No sound from headphones, internal speakers but continue to make sound

I use a HP with Windows Vista Premium. My computer quite aware that my headphones are connected, will play the "ding" sound through the headset when I run the test, and many of the sounds of Windows Basic (for example, the volume control) work with the helmet. However all other sounds (such as music, internet, games, etc.) do not play in my headset but my speakers instead. I tried the solutions found on the forums, but ultimately neither my headphones or the speaker worked so I tried a system restore, and Im back where I started, speakers are working but headphones don't while headphones are connected. How can I fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi AMcKeown

Thank you for visiting the Vista Forum.

Are these USB headset or headphone jack analog standard?

Are plug you into the headphone to the front of the computer or the rear (according to the model of CV, you have, it can be taken helmet two, one in front and one in back)-If you have one in the front and you use that one, the cable that goes from this Jack to the Audio card can be loosened.  Please consult your manual or the owner with HP support assistance on verification of this cable.

If it is a set of USB headset, make sure that the drivers are installed and up-to-date and compatible with Microsoft Vista.

  • Windows 7 - sound through the internal speakers but not headphones...

    I've upgraded to Windows 7 and got the latest Realtek HD Audio driver, and the internal speakers work fine. Nothing is coming through the headphones well. In the Audio Device Manager, it lists the headphones as "Realtek Digital Output" and seems to work, but there is no sound. Before I could just plug my headphones and it would turn off the speakers and only use the headphones. Help! Any ideas?

    Hello jrh388,

    To better help, what is the brand and model of your PC?

    You can check if the headphones are activated as a playback device. To do this, see the following steps:

  • Satellite L500 - the sound coming from headphones and speakers

    Hello world

    My problem is about sound.when I put the headphones in my laptop, the sound just two headphones and speakers.
    How can I solve this problem? If can't, I can't use my laptop in attendance.

    Hey,.

    What OS is currently installed on your computer?

    Is the headset itself works because you can listen to the sound with headphones so for now I doubt s a hardware problem

    In any case, perhaps the problem is only linked to its driver and updated it could solve the problem in your case, I would check the Web from Toshiba site to download the latest version.

    Check this box!

  • Inspiron 17R SE 7720 - Audio from headphones and speakers

    When I plug my headphones, sound still comes from my speakers.

    The popup asking what device I plugged is no - longer everytime I plug my speakers - but it does to the microphone socket.

    It is difficult to say 100% for you that it is a hardware failure, because it is not a diagnostic test. If you Win10 you could go back to the operating system in which decision worked and see if it still works here.

    If you have the original operating system came with the laptop, you can perform a recovery of the system (original return the laptop to the factory setting). This will be the fix or confirm that there is a hardware failure.

    To the best of my knowledge your model of laptop doesn't have a replaceable audio port circuit. If I'm wrong on this subject you will need to replace the motherboard to replace the Jack unless you can perform work on the motherboard. You could qualify for something being folded.

    A simple solution is to get a USB input audio cheap and use it for headset and your internal audio system when you want that the speakers to play.

  • No sound from headphones and speakers.

    Original title: map its maybe broken

    Recently after taking my laptop on a short trip, I put to the top and turned on to find that the sound wasn't working. The speaker symbol had an x close to her and says that no devices were installed. After some messing around, I reinstalled the sound drivers, and now the speaker symbol is back to normal, but acknowledges that my monitor (not my headphones and portable speakers). Because my monitor has no speakers, this does not work for me. I've been trying my brain, tried everything, but nothing seems to work (helmet, not wearing a helmet, reinstall the drivers, active services), and I wonder if this means that my sound card is broken. I had problems with it in the past.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing.

    What is the brand and model of the computer sound card?

    Sound problems can be caused by cables that are not connected properly, damaged drivers, incompatible drivers, sound settings, missing updates and problems with your sound card.

    You can follow the steps in the Microsoft KB article and check if it solves the problem:

  • T440 - Sound does not switch between the internal speakers and headphones listening or return

    Hello community,

    Let me first explain how I assumed that the switch between headset and speakers should work:
    I turn on the music or anything else and if no headphones are connected, all sound from the internal speakers. Now if I plug headphones then sound comes exclusively from the helmet. If I go out then again the sound comes from the speakers and so on.

    In my case, the situation is the following:
    If I have no headset connected and turn on the music, then I heard if via the speakers. If I decide to continue to listen to this music through a headphone and plug them in, then the music continues to come from the speakers, but for example, the outlook notification sound is delivered in the headphones. It works vice versa.
    If I open, say youtube for a video, while having the headphone is plugged, I hear the sound through them. If I now unplugg, them, the speakers will remain silent.

    What can I do that if there is no external speakers connected (helmet, etc.) all sound will be played through the internal speakers, if I plug in a kind of external speaker, it's their part and if I unplugg it it switches back on the internal speakers?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    Best regards

    Look in Control Panel audio Realtek. It should be an option multistreaming, make sure it is set to unify all devices.

  • Internal speakers work, but do headphones.

    There is no sound from the internal speakers (windows 7).  However when I plug in the headset, you hear his fine (through headphones).  I heard it might be a mechanical problem with the headphone Sockets, but they seem to be good.

    YES! IT WORKED! (only took me three times to plug in / take the helmet).

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Depending on whether you have installed the update of Windows 10 birthday or not, download the installer of Realtek HD Audio relevant on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    Windows 10

    Windows 10 anniversary update

    When finished, press and hold the Windows key and press R

    In the run window, type devmgmt.msc and press to enter.

    In Device Manager, expand sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the Realtek device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you are finished, download and reinstall the driver for Chipset on the following link.

    When the reinstallation of Chipset is finished, stop the laptop.

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f9 to load the default values (sometimes it is f5, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    When windows has reloaded, open your download folder, right click on the installer of Realtek and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, reboot the laptop and let windows load completely for a few minutes before checking.

  • How to use all the internal speakers and headphones?

    Hello, I am using the internal speaker and the headphones together...
    I have a HP Pavilion dv9695el laptop running windows vista ultimate 64 bit and my sound card is a Realtek ALC268 (I have updated drivers). Card his has three exits: 3, 5 mm jacks on the front panel internal and two speakers (maybe a fourth to QuickDock?).
    If I connect the headphones, internal speakers automatically turn off. I want to use them together and I don't know how to do this.
    Also from "control panel"-> "audio options", it is impossible to pass because there is only a generic element "speakers", so I'm not able to use third-party programs such as "Vista Audio Changer" or nobodies.

    I asked some forums and people told me that it is a hardware limitation... I'm pretty sure this isn't because I also installed Linux Ubuntu (@64 bit) and use it, it is possible to bring together audio of the two devices.

    Please help me, I'm puzzled :(

    Microsoft Windows allows only one audio output at the same time. Therefore, choose internal speakers or external output. I have the same situation with my HP dv7 laptop. With the help of Ubuntu (unix), I am able to drive together the two audio outputs.

    Ive seen to be a common problem and have tried everything short of putting my computer or the cabel in the freezer for this problem, although I had an old pair of computer speakers that the power of the headphone plug in my garage-30 and a jack 3.5 cold didn't help.

    With frequent this problem or other similar appear from what my research has shown that I don't know that it can be resolved, or millions of laptops with drivers realtek audio hd are all defective.

    My next try is an external usb sound card. I tried already but no stores in my area have them (Wal-Mart, the source, Staples), all had never heard what I was talking about. I saw on the web less than 5 dollars but have no confidence in the sites offering the devices. Has anyone bought from a trusted site.  could talk to the teak of microsoft but they wanted to charge me $ $50 so decided to save money to buy a card usb sound, if I can't solve the problem.

    Sorry for any ignorance or typos and long reading but I hope someone can help with this problem

    Check with the manufacturer of your system's support and their forums (if any).

    Have you checked on the website of the manufacturer of the device for the latest drivers?

    Realtek - HD Audio Codec Driver right side
    http://www.Realtek.com.tw/

    Download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN

    NOTE: Often restore audio drivers to check the version after installing and restarting is
    see if the version you have installed is there, otherwise repeat the installation - restart until it is. This may take
    several tests according to the recommitments how much he makes.

  • Pavilion DV4: Laptop plays sound through headphones but not by internal speakers

    Audio was working fine on my laptop, when suddenly the laptop would not play sound with internal speakers.  If I plug in headphones sound is fine.  Execution of control panel of configuration/sounds shows 'Speakers and dual headphone - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC' enabled and set as the default device, as well as "independent double headphones" (enabled by default but not) and 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP docking station)' disabled.  What can be wrong?

    Cure the problem by uninstalling the CODEC driver, then restart Windows then reinstalled, and now things are ok again.

  • Satellite L70 - no sound from speakers but headphones work well

    Hello

    I have a sound problem with my computer (satellite 70 L)
    I tried everything but nothing to do, no audio output, but plugging the headphones into the audio port reinstall his works well, so I uninstall Conexant, even for its dts but its still doesn't work does not,

    Thank you

    In my view, the symptoms of laptop are clear enough: he does not resemble his driver or system problem because the sound seems to use the headset.

    I think that the internal speakers are defective. It seems strange to me that the two speakers have begun to malfunction at the same time, but this problem may occur.

    But before you contact the authorized Toshiba maintainer to fix, I would recommend you to recover the laptop just to be sure that this problem is not related to the failure of the system/software to 100%.
