Speakers work sometimes and do not the other times

Post by deepakdeshp »

Hello,
I have tried booting with different kernels but there is no change in the problem. When I boot the system sometimes the speakers dont work. AT such times I find that in system settings 6 speakers are shown. Some other times when I boot, the speakers work, and the laptop shows 2 speakers as I do have with my laptop.
Is there anything that could be done to solve this?

Thanks all for any replies.

You have almost 3000 posts on this forum and you're giving up after 24 hours with no answer? You didn't say what type of speakers or what they're connected to either.

The problem is very strange and I couldn't think of any direction . They are internal speakers of my laptop
