Headphones won't turn off speakers - Toshiba Computers & Internet

Have you tried rebooting? In the Control Panel, select Sounds, select Speakers as default, remove headphones plug from jack.

Sounds like you have them plugged into the wrong jack

Either the speaker is bad or broken wire OR more likely the headphone jack is the issue---when jack comes out it lets a leaf in the socket engage the speaker back----when used a lot the jack causes no sound.

it seems like the headphones do not work anymore. Do you have any other headphones that you can use. You could also call the company that you got the headphones from and see if they can repair them or replace them for you. If you bought it from ebay or amazon just find the person you bought it from and ask them if you can send it back for a new pair.

sounds like your speakers are faulty set

The lit indication ("amp bars") proves that the aduio signal is getting through the unit's circuitry @ least to that point; lack of sound @ the spkr & headphones indicates the amplifier portion of the circuitry is either inoperative or disconnected from the load (i.e., either the speakers, or the headphones). A common cause of this type of problem cropping up unexpectedly is the headphone jack itself; in most products of this type, the audio path from the amplifier output to the speaker connection runs through the headphone jack, so the the speakers may be "turned off" when the headphones' plug is inserted into the jack. If the unit's owner uses headphones regularly, the most common problem to be found with the jack is loose solder connections to the printed circuit board's traces from the jacks' lead(s); in units with this problem whose owner's irregularly use the headphones, it's more common to find oxidization of the electrical contacts within the jack itself.

Hello Again,

When you Plug in HeadPhones into the Laptop the Sound Playing should automatically Bi-Pass the Speakers and go Straight to the Headphones

-Unless there is a Faulty Input for the Speaker/ Headphone, Try Pushing in the Headphones More to see if the Speakers Turn Off

You can:

• Unplug the speakers or turn them off when using your headphones
• Mute the speakers from the Windows Volume Mixer (found in START -> Assecories -> Entertainment)

I have the same thing - I have speakers and Bose® headphones. What I did was get an Audio splitter, and just turn my speakers off when I'm not using it. If I want to use my speakers, I just don't put on the headphones.

Hope this helps,

Unfortunately, I believe this is by design. The knob does not control the volume of the headphone jack on those speakers. The best you can do is set the volume control in Windows so that the headphone volume is acceptable and turn the knob up higher for speaker listening.
