Hi Yobrak,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that after a recent update in Windows 8.1 you lost your audio. Just to  clarify, it was a Windows 8.1 update, not that you upgraded to Windows 8.1 that caused this, correct?
You have tried updating the driver and doing a restore back to an eariler date but no change. 
I suggest you try this first.
Uninstall the audio driver
Update the chipset driver and then reinstall the audio driver.
Here is a link to a document to assist with this issue.No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8). Have you run  The HP Support Assistant to help resolve this issue and to look for any updates?  Have you tested for hardware failure.? Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8).
If the hardware tested fine and  it is still not resolved, I suggest you do a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).  You will receive a prompt during this process to backup your personal files. If you have not yet done a backup, I suggest you do it now, to prevent data loss. Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8).

  • Microsoft word 2013 function home and end keys not working together on HP Envy X2

    Please help I've tried out Microsoft Office Word 2013 on two HP Envy X2 11.6" laptops/touch screen with keyboard and when I am in a Word document and am at the end or beginning of a document and select the FUNCTION KEY AND THE HOME OR END KEY, it does nothing. This is not the case in Internet Explorer or a web browser.  There is a problem with the HP keyboard and Office 2013 or maybe any Word app. Help me as I use documents alot and rely on this function heavily.  I can only page up or scroll up using the bar. It is not ideal.

  • My volume key not working volume increase automatically, how to mute all audio

    my volume key not working, volume increase automatically if i go to audio settings i can adjust, but  again volume increase automatically , how to mute all audio

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comeback again?
    If this does not boring back a working volume control, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device, explained here:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If still no luck, you'll have to get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or Apple Store next to your place.

  • Audio device is not working, i have installed proper drivers, but audio device is not working

    hi,
    I have installed registery mechanic last week and made a system run in my laptop. After re starting my laptop, my audio devices are not working fine. I have installed the drives correctly and they are reflecting in program lists, how ever the audio device is not working. If I am reinstalled the system,  My audio device is working fine, I have installed a fresh OS, but sitll its not working fine, could you help me to fix this one.

    Tecra A8
    Model No = PTA83L-04C02N
    Can you please tell me from where I need driver so that my "Fn" key will be operation? Right now I tried to use "Fn" with F6 and F7 which suppose to change screen resolutions but nothing is happening.
    Can you please tell me if I reinstall New OS (Windows XP - Sp2) then in which order which driver and Toshiba software I should install?
    Hard to find XP drivers and utilities for that machine, Manoj. But you're in luck because the Asian part-number family PTA83L corresponds to the European PTA83E.
    Go to the European download site and look up the Tecra A8 with Short Model No. PTA83E. You'll find 40 XP drivers, utilities, and BIOS updates.
    Install the Chip Set Utility first, then the Display Driver, and then the other major drivers. Install the Common Module prior to Toshiba utilities and other programs.
    Good luck!

    Right click your volume icon in the notification area and select "volume control options". From there, you should be able to select the external speakers.
    I hope that helps!

  • Volume and brightness keys not working with new keyboard on imac

    I just purchased a new wired keyboard for imac and brightness and volume control keys not working . i have tried adjusting keyboard settings. I have software version 10.5.8. Do I need to upgrade software. Thank you for any help.

  • Audio Service is not Working.

    HI everybody,
    So today i just turned my pc on after a few days and noticed that there was RED CROSS "X" on my volume icon. It says that Audio Service is not working. i opened services(service.msc) searched for it and when i tried to start
    it gives me this ERROR! I searched for solutions over the net as well as here. Recommendations that i found were 
    >Reinstall the drivers
    >Unisntall drivers from Device Manager and then reinstall.  (WHEN I TREID TO INSTALL DRIVERS IT GAVE ME ERROR THAT "AUDIO SERICE IS NOT RUNNING AND COULDNT BE STARTED" )
    >Run "RPC" service and "Endpoint service". Currently both are running !
    Last but not least, u must be thinking that why i posted such a big post, this is because others problems were solved and issue was also a bit different. :D
    (I tried to post two images but the site said that u are not allowed to post images and links!)
    Thank you all in advance, and please help me quick to solve this problem. I cant play games without sound for long ! :"(

    Hi
    Are you installing new drivers downloaded from the manufacturer website or letting windows install it for you?
    Try disabling the sound card in the bios, reboot and then enable it again, reboot and see what windows does.
    Can you also run a sfc scan and see if there are any corrupted files?

  • Some keybaord keys not working after suspect virus on Tecra A

    Apostrophe, delete, semicolon and end keys not working after a suspected virus attack. I found record of the same problem on the net but apparently this guy fixed his problem after he found scroll lock or num lock on.
    This is not the case here but there is something going on with numlock - register shows 2 and not 0. change to 0 but when reboot back to 2 again.
    Suspect changed back by bios. I thought i couldnt get to bios because DEL key not working but found ESC works.
    Tried to reset default values for bios but then cannot save and exit as this required the END key to work.
    I was running XP at the time of the (suspected) attack and could not rectify the problem so put the computer back to the OEM status which i hoped would help - it did not, same problem so rather than install all the software on the computer again with XP i upgraded to Windows7 - fresh install.
    Still keys do not work - it was a real pain to start with as my computer was set up to ctl+alt+del to log in and i had to do this with on screen keyboard - XP - this also showed that numlock was on before and after windows boot.
    The reason i suspect a virus - my wife was watching one of her tv shows on line from home country (another toshiba laptop) and i needed to use that laptop for something else so i asked her to use mine - later on we turned the laptops off and in the morning turned tham back on again, the other laptop with AVG virus protection flagged several hits and this one with (FAMOUS and completely up to date) Norton flagged nothing - once i got into it using on screen keyboard.
    Problems with this computer was found after scanning with a different antivirus.
    Anyway - i am left with 4 keys that do not work on my keyboard (actually they did work after i logged into the computer for the first time but i had to hold them in for a long time - and then next time i rebooted, not work at all and havent ever since)
    Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated, i have been working on this all weekend with no joy at all.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Xardas,
    I have essentially done both - tried Toshiba OEM status found on a small partition of the toshi hard drive - no good - then did a fresh install of Windows 7 - still no good
    You know - as cunning as it sounds - i cannot reload the default settings in BIOS as it requires the END key to work so i can Save & Exit - all i can do is Exit Without Save - i sort of feel snookered at the moment.
    Toshiba got back to me today and said that i have tried everything they would have (yeah for sure) and to take my machine into a service centre for a hardware check - yeah right on boys!

    Hi there, I was hoping that you might be able to help me with the problem that I seem to be having with my Toshiba Satellite Laptop Keyboard too. For a few days now I havent been able to use a few of the keys on my keyboard, including (1) delete (the backspace key is still working though), (2) colon/semicolon, (3) apostrophe/quotation marks and (4) end (the home and PgUp and PgDn keys are still working though). Any suggestions?
    Identical to my problem....obviously this guy had the same problem as well...see below - same thread.
    yab - Feb 9, 2010 4:47am GMT
    hi did you ever figure this out? i have the same exact problem...
    However, i was not able to solve my problem the way this guy did - my scroll lock is not activated - it seems to work ok (on and off) i tested it using Excel to move around the cells.
    yab ms ml - Feb 9, 2010 7:57am GMT
    Nevermind. For me it was scroll lock. My apostrophe, semicolon, and delete keys are alive and working again. I hope you have the same easy fix.
    Incidently - never hear from the first guy again - probably ended up being his scroll lock.
    all sugestions welcome - sorry my smily face has no eyes -) guess why!

  • Esc key not working in windows 7

    Hi,
    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-4XXX series. It's almost been 2 years I bought this notebook. 
    Recently I faced an issue. The "ESC KEY" has stopped working. However I could find that it's working fine in BIOS but not when I am logged in to windows. I have windows-7 installed.
    Please let me know what could be the issue and the solution for the same.

    Hello siddharthmishra,
    You’re having a problem with the ESC key not working.
    Go to device manager and uninstall the keyboard and restart the computer. This should uninstall and reinstall the driver for the keyboard.
    Here is a link to device manager.
    If the problem has not been happening for very long, you might try a System Restore. This will take the system back to before the problem started happening without affecting any of your files.
    Here is a link to a System Restore.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • Command, option, ctrl, fn keys not working

    thanks to a visiting dog who got tangled up the power adapter my laptop ended up on the floor, wide open with the keyboard popped out. I have inspected the connector cable and it looks OK to the naked eye. I disconnected the keyboard cable and re-connected.
    When using an external USB keyboard all keys function normally. When using the built-in keyboard the only keys not working are the command, option, ctrl and fn keys. I have restored modifier keys to default (I had never changed them) but this did not help. I also toggled the "use F1-F12 to control..." option in the keyboard preferences to no avail and have restored keyboard shortcuts to no avail.
    Is my keyboard shot? Is the a pref file I might delete?

    Hi, Mel. If the external keyboard works properly, I'm afraid you have to figure your built-in KB has been dogged to death. I hope the pet owner will do the right thing by you. I also hope the KB is all that was damaged. How are your adapter cord, plug, and DC-In port? Does your battery still charge OK?
    Whenever anything visits my house that's active, inattentive, and built low to the ground, my Powerbook runs on battery power only. I haven't seen one yet, but the new magnetically-connected, easily- and harmlessly-detached MacBook Pro AC adapters sound like a superb idea to me. Too bad our PBs can't use 'em.

  • Keyboard: some keys not working

    Some keys not working.  Need help/suggestions.  Not great with computers so PLEASE give details/steps re: how to do what you suggest - thanks!
    Details: intel based iMac running snow leopard 10.6.8.  Apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard (came with the iMac).
    Some keys suddenly stopped working:  space, tab, capLock, option key to the right of space bar (one on the left works), down arrow
    The problem happens in various programs (safari, pages, etc)
    The keyboard is fine on another iMac
    A different keyboard is fine on this/the involved iMac
    (nutshell: keyboard works fine - computer works fine, unless they're together)
    Here's what's been tried/checked:
    -checked the settings for universal access ("mouse keys" are off) and checked for any bluetooth keyboard shortcuts.
    -in system preferences "speech" is not set for "speak selected text when the key is pressed" - this is not checked/selected
    -tried creating a new user but had the same issue so it's computer-wide rather than just a user account
    -removed the keyboard and reconnected (using the +/- signs and "disconnect" and putting in a new code of numbers to pair keyboard)
    -language/text is set for english
    -did the keyboard viewer and the keys in question did NOT highlight when pressed (but don't forget the entire keyboard is fine on a different computer so thekeys aren't the issue)
    -"slow keys" is turned off re: keyboard in system preferences.
    Any help is welcomed.  It's frustrating knowing the keyboard works, just not with this computer.  Please help.  Many thanks!

    yes - not sure how this works...if you can see my original post there are a lot of details in there.  If you can't...
    nutshell: the keyboard works on a different iMac
                 a different keyboard works on this/the involved iMac
                 I tried to create a different user and the keyboard still does not work so it is computer-wide
                 I also removed the keyboard from the computer (using the +/- symbols and disconnecting and then repairing it.  The problem remained
    Thanks for any help.  It's crazy that the keyboard is fine and the computer is fine but together, there's the problem.
    Thank you!!!
