Sony Vaio sound issue

trumpetboy2 · 01-27-2009, 03:28 PM

My Sony Vaio is about a year old and has recently been having a problem. It doesn't make any noise sometimes. I turn the volume all the way up, and not a sound comes out of the speakers. I've tried using external speakers, and headphones, and they won't work either. I've also tried using different programs such as itunes, Windows media player, and even youtube, and I can't get any sound. I had this issue about a month ago, but then it just went away on it's own, and it started again a few days ago. Anybody have any idea how to fix this issue?

Check first settings in Control Panel (Sound/Audio settings) and make sure you have the correct default device selected.

I checked that, the volume controls were up all the way

There is a VOICE and AUDIO tabs, go and see each tab. There is a parameter there for DEFAULT DEVICE... if there are several listed in the drop down list, go thru each one and see which one works for you.
