Do headphones work when plugged in?  Check your volume controls.  Check the levels and make sure nothing is muted.  Check your device manager.  If all else fails, reinstall the audio driver from Toshiba.

I read it all and I just suggest getting a new sound card, and using it until it quits working if the computer does what you want it to.

This problem is caused by a bad memory stick. Sometimes it can be corrected by just removing and reseating them. If this fails then assuming your computer has 2 sticks, remove one and reboot. If this works you probably have the answer. If you still get te beep, trade and try the 2nd stick.

First, do you mean that it's beeping over and over or is it giving you a constant tone?  If it's a constant tone, see the last response about the power supply.  If it's beeping over and over, read on.\n\nIs this beep happening during POST or after the OS has loaded (or both).  If it's happening while BIOS is loading, it is most likely not related to your OS.  Replacing your CMOS battery may resolve the problem, but will be most effective if you unplug your system and then change the battery, as this will reset CMOS.  After doing this, you may need to change some BIOS settings.\n\nHow old is your system?  If it is fairly new, and from a known manufacture (HP, Dell...), there may be a FlashBIOS update for your system.  \n\nAre you getting any warning messages during POST?  The beeps are often due to simple keyboard or mouse errors.  You could try switching out your input devices, to see if your BIOS does not like them.  You might edit BIOS to disable the quick POST.  This will allow you to see exactly what is happening during your boot, and may show you some error. \n\nYou say the sound continues after you remove the speaker?  From where is the sound coming after the speaker is removed?  Perhaps your system requires exorcism.

If the sound card doesn't have it's drivers correctly installed, you won't see the volume control in the task bar. Is your sound card functioning at all? Also depending on your laptop it might have some kind of third party volume control program installed.

Check if your speakers are plugged in properly. If that is the case, your sound card might not be working. Sometimes, I have to re-install my driver for it.

make sure the sound card has not been diabled\ncheck to see if the correct driver is installed\nis the volume turne up not only on the system tray but on the laptop itself.\n\nyou may have a button marked Fn this is a function button it is used to access other functions on the keys with more than one item. look for a key with a picture of a speaker on these can be found in one of two places the 1st on the F keys(F8/F9) or on the arrow keys.

make sure they are connected, try the volume, restart your computer, if worse comes to worse you are going to have to uninstall and reinstall them

I checked the HP Support Website, but couldn't find any information about the sound card for your laptop. As far as I understand it (I'm more of a software person than a hardware one) the sound is probably onboard, like some graphics cards.\nIt seems like you really want to know how to get sound out of the laptop. First, check to make sure that the sound isn't muted. In the system tray (down by the clock) there should be a little speaker icon. Double click that icon and make sure that master volume and wave sound categories are not muted (there's a check box below the slider). Then make sure that the sliders are about halfway up.\nIf you still don't get sound go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?dlc=en&lc=en&product=83862&dest_page=product&cc=us&os=228 and download the driver updates for your laptop.\nGood luck trying to get it to work.

If you have tried all the above and still cant get it done, try getting new speakers that can be attached to the laptop. But if your sound card doesnt amplify well enough, this output wont be great either. In this case, you might want to upgrade your sound card. A cost effective option would be to get a USB Sound Card, which is fully plug-n'-Play.

I would just suggest to hook up speakers to your system, it's probably something with the setting of your laptop.  You might have an input plugged into the wrong area or something along those lines.  I would suggest to undo everything and make sure that the sound is still working on your laptop.  If it is then try connecting the monitor again and play with some of your audio settings.  I would try external speakers.  Just some suggestions. Best Wishes ;-)

your sound cards drivers are old. speakers are old.. one of these two. update your sound drivers most likely.

Your computer is broken and it is a miracle you can get it to work at all.  The beep codes are trying to tell you something.  I suggest yiou take it to a repair shop.

Your laptop should have come with a CD of drivers--if so, just re-install. \nIf not, check your documentation for the exact type of sound card you have and then you can download it from the below link.

Check if they are jack in fully and correctly.\n\nIf so, check if your sound card is okie (if yours is a seperate sound card that is)\n\nIf all else fails, replace your speakers.

I have an HP at my job that was having some trouble and it was hard for even the IT people to get info/parts on it. It was a modified ASUS board made for HP apparently. The beeps usually are Video errors or RAM errors. If you switch RAM and still have a problem the motherboard is probably toast. This model sounds pretty old, time to upgrade anyways.
