Audio is just not working!!!Frustrated
I have checked the Skype page for help with audio and I made the arrangements with the control panels of SOund &Audio but Skype still can't pick up my voice. Previously, when I was in Russia my family could talk to me through Skype using the computer but for some reason it had stopped working for them....So I got some universal headsets to see if that could fix the problem but Skype still can't hear me. I have several questions...My headphones came with these two plugs in a additonal to the plug that is already attached to my headset. What are they for? I can't see a place to plug them in on the usual place I plug headphone in on my monitor so......what would you suggest? Also, do you have any other tips as to how I can get SKype to pick up my voice? I tried using both headset and just the audio system I believe was built into my computer but it still won't work. Do external audio systems help?
Hi @Brightergraphic ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Spectre x2 and issues with sound not working correctly. The first thing to try is this HP support document No Sound from Speakers. It has a number of good troubleshooting steps including using the built-in Windows troubleshooter.
Here is a fix that has helped others.
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

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?

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?
Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated! -
audio output will not work on external speakers. Internal speakers will work. What do i do to replace audio output slot
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!
Best of luck,
Kyle

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

I have adobe acrobat pro for windows and it is freezing up when I try to convert a word file to pdf... I have tried to get this done six ways from Sunday but it is just not working... help! Chris.
It would be helpful to know what version of Acrobat, WORD, and operating system.
Without that info, I would suggest at this point to open your WORD file and then go to the print menu and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer. Open the created file in Distiller and see if you get a PDF. If so, check to see if AcroTray is running in the background.
You say you tried many ways. It would help to know what you tried and what worked or did not work, and at what point the failure occurs. -
iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help. The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't. Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
my iPad is a 3rd gen, 16GB wifi only model, if that helps
I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!Godly19 wrote:

iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.

The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?

And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case. -
Multicam source sequence - audio offset does not work when syncing via audio
Working double sound with Canon 5D footage and syncing via audio is a big help, but the camera sound is one frame ahead of the video.
Merge clips requires each v/a clip pair be selected individually AND can't be slipped after merging - so that's no good.
Create multi-cam source sequence works a treat AND offers an audio offset BUT that does not appear to work when syncing via audio (I understand why you might think we wouldn't need it but...)
Unlesss I'm missing something?I have the same problem. Syncing video via audio in multicam works perfectly on my 3 cam shoot but audio offset does not work. Had to do that on the sequence timeline afterwards.

Front panel audio jack is not working on K9N Neo V2
My front panel audio jack is not working on K9N Neo V2. I check the JAUD1 cable and it appears to be connected to the front panel audio jack. My soundcard driver cannot detect any gadgets when I plug it in the front panel. My audio drivers and BIOS are up to date. Is there any known solution to this? My computer is only a few months old and I have not tried the front audio jack until recently. I'm on Vista home premium btw.
Also, I've got another problem, my processor is AMD 64x2 4400+ overclocked to 2.63Ghz. I've been using that clock value ever since I built this computer and stress tested the processor and found that it would not cause any problems like hanging or overheating. However, I recently decided the need for AMD's Cool & Quiet technology and enabled it. It caused BSODs every few days or per week that didn't happen before. I tried it with the default clock value and it still causes BSODs. Can someone help me?Quote
Thanks. Its ironic that disabling it actually enables it.
It has to day with the front panel audio wiring of your case. How many wires are there that can be connected to the board's pin header?

Sound quality isn't very good
Can you be more descriptive? Is the quality better if you plug the headphone into one of the jack at the back panel? (Also, make sure you tell the Realtek HD Audio Manager, that a headphone is connected (and not regular speakers). -
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!

It's just not working and i am ******....
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. How you feel about this is of no help and less interest. -
My Internal Microphone Array (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) is not working
Hi,
My Internal Microphone Array (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) is not working.
I cannot do Skype calls.
I have already tried everything but still I'm not able to fix the problem.
Could you please advice me what to do?
Could you please provide me with a link with the drivers I may need to reinstall.
My computer is HP, Windos 8.1, 64-bit operating system, Intel i-7 processor.
I would really appreciate your quick answer to resolve this issue.
Many thanks,
Antonio
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hey,
Try installing this driver: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
If that fails, try using the HP Recovery Manager to roll back to the factory installed driver.
Test after both. Let me know if either option worked.
