speakers wont work

[skatblast]

Ok so i have done some troubleshooting but this makes no sense but im sure somebody here will be able to help me quickly.

 

Basically i moved last weekend, and when i hooked everything back up to my PC the speakers didn't work. But when i plug them into my laptop they work perfectly fine.

 

- i reinstalled the hd realtek drivers

- the speakers are set to the default audio device

- the speakers are not disabled in sound properties.

-they dont work when i plug them into the front audio port either

 

Why would this work on another computer but not mine?!

What are the speakers? Have you changed the default audio device in 'Audio devices'?

Did you introduce anything new to your PC setup? Maybe the PC is pushing sound to an HDMI cord or something instead of the audio jacks.

At least I am trying unlike your hate post, plus I'm ill so don't judge. All the same, at least my first question still stands.

What speakers are you using? If they're active, have you turned them on? and if they've got an internal volume control make sure it's not at zero.

I did add a extra monitor with a hdmi cord. I just tried to use the speaker with the monitor plugged from the graphics card and it still didnt work. Makes no sense. Im going to just do a full reinstall of windows and see what happens

If you've added a monitor over HDMI then you've probably fallen foul of windows loving HDMI for audio and automagically setting it to the default.

 

Go into playback devices and simply select the correct output and set it as the default device. You can also disable the HDMI audio output devices there.

 

Nuke and pave is massively overkill for any audio issue.

Heres a image of my playback devices. Its set as default but still plays no sound. When i plug it into my laptop the speakers work immediately. Also a image of what comes up when i plug in the speaker. The computer knows its plugged in and is set to default and still plays nothing.

By the looks of it you're simply using the wrong output on the motherboard. That should be showing 'front speaker out' for what you want to do. You won't get any output from that unless you're using a surround source. Check the motherboard manual for which output is the front left and right.

Oh my god that is what it was. I have a msi motherboard and for some reason every output is black and i kept putting it into the one next to the correct port. I didnt have sound for like 3 weeks because of that lmao.

 

Thanks
