    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.

    no sound plays through internal speakers

    Internet Audio Playing Through Internal Speaker

    I'm running a Dell OptiPlex 990 with Windows 10 and IE11. All sounds go out to a set of external speakers plugged into the rear panel, except audio originated from websites (Google News links, Nest, YouTube, etc.) Those sounds play through the internal
    speaker of my desktop computer. What can I do to have all sounds play through the external speakers?
