IDT (Beats) software installation fails during configuration phase

System: HP Pavilion dv7-6b70ed
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
I lost access to the Beats Audio Control Panel for reasons unknown and decided to reinstall the software. The installation seems to go fine, until I got the configuration screen one gets after restarting the system. The installation terminated with an "unknown error", after clicking the finish button.
It appears to be a problem, because my laptop sounds like having a severe cold. Anybody an idea?
thanks .... H

Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.

Do I have to use IDT audio? I want to use Nvidia audio. No more IDT!

Pavilion DV7 3300, Windows 7 64-bit
I do not want to use IDT Audio anymore, I downloaded the new Nvidia driver and it comes with HD Audio. Can I disable or uninstall IDT and use Nvidia audio? If not, what about Realtek Audio over IDT?!!! Thanks in advance!

It isn't a matter of simply choosing which software/driver you want to use.The hardware in a machine determines what driver will work. For instance, to use a Realtek driver you must have a Realtek audio chip on your machine's motherboard.

Hello, i am desperately trying to get logic to awknoledge my guitar. I am using a scarlet audio interface and have all the software ( i think) and logic is recognising the audio interface but no guitar is coming through.

I am using the scarlett 2i2 and i have my guitar plugged into that which is plugged into my mac book pro via usb. Logic is recognizing my 2i2 (i believe i have all the software downloaded, although i didnt use the disc provided i downloaded it from the internet) and my mac book is recognizing that the guitar is playing. if i go into preferences, then go to sound, input, i can see that it knows the guitar is plugged in. how come i cant get logic to read my guitar?

Kieron,
Look at page 33 of the LPX user guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1648/en_US/logic_pro_x_user_guide.p df
It explains in easy steps how to fix your problem. You'll find it way more beneficial learning while you are doing than just have someone tell you.

No sound, probably due to IDT Audio Codec

There i s no sound at my laptop. The loudspeakers are on, Windows says they are working fine. All the volumes are high, sound is not muted etc. But I have no sound anywhere. I uninstalled the drivers on IDT Audio Codec, reset the values in my bios to their original ones (if they even weren't to start with). I have been running the audioplayback diagnosis from windows. Moved back to old version of my registry but nothing seems to work.
I went through this forum and did what some of the people adviced but still it is not functioning. Although windows says that IDT Audio Codec is working fine, I get an errormessage Not able to play test tone (or that is the translation from Dutch). Also Windows Media player doesn't work and lands me on the page with error C00D11B1. Also playing a DVD doesn't work. And when trying to update the IDT Audio Codec driver, it says it is up-to-date. Also put all the sound settings (like sound quality to standard settings).
I think that I removed the driver when cleaning up with CCleaner so that is probably the reason. Also after checking with this forum I launched two driverpackages SP59291 and SP6355 but unfortunately that they didn't work and they probably not the right version for my setup. Alhtough the letter of the two did bring back windows system signals during start-up etc. The current version of the driver is 6.10.6329.0. I checked the HP-website to find the specific version for my laptop but couldn't find it, anyone any idea what I could do? Many thanks!

Elitebook 2540p Motherboard changed. Integrated motherboard IDT audio device missing in windows 7.

Hi,
Old situation:
(I recently changed motherboard for my computer Elitebook 2540p. When i installed windows 7 to my computer the computer doesn't list any audio devices in device manager page. I've checked bios for any faulty settings and they are all set right. Theres no yellow marks in device list either and all drivers seems to be installed.)
New situation:
Installed windows 7 again and computer found / installed audio devices normally. I tested computer for hours to play audio from it and everything worked fine. I restarted computer several times / re installed battery to the computer. On one restart the computers audio quick mute button below the screen appeared to be orange and the sound speaker icon in windows was marked as X. I check device list again from device manager and there was no audio devices listed (No sound devices at all). After that i restarted computer and before the computer started downloadin windows i pressed the mute button and it turned blue. I then went to windows and sound devices / sound was working again.
Old situation:
I have motherboard integrated IDT audio device.
When i try to install audio drivers from hp site for 2540p i get "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update." And the device manager doesnt list any IDT audio devices.
I then installed xp and the computer found IDT audio device normally and the sounds are working correct.
New situation:
After i did new windows 7 install and all my audio drivers installed / devices showed in device list / audio worked i downloaded audio drivers from HP driver site and installed them to the computer.
Audio problems has not been occured again after my HP screen mute button turned to orange / Windows sound speaker was marked as X / Computer didn´t find any audio devices.
Currently waiting if the problem occurs again and trying to think what would cause this ( Hardware problem or software)? And how to fix it permanently.
Any help for this problem?
BIOS is updated to newest version from HP driver download center.
All windows drivers are installed.

Problem with the IDT audio driver.

Hi
i got a problem with my audio driver yesterday. while watching a video the driver stopped working and it says that "no audio output installed". i tried reinstalling the idt software from hp website. but it is no help, in the middle of the installation process the computer is showing an error saying that the idt software is not compatible with the hardware detected.
I need my audio drivers as soon as possible as i have a presentation to do. Please help asap.!!

Hi
First uninstall the software from program and features.
Or, you can uninstall IDT Audio Driver from your computer by using the Add/Remove Program feature in the Window's Control Panel.
On the Start menu (for Windows 8, right-click the screen's bottom-left corner), click Control Panel, and then, under Programs, do one of the following:
Windows Vista/7/8: Click Uninstall a Program.
Windows XP: Click Add or Remove Programs.
When you find the program IDT Audio Driver, click it, and then do one of the following:
Windows Vista/7/8: Click Uninstall.
Windows XP: Click the Remove or Change/Remove tab (to the right of the program).
Follow the prompts. A progress bar shows you how long it will take to remove IDT Audio Driver.
Please try to install this software and see if this fixes your issue. In case this does not work try performing system restore to the date where unit was working fine.

Audio Issues When IDT Audio is Installed. Alternative?

I have an HP Elitebook 8440w Mobile Workstation running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and I've been having issues with the sound. Since it came with the IDT Audio program installed to begin with and is the program for the audio drivers, I never realized that it was (seemingly) causing the problem. I'm still not completely sure that that program is the real problem.
I went for a long time without speakers because that was the only problem I was having with the laptop and I couldn't go without the computer for the week it would have required to get it worked on through the IT department of my university. Finally, since it's summer and I have finished my degree, I took it in to see if they could figure out what was wrong. I had done everything I could think of, reinstalling drivers, etc. Nothing helped.
They didn't figure anything out at all. Instead they told me my Operating System was corrupted or some such BS and reinstalled Windows 7 Professional without even telling me first. This wiped all of my programs and caused several new problems. On top of this, they didn't reinstall any of the standard HP programs, diagnostic or otherwise. It's a really good thing I am not a complete computer novice or I would have been so lost. I have now spent several hours correcting my lack of software and am almost back to where I started.
This reinstallation of programs is what caused me to realize that it was this program causing the issues, or at least causing them to show up. I uninstalled it and now I can't use headphones, but at least the speakers are working. When the program was installed, it showed that the headphone jack was in use even when it wasn't, so I suspect that the real problem is that a switch in the port is messed up. However, I can't get it fixed anytime soon and I definitely won't be taking it back to the IT department. Some other idiot might also throw (my newly reinstalled) baby out with the bathwater.
Anyways, I was hoping someone might be able to recommend a different program/audio driver that I can manually switch from speakers to headphones with. Also, if you have any more insight into this problem, I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

8.1 Pro install now have no audio and video play

I have an older G60-443cl and changed out the HDD for a SDD. Installed a new version of Windows 8.1 Pro. Everything works but my audio and video. The audio drivers are installed and working properly (according to my system) but even on the speaker icon where you adjust the volume there is no sound not even the little beep when you change the volume. I went to my adminastrative tools and checked and the following is what i guess i should have:
Open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Startup Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
I have all of the item but the top one Audio Service???? Help!!!!! Please!

Hi @L1215 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!

For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that after changing the drive to a SSD and installing Windows 8.1 Pro you lost your audio. Drivers are showing as installed and working properly but you have not audio.
When I checked the driver page for your notebook I noticed that Windows 8.1 is not a supported Operating System. With this being said HP does not provide the drivers as it is an untested OS on your system. OEM's may and sometimes do alter drivers to perform correctly with your system.

You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.
