Headphone jack on my Toshiba satellite doesn't work. When I plug my headphones in the computer, speakers play fine. I know it's not the headphone because they work on everything else I've tried.
When I go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound, it doesn't show the headphone jack.
It only shows the AMD HDMI output and the speakers.
How do I get my headphone jack to work?
System Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 24.0.1312.56
Please try to uninstall and then reinstall the Audio Drivers for the Sound Card in your Toshiba Laptop and then check if the Headphones still don't work. If you have difficulty finding the Drivers, kindly reply with the Exact System Model Number of your Toshiba Laptop or the Device Instance Id of Sound Card in the machine. To get the Device Instance ID:
1. Right click the Computer icon on the Desktop.
2. Select Manage.
3. Select Device Manager under Computer Management from the left pane.
4. Then expand the device such as "Sound, video and game controllers" from right pane.
5. Right click the Device listed.
6. Click Properties.
7. Go to the Details tab, and then select Device Instance Id from the drop down list.
8. Make a note of this Device Instance ID.
It is incorrect to state this problem is solved from Zohaibs answer..
In My opinion it is highly unlikely to be the driver as the internal speakers are working okay
it is much more likely to be the headphone jack itself is faulty
i am having the same problem. whenever I play some music the audio comes from the speakers but when I plug in the headphone , the sound still comes from the speaker rather than the headphone. I am having a toshiba L750 model and I have checked the drivers and the windows are updated too. whenever I plug in the headphone the device is not detected in the playback list. Kindly help me solve this issue.! I have even restored my windows and re-install the audio drivers but the problem still persist...!!!
I would really appreciate your help..!! Please..!!
This is a problem with my Toshiba as well. The problem in my case appears to be with the physical hardware of the jack. The circular hole in the computers hard surface, into which the headphone cord would be connected, used to be lined internally with a plastic circle which was visible from the outside. That interior ring has broken out. I believe it must have functioned to secure the headphone's plug. Any idea if this is fixable? It seems like the sort of small piece that would be hard to replace.
If that doesn't work go onto SmartAudio (i dont know if you have that but it was installed on my Toshiba satellite when I got it) Go to Jack Configuration and then go onto headphones it should work then
Thanks very much it really worked
