HP dv9000t - Speakers stopped working today (headphones are fine)

[VoltronAD]

Hello -
I have the HP DV 9000t and so far I love this machine. However, as of today my built-in speakers are not producing any sound. When I plugin headphones to either headphone jack I can hear sounds just fine, so I do not believe this is a problem with the soundcard. I talked to a live-chat HP rep and they said I have to send it in - but I really cannot be without this machine as it is my main work computer. Can anyone help me get the speakers working?

So far I have:
1) Made sure that nothing is muted in the sound options
2) Made sure "laptop speakers" are selected in the control panel>sound propeties.
3) Plugged in headphones and can hear sound fine (from either headphone jack).


Thank you for any help.

Some laptops have the option to turn off the integrated speakers, that way the only way to hear sound is through the headphone port. To see if your laptop has this enabled go to the volume control panel by clicking on the little speaker in the task bar. Once that is open if there isn't a button that says "Advanced" under the main volume control go to the options menu and select "Advanced Controls" then go back and click the "Advanced" button. Look for a check box with something that says "PC Spk Mute" or something similar. This might not be your problem, but something easy worth checking.

Thank you for that suggestion - I did check and there is nothing like that checked in my advanced options. Any other thoughts?

I just tried headphones again and they are working perfect so I'm guessing its something directly related to the speakers.

Is your bass set very high? Do you use the speakers constantly? Do you listen to audio at a very high volume setting?

If you can answer "yes," it's very likely that the speakers just blew out, and you'll have to replace them.

Hi, I think its not the right moment but soon ill get dv9000t, what do you think about it?what is you specf.?

[VoltronAD]

I don't listen to them very loud - I think if they were blown I'd still hear some sound, albeit all jacked up.

Spitfire - I love this laptop. Aside from the speaker problem it has been nothing but wonderful. Everything I expected as far as speed/etc. In fact, thats why I can't send it in for repair - it has quickly become my main computer and I am now doing all my work on it (web development).

I faced the same problem for my new DV9005t. No voice come out from the speakers. I therefore sent it back to HP, they said it is due to sound card failure and had to change the mainboard. At last, they gave me a new one.

I also face this problem recently , my headphones are working fine ,but the speakers aren't. (i guess its a problem from vista updates). i tried to reinstall the sound driver again. but nothing happened
