Sound is working but internal speaker is not working

After plugging headphones into the headphone jack yesterday, the internal speaker no longer seems to work. sound still comes out through the headphone jack [headphones or speakers] but there is nothing coming out of the speaker. rebooting didn't help, settings seem correct. any thoughts on getting the internal speaker to work? Dell D410 laptop model.

thanks!

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)

I have an acer iconia A500 tablet but get no sound coming from the speakers only when headphones are connected how do I get sound back coming from speakers without using headphones

The headphone jack needs to be replaced. Sound gets switched from speakers to headphone there. When the headphone plug is removed from the tablet the connection inside the jack is lost.

Laptop headphone port not working

First of all check all driver/software settings, secondly ensure you have the latest driver for your sound device installed. Then proceed with the following:

Have you tried another set of headphones, did they work? Do you get sound from the internal speakers if nothing is plugged into the headphone jack? Do you still get sound from the internal speakers when you plug in your headphones?
If you answered yes to most of, if not all of those questions you are likely to need your jack socket replacing.

If you haven't tried another set of headphones, or other 3.5mm jack audio device, do it and let me know the results.

If the answer is no to any of the other questions please let me know which ones and I will try to offer more advise.

Suddenly there is no sound in the speaker but headphone works fine..laptop is Lenovo B575

If the head phone jack works its more likely to be the problem, if you use the headphone jack a lot the connections inside it can get worn or bent out of shape--engaging the headphone jack should shut the speakers in the unit off.

Other possible reason is a bad speaker or connections.

No Sound, Windows 7 laptop

Is the speaker plug it the right connector and inserted all the way? Are you using the headphones jack? Do headphones work in the jack? Is the sounds section in Control Panel function properly ? TroubleShooting? What? Drivers? Power on speakers? Check connections/wiring?

Headphone jack not working

Hi,

I find that there is a problem with your headphone speaker.
Try with some other headphone, even if it is not working, then you need to take it to the service center.

The external speakers attached to my m audio prokeys 88sx are no longer working. I have replaced the fuses in both but the fuses blow on power up. I then used the keyboard with a set of headphones. One of...

It is NOT likely the keyboard is "killing the speakers"... OR the headphones for that matter.

I suspect the problem is bad switch contacts in the headphone jack that cut off the speaker line outputs when headphones are plugged into the pro keys. These jacks are, to put it bluntly, JUNK... they are EASILY damaged by pulling the cable plugged into them sideways. You will need to service the unit.

I can't hear any sound on my verizon wireless razzle phone. It just stopped working after i plugged in headphones what is wrong with my phone?

I had this very same thing happen to me yesterday after listening to music with my headphones. After unplugging them, the speaker would no longer work nor the speakerphone.

After trying many things without success, I was finally able to resolve this by plugging back in the headphone cable and pushing the jack around a little bit to the side until I could hear sound.

I did this while trying to place an MP3 just to make it easier. So far this has worked fine. But now I am reluctant to use the headphones any more.
I know your post was several months ago so this may or may not be helpful.

No sound output from rear speaker jack

Plugging headphones into the computer will disable sound output from the sound card by design.
