I cannot get any sound from my speakers unless I plug something (anything, even if it is itself inop) into the headphone port. I have updated to the latest audio drivers and BIOS on the hp website. I have restarted my computer numerous times. I have used the msn troubleshooting, with no problems detected as well as the Microsoft Mr Fix It program. When I check the volume mixer and get windows 7 64 bit or another application to make a sound, the mixer shows that a sound is being made. I just can't hear it unless something is plugged into either headphone port. Sometimes after I restart or load a driver, sounds will work normally a time or two, but then revert back to the malfunction. I know this laptop is old in laptop years, is this a hardware malfunction and I'm just going to have to suck it up? I've all ready wasted a lot of my time troubleshooting the problem and if there is no fix, I'd like to know so I can move on. Thanks.
