So I got another interesting one to get some opinions on as google is failing me.
I have a laptop here and it will not play audio through the built in speakers. normally not to hard to diagnose right? Well normally that would be true but I discovered that the Audio will play through the built in speakers IF you play a test tone through an alternate sound device. This sound device is labeled as a head set.
So far my only real idea I have gotten is that the headphone jack is messed up and thinks there is still something in it causing it to mute the speakers though when I plug in headphones there is no audio.
This is a windows 7 laptop and I have reinstalled drivers and updated them as well and checked all of the settings that windows allows to make sure that the built in speakers are in fact set as the default audio device.
Thanks for any ideas you might have.
