Problem with speakers/headphones on Compaq 610

the connection of speakers may be loosen or the audio circuit gone faulty

What do you mean by fix? Is it physically broken? It's attached to the motherboard so you'd have a time fixing it.

Try the following steps:
Open your laptop carefully (look out for fragile ribbon cables) !
Check for a broken wire going to the internal speaker.
Check for a faulty contact at the audio output jack (these things have a contact which disconnects the internal speaker when a plug is connected).
Temporarily connect any speaker in the place of the internal speaker.
If the problem is still the internal speaker, remove it and go to any good audio components shop and buy an equivalent speaker.
Hope this helps.

please up date your sound driver online and try again


please vote me and rate it

perhaps your speakers have come unplugged inside---if your headphone jack works, then it probably isn't a common software issue.

Hi Friend, In this case I would recommend you to please check if the default audio device is selected as Speakers instead of Headphones.
In order to check that please right click on the sound icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screen and goto the sound dialog box and make sure that the default device is selected as Speakers instead of Headphones.
Please let me know if it was of some help.
Thank you.

Hello,
The inbuilt speakers on my laptop do not work. I believe the headphone input socket to be the problem because when i stick my headphones in it only works if i squeeze the laptop near the socket. The input has been quite heavily used so i'm quite certain its broken somehow. Anyway, my layman theorising has led me to the conlcusion that my laptop thinks that headphones are plugged in when they're not and so disables the speaker so maybe if i could disable the headphone input the speakers might work. I'm sorry if this sounds confusing but my computer knowledge is really, really limited. Any help would be massively appreciated. thanks
