Everybody keeps telling me the same solutions but ,first of all, I am fairly tech savvy and knew to try most of their suggestions in the first place and also knew that they did not help. I don’t know exact model of laptop because my teenage son decided to peel the stickers off of the back, so all I know is Toshiba Satellite. I went through Microsoft tools and forums, Toshiba, Realtek, Conexant, and so on. I recently installed a different OS, so no restore points beyond start of problem and no option for total recovery. I tried activating service, I tried command prompt, resetting defaults in bios.

I got so excited until I noticed that my newly installed audio device was already set at 67% volume and to my despair, I can see things playing, and this device working properly, enabled, etc ,etc. Well, suddenly my speaker icon returned instead of headphones. Eventually, I decided to uninstall HD Audio device and download Realtek audio device. I used every troubleshooting tool I could find. It was enabled and of course Windows can’t find a better driver. I noticed that when I rest on sound icon it says headphones instead of speakers and it keeps defaulting back to 67% volume. In Device Mgr it was simply listed as High Def audio device- no yellow marks, etc. When I try to play music, everything seems to be working just fine, except no sound coming from internal speakers or headphones. I am sooooo tired of trying the same thing over and over in order to get sound on my Toshiba Satellite laptop.
