No sound on laptop speaker after using HDMI cable?

Question

I have dell m1330 laptop. I used it with HDMI cable to hook it up to my TV. Sound and picture on the TV are perfect. But when I removed the HDMI cable from my laptop I lost the sound on my laptop speakers. If I use my laptop with headphone or external speaker, they work fine. I tried everything but cannot get the sound to work. Any suggestions? The laptop is running Win XP. Thanks!

Answer 1

start > control panel > hardware and sound > sound.

It will open a window, and under the first tab which is playback, right click what ever is there and select show disconnected devices, and show disabled devices.



Now right click on speakers and select set as default device.

Answer 4

I know this is kind of old, but I had a similar problem and the only thing that worked for me was going to the Sound menu that's displayed (from Control Panel), right clicking Speakers, then clicking Properties, then the Enhancements tab, then clicking "disable all enhancements".



Even though none of them were actually enabled or anything, when disable is activated, my speakers work. When it's not, my speakers stop working. I'd like to know why this non-sense fix works, but for anyone whos tried everything else, try that.
