer without results. The USB ports on the Windows 7 computer accept keyboards, mouse and flash memories wireless dongle without problem. The Windows 7 computer also sends data to a printer wireless with no problems.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?
