Never used microphone input before, sound recorder window okay, no sound output.

Sound from sound recorder input goes nowhere, a sound window is supposed to open, it does not.
There is some software missing in my pavilion g7 laptop. Media player sound is fine, internet sound
is fine, only sound missing is from the microphone input. The sound recorder window is open and the
recording bar is moving as the input varies, how do I get the sound to the speakers. Never used this
option before, it might be defective from the factory.
This question was solved.

Problem solved. You cannot turn on computer with the microphone or other audio cable plugged in.
Otherwise the computer does not respond to the inputs, you have to plug in the microphone or audio
cable after logging in and then a window will open that allows you to select the that input over the default.

I never used this program before. I tapped on the "budget form" and decided I'd rather use the "expense form". I can't figure out how to get to the page that you choose which form you want

've never used a Mac before, recently i purchased a MBP13" which came loaded with LION OS by default. I upgraded the OS to OS10.7.2 when prompted. Now after the upgrade, my MBP feels very slow - specially when typing emails !! What is the solution ??

After an update or installation, your MBP may take some time to index its files. Give it some time - but if you don't see any improvement, post here - you'll get an answer!

Had a problem with newest update and the advice from turingtest2 resolved my problem just to say thanks! Had never used this route before so was less painful than thought it would be again thanks.

Choppy sound in Windows 7 on Sound Blaster Audigy SE

Hey all,
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and I love it with the exception of my sound card. Ever since I upgraded, all my sounds are super choppy (like every 5 seconds it chops). Of course I installed the new creative windows 7 drivers but it didn't fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this or other possible solutions to try?
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Choppy sound in Windows 7 on Sound Blaster Audigy SEk What I meant was when you uninstall your graphics driver and use standart VGA drivers then the sound turns to normal without any crackling/popping. But of course you wouldnt want to do that or else you wouldnt have graphics accerelation. (You can't play video games and even watch any kind of video)
For instance you freshly setup windows, dont install any nvidia/ati drivers, just with the big screen, install the creative drivers u wont have any problem with your sound.
That's why I said that there's a kind of confliction between graphics interface and creative drivers. Because when u install any kind of display driver, crackling sound starts again.
There's no solution for this except updated SB drivers. And that's why people get mad to creative on this forum. (Not only on this forum of course, it's a worldwide madness)

I never used LabView but need to generate a RS-233 serial output string that contains an IRIG timestamp based on a contact closure. Is LabView an appropriate tool to do this? How much does it cost to get started with the product?

Labview isn't cheap, but it would certainly allow you to build a program (set of vi's - virtual instruments) that would do what you describe. Where would the timecode information come from? Your vi, or program, would: Start up, initialize the serial port, loop until a trigger happened, read the timecode (from where?), output that timecode out the serial port in a loop until you pressed the stop button. There is a free evaluation of Labview software available from NI - the base product itself runs about $995.

My G7-2010nr sound is fine, but microphone input does not record

I need the microphone for Skype calls. Very much appreciate your help.
John

Hey John,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
As your microphone is not working with Skype, you should first follow through the steps in the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). This will make sure that the hardware is working properly.
If the hardware is working, and you are able to use the mic in a different program, the issue is most likely with Skype. I have also included a link to How do I adjust the sound settings on my computer and in Skype for Windows 7?.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting steps.
Best of Luck!

I've never used a mac before

i've never had a mac before so i'm only familiar with windows. i'm getting a laptop for college and i'm considering buying a mac. a couple of my friends have them and they only say good thigns about them. however my dad is really hesitant on me buying a mac because he's afraid i'll need a program that's not compatible with the software. also he's worried that my plug-ins like printer/digital camera won't work. and he didn't know if they ran all types of cd and dvds that are on the market. overall he's just a worry-wart but maybe if there's good answers to all these questions i'll be able to reassure him. so for everyone who has used a mac what do you think?

A MacBook Pro can run both OS X and Windows using Boot Camp
however my dad is really hesitant on me buying a mac
because he's afraid i'll need a program that's not
compatible with the software.
There are usually a Mac alternatives for most software.
As the MacBook Pro can run Windows if push came to shove you could use Boot Camp to install Windows and run the needed Windows software that way.
also he's worried that
my plug-ins like printer/digital camera won't work.
Generally cameras and printers work fine with the Mac. Check the printer and camera manufacturers' website for Mac drivers.
and he didn't know if they ran all types of cd and
dvds that are on the market.
A Mac can run virtually all CDs and DVDs that any generic PC can.
If a PC has written a proprietary format CD (ie a packet CD) then only it and Macs (and other PCs for that matter) won't be able to read it.
overall he's just a
worry-wart but maybe if there's good answers to all
these questions i'll be able to reassure him. so for
everyone who has used a mac what do you
think?
There are lots of benefits to running a Mac.

SD card is suddenly read only (and it never used to be before).

I'm not tech-svvy at all, so I'll try to be as detailed as I can with my problem and hopefully some patient soul will be able to give me some step by step instructions on how to fix this haha.
I've had my MacBook Pro for about a year now and I haven't had a problem with transfering photos from my phone and camera onto it. My camera has an SD card and my phone has a Micro SD.
As of a few days ago, I've noticed that when I insert my SD card into the slot, there's an icon to the top left side of the window when I open it that never used to be there. It kind of looks like a pencil with a line going through it, but it still let me transfer photos to my computer, so I didn't think anything of it.
When I tried to transfer photos from my phone's Micro SD, it does the same thing. I can still transfer pictures to the computer without a problem.
The issue becomes when I want to transfer photos from my computer to the card for my camera or the one for my phone. I've tried to look through similar questions on here and elsewhere on the internet, but all I've been able to gather is that the little pencil with a line through it means my cards are in "Read Only" mode as opposed to the "Read and Write" that they should be in.
I don't recall making any changes to any sort of settings on this computer and I haven't had any recent updates to the software.
Also, none of the cards are locked. I know there's a little swtich to the side of them that manually makes them read only, but I never touch them and they're always 'unlocked' as it were.
Can anyone guide me through getting these settings back to the way they were?
(Since I'm technologically illiterate, I have no idea what operating system I'm on, so I apologize if this is an important factor in helping me.)

The contact inside the SD card slot could be dirty. you can try to clean them by shutting the system down, get some electrical contact cleaner and put a small amount on the SD card contacts and push it in and out a few times. Let it dry for a few minutes (most of these type contact cleaners alcohol based and dry fairly fast) and power up the system. See if the cards are now Read+Write.
Also check the cards to see if the little switch hasn't been pushed into the Lock setting.
Even though these card may work in your camera and or phone they may be at the end of there life cycle. Try a NEW card and see if that makes a difference.
As a last resort you can always buy a external card reader and connect it to a USB port.Some SD cards come with a small SD card reader that plugs directly into a USB port. The only problem I've had with them is that some of them do not go in all the way on MBPs. The case of the MBP stops them from inserting all the way and or if you have something else plugged in to the other USB port there isn't enough room, right to left, to insert another device. Or you could spend some more money and have Apple Care fix it, that is if none of the above work.
Good Luck.

Gnome sound recorder killed my working sound setup

Cut a long story short, I've had skype working with my mic for a week. Decided I'd record something, opened up gnome sound recorder, after recording 2 tracks successfully all of a sudden it stopped working, now my mic will not work in any application, I have fiddled with all my alsamixer settings and I can't get it to work again. Very very frustrated, I was making a lot of skype calls as my phone line just got disconnected by a storm and now I can't. i can't figure it out, does gnome sound recorder change some alsa setting??? My 5.1 surround stopped working as well, but that may be from me desperately trying alsamixer settings. I have a SB live 5.1. I tried the mic in another computer and it works.
Any help really appreciated.
Cheers

If the device is there, it could still be a mixer setting some setting of the program you are trying to use.
What programs are you trying to get your mic working with? If it just doesn't work with Skype or the sound recorder it might be that the program is listening on the wrong channel. The gnome sound recorder for example can listen on the wave-channel, the cd-channel, the microphone, etc. etc., while programs like TS2 can listen on what they call different devices. Had some trouble with TS because of that at first because with the standard setting, my wave- and microphone-record-channel were linked - with the third of a total of three settings it worked just the way it should.
If it's a mixer setting you can't resolve with the gnome volume manager maybe try gamixer. It's the best mixing program I know. Can't find the homepage, but here's a working link with reference to dependencies.http://www.t2-project.org/packages/gamix.html

When you use bootcamp you should use the bootcamp drivers not what windows suggest or what you can find on the chip makers site
Bootcamp drivers can be made from osx bootcamp program or download the driver zip from apples site

I need help please. I cannot get into my mac after I downloaded Lion. i never used a PW before . can anyone help me please?

Hi Folks. I cannot get into my Mac book air after downloading Lion. I do not and have never needed to use a pass word. what can I do to get back in ?

Did you purchased the Full Perpetual License from Adobe for $149.00?, if so then what has happened is that you probably downloaded the Creative Cloud trial version which has now expired.
The license key for the perpetual version will not be accepted to activate the CC version.
Uninstall the existing Lightroom and then download the one available from the link below. The uninstall process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files but will just remove the application. Install the new download and you license key will be accepted.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
If this is not the situation you face then provide some more details.

Hello,
Yes she can. Your US Skype Number travels with you anywhere. Your location is irrelevant as long as your computer or device has a high speed internet connection.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.
