I did this by going to Control Panel > Sound >Īnd you'll see the speakers there. I was going insane and thought about unistalling my sound cards and installing new ones, but I'm not good with computers and was going to mess it all up worse, so I decided not to.Īnyway, I couldn't find an answer, and non of yours seemed to work, so I fooled around with them, and finally ended up Making the Conexant speaker the default speakers. My laptop (gateway) was working perfectly fine until I plugged in a pair of headphones, then all my sound completely went away. There are other two which I found to be useless so I won't name them. I'm running a Vista Home Premium 6-bit laptop/notebook, and my sound drivers/cards are "Avnex Virtal Audio Device" and "Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221" I had the same problem most of you have or had.

This is my best hunch for dealing with the issue, but I don't quite know how to go about correcting this.Hey guys, I was actually reading all your comments in hopes of finding a solution myself. The two listed options are "1-digital display audio" and 2 "speakers/headphones". The other suggestion was to make sure my headphones are my default option. The drivers within this category all are updated already. The two primary ones I saw being update your sound drivers which if I navigate to my device manager, I only see one category related to sound called "sound video and game controllers". I have already searched online and found various suggestions to fix this. I doubt its an issue with my headphone jack because I'm incredibly careful with it when I plug in and remove my headphone cords. It's not an issue with the headphones because I have tried them on other computers and I have tried other headphones on my laptop. With my relatively new laptop, my headphone jack was working just fine up until a few days ago when all of the sudden for as far as I can tell, my headphone jack stopped working.
