Audio :: Speakers Muted When Microphone Plugged In

Jun 10, 2013

I have a windows eight computer, and when I plug in my microphone (on my headset) my speakers are muted. I assume there is a simple sound option somewhere that does this, but I have been unable to find anything by looking around or searching google. The headset does not mute speakers on other computers when the microphones are plugged in, nor does it differ with other headsets.

Audio :: No Speakers Or Headphones Plugged In - Windows 8

Aug 1, 2014

I am using Windows 8.I am facing an issue with my sound all on a sudden. The volume icon on the task bar has a red cross on it. When I hover on that it says 'No speakers or headphones plugged in' (attachment-1).

When I click on the icon I get a screen like attachment-2 which says 'The peripheral does not appear to be plugged in'.

I checked in the Device Manager to see only 'Bluetooth Headset' listed under 'Sound,video and game controllers'. Also I tried to re-install audio drivers (Real Tech High Definition Audio Driver) which is provided with the laptop to no avail. I don't know whether this is just a driver/windows problem or a hardware problem.

Audio :: Compaq CQ58 / Windows 8.1 - Built In Speakers And Mic Shown As Not Plugged In

Aug 29, 2014

I am running a Compaq CQ58 with windows 8.1

A week ago, i turned on my laptop and discovered that my sound wasnt working. I cheaked the sound menu, it told my that the speakers were not plugged in. I looked in the recording menu which told me my build in mic was not plugged in.

I was able to have sound by plugging my laptop into my tv with a HDMI lead.

I got fed up with a slow laptop and no sound so i decided to reset my laptop, when the reset was finished my mic and speakers worked. I turned it off and when i woke up i turned it back on to find my mic and speaker was "not plugged in". All my drivers are up to date and i have no updates to do.

Lenovo G580 Audio Keeps Coming From Internal Speakers When Headphone Plugged In

Oct 30, 2013

I have a Lenovo G580 with Windows 8. I have a weird problem with audio. If the default audio is set as internal speakers and I plug in my headphones the sound just keeps coming from the internal speakers. But if I set the headphones as default, I can switch between the speakers and headphones as I want and there is no problem if only I play music from my computer.

If I try to play something from my browser, however, the sound only comes from the internal speakers and connecting the headphones does nothing. Except (and this is where it gets weird) if I play something from my computer first using the headphones. Then I can play anything from the browser and hear it through the headphones as long as I don't plug them out. If I plug them out, the sound switches back to the internal speakers and trying to plug in the headphones again doesn't do anything. So I have to play something from my computer again with the headphones plugged in and then switch to my browser to again play everything through my headphones.

Audio :: Windows 8 Pro 32bit - Headphones Will Work But Speakers Won't

May 26, 2013

I recently upgraded to windows 8 pro 32 bit. For a month there were no problems.

But one sunday afternoon i was watching some movie on my laptop and suddenly the speakers stopped working.

I restarted it, but to no avail. However my headphones still work, and so do external speakers work.

I tried reinstalling audio drivers frm the mfg's website-Didn't work.
I tried System restore to a point where i knew my speakers were working-Didn't work.
I even tried refreshing windows 8-Didn't work.

After almost a week now my speakers still do not work and only my headphones work.

I recently updated Nvidia Graphics Drivers in order to play COD BO2

Graphic Cards :: Main Display Doesn't Work When HDMI Is Plugged

Oct 25, 2013

Last night I got hold of a 27" BenQ GL2750HM, so far so good. I have my main display from the DVI port to HDMI port on the screen and my secondary screen is my 60" TV which is connected through HDMI port on the graphic card into the HDMI port in my reciever.

The main scheme for my setup is like:

- Radeon 7970 DVI > HDMI Main monitor (BenQ GL2750)
- Radeon 7970 HDMI > HDMI Reciever (ONKYO TX-NR609)
- ONKYO TX-NR609 > 60" TV

So to the problem now. When the HDMI cable is connected to the graphic card, I need to have my TV ON in order for my main monitor, the BenQ, to work and if I turn off the TV the BenQ is getting black, like a standby mode, however, there is "no signal" to the monitor.

This was never a problem with my other screen, I could have the HDMI cable connected to the graphic card, the TV off and the reciever OFF without the main monitor went black.

Maintenance :: How Power Plans Work - Balanced Settings For Plugged And Unplugged Respectively

Apr 30, 2013

I was wondering how Power Plans work. Say, I have my Power Plan set on Balanced. Now it'll adapt to the Balanced settings for plugged and unplugged respectively.

my computer needs more power for a task I'm performing while I'm not plugged in. Will it be able to push itself to it's capabilities, or would it stay restricted? How about when it's plugged in?

If I would rather have "High Performance" settings when I'm plugged in, and "Balanced" when I'm not, is there a way to do that? It's clear that Power Plans work even while being plugged in, but I see no need to limit the PC while you aren't on battery.

Dell :: Incorporated Speakers In Monitor Not Detected

Apr 13, 2014

I have a Toshiba Tekbright Monitor that was working very well in my old computer. I bought a Dell XPS 920 I7 12G RAM 2T with a Windows 8.1, the incorporated speakers are not detected, even after I updated the Nvidia drivers. 

If I plug headers, I have sound.

If I restart and press F1, the audio test there gives me sound too.

So the monitor is fine, just some conflict between speakers and Windows/Nvidia.

Audio :: Sound Playing Through Both Laptop Speakers And Headphones?

Sep 15, 2014

I bought the plantronics .Audio 335 studio headphones, but when I plugged them in, it screwed up my sound. My compute'rs sound is now playing through both the headphones AND the laptop speakers. After unplugging it and trying again a couple times, I gave up and decided to just use my old headphones.

Except for the sound still played through both the headphones and laptop speakers.

Distraught, I restarted my computer. When that didn't work, I restored my system to a point I made yesterday. Still no luck. I've been scrounging google for a few hours now, and nothing is working. I REFUSE to refresh my system and reinstall all of my programs again.

Windows 8 Hanging When Connect The Charger

Nov 10, 2012

I downloaded Windows 8 the next day after it's release.It worked well for a week, but then soon after, every time I would connect my adapter to charge my laptop, it would hang. It works just fine without the adapter. I tried connecting another adapter and it would still hang.

For now I have downgraded back to windows 7. What could be the reason? I wanna upgrade as soon as I can !!

Some one told me to update the graphics card driver. My config is 4gb RAM, 1 GB nVidia graphic card Intel i5 processor...

Windows 8.1 - Battery Charger Disconnects Ethernet

Oct 30, 2013

I recently upgraded my OS from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, and everything seemed to run normally. I have to connect to the internet via ethernet cable, which isn't a problem at all. However, whenever I plug in the battery charger, the ethernet connection stops working, but I can still connect via Wifi adapter.

I can't use wifi most of the time, so this does bother me a lot.

Dell :: Windows 8 Tiles Don't Work

Nov 26, 2013

I've been stuck without windows tiles for quite some time now. I've attempted many of the various tips and tricks out there to get this problem fixed.  The one I can't try is the system refresh because the windows tiles don't work which mean I can't open PC Settings to get that started.  

Is there a way I can do this without having to open PC Settings which wont actually open.

i have windows 8 installed and would love to upgrade to windows 8.1 but because the tiles dont work i cant open the windows store.  Just like most people out there the other tiles work like chrome etc just not the standard windows 8 ones.  no i dont have any additional antivirus or firewalls turned on. Yes I've tried to reset the tile service, yes I've tried the app diagnostic tool. Nothing is working.

Audio :: Why Does Microphone Work Better On Laptop

Sep 27, 2013

I just got myself a brand new PC with Windows 8. My problem is getting my mic to work the same way it did with my laptop with windows 7 64 bit (Worked perfectly, microphone level at 47 and boost at 10db). I've tried everything, and even with microphone level at 100 and boost to 30db its just alot of background noise and still low volume. Disabled everything on the enhancement tab, and i've tried everything on the other forums. And yes, i've updated my Realtek drivers to the lastest version. So i'm down to maybe something with the motherboard, or bios?

Dell :: Inspiron 17R SE 7720 Webcam Don't Work After Windows 8.1 Install / Update

Nov 17, 2013

I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 and yesterday evening I updated from windows 8 to windows 8.1. This went good. Only this morning I noticed my webcam don't work anymore. Before the update it worked fine. I use it daily to talk with my girl. 

The only applicatie we use it for is facebook. When I use Dell Systeem Detect, and I let it check my webcam, it shows and it gives images. So I think it is not a problem of the hardware. 

I also tried to download Dell Webcam Manager 2.0 but that says I dont have a special card in my laptop. Also when typed in my service tag in de website, I didn't get any new drivers / programs for the webcam.

Dell :: Backup Writes 3 DVDs But Only Reads 1 And Recovery Doesn't Work

I created DVD and USB backups to my new Windows 8 Inspiron laptop; I needed to recover the next day, and the Hard Disk recovery partition and the USB were reported as corrupt! On a brand new system with a brand new USB stick!

On attempting to recover with the DVDs, after using the first one the Dell recovery program said 100% complete, so didn't even read the next 2. The recovery showed a "restart" button, and of course nothing happened!
