HP Pavilion dv6, a reboot of window 7, have all but no sound??

Got the lapy secondhand,  it had been mistreated,  some keys not working bah bah.. anyway windows was slow & stalling so I reasoned a reboot will help.. After a reboot had all but no sound,, it's there bit faint as.. have done all the normal expected stuff uninstall, let windows find the drivers, gone lonking myself ... but windows keeps telling me I have the right drivers & there is sound if you put a ear within 2" of the lapy... so what am I missing?? Input would be good .

Ok I have checked other post here & from replys from DavidPK in one I have kicked up what sound I had.. I have done all DavidPK has siad in the other post ... BUT umm still sound at 1/3 of what it should be?? So any other help would be better than none..Cheers

  • Hp pavilion dv6-6113cl entertainment pc windows 7 hard disk error 303 305

    Hi, my PC stopped working a few months ago. I have trying to find a way to fix it, but with no luck. A few weeks ago, I decided to buy the recovery disks from Hp. I did, and they came in the mail a few days ago. I use them, but all that pops up is a purplish screen(instead of what should be blue) with a cursor and that's about it. I did a hard disk test and it said hard disk quick 303 and full 305. Can someone help me please?

    Hi:
    Those errors indicate that you need to replace the hard drive, which is why the recovery disks won't work.
    You should purchase a hard drive of the same size or larger capacity than the one that came with your PC or the recovery disks won't work on a smaller capacity hard drive than what came with your PC.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 1334us won't start after windows update, stuck in Error Recovery

    My computer is an HP Pavilion dv6 1334us with 32bit-windows 7. The computer did automatic updates and when it started up said there was another one avaliable through WIndows Updater. I installed the update and it said the computer needed to restart for the update to take effect. I choose to restart and the computer wouldn't boot back up, it boots to the 'Windows Error Recovery' screen where my options are 'Launch Startup Repair (recommended)' and 'Start Windows Normally'. When I select the repair, it says it loads windows files, then goes back to the error recovery screen. When I choose to start normally, it freezes the second it trys to start, flashes a blue screen and then returns to the Error Recovery page again.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, uninstall Skype and when this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver Here.
    When the installation has finished, restart the notebook again.
    Let windows fully load, then download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Reinstall Skype and see if the Mic now works Ok.

  • Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Windows 7 beats audio problems

    Product name : Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx
    Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit
    I'm having a problem with some of the sliders in my beats audio options. The sliders in the graphic equalizer section work just fine, but the ones to the left of it - bass, treble, center, etc - have no effect on the sound no matter how I adjust them. Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.  This problem seemed to happen shortly after I needed to reset my pc back to factory settings. I've gone to the drivers section of the hp website and got the HD IDT audio driver for my model called "sp58131" and installed it but all it did was reset the sliders, the problem still persists. Is there anything else I can do?

    Hi Vivi,
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Notebook and Beats Audio. I would uninstall the driver from the device manager and any others that might be in the Audio. Then reinstall it from here.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 All 4 USB ports stopped working

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Pavilion dv6-6c11sa laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Everything was working fine for about a week, and then yesterday all of the USB ports stopped working. I have 4 USB ports in total, two 2.0 and two 3.0. No matter what peripheral device I plug in, mouse or flash drive etc, they're not recognized by the laptop. The lights don't even light up on the devices, regardless of the port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers in device manager, taking out the battery and rebooting, installing the chipset drivers (AMD), nothing works. No programs had been installed 3 days prior to the occurence, although I had rebooted several times in that time frame. I simply booted up the laptop yesterday, and nothing worked.
    Could anyone offer a solution or suggestion, please?

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6121TX- UIA write failed 3 times.

    Hi people...
    I have HP Pavilion dv6-6121TX laptop with Windows 7 operating system.
    Just a few days back I changed my HDD and then performed a System Recovery with the 3 discs given to me by HP.
    After doing the same, when rebooting the laptop is showing "UIA WRITE FAILED 3
    TIMES." with a log getting generated.
    I performed both the "Primary Hard Disk Self Test" and "Memory Test" but my laptop is not booting with the aforesaid error being shown.
    Would be extremely obliged for any help.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Its solution is quite simple.
    For solving this problem,you need a windows 7 or 8 dvd(or by a bootable pendrive with  win7,8).for complete restoration you have to follow the steps
    Step1:insert win7/8 dvd and restart your pc.Enter the boot menu and select cd/dvd option to boot from dvd(for bootable pendrive,select that option).
    Step2:After windows have loaded the windows files,click on install win7/8.
    Step3:select custom installation
    Step4:Now you will get a window with your harddisk partions.Click on Advanced option in the bottom of the table showing partition list.
    Step5: Delete all partions for obtaining a single drive.
    Step6:After deleting all drives,you will get a single drive showing your harddisk size.Click on that drive and then select 'new' from bottom options.
    Step7:Then windows will show a warnig.Click on 'YES'.And dont make any change to partion size and proceed.
    Step8:After doing this you will get a 100mb system reseved memory and rest of your harddisk size as a drive.Then close the installation window.Restart you pc with windows 7/8 recovery disk.And do the same procedure you done early.Then the installation will complete without any errors.And you can have the OS as per the installation media have..
    good luck..

  • SSD for Pavilion dv6

    Hello  ,
    i have Pavilion dv6-2174ca.
     with windows 7  64-bit
    recently , since 2 days i start get the message of Hard failling...error SMART 301 .
    my question , if i buy SDD to replce the HDD , will it be okay for my laptop?
    like if i got the Samsung 840 pro 256gb SSD
    i'm worry if my laptop will be older , and will the SSD will not work with it
    Thanks in advance for the help

    Be sure and buy the  SSD drive with the cloning kit. It will make life easier. Without the cloning software and cable, upgrading to an SSD is generally a command line procedure using the DiskPart command-line utility and not as easy for many people.
    Best regards,

  • HP Pavilion dv6 audio stops working upon inserting headphone

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC with Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 installed. Almost every time that I insert a headphone into either of the two headphone jacks the audio stops functioning and this issue continues even after I remove the headphone from the headphone jack. As a result when I want to play an audio on my laptop I get an error that there is a problem with the driver/sound device. I have the latest IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver installed, i.e. sp59542 ver. 6.10.6381.0. Occasionaly, disabling and enabling, or uninstalling and reinstalling the audio driver would resolve the issue but the problem would happen again upon connecting a headphone to my laptop. I have used two different headphones (differen brands) and the problem continues. From the searches I have done this seems to be a hardware issue and something related to the on/off switch in the headphone jack so I was wondering if HP is aware of this and whether any recall has been made. It looks like there are different symptoms associated with this hardware issue. Any help with fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi HP-User22,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6 and audio stops working when inserting headphone. Here is a link to update the BIOS.
    I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6b50sa notebook - Fan problems

    Product:     HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
    Operating system:    Windows 7 64bit
    BIOS version:   F.19   05-2012
    The fan on my laptop failed earlier during the year and was replaced with a new unit. However since then the fan seems not to run fast enough in response to increased loads on the cpu and GPU. For instance previously when starting a video game the fan would instantly kick up to a higher speed and remain there, cooling the laptop sufficiently. Now the fan will often take a lot longer to get up to speed, and with some games simply refuses to go beyond normal idling speeds even as the temperature increases.
    Any help with this?  I'm not sure if its a hardware or software issue. When I am back home again I will be replacing the fan with another new one to see. Tried updating the BIOS, have also installed HP coolsense and cleaned out the fan to no avail.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks
    Michal

  • [HELP] HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa fan - abnormal whirring and grinding noises even after replacemen​t

    Product:     HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa
    Operating system:    Windows 7 64bit
    BIOS version:   F.1 C  (current)   01-2013
    My laptop fan started making a very loud grinding and whirring noise constantly (very loud, easily heard in other rooms from the laptop) and after cleaning out with compressed air with no improvement I decided to get the fan replaced as it was clearly worn out in some way. (This laptop fan has always been loud, but never making this sort of grinding sound).
    Replacement fan was ordered directly from HP and installed. However, while the noise is much quieter, the fan is still making a constant sort of whirring/very low grinding noise which gets louder and changes pitch whenever the fan kicks up to a higher speed.  While the laptop is now at least useable, this noise is still annoying after being on for a long time and I did not expect it to still have the same problem after fully replacing the fan.
    Since then I have looked online for solutions and similar problems, having since flashed the BIOS to the latest version, checked both the hard drive and memory in the BIOS (both proved fine)  and tried switching between having the fan mode set to always on or not always on in the BIOS and messing around with HP coolsense. None of these have helped remove this constant whirring sound.
    Now this laptop fan has always been loud. That I am ok with, I know the sound of a loud, yet working fan drawing air, but this is not the same sound. The fan is still drawing air sufficiently and keeping the system temperature down to an acceptable level, but this constant whirring noise is annoying when having to work on the laptop. 
    [In Summary]
    -HP Pavilion DV6-6b50sa  Laptop fan had loud whirring/grinding noise
    -Fan was replaced
    -Noise reduced and grinding somewhat gone, but whirring and some grinding remains even with the new fan from HP
    Any help would be great, I have tried to include as much information regarding the problem as I can but if there is anything else needed dont hesitate to ask and I can try to provide such information as required.
    Michal.

    Also, when the fan is running at higher speeds the whirring/grinding noise is quieter and less noticable than when it is running at very low speeds... When running at very very high speeds (while playing games)  the fan sounds almost the same as my old one when it was still working, and at high speeds its more a whirring humm... Then at lower speeds it goes back to a more low whirring/grinding.
    Not sure if this helps but its just something I've noticed...  Any help with this problem?
