Sound card and speakers

raguillen · 12-03-2008, 03:26 PM

I have a HP latop dv9287cl. I think am having prblems with my sound card or spekers because my internal speakers wont give sound and when I connect my headphones only the right one gives sound and I remove them, no sound comes the speakers still. I tried uninstalling the sound card and formatting the computer and the same problem persists. What can I do to solve the problem or find the real problem and fix?

It appears that that is not uncommon and usually (not always, though) has to do with a switch inside of the headphone jack not properly switching when you unplug your headphones. The fix, if you don't want to take it into the shop, is to repeatedly insert and remove the headphone from the jack . Also, blowing canned air into the headphone jack seems to help as well.

Here is a thread that talks about this in detail.
