No sound will come out from the internal speakers
Hi, I’m having problems with my Toshiba Satellite A50. No sound will come out from the internal speaker. But when I use the headset, I can hear a sound. I’ve checked everything and everything is set to play sounds, just not with the speakers alone.
I want to disassemble this speaker and see if there some dust or whatever, how can I do that?
If you want to replace speakers on Toshiba Satellite A50 notebook, you have to remove the top cover assembly. I haven’t created a complete laptop disassembly guide for this model yet, but I have instructions for removing and replacing the keyboard for Toshiba Satellite A55. You can use this guide and get some access to the speakers and to the connectors. I think that cleaning up the speakers will not help a lot. If you can hear the sound from the headset but not from speakers, then I would suspect that the speakers are bad, the speakers are unplugged or some sound circuit on the system board is damaged. Try to reconnect the speakers first. The speakers are connected directly to the system board through 2 little connectors located below the keyboard connector. You can see these connectors on the step 6; they are hidden under the white tape.
Do you need spare parts for your laptop? Search here by the laptop model and part description.

L2005CU no sound. I reinstalled the driver and made sure it was the updated one. Works fine after I do that but as soon as I turn off computer and restart it the sound is gone again. Can you tell me what I have to do to fix this? It is as if it will not save the current driver or is rewritten when rebooted? Im not tech savy and trying to fix this myself…please be gentle on the tech explaination…lol…thanks again!!! Device driver Conexant AC LInk 4/22/05 6.14.10.575 installed.

I have a ‘freebie’ Satellite P25 that I took apart and had the power jack replaced. Had tons of viruses on it, so I used the system recovery DVD to restore it, and went to Toshiba and downloaded the drivers/updates, but I never had any sound. Not out of the speakers, and not out of the external speaker output jack. But then I figured out that I could get audio out of USB headphones.. So it at first it seemed that I was able to get digital audio, but not analog audio. Everything is enabled, and when the speakers are the default device, I see sound levels when playing a CD or DVD, but I get no sound. No sound from the ‘test’ button, no sounds from the system sounds choices menu.. Everything says that it is working.. It has the Realtek AC97 Audio audio driver.. I have tried all options in ‘AvRack’ and devices.. I even upgraded to Windows 7 Pro, and got an updated driver (2009) downloaded via Windows Update, but still no change. Any thoughts on why I can’t get audio from my laptop speakers, or thru the jack to my external speakers?
Thanks in advance.

My HP dv6000 notebook was wiped and Vista reinstalled. Ever since then, the speakers make a popping sound every few minutes and even when I mute the computer it happens without interruption. HOw can I make this irritating noise stop?

Donald Ksing,
Thank you for your suggestion. It looks like a lot of people might have exactly the same problem. I posted your comment in this post.
This way more people can see the solution. Thanks again.

Hi all,
I had a problem with my laptop’s internal speakers, and going through a couple of sites, I managed to figure out the problem.
I have an HP Pavillion DV 6114TX. I hope this helps someone.
Step 1: Figure out how to open up your laptop:

Step 2: This helped me figure out my problem. You may find your issues defined in one of the many links from here:

Step 3: Troubleshoot the problem:

In my case, the cable feeding my sound had gone bad (Kolt 1). So I switched it with the one feeding my touchbuttons (Kolt 2). I’d rather have sound than the ability to control no sound.

Hey, I need urgent help!! A friend installed a webcam on my toshiba satellite m series laptop. in the interim he kind of deleted my realtek audio and even after I retrieved it from the recycle bin, I cannot hear any sound from my laptop. It says that the driver is either corrupted or doesnt exist. What do I do. I cant ask my friend to fix it coz hes in a differenrt city now.

I have a toshiba a20 satellite notebook – the internal speakers do not work, or seem to, although sound is available from from external speakers via the speaker output. I have looked at the sound setup and it is set to laptop speakers (mono). I have also reloaded the sound driver. I is still no sound from the internal speakers. Any ideas?

Laptopfreak,
I have an acer 4530 which i use a lot for watching videos.
i was watching one tonight\this morning (hey, it’s 3am)and the sound just straight up died. No crackle no noises, just one second i was listening to this guy talk about nazis and aliens, and the next it was dead.
i plugged in some headphones and same thing: zilch.
checked the mute, the levels, my audio software, sliders, etc. checked device manager and says the sound driver is working.
what gives.
tell me i have integrated sound and need a new motherboard so i can cry. why yanni, why?
what good is a laptop if you cna’t watch conspiracy videos on it?

Victor,
Maybe a stupid suggestion, but make sure you plugging your headphones into the headphone (not speaker) jack.
Can you test speakers with another device? I’ve searched for special headphone settings in Vista and couldn’t find any. Looks like the sound should switch from external to internal mode when you plug them in.
Do you know if the driver you installed is compatible with Vista. Maybe that’s the problem?

amanda d,
Your description sounds like a problem with the sound card. The sound card is integrated into the motherboard, so the entire motherboard has to be replaced.
Is it still under warranty? Send it to Dell for repair.
I posted your question with some explanations here.

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop computer and recently the speakers stopped working. Worked one day and then didnt the next. Just out of nowhere. Anyways…while just folling around trying to fix it i stuck some headphones in the headphone jack and i couldnt hear anything there either so for fun I stuck it in the micrphone jack and for a split second I could hear the song that was playing. Also throughout the day the internal speakers started working off and on just for a couple seconds at a time. Later in the night the internal speakers were fully functional and I had no problems. Upon waking up this morning the speakers did not work again and currently they keep cutting in and out much like they did yesterday. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Maybe a lose wire or something? I did try a new driver download and that did not work. Please help

Hi! I need your help! Out of the blue this day, whenever I hear a song or a video (for example from youtube or from my songlist) I always hear from my laptop a sound which distorts the sound of the song/video. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me with this sound jam..I have to listen and see some video for my job and without clear sound it is very difficult to understand what they say.
My laptop is a Toshiba A200-23X
Thank you very much for your help!
Best Regards,
Christos

Everytime i do updates on my laptop the internal speakers stop working. how can i fix this?
May 23rd, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Update:
I managed to fix my computer. As I said before, the problem started when my sound stopped working on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 laptop. Within a few days, my display started flickering and then finally went completely black. I noticed that if I lightly pressed the lower left side just below the keyboard, both sound and picture would temporarily return.
After I made the decision to just take it to a repair shop, I figured, ‘what the hell. I might as well take one final crack at it.’ I opened it up and noticed a green wire (connector?) had come out of its socket. I gently replaced it, and when I started it back up – viola! Everything was working again!
Note: This may not necessarily be the solution to everybody problems. I would always advise everyone to be EXTREMELY cautious when taking apart their computer. Hopefully, my advice can help someone out. If anyone wants to know more about it, feel free to contact me a dajinni24@yahoo.com. Cheers!

Hello. I’m having some serious problems with my laptop – Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100. I got it second hand about a year ago, and it worked fine until two weeks ago when the sound began to gradually quit on me. The sound would go out mid video/song, and would only begin play again after I restarted the computer, but only for a short while. It shows ‘no audio device detected’ when I click on ‘Volume Control’ – my ‘Sound and Audio Devices’ window is grayed out and I cannot select anything. I’ve tried Services>Windows Audio restart per someone’s advice, that didn’t work either.
The warranty has long expired. I have tried calling Toshiba Customer Services, but no luck there. Out of desperation I reinstalled the operating system from the recovery CDs, and reinstalled the proper drivers downloaded from Toshiba’s website. Then I got sound for a little over a day before it failed. Now it has gone back to its original problem of ‘no audio device detected,’ etc, until I reinstall the drivers, the the cycle begins again. Very frustrating!
I’ve browsed the web for days looking for solutions; apparently this is a common problem for Toshiba laptops. None of them provided for more then a temporary fix, but I think I may know what could be causing it. I was wondering, could it be a problem with my sound card? I don’t think its dead, because sound DOES play, but that maybe it has somehow come a loose. I’m thinking of taking it apart, but if it’s not the sound card, I don’t want to mess it up any worse than it is. This computer is my workhorse. I’m a college student with not a lot of money to spare, and it will be awhile before I can scrounge up enough money to take it in to be looked at.
Is there any hope for me?
Thanks in advance.

hey.
there is no sound from my speakers inside my laptop but every now and again if i knock it the left one will work for a few seconds.. i suppose this would be a loose connection.

cheers pete.
