Advance Docking Station Audio out

I have set of Harman / Kardon speakers that work fine when connected to my HP laptop headset outlet. The laptop is an HP elitebook 8560 running Windows 7. The laptop is docked onto an Advance Docking Station (NZ223aa). When I move the speaker cable to the audio out outlet on the docking station, the speakers are silent and the laptop speaker continues to work. Any suggestions?

Also please check Lenovo.com for an updated driver.  I think there have been 2 drivers out in the past 3 weeks for the Conexant.

  • User misplaced key after locking 2504 Advanced docking station

    My company employs lots of remote users, one user in particular has locked her T60 notebook onto her type 2504 Advanced Docking Station and 'misplaced' her key.  The machine won't boot now and I need to be able to get to the battery in order to begin to troubleshoot it.  It won't power on if I have the power cord plugged into the docking station.
    Can anyone give me any pointers on how to undock this notebook so I can get her initial problem solved?
    Thanks,
    Eric O.

    The canned answer is order some new keys.
    A locksmith might be able to turn the lock barrel.  A toolsmith might be able to bust the machine out of there without damaging the base cover of the ThinkPad but maybe not without damage to the dock.

  • T61 /Advanced Docking Station Problem

    I have a problem undocking T61 from an Advanced Docking Station ----- Message" You cannot eject your computer because one of the devices in the docking station, "Printer Port (LPT1)" cannot be stopped because a program is still accessing it"
    No hardware is attached to any printer port and as far as I can tell no program should be running.  If I shut down I can then undock. The docking station was new yesterday!
    Any help/advice would be appreciated' 

    I use a 320GB in my advance dock and don't have any problems with it.  I'm running a z61p so perhaps that is where the issue lies..

  • Which HDD is compatible with HP 120W Advanced Docking station (NZ222AA)

    Please tell me which HDD is compatible with integrated SATA upgrade bay of the HP 120W Advanced Docking Station (NZ222AA).. I can't find the info neither in user's manual nor at HP site. Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Please check this:
    While neither station can be upgraded, both feature an upgrade bay that allows you to install an extra hard drive. If you choose to install the extra drive, you will add additional gigabytes to your current laptop storage space. However, if you choose to take advantage of the extra space, a standard hard drive will not fit in the upgrade bay. HP offers a 500GB hard drive specifically designed for the upgrade bay on the 120W and 230W; you would need to order the upgrade hard drive through HP.

  • W520 docking station audio problems

    My new W520 is nice but it has a few quirks:
    1.  When plugged into the docking station, my external speakers (Klipshe desktop) have bad background noise, like  grinding metal when volume knob is at 20% or more.   Unplugging the audio (green) cable from the docking station eliminates the noise, and the cable works great when plugged into my iPhone.  The noise is apparently coming from the docking station!
    2.  Undocking the W520 causes the audio to no longer work.   The Control Panel, Sound page shows just "Conexant 20672 SmartAudio HD" default device.   That test results in "Failed to play test tone".
    Any help or recommendations is appreciated !
    Thank you,
    Steve

  • When is the new docking station going to come out for the new iPod touch with the lightning connection?

    I have just got the new iPod Touch for christmas. I am now wondering when a docking station will come out for the new iPod Touch with the new lightning connection. I have not been able to find a docking station that fits the iPod Touch without having to buy the adapter(the adapter does not allow the iPod to be charged)
    When will a docking station come out for the new iPod Touch?
    Olivia Davey

    You would have to ask the makers of the docking stations that question. Belkin has a dock now that uses Apple's Lightning cable:
    http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J057-Belkin/p/P-F8J057
    so all it basically does is provide a stand and pass through the headphone jack. There's at least one other dock here:
    http://www.thelightningdock.com/products/iphone-5-dock
    If you're referring to Apple's Universal Dock, there have been no indications that they will make any new dock, though of course none of us here know their plans for future products.

    No problem. It is an older monitor. But being a small business, we can't afford to discard a working monitor that costs $1500 to replace.
    The annoying part is that we tried to do a lot of research prior to purchase to find out exactly what resolutions the Lenovo docking solutions supported. We asked our rep to check because of the total lack of Lenovo documenation on this. We would not have wasted all this time trying to get it to work if we had known.
    Even now, no one from Lenovo has come right out and stated that their docking stations don't support Dual Link. I think that they actually have no idea.
    We've been bounced around and around between the same Lenovo sales, support and customer service numbers so many times in the past three days that they are now just dropping our calls in the hope that we will go away. No one at Lenovo has offered a solution of any kind.
    FYI, we've even been told that because we ordered the W540 through CDW that there is 'nothing Lenovo can do.'

  • Vista dies when using Advanced Dock with Nvidia graphics card

    I installed a Nvidia Gefore 8600GT video card in my advanced docking station but when i dock my laptop it freezes and has to be hard booted off the dock in order to work again. Do I have to use the ATI X1300 card?

    The Advanced Dock only supports the ATI X1300 card and with XP. 
    with only these models of ThinkPads:
    The ThinkPad Advanced Dock (2503-10U) supports the 256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Dual-VGA or Dual-DVI, TV-out PCI-Express Graphics Adapter with the following ThinkPad system configurations:

  • Problem using DVD/CD drive with Thinkpad Advanced Dock -- drive gets "lost" on start-up

    Hello, I have a Thinkpad Advanced Docking station, a Thinkpad T60p, and an UltraBay Slim Super Multi-Burner Drive (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4083N) that I use in the docking station's expansion bay.  Whenever I restart the docking station and computer, the multi-burner drive becomes "lost" -- I have to physically remove the drive and re-insert it for the computer to recognize the drive. 
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?
    Does anyone know how to get around it?

    Yes, I have had the same problem. I have the HP Pavilion 14.1" but similar stuff. I don't know if you noticed searching but there are a LOT of people who have this problem. Apple won't help me because they say its not them. HP and Costco Tech Support can't figure it out and I don't have another 3+ hours to sit on the phone more to figure it out. Its an issue with Apple and Windows believe it or not, I am considering selling my ipod and not using itunes to purchase music and movies anymore. So are friends. The ONE way to fix it is you go into the regedit and delete the upper and lower drive filters for the drive. The problem with this is now when you go back into itunes it will no longer recognize your drive. So two options you are left with A) Itunes working without your cd drive working at all OR B) your cd drive working for everything BUT itunes and when you use itunes you get that message about not finding your cd drive. So no matter what you do, itunes and your drive will never work together. That is just how it is and NO SOLUTION has been found. Apple doesn't know or care. HP or Microsoft has no idea because its something Apple did. And despite people frantically trying to find solutions online, there really doesn't seem to be any to this point. If someone finds a viable working solution to this problem to get your drive and itunes to work TOGETHER even after restarting, I would be VERY HAPPY as well as 'computerguy'!

  • W530 docking station supporting 4k monitor?

    Hello,
    I have googled for quite a while now without luck. It seems to me that the most advanced docking station for the W530 is the "Mini Dock Plus Series 3 with USB 3.0 - 170W" which only supports a maximum resolution of 2560x1600 from its display ports according to this German webpage: http://www.notebooksbilliger.de/lenovo+thinkpad+mini+dock+plus+series+3+usb+30+0a65699.
    Anybody know of a docking station for the W530 (244723U model) that supports 4k? 
    Regards,
    Håkan

    Hello,
    I have this question too. I'm planning to buy Asus 4K monitor and not sure, whether it will work via DP on my docking station.
    Thanks.

  • Need hard drive for docking station

    I have the advanced docking station, and need to know which hard drives are compatible with the ultrabay.  Also, do I need an adapter for the ultrabay?

    ThinkPad Serial ATA Hard Drive Bay Adapter (40Y8725)
    this is the sata version you need. Make sure you get the exact part number. 
    The Advanced Dock use a PATA interface, while the newer thinkpads i.e. T400/500.. R400/R500 etc use a SATA interface drive.

  • T410 Docking Station Compatibility

    I just ordered a new T410 to replace a T61.  I have an advanced docking station, Type 2503, will this docking station work with the T410?  Thank you.

    After doing a little more research, I noticed the Lenovo site shows the Hardware Compatibility for the Advanced Dock and it lists the T400 - All Models.  Am I wrong to consider the T410 a model variant of the T400?

  • Workstation for my docking stations

    I had (it was stoled yesterday) a HP Elitebook 8540w and 2 docking stations for it.
    The one I have here at home, have product code VB041AA.
    I'm searching now a new workstation compatible with my docking stations.
    Are the Zbook 15 series compatible? It seems that the new docking station for it has an equal socket.
    Is'nt it?
    Wich mobile workstation are compatible with my workstations?

    Hi,
    Based on the following specs, the existing docking station uses 90W adapter:
        https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/99/VB041AA.htm
    The following docking stations are compatible with the Zbook machines:
    HP 230W Docking Station
    HP 120W Advanced Docking Station
    HP 230W Advanced Docking station
    Source: http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/html/pdfs/HP_ZBook_15_WW_Datasheet.8-30-13.pdf
    Given they use same connectors, you need more power otherwise the system will display error messages all the times.

  • Advanced Dock and hard drive in drive bay

    I'm trying to set up a backup hard drive for a Lenovo T61 in the Advanced Docking station.  Whenever I boot up with the hard drive connected it takes around 20-30 minutes to boot to the Windows log in screen.  When the T61 is disconnected for the boot up it will take the normal time to boot.  When I connect the T61 after start up it will see the hard drive that is in the bay.
    What seems to happen is when the T61 is connected to the docking station, it runs a chkdsk on the drive in the bay before loading Windows.  This happens every time that the laptop is connected to the docking station upon powering up or restarting.
    The hard drive that I have in the bay is a Hitachi 160 GB, 7200 RPM (the one supplied by Lenovo).
    Any help on getting the boot up to go at the normal speed would be appreciated!

    The_Sauce, welcome to the forum,
    a shot in the dark; does the bay hard drive show up in the BIOS boot list? What happens if you exclude it?
    Let us know
