My Dell 710m laptop no longer produces sound from the speakers. Headphones work fine, but nothing from the speakers. All sound/volume settings are on. Any advice?

you have to go to audio sound setting and select headphone

andys_cars,

You may need to go into the sound properties and then to deviceto change the settings to enable the speakers and change it from headphones to speakers.

Thank You,

hi
maybe you have loss in jack connection otherwise check sound setting in volume bar right corner of desktop

Please connect an external speaker or headphones and check if you get sound. If sound works then the issue is with the onboard speakers in the laptop.

If sound does not work with the external speakers or headphones then the issue could be with the sound card driver or settings.

Do these headphones work OK in another machine??

If not they are faulty / If so then sound port may be faulty.
'Ensure it is enabled in BIOS. press DEL key when booting and look for similar.

Are you have the headphones and speakers both pluged in? When you plug in headphones the speakers get muted. You need to change your sound settings back to your sound card if you use usb headphones. The plug on the front of the 4700 also automatically mutes the speakers.

check the corresponding drivers

Connecting headphones to the system will disabled the internal speakers until the headphone jack is disconnected, at which such time the internal speakers should function again.

If you disconnect the headphones and the internal speakers are not re-activated, then there may be damaged to the microswitch in the jack. (Try rebooting after the headphones are disconnected too)

Chances are that the wires connecting the speakers to the main board have been cut. The same thing happened on my 710m, I no longer have any sound and have been trying to figure out how to get replacements, I've found a few on Google, but have some apprehension about opening up the whole thing and replacing them.
Hope yours is just a driver problem.

Check the sound card system Can your hear through headphones for example?
