Your laptop speakers, unlike most desktop speaker sets, are integrated into the laptop case. This makes it very difficult to diagnose a problem of busted laptop speakers. Fortunately, there are some ways to diagnose your issue and resolve them. However, if the speakers having a faulty connection, it may be easiest to call a professional to do the work, rather than personally disassembling your laptop (especially if you are uncomfortable with it). If you still want to learn how to fix a laptop speaker, then read on below.
Sound Drivers
Outdated sound drivers may also be a potential source of the speaker problems. You should first open up the Device Manager in your system (you can simply search in the start button “Device manager”), then open the Sound tab and choose the speaker device. Right-click on that device and then click on the Driver tab. Then click “Update Driver,” which should do the rest of the process automatically.
Sound Card Issues
The easiest thing to do first is to check that your speakers are not malfunctioning due to a faulty connection. Simply plug some headphones into the headphone jack. If you hear sound, then there may be a faulty connection to your speakers. Verify that the sound isn’t muted and the slider is all the way up. If there continues to be no sound, you may also want to do a system restore to the point that you originally had working speakers to make sure that a software configuration did not cause the problem.
If you think there may be a faulty connection to your speakers, it’s highly recommended that you contact a computer repair professional to help fix your speakers, as disassembling and working with laptop internal parts is quite hard.
