No Speakers or headphones are plugged in

[jesse8pie]

Hi iv had this problem for about a month now every time i want to use my sound it just says 'No Speakers or headphones are plugged in'
I have tried everything
- system restore
- plug my headphones in but it does nothing
- uninstalling it/ re installing it
- keeping it up to date
and i tried a few other stuff which didn't work for me if anyone has recommendations or can help i will be very grateful.

Please fill in the "My System Specs". then we will know what PC/hardware we are dealing with.

can i just write it hear?

 

[fireberd]

Yes, but in the future you could run into the same issue since it's not in your "My System Specs".

Click on "user cp" at the top of this page and then click on "Edit System Spec" and you can enter your PC info. If you don't know it all just enter what you do know. e.g. if its a factory built PC, the PC Model Number and Manufacturer are important. If its a custom/home built the motherboard vendor and model number are important.

Model # of laptop is probably most important detail, But...

What is listed in Device Manager under the heading of Sound, video, and game controllers?

Anything have Exclamation points next to them?

 

[jesse8pie]

No there is no exclamation mark next to it

One thing I notice from what system specs you posted, the Sound is listed as "High Definition Audio Device" which suggests the generic, basic function, Windows installed sound driver instead of the correct Acer Driver.

Suggest, as a start, the correct Acer supplied sound driver be installed.
Since you didn't list the Acer laptop model number, I can't link you to the correct download.

Isn't my laptop model the one listed under motherboard

Do you have speakers plugged in? , If so ... click on the control panel and then click sound.
Click the speakers, then click the 'properties button' (bottom right) ... make sure it's set like this image. then clik apply and OK your way out.

this should be my system model 'Aspire M5-481T'

 

[fireberd]

If that's the Model Number it should listed in the System Manufacture/Model Number line.

I didn't find that model (its not listed at Acer) but a 4810T is listed.

Here is the link to the Windows 7 64 bit downloads. Acer | Download

[jesse8pie]

this shows most of my laptops details if it helps

 

[fireberd]

Those links are invalid.

The RealTek shows as the correct driver for the 4810T, if that is your model. Usually just clicking on the file will install, however some come with instructions.

 

[jesse8pie]

i downloaded and instaled the sound driver but it still didn't fix it

Is the Speakers (your realtek sound) set as the default audio playback device?

Go to the Control Panel/Hardware and Sound and finally Sound. In the Playback section, your "Speakers" should be set as the default playback device. You can also click the Configure button and test them there.
