No sound from laptop speakers (says headphones are in + other symptoms) - sound card?
Hey all, I'm new here, very frustrated, and hoping I can get this solved.
My computer is a HP dv7-2185DX in total stock form.
I have no sound coming from my speakers. I don't know of any specific trigger. A friend ejected my iPod and walked off with it, but that's the only action I can think of done on the computer for a while.
Looking in the IDT Audio panel it says the following:
With no headphones in - it shows that I have a pair plugged in my middle jack.
With headphones on the left (mic) jack - it shows a mic plugged in and nothing else
With headphones in the middle - it shows both headphone jacks as filled (the one on the right shows up as filled too)
With headphones on the right - it shows both headphone jacks as filled (the one on the right shows up as filled too)
EDIT: More symptoms:
Now it shows the wrong front panel in the IDT Audio screen. It shows as 2-jack layout with mic (L) / headphone (R)
When I plug in phones in my PC into the jacks on the front, it shows as follows....
R side headphone - shows in screen as the right jack
Middle headphone - shows in screen as the right jack
L Mic - shows in screen as the left side mic
** When my phones are plugged in the Mic jack sound is produced under both situations. **
I'd appreciate any help I can get. I already tried rolling back the IDT Audio CODEC (one of the few things I can think to do in this situation, hoping it will help.) I'm going to re-update it and see if that helps, but anything beyond, I'm clueless.
Thanks a bunch all!
