Re: Sound will not play unless charging

Hi WDE2015,

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on yourHP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx  Notebook and sound issues. Here is a link to help with your sound.

 I would try to uninstall the driver and restart the computer, then install the driver.

You could try this fix.

1. Right click speaker icon (right hand corner)
2. Select Playback devices
3. Right click Speakers
4. Enable it and set as Default
5. Click Apply/Ok

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
