Headphones work, but built in speakers don't

Can anyone help me? When I plug my headphones into my computer they work
fine, but when I take them out, I have not sound from my computer speakers.
The volume control in the bottom corner says that no audio devices are
installed. What's wrong?

Re: Headphones work, but built in speakers don't

Hello jerod,

what kind of head phones are they are? Are they USB headphones or normal
ones?
If they are normal ones with the normal headphone jack, do you plug it in to
the
socket in the back where the speakers go? And if you do take out the
headphones,
do you plug the speakers back in?

You said built in speakers...

where are these speakers? Is this a laptop you are talking about or
are the speakers built into your monitor?

Re: Headphones work, but built in speakers don't


I found this problem appears when i shutdown my notebook with the
headphones plugged in, but start up the notebook with them out, all you
need to do to fix the problem is plug the headphones in for ten seconds,
then unplug them while logged into vista.

Re: Headphones work, but built in speakers don't

You might have a sound app running in the background which doesn't re-
scan the status when it starts up again. Try looking for updates for
your audio drivers or audio control panel software, as it is likely
this bug will have been fixed in a later version.
