Please.

The sound on my laptop has packed up. This includes Bluetooth added devices not working.

I have tried updating drivers and uninstalling/reinstalling.

They don't tend to have separate cards do they? It's going to be a motherboard thing isn't it.

Any advice gratefully received.


Edit: no I haven't pressed the mute button.

Does that include external hard-wired speakers or headphones not working too?

If you drop the laptop from a reasonable height, does it still make a noise when it lands?*

I was wondering that last night but didn't have anything at hand to try.

At your prompting I've dug through and retrieved an old headset from the boot of the car that I've been intending to take to the tip.

I can announce that those are working!

That's a good thing, right?

Edit: via jack plug.

Sorry, what?

If a laptop is dropped in a desert with no one around to hear it, will it still make a sound?

I can hear the TV just fine thank you.

That proves the underlying sound processing is working so that’s good. But a bit strange neither laptop speaker or Bluetooth audio are. I’d say that tends to suggest a driver problem but you’ve tried that .

I reckon I've tried the driver routine a dozen times now.

Bizarrely, the diagnostic has thrown up a 'generic driver issue' a couple of times yet not each time.

Although 'generic' isn't really helpful.

Still, thanks for the push to making me at least try the jack connection. That's some kind of reassurance maybe.

Well, the tories have broken pretty well everything in the UK, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if they've broken Jeera's ears.

To the point of almost wearing the right-sided button out.

The results keep varying between telling me there's no problem to there being some generic problem.

In between it keeps asking me to rate the test sounds it offers me.

Of course I can't hear the test sounds it keeps trying to produce because the thing isn't working.

Apparently swearing doesn't make any difference either.

My laptop is a moron.

I have a friend in India who can help sort out laptop problems at a very reasonable rate, although he will require bank details up front, next time he phones me I can pass your details on if that helps?

Bump.

In case someone smart sees it.

Edit: just to add.

Bizarrely I've discovered that headphones work, one Bluetooth and the other via jack.

Yet another Bluetooth device isn't playing anything.

Have you checked the capacitor on the flux?

Might need to go back to a previous version until a future update is available?

So ermmm, why not just use the headphones.

Or get a a Bluetooth speaker.

Or open up the laptop, see if anything near the speaker looks like it should be connected in a way that it currently isn’t, and then solder those parts together.

If that doesn’t work just look for more things to solder together. I am fairly sure you can un-solder things.......yea must be able to do that.

Does that help?

Hello Newkes.

'Tis a Lenovo V110.


It seems that there are various problems with these.

First try using the Volume up button on the keyboard. It seems to work independently of the system tray icon.

Secondly the sensor in the headphone jack may think there is a jack plugged in. Try blowing it or give it a scrape with a toothpick.

Lastly you may need to change the driver type being used as it seems that these get confused and there is an alternative driver that can be tried.
