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.

Actually no, that doesn’t work either. And, my speakers stopped working before I ever tried my headphones. Plugging the headphones in was one of the steps the troubleshoot menu had me do in order to see if the sound was working at all. Any other suggestions?

Katie,
Check out this solution.
Speakers stopped working after I used my headphones
Maybe you have the same problem with the headphone jack.

The internal speakers on my HP Pavilion dv6000 have stopped working. I can still hear sound through the headphones. I have gone through the troubleshoot menu, rolled back the driver, downloaded updates to the driver, uninstalled and then reinstalled the driver and it still doesn’t work. I have thought about it and it stopped working a couple of days after downloading iTunes. Is there anything in iTunes that changes the setting of the speaker output device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

HI
I OWN A DELL 5160, it was working fine until two days ago, then the volume from the speakers became distorted and lower in volume adn when i plug in earphones i hear nothing at all. i checked the device manager and control panel sound device and everything is working fine??
1 thing i did was compress my windows drive to free up some space (right click properties then compress) but i did that 2 weeks ago. i tried restarting a few times and got a “microsoft has recovered from serious error”
i downloaded the sound driver from the dell website and installed it but it didn’t help?
please advise, very frustrated!

When I plug headphones into my Acer Aspire 3680-2626, they don’t work right away. Often I would have to leave them plugged in for several hours before I could hear anything. If I reboot my laptop, I have to start the whole process again. It happens this way for every set of headphones i’ve tried.
Any idea why this happens?

Cherie,
I think there is something wrong with the headphones jack. Probably, the switch inside the jack got stuck in the headphones mode and the audio signal doesn’t go to the external speakers. Plugging and unplugging the headphones plug a few times in a row can help to release the switch inside the jack.

Jonathan Bonini,
Download and install the sound card device driver. This device drive should be available for downloads form the Toshiba website. Also, you can find this driver on the recovery disc.

I just formatted a Toshiba satellite and the speakers stopped working. They worked fine before I formatted. I went to the control panel to see how the speakers were set up and everything was dimmed out and could not be adjusted. What do I need to do?

I have a Dell Inspiron B130 and one day I got the blue screen of death so I used system restore. After I got the computer to work again, I realized that the DVD player (powerdvd) did not work and when a dvd was being played in Windows Media Player or InterActual Player, the movie played but there was no sound (not even with the headphones). I have tried to uninstall powerdvd but it will not allow it and I don’t know what else to do.
Please help!!! I’m deployed and my laptop is my only outlet to entertainment.

Mark –
I have much the same problem with my internal speakers….they click off and on without any apparent reason or warning. And sometimes I will only get sound from one side. It’s very frustrating.
Does yours work okay if you plug in the headphones or a seperate set of speakers?
Any help would be great. My laptop is still under warrenty, but I’d like to see if I can find a solution before taking it all the way to the store and risk losing info.

Hey, I’ve been using a compaq pesario V3000 for almost a year now. I was using it with headphones, and then all of a sudden I realised that there was a static sound coming from the left speaker, around the power switch. I am sure it is not coming from the fan, and even when i play music, or mute the speakers, the static can still be heard, whether or not my headphones are plugged in. Does anyone know whether this is a sign of big problems? Or is it something minor.
Thanks.

Brad,
The laptop part number is PQG30U-00P006B not PQG30U-00P0068, right? B at the end, not number 8.
OK, here’s the motherboard part number for your Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600: P000451740
Try calling again and bother them until they sell you the recovery discs. Man! Satellite G35 is an expensive machine and they cannot find extra recovery disk? I think if they want to find them, they will find them.

Hello;
Thanks for the responces. The annoying noise does come from the speakers; not hard drive or anything else. Can’t re-install OS as I don’t have the disks. Toshiba says they don’t make the restore disks anymore Outdated???. As I mentioned before, a computer repair shop resolved the noise problem by disconnecting the speakers but also said that I would need the motherboard replaced. Does anyone on here know what the motherboard part number is?
Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV600 On bottom of laptop sticker has the following:
serial #36030178J -9
Part #PQG30U-00P0068
Originally and still is Windows XP MCE
Thanks;
Brad

Geroge, Garmaxis,
Some newest laptops are designed to work only with Vista OS and cannot be downgraded to XP. Maybe that’s why there is a problem with sound when you downgrade to XP?
Go to the manufacturer’s website and take a look at the BIOS. Maybe the BIOS on your laptop is designed only for Vista?

Hi,
I just recently downgrade an Acer Aspire 4310 from Vista to XP, i have the same problem too, my internal speakers/mic are not working also, there is no sound coming out,.Maybe i’ve download wrong driver or how to troubleshoot the sound back. Please help anyone? Thanks

I have a problem with my sound card on toshiba a100 when I downgrade to window xp..please help..
November 8th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
Brad,
Have you tried reinstalling the operating system to eliminate any OS related issues?
I believe on a a Qosmio G35-AV600 the sound board is a part of the motherboard.
Why do you want to replace the sound board if the external speakers and headphones work fine? Maybe the high pitched squealing comes from the motherboard or even the hard dive?
Try running the laptop just from the battery power, do you still can hear the same high pitched noise or it appears only when you plug the AC adapter?
Try removing the hard drive and start the laptop without it. Is the noise still there?

Follow up: external speakers and headphones work fine.
November 4th, 2007 at 9:40 am
Hello;
I have a Qosmio G35-AV600
Does this have a sound board or is it integrated with system board. Meaning, can I change just sound board or do I have to change the system board. A local shop disconnected the speakers and said to fix sound problem would cost about 450.00. Problem was there was a high pitched squealing that wouldn’t go away. Microphone was not on.
Thanks;
Brad

Maybe the microphone doesn’t work because it’s muted? I’ve posted my suggestions here: Microphone stopped working after I reinstalled Windows
