audio trouble, help

by arandompenguin . Updated 14 years ago

right so ive been working on a computer through remote management and cant seem to find a solution (only been a few hours so i havent tried everything).
here it is, Im working on an asus pro7bs and when the headphones are plugged in realtek takes over and it plays well but as soon as the headphones are unplugged there is no sound through the speakers.
I have checked and the volume is around 60% and it definitely isnt muted. the audio service is running and under hardware and sounds its got the right device selected and it shows the volume bar as active (the bar is lit up with green in a wave notion, how do you even describe that lol)
anyway, ive tried looking though realtek thinking that it might have taken over the sound management and isnt letting the laptop speakers through but i didnt have enough time to finish off that approach.

so bottom line, as far as i can tell everything is set correctly but there isnt any sound through the laptop internal speakers. its only a few weeks old and was working fine until a day or so ago (my first guess was that the client has hit the function key (fn) along with another button to disable the sound but then it would tell me that it was disabled)

any ideas on what i might be missing? (havent checked the driver but its very unlikely that he went and deleted or disabled the driver…will check though)
