My laptop isn't playing audio on it's speakers, only when it's connected to headphones. I checked the default device and it's set on speakers. I also tried troubleshooting, didn't help either.

    To resolve the audio issue on your Windows laptop where sound only plays through headphones and not the speakers, you can try the following steps:

    1. Check Audio Connections: Ensure that your speakers are properly connected and powered on. If they are external speakers, check the cables and connections.
    2. Sound Settings: Go to Settings > System > Sound and verify that the correct output device is selected. If your speakers are listed, make sure they are set as the default device.
    3. Device Manager: Open Device Manager and check if there are any issues with the audio drivers. You can right-click on the audio device and select Update driver or Uninstall device and then restart your computer to reinstall the driver.
    4. Sound Control Panel: Open the Sound Control Panel by typing mmsys.cpl in the Run dialog (Win + R). In the Playback tab, ensure that your speakers are enabled. Right-click and select Show Disabled Devices to see if they are disabled.
    5. Troubleshoot Audio: Use the built-in troubleshooter by going to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Playing Audio and follow the prompts.
    6. Check for Windows Updates: Sometimes, updating Windows can resolve driver issues. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, there may be a hardware problem with the speakers or the audio output.

    Hi ,

    As you described, it could be a hardware problem; the laptop speakers aren't working.

    However, we can check the drivers to be sure.

    What is the model of your laptop?

    Thanks
