Hello hammoud_x. You say front speakers don't work, but then you mention the headphones. Is your problem with a multi speaker setup, and the fronts don't have audio? Or the front headphone jack doesn't work? Or both? Try this:

Start> In search box type: Sound

Click on Sound in results above> Click on Speakers, and click on configure> Choose the correct Audio Channels> Click on any speakers in picture to test it.

That's a start until we know exactly which of the scenerios I mentioned are correct

Thanks for your help
I mean that , in windows Xp the front sound input works fine for both speakers and headphone but in win 7 front input does not work at all , just the one in the backside.

Hi hammoud_x i took a quick look at the HP Website from what i saw there are drivers for XP and Vista, windows 7 wasn't listed, but have a look yourself and see if there is an update available.
Check device manager or Search > Sound/recording with the mic plugged in to see if it is been picked up.

Strange the rear works and the front doesn't, uninstall the drivers and let windows detect the hardware and update the drivers it's possible it was a glitch, What does it say in device manager ?

thanks a lot to all who posted here, I got the solution .First i depended that windows 7 has the sound driver automatically but i found that i must install that driver from Realteck and it works

Thanks again

Good to hear that you found the driver problem hammoud_x and as always we appreciate the feed back that could help out others..Device manager should be first port of call
