great post a Viewsonic with sound , none of mine have it. 2007 monitor old, most are dead now. I hate those dinky shrill speakers inside. NO PC told (a nebular Laptop) no OS told but windows has a sound mixer that allows me to pick 4 or more sound output devices, 1 at a time not all at once. well when you connect the external speakers to any PC 3.5mm phone jack outputs, that switch in that jack cuts the sound inside the laptop dead BY DESIGN. why would you want trash shrill speakers inside the laptop with super find sounding external speakers at the same time. trash + great sound = trash. why want this??? no body does. nor if you plug in head phones to same jack the same thing happens speakers go dead, for privacy, (you and the others around) lets see external speakers not told, usb or 3.5mm phone plugs. headphones USB or 3.5mm or both>? and the View sonic has speakers? let me look now. the manual shows (stereo mini jack, for VX2450wm-LED only<<< got this? the manual shows 3.5mm mini audio in jack this means this opted monitor as amplified speakers inside and when connected to phones on any laptop the laptop for sure has its internal speakers muted,
NO textual speakers told. besides monitors all external speakers must have and amp , audio power amp or the speaker are dead. the phone jacks NOT drive any raw wired speakers ever. same with desktop green rear jack is line out or phones. not raw spearks if you do have AMP speaker it needs to have power to run.. AC or DC power packs. the amp must be good, some old ones are not. it must amplified the sound to the actual speakers. the switch in the 3.5mm phones jack is hardware and disables the internal LAP speakers by Design. make sure the sound mixer is set to the correct output;.\ seen here
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.
Try system restore, if it fails, try to perform 32 bit dell diagnostics on the audio by booting the computer using the resource cd. make sure that the external speakers is disconnected. if still no sound on the diagnostics then you need to replace the internal speakers.
Plug in your external speakers then go to system preferences then sound when in the sound control panel go to the output tab and select the external speakers as the device for sound output and of course at the bottom of the control panel make sure that the mute check box is unchecked and turn up the volume. Hope this helps
EXTERNAL SPEAKERS: If your are plugging speakers into your headphone jack and they dont play, but you plug headphones into the same port and they work fine.. then it is the external speakers.
INTERNAL SPEAKERS: But if you are using the speakers in the laptop, then your speakers are probably bad. Try some software settings, but probly just bad speakers. Could also be that the speaker cord inside the laptop came unplugged from the motherboard. In which case you would have to take the laptop apart and plug it back into the motherboard.
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.
if you want to get more sound from your laptop you need to buy external speakers. To get the best result when you are shopping for speakers look for some that take an external power source (AC adaptor that plugs into the wall)
