After Service Pack 2 update sound stopped working

Recently started again with my Satellite laptop. All was good and everything worked perfectly until i download Service pack 2. Ever since doing that the audio has stopped working.
I'm a bit novice but have tried the following:
I uninstalled the driver and downloaded the appropriate drivers from the Realtek website. reinstalled but still get the same problem. no error messages but just "Driver is enabled but has not been started" in the properties screen for the sound and device properties.
Can anyone offer a solution?

Hi
Youre right. I have read that on some notebooks the sound doesnt work after XP SP2 installation.
But the update instillation should help.
Could you please post you notebook name?

  • OS updated - Sounds stops working

    I updated my 2013 (Late model 2012) Mac Mini to the most recent version of the OS Mountain Lion this past weekend - now after about a day of use - the sounds stops working.  It is connected via the Thunderport to Displayport on a Dell Monitor.  Has always worked fine until the software update this past weekend.  Once I reboot - it starts working again and then a day later stops working and I have to reboot!  Any thoughts!
    Thanks as this seems directly related to the upgrade!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    { launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef 
    Step 4
    ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Sound stops working until i restart.

    I currently have the satellite a505-s6965. I bought it back in 2009 but last year my hard drive crashed so I replaced it with a 1tb SSdrive and upgraded to windows 7 in the process. I havent had any other issues until maybe about 2-3 weeks ago when i noticed after so long my sound stops working. I can't play videos, music or anything. Itunes wont even show the song playing at all.  I have done everything, my drivers are all up to date, my bios is updated. I have tried headphones and none of that changes anything.
    However...if I hit the volume up button on the laptop, it will beep through both the speakers and headphones but no other sounds will play. But if I restart it will all go back to working forr so long. Sometimes when the sound works i may sound a little cracked or weird.
    Any suggestions on a fix for this issue?

    Hi. I see that this question has gone unresolved since Oct. I'm having a similar problem. Also using FCP 7.
    I have a video, recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30. I captured the video and found that the sound was recorded too high. There was an audio recorder, Zoom H4, recording at the same time, and it had a much better level, so I imported the .wav file to my project. I spent about 2 hrs cutting the video and the audio, syncing the audio to the video and making cuts between the songs that were played to edit out the between song banter and other stuff.
    All seemed to be working fine, and then at some point, I clicked the "L" key to move forward, and there was a loud pop, and the sound went away. Whenever I press the start key, or one of the J, K, L keys, it click/pops and no sound is available.
    Any help with that?

  • Iphone sound stopped working after ios 6.0 update

    My 4s was working fine until I updated to 6.0.  After that, my sound stopped working.  If I plug in headphones it works, but as soon as I unplug it stops.  When I plug into my USB sync cable it works, but when I unplug it stops working. I updated through user settings over wifi and not through itunes sync if that makes any difference.  I know other people are experiencing similar problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes rev, I tried the dock cleaning as well, I didn't help me either. I read and tried everything others did-no luck. I'm guessing these are the facts, either it will quietly get fixed on an update or the % of phones with the problem compared to those that don't doesn't warrant attention and is better addressed through Apple by just replacing it..if it's still under warranty.

  • IQ770 crashed after service pack 1 automatic update.

    after service pack one was downloaded ,while on line i would get kicked off.eventually windows wouldnt boot up,and then received a blue screen with an error message saying windows has shut down to prevent further damage to the computer.then the computer would only boot up in safe mode.i tried system restore in safe mode,but it did not work.i called hp technical support. they told me i need to do a system recovery.i tried a system recovery through the hard drive, it went through the whole process,and i thought it was going to work,but when it was time for windows to boot up the computer froze.the tech said i need to purchase a recovery cd and it should work.i ordered it and i followed the directions and ran the cd.when the disc was complete the screen was white,and there was no response of any kind.then after a few hours i shut the computer off.when i turned it back on there was nothing but a screen with vertical colored lines,and no response.i have had the computer for 14 months when this happened.i don't know what to do? has this happened to anyone els?

    hi, ive got almost the same problem. I just haven't followed through on the back-up as far as you have. good thing, it looks like. I've almost filled my hard drive, now going on 19mos later. i wish i could help. my video is fine, i think. ive ran every free malware, virus, defender and anti spyware prog i could find for this. and got rid of a lot of supposed threats. but the problems get worse and worse. lately i cant get my hardware to work right. seems one thing after another one piece or another seems to go out. weird thing is: the drivers say they are totally updated just for some reason not working and needs to go online but wireless and ethernet both have "hardware connection errors" so i cant get the sucker online. then my system speakers are out. ive tried uninstalling, disabnling, updating via sd card and hp and microsofts sites (all the trials and errors not necessarily in chronological order) but i dont know what to do. winlogon shuts off, oembios shuts off, now i look over and windows explorer keeps going out aaaaaaarrrrrrgh, i dont have that much money to get new warranty. <text deleted> since i cant get online with mine its not up to me when i can check my email. but if someone wants to try and troubleshoot this with me via messenger if im on or email id really appreciate it. im at a loss cuz im normaly the it tech to go to for vista, but now im lost and would really appreciate any and all info or idea...even if ive tried it, maybe my sequencing was off and im willing to retry ....thanks

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 stopped working and was closed?

    After trying many different fixes including uninstalling flash player  and unsuccessfully trying to reinstall it, would consistently stop  loading at about 57 percent.  Either there are remains of registry keys interfering or your site or my computer has been attacked.  No malware showing after checking with antivirus.  Seen same message on other computers.  Had to restore computer to earlier date but lost some contact info in the process in  Skype.  Possible problem from trying to install internet tv software, but restored to previous point there to.  Computer works ok but slowed on internet considerably but message shows continuously daily need a better solution or let your site analyze my flash player. What can I do?
    adobeloug              

    thank you for your info, I did edit the question to show I was using vista (business to be specific).  I will try again with some afterthoughts.  Will enable Java first.  I remember that was a problem in a  previous update, I thought that was always running and go through the steps again.  I don't feel comfortable messing with the registry and if you can add some advice on how to deal with that safely that would be appreciated also.  Thank you so much for your quick response.  Also, isupgrade to explorer 10 recommended for vista or is it suppose to accommodate windows 8.  I don't want to be a beta tester before they work out all the kinks sincerelyadobelougLou Grubin

  • Sound stops working, 3 seconds after plugging in headphones

    I have a strange issue on my phone where the sound stops working after about 3 seconds (consistently), after plugging in headphones.
    I have the latest software update and I don't have any special sound modifying apps. No software I've installed ruined this, it has worked fine before, until about two weeks ago. I've also dust-cleaned the headphone jack.
    Without headphones, the sound works great.
    Here's an example of what happens
    1. I start a video on YouTube / play a song / start a call with someone / start a game
    2. The sound works well, nothing is strange at all
    3. I plug in my headphones
    4. The sound now works in the headphones
    5. About 3 seconds later, the sound stops working completely, in all the cases above
    6. The sound never returns, until I unplug my headphones
    I'm clueless as to what could be causing this. Does anyone have any idea?

    I've tried that, but it doesn't work
    It seems like a software/firmware issue, since the 3 seconds of working is 100% the same every time

  • Regarding Facetime on my Ipad. I get started on a call and after 10 or 15 minutes I cannot hear whom I am talking to. They can still hear me and I still have picture on the screen but my sound stops working.

    Why can't we use Acrobat Pro for mobile devices? Save a whole lot of headaches!!! Now I have to return this subscription.

  • I updated my ipad and the sound stopped working.

    I updated my ipad to IOS 8.1.and the sound stopped working. My sidebar buttons say soundeffects or soundeffects mute when I press them. On my control panel there is no sound bar. As you can see in this screenshot it is not showing a sound bar to adjust volume. HELP?!

    Update: Last night, I cleaned my headphone port & docking port. Reset Network Settings & General Reset all settings & reset ipad. Didn't work immediately & had some setbacks. I decided to wait to do the restore factory default for the next day, this morning. I decided to test the sound before proceeding. My sound is working correctly now & didn't need to resort to the restore factory default. All of the above worked but perhaps needed over night to really dry the rubbing alcohol used to clean the ports.?
    sound is working. Thanks so much for your help Diavonex!

  • HT1338 after an update safari stopped working any ideas on how to fix this?

    after an update safari stopped working any ideas on how to fix this?

    Use another browser to install Safari again.
    You can download Firefox for the Mac, place the download on a USB thumb drive stick it into the Mac and copy it, run the installer.
    Once FF is on, download a new copy of Safari from Apple's site.

  • TS3274 After installing iOS 7 camera stopped working normally. I can't take pictures with the back camera only the front camera. All was good before the update. Please fix this bug.

    After installing iOS 7 camera stopped working normally. I can't take pictures with the back camera only the front camera. All was good before the update. Please fix this bug.

    Hi Midnightbrat,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone:  I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
    Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

    Make sure Must is not selected in System Preferences > Sound
    Might be corrupted sound preferences ...
    Open the Finder.

  • KM2M + WIN XP sound stops working after a few minutes

    as in subject i have a KM2M COMBO-L (MS 6738) MoBo with athlon xp 2000+ and 128 MB spectek PC2100.
    The problem is that the sound stops working after some minutes of use.
    It's the same problem in all the 10 PCs of my webcafe

    KM2M uses the Realtek ALC650 CODEC.  Are you using the VIA Audio driver or Realtek?  It should say under audio properties.
    I recommend the Realtek drivers.
    Of course, if you are already using the Realtek, then I recommend the VIA drivers.
    Pretty insightful, eh?
