I used to get sound with external speakers now nothing. I have downloaded the drivers and still the external speakers do not work. The laptop speakers work fine

new software download for this site
www.filehippo.com
and download alcc888

there are some reasons that your internal laptop sound is not working
1. the speaker is on MUTE 2. the sound driver might be corrupted and you will need to download and install the sound driver. If you have the UTILITY DISK came with your computer locate the sound driver and install it

Hi,

Welcome to FixYa!

What do you mean it stopped working? No sound at all?

Please try the following:

1. Please make sure the sound is not set to mute. Try to adjust the sound volume.

2. Reinstall the audio driver. You can do this using the drivers disc that came with the computer or you can download the audio driver from the computer manufacturer's website: http://support.lenovo.com.

3. Try to connect an external speakers or headset. If you can hear sound on an external speakers or headset then the internal speakers of your laptop is already defective.

Hope that helps. Thank you for using FixYa!

There was a problem with the internal speakers with this model.
Firstly, try a pair of external speakers plugged into the sound port, if these work , the issue lies with the internal ones.

If there is no sound through the external speakers, check that you have the sound driver installed, that the volume is set using the FN and F keys and that the sound icon on the desktop bar does not have a x through it indicating it is disabled.

You can download an updated sound driver from the Dell site, although i think Windows 7 comes with its own sound driver for this.

If the problem points to the internal speakers, you have a few choices:
Return the laptop to Dell under warranty (if it is under warranty)
Try to obtain a set of internal speakers and replace these
Takr the laptop to a computer shop and get them to check the internal speakers and repair if necessary

For sound issue first thing you can do is, to connect an external speaker or headphones if you have one to check if its working on this notebook if its working then its an issue with your notebook speaker if not its software issue for which you can reinstall the drivers

note : do not forget to check the sound setting first

Hi. Try plugging in an external speaker just to test the issue. It could be just the speaker of the laptop is having the problem. If you were able to hear the sound from the external speaker then the problem is the built in speaker of the computer. If there is no sound coming out to external speakers. Try to reinstall the driver of your soundcard.

perform diags on speakers using drivers disc -if no sound from speaker replace speaker

if using XP, go to start control panel , sound and audio devices.Under the audio tab make sure the C Media CM106 sound device is selected under sound playback. Then under the volume tab set the volume somewhere in the middle or at the top if you don;t have active speakers . Then Under Speaker settings advanced, make sure the speaker setup is set to Laptop Stereo speakers. Also make sure the speaker volumes are up on the speaker volume button. click ok. If no result check that the cm106 sound decvice was cemented in as I saw it dissaper when I thought i had slected it. I think the key thing here is the device and the laptop speakers setting.

go to control panel and find out what brand and modile your sound card is ten go to the manifactures website and download the drivers for that sound card but note unistall the sound card from the device manager first then once you have the drivers downloaded restart your computer and let windows find the driver for you if it says it cant find the driver install it manualy from the location of wich you saved that driver software you downloaded and the problem should fix itself
