Laptop speakers not working in windows.
I've got an Asus G1Sn laptop. This problem just recently started, I can't think of anything I would have done, changed or added for it to have happened. My laptop speakers do not work in windows, they work post bios screen but no where after windows loading. If i plug in speakers/headphones to the audio out they work. Any thoughts? -- cabz Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

I think that they are probably set to MUTE in your audio mixer.

I checked, they are not muted. In my system tray there is usually an icon that tells me when something is plugged into or unplugged from my audio jacks, I think windows thinks there is always something plugged into my audio out. I still get the info box pop up for the other two ports there, mic and other. Curious;1210378 Wrote: I think that they are probably set to MUTE in your audio mixer. "cabz" wrote in message ...

I also have an Asus computer and have the exact same problem- the speakers sound after booting when the Asus bios screen initially comes up, but as soon as Vista starts to load, the internal speakers stop working. Thus, it is clearly not an issue with the speakers or their connection, and is more to do with Vista continuing to think that headphones are being used. Looks like an Asus problem, let me know if you find a solution because it is really bothersome to not have sound! -- mr_friese ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr_friese's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/89423.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1150384.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

I have the same problem. Again an ASUS. I checked all hardware components and can get the speakers to make sounds before windows launches. At first I thought the system thinks the head set is still plugged in but I can't find a way to test this. My problem started after a system update. I have the same problem on another machine .. not ASUS. Both started around the same time. ASUS site is useless and I can't find anything on MS. -- gmarsh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gmarsh's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/223124.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-har...es/1150384.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

The problem was hardware. My Laptop had a damaged/defective headphone jack. There is a switch or sensor of some kind inside the headphone jack that reports the presence of an inserted jack if one is plugged in. This disables the speakers but only in Windows. During POST the laptop has a pre-Windows splash screen with the Republic of Gamers Logo and a sound is played before Windows loads. The speakers work fine at that point every single bootup. After Windows is up and running something reads the condition of the headphone jack and turns off the speakers. Asus suggested many things - none of which helped. Including inserting and removing a headphone jack - trying to free the stuck condition with a toothpick or other non-conductive object and when that failed, a complete restore of the O/S which was a waste of time and wiped the hard drive. Before doing the restore I cloned the drive using the excellent Acronis drive clone utility. When that failed to fix the problem and Asus finally issued an RMA I took the notebook in just as it was after the restore. After they replaced the failed hardware. I was able to put everything back exactly as it was by again using Acronis to clone the copy back onto the original drive. Now it is working perfectly. So you can read all over where this happens. It may be a stuck switch you can free by fiddling with the jack or blowing out with compressed air but be careful about sticking anything into the opening. If you break a toothpick or something inside that hole you could be screwed.
