Windows 10: internal speaker/sound system

my realtek sound is grey out and I can not use the system speaker, only an attached device, how can I make the internal sound/speaker operational again?

Switching off internal computer speakers

This is a subject that has been raised before but Microsoft seems to refuse to answer. As a result of a previous update to Windows 10, the internal computer speakers work as well as the external sound system. There is no apparent way to switch off the
internal speakers and just have the external sound system working. A previous contributor suggested that Microsoft had a solution to this bug but wouldn't elaborate. This seemed very childish.

I ask the question again: Could someone give a step by step process for switching off internal computer speakers AND leaving the external speakers working. I have tried every setting but nothing fixes the problem. Surely this isn't rocket science and
it would be easy for Microsoft to write a bug fix???

Lack of action just infuriates users unnecessarily.

 

Had sound; unhooked to repair another computer; now sound from internal speaker o n l y ! !

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

To better understand the query, please answer the following questions:

1. What is the make and model of the computer?

2. What exactly do you mean by "internal speaker"?

3. Is there any audio port in the monitor?

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps:

1. Right click on the sound icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".

2. If the monitor speaker is listed, check if its enabled.

3. If its enabled, set it as default and check if it helps.

Let us know the result.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
