Sound only works with headphones or ext.speakers
My friend's laptop has a weird problem. It was running vista fine, sound worked and everything. One day, the internal speakers randomly stopped emitting any sound. However, they do make sound effect sounds while the computer is booting... so they're not broken.
I figured it was a software problem, so he just reformatted and installed 7. Same problem. Makes the booting up noises, "Gamers Republic... BOOM", obviously coming from the internal speakers. Once into windows, in the HD control panel, it shows as something being plugged into the green analog input, but nothing is plugged in. So, no matter what, windows is detecting that he has speakers plugged into his laptop so it refuses to use his internal speakers.
His only option is to use headphones / external speakers.
Drivers are up to date.
Any ideas?
PC - Asus G50vt
OS - Windows 7 RC 64bit
Ram - 4 gigs
CPU - honestly, no idea. Core 2 duo something.
Sound - "Realtek HD Audio" ... That's all I know.
