Odd thing

My laptop HP Pavilion dv9000 has lost the speaker output but the headphones work ok, It's still under warranty but back in the UK and I'm in Spain.
I don't want to open it because of that. Everything seem to be as it should, very odd..

Try the old standby, uninstall the sound in the Device Manager, restart the computer and Windows should find new hardware and reinstall the sound.

This fixes a lot of varied problems, may fix yours.

To access the device manager, hold the Windows key down and then press the Pause/Break key.

I ixed it with a restart, I could not do it before i finished encoding a DVD for Jim Eller.
thanks for reply. still a odd thing. I'v been around computers for years and know about most faults but never had this one, my guess is the a virus program deleted something in the reg.. thanks again
