Audio does'nt work in most cases unless I download first

Hi
Just wondering if anyone else has experience this, on my HP laptop
if I click on something (for example) in sound cloud, in most cases
it does'nt play/no audio,  I have been on something there now called quizlet
(as I am trying to learn some french) using flash cards, there is supposed
to be audio when you click on the flash cards which gives the correct
pronouncation of the words in french, however this does not work when
I am using my HP Laptop
Just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and if you
have been able to rectify the problem as it is very frustrating?
thanks
Greg

    my audio does not work on my pavilion dv4

    This worked for me.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dashboard.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Log out/in
    If it works, delete the .plist on your desktop.
    If  the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • I've moved my Aperture library to another computer, and masters are referencing an old path name.  How can I update these references?  Reloctating masters does not work in this case :(

    I've moved my Aperture library from one computer to another using Finder.
    I merged the library with one which was already on the computer.
    Now, the photos I imported have reference to the old path name on my old computer.
    How can I update these references as "Relocate Masters" does not work in this case?

    Just one suggestion to be able to reconnect all at once:
    Create a smart album containing the images with missing masters:
    File -> New ->  Smart Album,     and add a rule: File Status is "Missing"     (or File Status is "offline")
    Then select the images in this album and go to the File menu:
    and select:   File -> Locate referenced File
    If you are lucky, Aperture will reconnect all at once, if you point the first image version to its counterpart.

  • My audio does not work...

    My audio does not work. it says it's enabled, the troubleshooting tools i've used (several) find no problems, and yes, I have the latest drivers.  When I start Windows Media Player, it says: 
    "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."
    If I click Start, Control Panel, Sound... nothing happens.  nothing.  No error message, no window starts.  Could it be my audio card failed?

      Ok, it takes 3+ days to back up 400+GB of data, wipe Windows, reinstall all my software and restore all my data.  All that drama is not worth repairing a sound card.  Besides, we need to fix this for real, not duplicate the conditions that caused it to fail in the first place.  In the future, it's best not to bring up that option at all.  (We both know that rarely solves the issue permanently.)
    I'd simply replace this so-so HP before I put myself in a position to lose 3 days of work.
    However, I am still interested in finding a solution to this problem.  Do you think HP is capable of solving this?  If so, I'll look for a more detailed model number when I get home.
    Thanks,
    Gary

  • Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    Can we copy a CD tutorial onto an iPad? Does it work like the MacBook Air when downloading or copying using the iMac?

    So it can be .mp4 format.
    If not you have to convert it.
    Try import it into iTunes then sync it to your iPad.

  • Upper case "s" does not work in most programs

    Upper case "s" does not work in a number of programs, lower case is fine. It is the only letter that is missing in both cases.
    Any ideas. Do I need to reinstall driver for keyboard? If so any idea where to get it.

    Open the Speech pane of System Preferences and check whether either the listening key or the speech key has become set to that keystroke; if so, change the setting.

  • Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time

    Hello everyone, Thanks for choosing the HP Forums! If your sound recently stopped working on Windows 8.x or Windows Server 2012, and you suspect a Windows Update is involved, then look no further! This is the troubleshooting guide that will explain how to resolve the issue! Explanation: Currently, there is a Windows update that may be causing the sound on your computer to stop working. The update is KB2962407, and it is now an “Important” update. That means that it will be installed by Windows Update unless you hide it. This thread also covers generic sound troubleshooting that can resolve "no sound" issues. Before tackling the update itself, since a Windows update may not be the culprit, there is some troubleshooting that can be done. A Round of Troubleshooting: 1. Running the Audio Troubleshooting in Windows 8 can resolve the issue. It does contain the ability to eliminate any setting that affects sound. Here are some steps on how to run this troubleshooter: a) Hold down the “Windows” and “R” key and then type “troubleshooting” and hit Enter.b) A window will open. On the left, click “View All”, then “Playing Audio”.c) Click “Advanced” and run it as Administrator. Then click “Next” to complete the process. 2. Try creating a new user account. The changes forced by the update may only affect one user. This HP document shows you how to create a new user under the “Creating a new account in Windows 8” section: Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 8) 3. Try a pair of headphones or external speakers. It will rule out where the issue lies if sound does not work through a second or third output device. 4. Another solution is to uninstall the driver manually then force it to be installed again:a) Open Device Manager, and go to the “Sound, video and game controller” section.b) Right-click on your audio driver and select “uninstall”.c) Restart the computer. This will force the hardware to write a new driver upon startup. 5. Finally, make sure that the remaining steps that you haven't tried from this document are attempted: No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8) New Inclusions: Disabling and enabling the sound driver has been tested with successful results enough for me to post here. These are the instructions to do this: a) Open Device Manager, and go to the “Sound, video and game controller” section.b) Right-click on your audio driver and select “disable”.c) Wait a minute, then right-click on it and select "enable" Also, A System Restore is also a valid troubleshooting step. This will return the computer to a point before the update and/or external source of the issue occurred. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore If you want something stronger, a Windows Refresh completely refreshes Windows 8, without affecting files: Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8) Also, here is a Windows sound troubleshooting tutorial. Just out of curiosity, I re-created the issue on a Windows 8 computer and went through this tutorial. It was able to resolve the issue: No sound in Windows  *Everything in italics  is currently un-tested, but will be tested as soon as possible. I believe these steps will help: In the search bar, type "services.msc" and hit Enter. Hold down the "Windows" key and "R" key. Type "services.msc" and hit Enter. Look for the following services: - Audio Service- Windows Audio- Windows Audio Endpoint Builder I want you to right-click each of those services, and select "Stop". When they are all stopped, right-click on each one again, and select "Start". As well, make sure each service's status is "Started" and their startup type is "Automatic". Troubleshooting the Update: At this point, unless you want to reinstall the operating system, the only other option is to tackle the update, KB2962407. Please note that the following troubleshooting is ONLY a workaround, for now, and only should be done if the computer has installed this update. First, you can try the Hotfix in this Microsoft document, specifically to address KB2962407: Windows RT, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012 update rollup: June 2014 If that doesn't help, then uninstalling the Windows Update, and then hiding it, is the only method of eliminating the issue if it caused by this update. Here is the procedure for uninstalling the update: 1. Go into Control Panel, then click on “Programs and Features”.2. Click on “View Installed Updates”. Look for the update with the ID number KB2962407.3. Right-click on the update and select “Uninstall”. Restart the computer. Next, here is the procedure for hiding the update: 1. Go into Control Panel, then click on “Windows Updates”.2. Click on “Check for Updates”. When the process is completed, is should find important update(s) available. Clicking on the message will open a window where the important update(s) is.3. Right-click on the KB2962407 update and select “Hide Update”. This will prevent the update from being installed next time Windows Updates are being installed. Conclusion:
    At the end of this guide, you will have sound working again (assuming that the cause was the Windows Update, or at least software-based). Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks!
    Mario

  • USB-Audio does not work correct on T430/T530

    Hi all!
    I'm owner of a T430 and a T530. Both are new PCs where I have installed Windows XP. The reason for XP is that I own older software and hardware, which is not supported on Windows 7. But it works fine and I have no reason to change hard- and software as long it fulfills my requirements! And Windows XP runs fine and fast on the T430 and T530.
    Only problem is an EgoSys USB Audio interdace U2A. It is possible to install and run it, but there is a problem in the communication between operating panel and the hardware. When I move the slider for the level, the level jumps instead a smooth increase of the level, which means not alle values of the slider are transferred to the hardware. There is a similar behaviour with checkboxes: there are states of the U2A which are indicaed with LEDs. When I change the checkbox, sometimes the LED changes, sometimes not. This errors happen very frequently but not reproducable.
    I tried several settings in the BIOS, like disabling one CPU, hyperthreading, USB3 etc. I tried the U2a also on a fresh XP-intallation without other software, but all without success, the behaviour of the U2A is always the same!
    I also tested with an ExpressCard with USB-port from LogiLink, but this card does not recognize the U2A at all.
    Up to now I have used the U2A on many different PCs without problems. What might be the reason that it does not work on an ThinkPad? Up to now I was very satified with the U2A and I would not like to replace it!
    regards

  • I downloaded mountain lion and my audio does not work

    I Downloaded mountain lion and my audio input does not work. I am tryig to use it with Articulate.
    I rebooted twice, I ahve taken out the external mic
    I have looked in Utilities and see if the setting are muted but all ok
    I have looked in Activity monitor
    Please help
    Brett

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. If anything is plugged into the audio-out (headphone) port, unplug it.
    2. From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
    Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
    3. You may need to darken the room for this step. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
    5. Reset the NVRAM.
    6. Reset the SMC.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • Realtek high definITION AUDIO DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!​!

    I got one in the United States NB200 netbook, and the sound worked one or two times only. I reinstalled the driver dozens of times and not succeeded. thought that upgrading to windows 7 will resolve my problem. but does not work!! I looked on the website of Toshiba, Microsoft and realtek and none of them I succeeded. I tired! anyone know what to do ...
    WINDOWS  message says I do not have driver for audio output.
    nb 200
    windows 7 32bit
    pcie realtek controller family

    This is the driver you need, but your problem might not be the driver. 
    http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/do​wnloads/driver_audio_realtek_TC40065300A.exe
    If that one doesn't work you might have a hardware failure.  Try restoring the system back to it's factory out of box state to see if it works then or not. 
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Command Tilde round robins between windows of an application but does not work in Most Recently Used mode

    Hi All,
    Suppose I have 5 excel sheets open and I want to toggle between 2 excel sheets on which i'm working on currently. How do it do it in Mac ? Cmd-~ round robins between all the open excels. Alt-Tab in windows work on the Most Recently Used concept. Is there a way to achieve this in Mac ?
    Regards,
    Avinash

    Not a reply to this specific question, just a quasi-relevant comment that might help some folks.
    In Leopard, and with (for example) English and Russian chosen in System Prefs under "Language" and the keyboard shortcut set to command+space, I would always see the flag change in the menu bar as soon as command+space were chosen. Now, under Snow Leopard, hitting command+space seems not to make the change. But it does make the change, you just need to take your fingers off the keys first, then the flag will change.

  • Updgraded G60 453 to windows 8, conexant 221 audio does not work.

    re-installed driver using Vista compatibility, driver is installed, shows as enabled and working on audio devices.
    tried clean boot, no luck.
    disabled windows HDMI driver, reboot, no luck.
    obviously, a laptop is of little value without audio/mic.  so windows 8 made this computer worthless.  is there a fix in sight?

    I have same problem with G70-200CTO laptop which I just upgraded to WIN8-32bit.  Initially, sound will work when reinstalling WIN7-32BIT driver (SP45166) but quits shortly afterwards.  DEVICE MANAGER shows HDMI as "High Definition Audio Device" and SPEAKERS as "Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221".  WIN8 initially loaded MS drivers to both devices as and showed a description of "High Definition Audio Device" for both; however, after installing HP.com driver #SP45166 the SPEAKERS changed decription to the Conexant 221.  I was very hopeful that my problems were over, but alas, it was not to be.  I read elsewhere that most of the imcompatiblilty is with the new NT6.2 OS that MS is using with WIN8.  So frustrating.  Hopefully, HP or MS will get this resolved.  Posting to get email updates in the hope getting this fixed.  Thanks.
