View Full Version : Sound Help
Hi I am wondering if anyone could help:
I have no sound through my speakers (in the laptop) but when I plug my headphones in I can hear everything
I did a bios test and everything passes, even went to dell.ca and downloaded new driver and still nothing
any ideas,
thanks

Dumb question probably but....
Did you try turning up the volume in Windows?
Yes I did check the volume, even tried Winamp and no sound.......not even when windows starts or exits.

When you plug in ext. speakers or earphones to your laptop's audio-out port, it switches off the internal/built-in speakers on the system.
It is possible that this switching mechanism is malfunctioning. Maybe it's stuck in ext. speakers plugged in mode.
Somthing to think about.

By any chance did you download internet explorer 7
If you did it sometimes causes issues with the sound..
I know when I downloaded on to the wife's laptop she lost her
sound.. I had to uninstall internet explorer 7 and re-install the sound
drivers... anyway try re-installing the sound drivers
or see if there if an updated sound driver on the manufacturer's
website.
