hi all, i have an HP DV1600 Series laptop, i am having issues with the sound not comming out of the built in speakers, audio drivers are correct and updated, headphone jacks work fine, the only time i get audio out the speakers is for a split second when i unplug the headphones, and sometimes at random 1 or both work for a few minutes, i know the speakers work cause i get sound for a second, i know drivers are fine cause i get sound from jacks anytime i need, please help!

the headphone socket might be damaged, because speakers get muted when you insert headphones, so now your speakers beleive there are headphone plugged even they're not.

it's what I think

ya that looks like a posability, how would i go about confirming that? is there a sensor within the jack i can disable? or any other way to fix it?

but if that is the case, why do they work at random, even when i dont touch or play with jacks?

that's the thing, its risky if I was you i'd open the laptop apart and desolder the phone jack and see if the speakers work thatway.
there is no sensor or anything its just current cut, when the headphones are plugged the current stops from going towards speakers
