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.

Shubham,
If external speakers/headphones work, most likely the sound board works properly.
It could be:
- Some kind of software settings related issue (doubt it)
- Defective audio jack. When you unplug headphones or external speakers the sound suppose to switch to the internal speakers. It’s possible that the audio jack is broken and it stuck in the “external” mode.
- Might be loose connection between the internal speakers cable and the motherboard
- Bad speakers

I have a Gateway 7210gx laptop that i’m repairing for a woman that I work with. The hard drive went bad and she didn’t have the recovery discs as the laptop was secondhand, so I installed a clean copy of Windows Xp. Now, I can only hear audio through the headphones and not the laptop’s built-in speakers. The speakers worked fine before the reload, so I don’t believe its a hardware problem. It may be driver related, but I have as yet been unable to locate a driver for it (it’s not on Gateway’s website) after 6 days of searching the internet. Any suggestions?

My Dell speakers aren’t working. They just suddenly stopped working. What can I do to repair them?
Do I have to replace my speaker card or is there a different way without messing with the hardware?

Hi there,
thanks for all the informative posts. I have a problem I haven’t seen here. Suddenly my toshiba satellite has stopped producing any sound through the internal speakers. However, there is a horrid static / ticking / high-pitched sound coming through the external speakers. This sound happens right from startup. I have plugged in other speakers – but get same problem. Also, the head phone jack is quite hot. Any thoughts?

Thank you!! I did not know that there is a wheel volume in my laptop. I turns the wheel volume on and it works!! Thank GOD it is not some other problem like sound card.
You have been a great help. Thanks again.

Maryam Affandi,
Do you know that your laptop has a volume wheel located on the front, on the right side from the audio jacks? Did you try it?

Hi,
I have Toshiba Satellite A105. I used to be able to hear good sound from my laptop. Until recently I don’t know what happen, I can’t barely hear the sound even after I increase the volume to max. I could not figure what’s wrong. Could you please tell me what do I need to do fix it?
Thanks

Hello,
My problem is a bit different. When I attempt to play a DVD on my laptop, the video component of the DVD plays fine but there is no sound accompanying it. Its like this for any DVD (bootlegged or not), however, downloaded movies play the audio just fine. In addition, one DVD I tried had its own software to play it so I installed that and it played the sound for the DVD menu but not for the movie itself. I have an Acer Aspire 1680.
I’ve tried to play the DVD in several different programs, checked the volume controls but I can’t figure out whats wrong. Thanks for your help!

Jake Bulman,
Maybe the microphone is muted?
I believe you can enable it if you double-click on the speaker icon in the lower right corner on the desktop. Then you go to advanced settings and turn on the microphone.
Sorry, I don’t have a XP machine in front of me and cannot confirm if the above mentioned steps are accurate.

I have a non USB headset with microphone, it uses 1 3.5mm jack for sound, and one for microphone
The sound comes out well, but for some reason my computer does not recognize the use of the microphone
I have used USB microphones before
I know its not working because I tested it on Teamspeak with friends. And the fact it doesn’t show up on any control panel or Teamspeak input list

mistaken1,
when you loose sound from internal/external speakers and reinstalling the operating system doesn’t help, there must be something wrong with the sound card (most likely integrated into the system board) and you’ll have to replace the system board. Just in case try reflashing the BIOS.

yeah have tried installing operating discs but still nothing.

I have a toshiba P105-s6024 I recently acquired. Its in excellent condition. However when I play DVD’s I can see the video and hear background sounds but not the characters voices. I have tried every sound output format listed in control panels (its in two speaker laptop right now)and reinstalled the sound card driver from the toshiba website. Music cd’s work fine. Its odd I can hear the cars driving down the street but not the characters talking to each other. thanks.

Luis Orellana,
Toshiba Satellite 1410 doesn’t have an I/O board.
Make sure the sound is not disabled, the software volume is not turned down, and the volume wheel on the side of the laptop is not turned down. Download and reinstall the audio driver.
Test if you can get any sound using headphones or external speakers connected to the audio jack on the laptop. If the headphones or external speakers work fine but laptop speakers do not work, you might have bad laptop speakers.
Reinstall the operating system using the recovery DVD. If you still have no sound even on a fresh OS load, probably you have a bad sound card.

mistaken1,
have you tried reinstalling the operating system?
February 6th, 2007 at 7:13 am
I own a Toshiba Satellite 1410 sp173.
How can I determine if the problem (not to get sound at all) comes due to the malfunction of the sound card or if the sound card is good but the mother board is unable to recognize it? and when you guys (you geeks) talks about the I/O board (you nerds) are you talking about the mother board?
Thank you, Genius.

Thomas Mallow,
May be you forgot to plug internal speakers into the system board?
February 4th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Last night I took apart my Acer Aspire 3004WLCI to replace a broken D/C jack (caused from tabletop fall). Got the new jack installed, put the laptop back together (only a few screws left out); The problem now – There isnt any sound coming from onboard speakers, When I plug my PC speakers into the headphone jack I get sound. Any idea what I may have forgotten, or what I should look for?

Hi All
I took my Toshiba Tecra A3 laptop to my pc repair man & it appears that it’s a h’ware problem.
This is my 2nd Tpshiba laptop & I would NEVER BUY ANOTHER TOSHIBA!! My last one began to give me problems under 12 months, and this one is only 14 months old. Just as well for extended warranty, but it’s a MAJOR problem getting United Electrical to honour the contract & I have onsite warranty with them. I’ve telephoned & emailed them daily for over 3 weeks now … & I’m STILL WAITING FOR ACTION!
My pc repair people are even the contracters in Hervey Bay for United, but even they can’t get any sense out of them.
I’d be interested to hear of any others who have had these problems with either Toshiba laptops, or United Electrical warranty repairs.
Thanks
