Acer Aspire V5-531 Dolby Advanced Audio driver issues after updating to Windows 10

After upgrading to Windows 10 I was getting an error on loading Windows media player which indicated that: The current Dolby audio driver version is 7.2.8000.17 and the softwareapplication expects driver version 7.2.7000.7. Please install a valid driver and application combination  Although Windows 10 has probably updated your driver to the latest version of the driver (you can check this in device manager for yourself) but the Dolby Advanced Audio V2 application which was supplied by Acer (not Dolby) has not been updated to the corresponding latest version. So, you need an updated version of Dolby Advanced Audio V2 (Version 7.2.8000.17) Acer have not published an updated version. Looked all over the site coudn't find it.  My solution was to remove the error was to uninstall the Acer version and replace with the correct version downloaded from the Lenovo site below. http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds028945  I'd wanted to make sure it was the same software, so I tried without uninstalling first and it refused as a version was already installed. So that was reassuring. Thanks for the archived post below pointing me to the softwre on the Lenoveo site at the Lenovo site. I'd looked all over the Acer site for it. http://community.acer.com/t5/2013-Archives/how-i-solved-the-dolby-realtek-audio-problem/td-p/103157  There are warnings on the page above not to use the Lenovo version of the software because of 'tuning', but my audio sounds just as good as before and the error is now gone. Without it the Dolby would have been uninstalled so it seemed a reasonable punt to me. Disappointed in Acer, will buy a Lenovo next time...

Hi, The only driver that ever worked properly with Dolby was the driver for The V5-552G on windows 8 (not 8.1) This will work on your computer even if different model... the new driver on the Acer site for winodws 10 has not work either. So the one I´m using is: Audio_Realtek_6.0.1.6878_W8x64_A To Download the Driver and Software needed Go to: http://www.acer.co.in/ac/en/IN/content/drivers and Go: Ultra-Thin / Aspire / V5-552G To get dolby to work: 1. Uninstall the current driver, and any software related to it (the dolby software) 2. restart 3. Install the driver for windows 8 (in my case it never installs dolby automatically, I´ll explain how to do it manually below) 4. Restart twice (yes, I always had to restart twice after the install otherwise manually installing dolby would not work and I got an error when trying to run the install) 5. In the driver folders you downloaded and unzipped go to the folder "PCEE4" and run "DolbyAdvancedAudio.msi" 6.If you dont get the "Install PCEE" error, restart and you should be able to enjoy dolby (when its not acting up). If you get the error then you may have not followed the instructions properly. Go back to step 1 Good luck

  • Dolby Advanced Audio driver and Windows 10 for G505

    I have just installed Windows 10 to my laptop (G505) and continue to get an error message relating to the Dolby Advanced Audio driver. There are several other similar threads but I can't see an entry that helps me with my model. Is there any action I can take to complete a repair?

    I have also continued to work on this problem, without success.  I did notice something I will pass along in case it is useful to someone else.  I noticed that there are Conexant drivers listed in Device Manager in both AUDIO and in SOUND, video, etc.  After installing the suggested update, the Driver version in Audio was updated, but not the one under Sound.  I tried having the computer automatically update the one in Sound, but it is still driver version 8.66.4.50.  (Meanwhile, the Audio version is 10.0.10240.16384.) Please note that I am doing this on a G580, not a G505.   I guess my question is, should the driver versions match--or at least be close?

  • Problems with dolby advanced audio driver after upgrade on X230

    Hello,
    After I downloaded manually realtek audio driver version 6.0.1.6647 and upgraded it on my X230 I get following error:
    actual version 7.2.8000.13 of dolby-audiodriver is installed, but the software need driver-version 7.2.7000.7. Please install a correct combination of software and driver.
    I found in the net that other users got a similar error on Thinkpad E530 and a conexant driver. There it helped to de-install the driver, no reboot and run the thinkvantage upgrade tool, which repaired the problem automaticly. 
    I tried it in the same way, but after I de-installed the driver, the upgrade-tool didn't found any upgrade. And I have no conexant driver.
    What can I do to fix this error?
    Thanks for Help
    Martin

    Hi mhohhman,
    X230 does uses different driver with E530. Please refer followig link for driver.

  • Hard drive issues after update 10.10.3

    Question also posted here:Hard Drive Issues (Both new and old)
    I'm trapped in a HDD nightmare with my MacBook Pro mid-2012.
    I updated to Yosemite 10.10.3 (with the Photos app). A couple of days after the update, I was watching a movie on my TV screen via HDMI. In the middle of the movie I removed the HDMI cable from the MacBook Pro and everything freezes. I forced shut down (Note: My HDD was encrypted). After I forced shut down, I tried to turn on and the loading screen would never stop loading - like, 14 hours stuck with the progress bar. Since I have backups, I decided to access DU and format my HDD. I tried everything. For real. Every command line I could type on Terminal to format, repair, erase and/or partition. I read almost every issue-related questions on the forums and stack exchange groups for a week (even posted my issue here: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/181090/erasing-and-partitioning-hard-dr ive-from-internet-recovery?noredirect=1#comment215695_181090).
    So, I decided that it was a HDD failure and bought a new one.
    I bought the Seagate 1TB SSHD Hybrid  - ST1000LM014. Installed the new fresh disk and guess what? All those same problems again. I´m not able to restore from Time Machine because it doesn't recognize the disk in the restore page. But the disk is recognized in the DU. When I try to erase or partition the new SSHD, the same old errors: File system formatter failed. Yes, I tired GUID Partition Table, all of the security options, etc.
    Please. Any light that you can throw at this issue, I'll be very grateful for. BTW, the new SSHD is recognized and the SMART Status says: Verified.
    Any ideas on *** is going on?
    Thanks in advance!
    MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), i7, 8GB RAM

    After I erase the hard drive (I assume one pass of writing zeros is good enough, 7 passes not needed?) do I turn off the laptop, then turn on and insert the Install Disk? Will there be a prompt telling me when to put in the disk? Or do I put in the disc right after erasing?
    One pass is fine. If you've previously backed up your hard drive to an external hard drive using SuperDuper!, which is what I use and recommend, or another program, if it created a bootable drive, you want to boot off of it, bring up SuperDuper! and copy the drive back to the internal hard drive. SuperDuper also makes the drive bootable. When done, reboot, and you should be all set. If you're using Time Machine, you'll want to install the operating system, then restore the Time Machine backup. SuperDuper! is available from http://www.shirt-pocket.com/superduper/superduperdescription.html
    Finally- should I update the OS? Is there a problem with the newest update that caused this crash, or was it just a spurious glitch/bad luck?
    I've been running 10.5.8 for awhile with no issues, and would recommend moving to it.

  • Audio not working after Updating to Windows 10

    I have seen a solution for Windows 8, I have just updated to Windows 10 (from Windows 7), should I try the samething?I have tried different things but if I put ear buds in I have sound but no sound from laptop speakers.

    hi Nitish,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    Just to check, are you using Windows 10 Insider Preview (x64) - Build 10162 which is the latest as of this writing?
    I don't have a G400s unit here for testing but can you try the following:
    1. Check if the audio works fine when using a headphone / external speaker
    2. Run Windows Updates to get the latest patch and bug fixes for the OS.
    3. Apply the "workaround" fix as discussed in this microsoft article (the fix requires you to limit the "Maximum memory" to 3072 under MSConfig > Boot > Advanced Options ).
    Regards

  • Lenovo driver issues after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi, i recently upgraded my Y50 to windows 10 after i got the notification. Now the Fn+F6 to disable the trackpad and Fn+F5 for airplane mode don't work. others seem to be working properly. I was unable to find any rivers. Also, i noticed that league of legends now runs at 60fps when uncapped, while previously it ran at about 180. I am not sure if the nvidia graphics card is being detected or if it is using the intel one.

    the problem has been fixed by  1- reinstalled win 10  2- win 10 removed intel hd 5500 driver as expected  , but i didnt update it manually nor by update from device manager nor make any changes ,  so i ran windows 10 update tool from system and made all 100% update after restart things are ok  now every thing is ok and new intel hd 5500 driver has been installed  by win 10 update tool : 10.18.15.4248 //driver date : 29/06/2015 also invidia 840m driver has been updated thanx for any try to help and if any one still stuck with black screen the problem is that win 10 read two monitors instead of 1 so you have to click "windows button + P while black screen already on  " and try to hit and click on first choise or other choises till you can see the desktop , sure u cant see any thing while u are trying to choose but you should try or may be you connect another monitor or tv and fix this issue by win button + P good luck

  • Bluetooth Mouse Driver Issues after updating to SP1

    Greetings!
    After upgrading to SP1 my bluetooth mouse stopped working.  The dongle I'm using is being detected fine, and when I scan for the mouse I can find it, but when I try to connect to it I get a "Locate driver" message from Vista.  When I let it scan for the driver it is unable to find anything compatible, so when I tell it to scan the CD that came with it again it finds nothing.  It's like the Bluetooth HID Device driver is no longer working.
    This is the dongle:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/9403.html
    This is the mouse:
    http://us.kensington.com/html/12635.html
    Some of the things I've tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack.  I've tried using Vista's Bluetooth stack instead of the WIDCOMM stack, with no luck.
    I've also tried the Bluesoleil drivers with no luck there either, in fact those seem to break the dongle and Vista is no longer able to detect it.
    I've tried the install CD that came with the mouse, but it seems that is for Windows XP only.
    I've tried another Bluetooth mouse that produces the exact same results, with a CD that is for Vista.
    Anyone else having this issue?

    Just wanted to update this with an answer.
    I'm pretty sure that running vsp1cln.exe was the reason why my Bluetooth and iPod stopped working.  I reinstalled Vista and upgraded to SP1 without running that tool to clean up the install files and both bluetooth and my iPod are working again.  It must clean up the driver files that they were using and the new files are not compatible or something.  Not sure really.

  • Wifi low range,Dolby advance audio system driver

    hi,
    1. i would like to inform about my problem regarding wifi weak range which doesn't detect more than 1-2 meter field,as it was not the same case intially.
    2. i lost my dolby advanced audio driver where and how can i get it back please i need one!!!!.
    3. i lost my keypad buttons which is not working ...so it would be greatful if you will let meknow the price for the new one for same model.

    Hi @AnshRaj ,
    Thank you for your query.
    I understand you have these issues with your notebook.
    1. Your wireless signal is weak.
    2. You have lost your Doiby advanced driver
    3. You have lost some keyboard keys.
    Have you ran the Windows troubleshooter?
    Have you ran the  HP Support Assistant ?
    For the first issue here are two links to assist you.
    Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7, Vista)
    Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet connection (Windows 7)
    For the second issue here is a link to the recommended drivers.
    Pavilion dv6-3043tx  Software  and Drivers
    You could also try restoring the orignal drivers using the recovery manager
    Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
    For the lost notebook keys.  Here is a link to the HP Pavilion dv6 Entertainment PC Maintenance and Serive Guide.
    Please note chapter 3, page 19 , item 3 for replacement keyboards.
    If you just wish to try and replace the keys alone, you can try an Intenet search for laptop keys.
    My last suggestion would be to try a full recover back to factory.
    Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
    There will be an option to backup your personal data to prevent loss.  If you have not already done one, now is a good time.

  • Dolby Advanced Audio for Aspire V5-571G Windows 10

    I'm using an Acer Aspire V5-571G laptop and I just today upgraded it to Windows 10.  I need to download Dolby software (near the power putton, it says "Dolby Advanced Audio | Virtual SurroundSound", so I'm thinking I have get Dolby Advanced Audio).  I'm having trouble finding a good place to download it from, though, so could somebody help me?  Thanks in advance.
