  1. Only headphones working


    Hi

    As of today, only my headphones are working. The speakers dont't work at all. I have a coda spirit laptop been using it for about 6 months now and never had this problem before. I am thinking as I use the headphones a lot has perhaps a 'spec' of something got stuck in the headphone jack making the computer 'think' the headphones are plugged in? Pure guesswork as that's what happened with a phone I used to own. I have tried making the headphones my default device but on the sound section of the control panel only one device shows, which is the speakers, and it is showing as my default device. Do I need to install the drivers again?



    Any help would be greatly appreciated.



    Thanks.

    Speakers and headphones work at the same time

    Hi.

    Let us isolate your concern by answering these few questions.

    • Have you tried connecting your headphones directly to your desktop?
    • Does your speaker work normally when connected to your desktop?
    You may try the following steps to help resolve your concern:

    • Unplug or Disconnect your speaker from the desktop.
    • Connect your headphone directly to the desktop.
    If the headphone works properly when directly connected to the desktop, we suggest that you contact your speaker manufacturer for assistance.

    Let us know how it goes.
