I just noticed that my speakers no longer work and have no clue how long my laptop has been like this. Headphones DO work and I've tried tinkering with a lot of settings but I can't get my speakers to play any audio. I am running Windows Media Center Edition on a Vaio PCG-k45. Thanks~

unplug your head phones and see if speakers work

make sure master volume is at max and nothing is muted

one more thing make sure speakers are properly connected plugins a wires connectors are color coded be sure they match

try this
go to start>Programs>Accessaries>Entertainment>Volume Control
make sure none is checked mute on bottom
also go to properties on play control and check everyone(that way the show while doing first step I said)
sometimes a box gets checked as mute.

lmk,

Paco
