Windows 7 Can't Find Speakers / Headphones Being Plugged In
Oct 7, 2012
when i plug in my speakers (Logitech X140) or my headphones (wicked reverb from wicked audio) windows 7 (64bit) says that nothing is plugged in and no audio device is installed. The audio works in ubuntu (on a separate hard drive) when i look in device manager under sound video and game controllers it has NVIDIA High Definition Audio for times. It wasnt working on a fresh install. The reason i was using ubuntu is that this started happening a while ago and i got no help so i switched to linux but now i want to have windows so i can play games.
I tried searching for the solution to this problem but even after installing the realtek drivers, i still get that issue of no speakers or headphones.Below is information about the onboad sound.
[code]...
I had not used my desktop for one week due to some problem of too much dust accumlating in the machine. Due to this the system would not power up. After the dust was removed, system powers up but i now get this problem with sound. Before this everything was fine. The speakers work fine on the laptop.I installed the drivers from the motherboard driver disc. I am using a gigabyte board (GA-G31M-ES2L).I have installed the drivers directly from the gigabyte website for my motherboard as well as from the realtek website.Also updated bios online from gigabyte server. But none of these methods causes sound to be restored.Theres no exclamation mark by the audio drivers in Device Manager. I have removed the audio drivers and after a restart, i still get the "no speakers or headphones are plugged in" error on the speaker icon.In device manager after restarting the system, i get the "high definition audio" device listed under "Sound, video and game controllers".Now i am wondering there is something wrong with the motherboard.
The other day a speaker cord was yanked out of my computer and dismembered the head phone port. When headphones or speakers are plugged in they do not work. The main issue here is when nothing is plugged into the port my laptop speakers do not work. Its as if my computer thinks something is plugged in and has turned off its own speakers.
Ever since last night, my internal speakers will only work if something is plugged into the headphone jack, be it headphones or external speakers. This happened right after I unplugged some external speakers.In control panel, it says headphones are plugged in when they are not and that they are not plugged in when they are. Sound comes through both the speakers and the headphones when headphones are plugged in.Oddly enough, Skype login sounds still play. Windows startup sounds and all other media, videos, etc doesn't work without the headphones however.I have tried updating the sound card driver using the automatic detection program from the AMD website. Then I tried updating the sound card driver via the HP website. Then I tried a system restore. Nothing has worked so far.
I have problem with my sound/sound card.My notebook is HP 620, product number WS730EA#BED, OS Windows 7 32bit.Audio driver is IDT.This notebook has HDMI outport and couple days ago I connected it with my Toshiba TV, which you can connect with HDMI cable.So I connected notebook and TV and there was picture but not sound.In sound options I made Digital Audio (HDMI) as a default device, so I can have sound on TV, and there wasn't any sound. I restarted my notebook and there was the same problem - there wasn't sound on TV again.I disconnected notebook from TV. There wasn't sound on notebook either. As a matter of fact there is no sound to this day.In IDT audio control panel everything is muted and it's impossible to unmute speakers or headphones.Device Manager doesn't see problems with soundcard. It says that everything is OK.On speaker icon is red x and says "no speakers or headphones are plugged in". When I troubleshoot it, it can't fix it and it says that it is disabled.I tried with updating the drivers - doesn't help.Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling it - doesn't help.In control panel -> sound says that HDMI is not connected (you can't disable it), speakers are default (but you can't configure it) and headphones are default (you can't configure them also). When I go to the recording devices the sound control panel just freezes....So I thought that problem is with the sound card and I bought the external USB sound card. In BIOS I disabled the integrated sound card. So I installed the external sound card. Everything installed like as it should be. The notebook recognizes the external sound card and says that everything is ok, but again I have red x on sound icon and again I have no sound via external sound card. I rebooted the notebook, same problem.So integrated or external sound card - I have no sound. Nothing helps, I tried everything to repair it, but it doesn't help.
I've Dell N5010 laptop with Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit and IDT sound drivers. The issue I'm facing is that: "The speakers would continue playing even though I plug in my headphones." Both of them work simultaneously...
Sounds are coming out of my speakers even i plugged in my headphonesand by the way, when i go to control panel and go to hardware sounds and go manage audio devices, there is NO headphones sign/logo even when i have plugged in my headphones. And when i try to update my audio drivers, they say it is up to date.
When I plug in my head phones my computer does not register them and keeps playing music on the main speakers,I have checked the Sound in the controlpanel but only the main speakers are listed there.I have an Acer Aspire computer with Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit.
I have an HP Pavilion DV4-1428DX Entertainment Notebook. The sound was working perfectly fine at about 6am this morning, and around 10am it just stopped working. The speaker icon on the laptop itself(Touch it to mute or unmute sound) is red and touching it doesn't unmute. The speaker icon on the right side at the bottom of the screen(Near the clock) has a red X on it. I tried troubleshooting by clicking on the speaker icon, and no solutions or anything came up. I did a quick google search and it seems this is a common error. I tried calling Microsoft since I run Windows, they told me to call HP. I call HP, and after getting hung up on three times, and then getting a guy who spoke almost no English whatsoever, I was told that my warranty has run out, and although they know exactly what is wrong and they cannot give me the answer unless I pay for a $15 per month maintenance plan, and call me old-fashioned or cheap, but I'm not gonna pay $15 to have a guy give me the answer. I'm not sure what exactly my operating system is, because in my control panel, it says I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and if I use the HP website to scan my laptop for problems, it says I run Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, but if I go to the BIOS menu on start up, it says I run Windows Vista, and the sticker on my laptop says Windows Vista as well, so I don't know what to go with.
when I plug my headphones to the back panel, windows recognize them as speakers, and by that gives lower sound and it really disturbs in gaming. I tried downloading realtek audio manager but it didn't seem to help either.
Windows default is Front panel = headphones, Back panel is headphones. but my front panel does not work! any advice how to change the speakers to headphones? It's very important!
I succeed to fix the front panel, but even then I'm not getting any headphones mode. I went into PlayBack devices and I didn't find headphones mode :O what am I suppose to be doing?
I recently got a new computer. a windows 7 x64 bit When i plug in any headphones (they all work perfectly), windows does not detect them as headphone but as speakers. i can still hear everything fine but the audio is just not right, even my ipod, using the same headphones has more bass and clearer sound. i have tried different steps already but none seem to work.
I am really stuck, basically what is happening is I am getting a crackling noise from my speakers and headphones on windows 7, it is not my sound card as I use a separate usb card for the headphones meaning this cant be a problem with the drivers as they are both using different ones right? Windows 7 was basically my version of vista, vista worked perfectly for me, I just don't know what is going on and it has me annoyed as i invest a lot in my audio just to have the os crap on it.
I got a headset for my birthday and it is a sennheiser so it is pretty good quality so I want to get the most out of it. I currently have realtek installed on my pc as it came with it and when I plug in the green plug into the green jack I select headphones and pink into pink and select mic. Then when I open windows sound card manager it is showing my headphones as a speaker. Am i doing this right? I tried plugging the green plug into green and selecting line out aswel but there was no sound. Can you guys give me any suggestions of what i should be doing to get prime settings for this headset (even if it is off onboard sound?) I have provided a screenshot aswel as audio on pcs for some reason confuses the hell out of me especially realtek.
[code] So I bought a new computer not too long ago and I've had some issues with my headset and whatnot. I have a ASUS Xonar DX sound card with an optic fibre cable for my Logitech Z-5500 system and they worked just fine with it.However, when I bought my headset (Steelseries 7H Fnatic, normal non-USB) I had issues. When I plugged them into my motherboard it couldn't find them. And when I tried to plug them into my Xonar card, people I was skyping with could hear my sounds (videos I watched etc) even though I had earplugs. So I removed the card and decided I'd go with the normal drivers etc. So I checked ASUS website and got the drivers.I installed the drivers (Xonar drivers uninstalled clean before) and it asks me to reboot. I reboot and I get the message: "No speakers or headphones are plugged in." from the system tray. I run dxdiag and no sound card is detected (it's just empty where there should be driver names etc). In the control panel there is no Realtek option etc. When I check the folder it only has 2 folders:Drivers and InstallShield. They contain files named RtlUpd64 (application), USetup.iss and the InstallShield contains Rtkupd64 (application).
I uninstalled/reinstalled and rebooted etc several times but I never get it in the control panel or the system tray. BIOS etc are the lastest for my motherboard, and I never had this issue before. In BIOS the settings are to HD audio. I'm pretty sure I haven't screwed up the assembly of the computer, because I've been building my own for a very long time. In the control panel I can currently see "Digital Audio (HDMI)" 2 through 5 (2,3,4,5) and they're not plugged in it says. On recording there is nothing.
Unless I have speakers or headphones plugged in, my computer gives me the red "X" over my sound icon in my system tray, and anything that involves sound won't work. This is annoying because I don't always want to listen to sound at work, but I still need to be able to play things that have sound while I listen to music from another source.I guess I could just find a wire to plug into the headphone jack (yup, that works) but that seems silly.
I have speakers plugged into the tower's rear jack and headphones plugged into the front jack. (Windows 7 x64 HP desktop)The headphones have about a 1/4 second delay - this is also reflected in the tray's volume control level meters.
I have the following problem with new Compaq 515 with Windows 7: when headphones are connected to the headphone jack, the laptop speakers will not disable and headphones or external speakers woun't work.The laptop recognizes headphones (test sounds are coming through) and they can be used for communications, e.g. Skype. The laptop has IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver's latest version. Strangely, it is not possible to switch headphones as default device in control panel -> sound. The laptop has following options: Speakers/HP as default device and Headphones (RTC) appear as "Default Communications Device" when selected as default device. I'm not sure this is the problem but it seems strange enough
I have a laptop. When i open it in playback devices i have only the speakers. When i plug my headphones i hear everything from there with the playback devices only being the speakers. But, when i open certain programs like mumble a second playback device appears called Communications Headphones (IDT high definition audio CODEC). It doesnt matter if i have my headphones plugged. Then from the same program some sounds come out of the speakers and others from the headphones. How can i make everything to come out of my headphones or just make this second playback device disappear? Edit. I disabled and everything is fine now.
When I plug in my headphones, my speakers just keep on playing(although the headphones also play the audio). The headphones won't show up under audio devices, and I've tried two different sets of headphones.Does anyone know how to stop this? It was working fine yesterday.
For some reason when I plug my headphones into the front audio jack in my computer the sound output of running applications is not moved to my headphones. The audio remains with my speakers. The converse is true too - unplugging my headphones will not transfer audio output that is on my headphones to my speakersI had run into this problem when I was originally setting up my computer and I had been able to fix it.All I had to do is set my headphones to my default sound output and the computer would switch everything when I plugged them in. My headphones are still the default audio source, but for some reason the switching no longer works.
I was playing on my laptop and I took off my headphones but the music was playing through my laptop speakers. why sound plays through both my laptop speakers and my headphones.
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T510 with Windows 7 and have noticed the sound when using headphones it quite low. The same headphones playing the same sound on an older computer turned up all the way is extremely loud, but on this one, you can sometimes barely hear it. Even when using desktop speakers, turned up all the way, playing something in VLC media player with that sound up 400%, it is still sometimes hard to hear, and pretty much any video online, which I can't turn up to 400%, is too low to hear very well. Is this an issue with the sound card? Is there any way to amplify it?
So I installed Windows 7 RC1 (build 7100) x64 and just wondering when I change the speaker setting in my Creative Audio Control Panel to headphones should it be changing what I see on the speaker icon on the taskbar, As it the audio output always remains as speakers.
Im using XtremeGamer with Beta Drivers 2.18.0013.
When I was using XP when I changed from speakers to headphones it would change what is in the windows control panel / sound settings. Does this happen in Windows 7? or will changing it through Creative Audio Control Panel do it just not changing the output device name?
And another thing even when I change it to headphones, when I load cs:source up the audio device is set as 2 speakers, so I'm not sure if the output device is changing.
I have a HP G62 series laptop with Realtek HD Audio Manager and an iSymphony NC1 Headphone with a male to male 3.5 mm cord connected to my audio output jack. The jack on my laptop is loose, but I can still hear sound coming from both sides of the headphones. The problem is that the internal speakers still play and the headphones don't show up on my devices menu or in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
When I plug in my headphones, my speakers just keep on playing(although the headphones also play the audio). The headphones won't show up under audio devices, and I've tried two different sets of headphones.
Strange problem! I have some sounds that play through my speakers when headphones are plugged in. For example, if I run Skype, the Skype will play through the headphones (properly), but iTunes will play through speakers, as will anything else.
This also happens when playing Borderlands - I have to unplug and replug headphones to get it to go back!
What gives? How to fix this? I have IDT HDA as my sound card. Windows forced me to install NVIDIA HDA as well, so I have 2 sound drivers - NVIDIA HDA and IDT HDA AUDIO CODEC.
I've been using an Asus ROG G51J gaming laptop for a while now, and a couple months back, I noticed this weird problem. Occasionally, when my headphones were plugged in, I'd hear this popping noise. Sometimes it was just one pop in minutes, sometimes it sounded like machinegun fire. After a bit of investigation, I realized that for the duration of each pop (a fraction of a second, at most) my computer would play sound through its onboard speakers instead of the headphones. It didn't seem to change based on what programs I had running or what devices I had connected to the computer, and restarting the machine entirely only temporarily defeated the problem.
