I have a HP Pavilion which my ada885 was working with for about a

Year. I can use headphones and hear sound from the computor but not with the ada885 system . When I push the diagnostic button on the sobwoofer all of the speakers can be heard. One time I restored my computor to an earlier date and the sound started to work for a few days. I think autoupdate caused me to loose it but that is a guess. It seems to be around the time windows vista service pac 2 was loaded. Any thoughts?

SOURCE: ADA885 Clicking

A few possibilities exist. I would first check all the connections, and wiggle all the connectors and plugs to see if any one of them is causing it including the power cable. Also try to play with the ON/OFF/Volume switch to see if that's intermittent. Second, for quick isolation of the problem I would connect them to another PC - did the clicking and flickering go away? If it did, then your PC's audio circuitry is causing it - possibilities: defective audio card, or Motherboard (MB) if it has integrated audio, bad connections on MB or audio card, if you're also using analog audio connections going from the back of your CD/DVD RW to the audio card/MB then remove those wires and see if that problem goes away - those wires are notorious for picking up all kinds of noise and feeding that noise to your audio controller. One other thing to try is to completely uninstall and reinstall the audio drivers or even try a different revision.

SOURCE: Model ADA885 Power went out. ACP

the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
or you might have to clean the dust from your computer dust causes static which causes your computer to overheat and all sorts of problems
be sure to wear an anti static earth strap before touching anything inside your computer try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the CPU central processing unit and your SOUND CARD dust causes static to build up in a computer causing it to overheat any many other problems
hope this helps

Res.sir, i have a hp pavilion dv2000 laptop in this laptop headphone not work

first of all check whether the port is working correctly or not. For that use any other headphones. If they are working then ur present headphone set is gone. Or else if it is also not working then goto control panel -- sound and audio devices and then go to volume --advanced and increase the volume of all the devices present there..and correctly configure Sound Effects Manager which is present in the control panel ..in that u can configure the type of speakers u use or headphones ..there u adjust it to headphone..then the job is done..

Sound is not working on my hp laptop

I had the same problem; my laptop's speakers suddenly stopped working but I could still use the headphones and sound was fine.

I played around a while and searched the net; and I got them to work:

Open Control Panel- Sound, Speech, Audio Devices-------->
1) Audio Tab
2) Under 'Sound Playback' hit Advanced
3) At the bottom where it has Speaker Setup change it to "Laptop Stereo Speakers" (mine was initially on "Desktop Stereo Speakers" for some odd reason)

Problem solved, Thank God (Alhamdulilah)!

Hope it works out for you :)

Headphone Speaker Jack Needs Replacement

That honestly sounds more like a headphone wire problem than anything else. If you have another headset, headphones or speaker system that you can hook up, I would test it on those to try to rule that out as a problem.

If that isnt it, I can try to find the disassembly instructions for your laptop. (Unless your warranty is still good, in which case I would tell you to send it in and get it fixed professionally.)
