Windows 10: Internal speakers not recognised and sound not working.

Hey!I have had my HP Z book for a while now and my audio has stopped working for over 3/4th year now. I know, i should have let it fixed in the warranty but oh well... anyway. After 3/4th year im done with always having to use bluetooth headphones and never being able to use my sound. The problem:1. My audio and basic internal speakers do not work anymore. And my laptop can not find the speakers, only previous bluetooth speakers. 2. My audio jack does not work anymore.3. My laptop only finds bluetooth devices which it can connect to. I have already tried: nothing workeddownloading new Real

no sound plays through internal speakers

I cannot get any sound to play through the internal speakers of my laptop. It did play previously. The speaker in the task bar has a red and white x and the trouble shooter says no speakers headphones plugged in. When I pull up the info on sound it lists
its location at HDMI port. Suggestions?

 

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.
