Laptop - sounds won't play through the speakers, only through the headphones?
The settings if you are using Windows 7 are located in the control panel under audio. You need to go to playback devices, and set your speakers, not your line out jack as the default playback device (this works for Vista also). If you are using XP, it will be under control panel as well, under speakers. If neither of these options go, in the control panel should be an application called Realtek HD audio device manager (or something similar). It should have similar options about changing your default audio device. Good luck!
My laptop speaker is getting cracking sounds! What can I do to solve it?
You’ve likely been playing sound at a volume that was too loud for the speakers, for far too long.Crackling during audio playback, especially if it gets progressively worse AND it is always present to some degree, is typically a sign of blown speakers. It is possible that some audio files were encoded improperly, or that they included distortion that would sound like crackling… but that would be intermittent, or only present when you played those audio files.Laptop speakers weren’t meant to be used at near full volume for the majority of their use. That’s what would blow them though. If you regularly used your laptop to fill a room with sound, the speakers wouldn’t last much longer than a couple of years.At any rate, you can hope that it is the speakers, because they would be relatively inexpensive to replace or work around. A search on eBay for your model laptop and the word “speakers’ might turn up a few people who are selling the parts of their laptop. You might do a Google search for your model laptop and the word “speakers” to find a retailer selling a set.If the problem is caused by the audio chipset… well… for one thing, you’d hear the crackling in headphones and from the speakers. I don’t know if that is what is happening, but I can say that it would be one way to see if it was the speakers.So… crackling in the speakers, but it goes away with heaphones or earbuds? Get new speakers. Crackling in the speakers and the heaphones? That’s either something in the OS, or the chipset. Boot to a Linux LiveCD. Still crackles? Then it is hardware. Crackling go away with Linux at the same volumes? Problem is somewhere in your installation of Windows.What can you do to solve it? Diagnose the problem down to the cause.
My laptop speakers sound like they have echo?
you must have a program somewhere on your computer with different sound effects. it comes along with the sound card (in a laptop the sound chip). there you can set effects like "Bathroom", "Cave", "Small Room with Rock Walls", "Arena" a.s.o. go in that program and reset the sound effects. look for a name like Realtek HD Audio-Manager (RTHDCPL.EXE) PS. i have such a tool with additional karaoke settings beside the above mentioned sound effects, where i can also make the sound faster and slower.
Audio Equipment: Is the loud popping sound when you plug/unplug your speakers bad for them?
Most speaker cones are driven from a power amplifier.. The pop - like you said - is a transient spike. But the important thing here is that it gets amplified up through the pre-amp and into the power amp.. Speakers usually move in the ol' in-out fashion with respect the the voltage at the input.. and a big spike could loosen the cone from its suspension mechanism.. The higher the power and the more delicate the cone - the more the danger to the speakers ( what is normal for a woofer cone, could end blowing up a tweeter cone) . For e.g. In live events, where high output PA speakers are used, this is a very serious issue - because such a spike could throw the speaker cone out of its place, and it wouldn't work from that point on. For this reason, some high end audio equipment have a limiter at the output, that prevents signal from exceeding a certain predefined limit. So any occuring transients would never hit the cone at a level that is unhealthy to them.Most home audio equipment tends to operate at lower levels. That being said, there is still some damage inflicted on the speakers - just maybe not of the same magnitude.. especially the smaller ones.If your system has a remote control, it might be wise to hit a mute button just before you change to another input... or maybe find a way to turn off just the speakers (if separately powered) before you interchange the connection.Hope this wasn't too star warsy :)
How do I play music out of all speakers in my 5.1 logitech PC sound system?
Okay, so when you play games and movies, which are usually split into five audio channels, you get sound in every speaker. When you play music however, you only get sound out of 2 speakers. This is because music is only separated into two channels. If your speaker system has different playback modes, you could change those, as some modes will bring the the left channel to the front AND rear left speakers. If you found that adjusting the Realtek HD doesn't work and the the speaker system mode change doesn't work, you might just have to live with it.

How do i change my laptops audio codec? (default is beats audio)?
Make sure the drivers you want to install support your sound card. You can find more information about your speakers and audio card on HP website, and check on sigma tel's website if they support your audio card. I have a Dell, and they give IDT audio codec for my laptop, and its perfect for me. I would recommend you to use the one given for your specific laptop. However, its your laptop, and your decision will prevail.
