Problems with sound

after some time sound card just stops working and I have to restart computer to have it working again
aby idea

G'day
I had the same problem, tho infrequently. (Other teething problems were a real pain...)
I am running a Duron 1.2 on an MS-6378 board.
Rarely, the sound just disappears by itself - all indications in software are that it's still playing (winamp visualisations, etc) but everything goes dead quiet, as if you had hit the master mute. (I have my VCR through the Line In socket, and that too goes mute.)
Last time it happened was when I inserted the MSI CD-ROM - as setup started; sound disappeared.
Checked Event Viewer (XP) and saw the error:
Quote
The GMSIPCI service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the path specified.
 - which appeared at pretty much the same time I doubleclicked the CD-ROM drive. (May or may not be related.)
Google doesn't know what GMSIPCI is, nor do I
Not wanting to drop my internet connection, I found you can get sound back without turning the PC off, by going Control Panel -> Sound -> Hardware Tab -> Click on the VIA AC'97 hoohaa -> Properties -> Device Usage...
Set it to "do not use" then when it recovers, set it to "Use this device"
Perhaps this will help another poster who has not been able to get sound at all?
Cheers, Mike.

  • HT1657 I am having problems with sound in my rental movies

    We rent movies all the time but lately we are having problems with sound for our movie rentals.  We watch the first half hour without a problem than the voice is choppy all the time.  Sometimes it is good for five minutes than noting for a while.  We  have tried everything we could think of with no avail.  I could see one movie but the last 5 or so have been the same.  Done trying we need to fix this!  Help!  Any ideas?

    First try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
    If you still have the same issue, it's possible that something is lodged in the earphone jack. This can cause the iPad to think earphones are plugged in when they are not. Use a vacuum to try to suck any dust, lint or other foreign matter from the jack. If that still doesn't work, try CAREULLY using a toothpick.

    Try A and B
    (A) Restart iPad
    1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
    3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • [SOLVED]Problem with sound in HDMI

    Hello good society of Arch
    Now I have problems with sound from HDMI. I use Arch as an tvPc, wasting movies and tv shows on it. I use ALSA and it works well, except of a few files that I have, then there is picture but sound is either twisted or not played at all. It does not matter whether I use vlc or mplayer, I'm experiencing the same problem.
    I have not found anything about this with google, other problems have been either hdmi sound working or not, not like it is with me, sometimes it works and sometimes it don't.
    I know that the files are ok, I can play them in anther pc I have (also using Arch on that pc).
    Does anybody know what the problem might be? What do I have to look at to find out what the problem is? This have been like this for some time now, but I haven't looked into it before, because I don't use TV that muts, but the wife does and when she stats blaming Arch, I have too do something about it.
    I have never encountered problem with Arch that i cant solve by using this forum and google
    Thanks

    I will look at this when i come home from work, thanks.

  • Problem with sound in games requiring quicktime

    I recently purchased CSI 1. I installed the game and the latest version of quicktime player. As soon as the game starts and the first character starts talking the game pauses as if loading and then plays for a second and pauses again for a few seconds. This intermittent sound problem makes it impossible to play the game as the freezing stops everything from functioning. I tried another game that requires quicktime to be installed and that game is pausing the same. Has anyone else had this problem? I have all the latest drivers installed for Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Do you get any problems with sound in other (older) games? You didn't mention which drivers in particular you updated, but make sure the graphics card's ones are included.

  • Problem with sound in games

    Hi all welcome as you can see I'm new to your forum. So I have a problem as it concerns the sound in games.
    Namely, I bought a Creative Headset HS-800 Fatality everything good in listening to music, etc.
    But when I go to the game, I turned the sound (someone shoots to the left I hear him right, and vice versa.)
    Yes, in all games but mostly it is felt such a battlefiel or call of duty.
    At first I thought that this is the fault of my sound card but it's not because I was in a mate and in him was the same ... This recently replaced the computer and the same thing.
    I came across the net to reverse the channels, but unfortunately I do not know how to set it up.
    Here, the data on my computer:
    Sound Card Speakers (Realtek High Definitie
    Sound Card Realtek Digital Output (Realtek
    Sound Card Realtek Digital Output (RCA) (Re
    Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit
    I would add that in tests Realtek win7 and everything is fine.
    Regards and please help as soon as possible.

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • Problem with sound after update

    Hello
    After update to 11.3 I have no bass sound in subwoofer in Firefox browser (youtube). I uninstall the newest version and install previous (11.2) and bass plays ok.
    My os: Windows 7 x64. Sound card Creative X-fi.

    Hello!
    My problem is summed up in this topic.
    Updated Flash Player with 11.3 this morning (june 12th 2012) and since then my 7.1 Sound System works only 2.1. If i enable EAX Effects, works on 7.1 but since it`s just a room it sounds very odd.
    I have no problem with sound on HTML 5 websites for that matter, Winamp, Video Players, games.
    Uninstalled Flash Player, sounds work ok without it on different browsers, other than Chrome (since it has FP built in).
    I hope for a sollution soon.
    Thank you.
    *edit*
    Untill there is a permanent solution, i found a way to deal with my issue and i hope it will help others.
    I personally use Chrome and this is for this browser:
    1. Type "about:plugins" w/o the quotation in the navigation bar.
    2. On the upper right u will see "Details" click it then find the word "flash", and you will see something like this:
    Flash (3 files) - Version: 11,3,300,257
    Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
    Name: Shockwave Flash
    Description: Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
    Version: 11,3,300,257
    3. I say again, this worked for me on Chrome. The 3 files i have, two of them are Version 11,3,300,257 and one is 11.2.31.144
    4. Simply disable the lates version 11.3 and enable the previous version 11.2
    I hope this helps.

    Since i update with 10.4.9, I observe some problems with sound that I don't observe with 10.4.7 on an old partition:
    1. no more sound when opening excel file with office
    2. no more sound with files .rm opened with realplayer
    3. no more sound with files .wmv opened with lecteur windows media player.
    Ths files are opened normally with 10.4.7 that I conserved on an other partition.

  • TS1574 My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.

    My apple macbook pro retina 15'' ME664 has problems with sound.Either there will be no sound at all or at startup there il be very scary and broken sound and afterwards still there would be no sound.Secondly , it does not start in one shot.atleast 2 to 3 times pressing power button for longer time starts it up and afterwards still there will be no sound. Please help

    This morning i was not able to hear sound on my recently purchased  macbookpro retina 15 inch model.My attempts to resolve this issue by going to system preferences and removing the mute box that was ticked as active. i had downloaded much earlier a mac version of logmein app and noticed that in the sound  box noted above that there was a bar indicating that the default was now to logmein. i had never used this app. Why it started today, i have no idea. I moved the logmein application to trash and deleted the app , however it did not remove the default option which still blocked the sound.
    Going to a macforum gave the tha anser that to remove the logmein app, it first had to be reinstalled a nd them use the uninstaller option ftrom the dropdown menu. for now that has resolved the failure to allow sound oputput.

    There's a good chance that this is a known issue.  We'll have a Flash Player 18 beta later this week that should resolve this at http://www.adobe.com/go/flashplayerbeta/

  • Problems with sound engine

    Hello, I have 64bit arch linux on my laptop. Everything was fine until some time ago when I made an upgrade after quite some time and after that I started having some small problems with sound.
    1. The headphones stopped working when I plugged them in. I found out that in order for them to work I have to run the ESD daemon. That wasn't necessary some time ago. But then again if the ESD daemon is running and I plug off the headphones the laptop's speakers won't work.
    2. Lately a problem appeared concerning multiple sound sources. If I have my browser running and youtube is open then I get no sound from amarok. I have to close them both and open amarok first then chrome. Amarok plays just fine but if I open a youtube tab there's no sound at all.
    I have to admit it's kind of irritating having these. Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance

    I suppose it's not good that I don't have either of these files now, is it?
