Beats audio on windows 8.1

Hello sir,
I'm Charan from Hyderabad.
I recently purchased a HP Pavilion 15-P001TX notebook pc around a month ago..
It came with beats audio.. but, after about 10 days of purchase, i've downloaded and installed "realtek HD audio" from the internet..
Few days back one of my friends advised me to uninstall it as beats gives the highest quality sound.. I did so..
After that i observed that my lap is giving significantly low sound with poor quality.. i then searched for my beats software in my start menu thinking to set volumes up in that..
But i couldn't find it anymore.. Nothing with the word 'beats" in my lap
Please tell me how can i get it back.
thanks in advance!

When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

Problem Disabling Beats Audio w/ Windows 10

Hi - I have problem with Beats Audio Control Panel after upgrade windows 8 .1 to windows 10. I updated the audio drivers which didn't solve the problem.
Product Name: Hp Pavilion dv7-7051swProduct Number: B6G49EA#AKD Driver Versions:IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - 6.10.6491.0
Intel(R) Display Audio Driver - 6.16.0.3154NVIDIA Virtual Audio Driver - 1.2.30.0 I tried also reinstall this driver but it didn't help.
It's propapbly the same issue as here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Problem-Disabling-Beats-Audio-w-Windows-8-1/m-p/3208867#M43609 Thanks for any help.DMaster

Hey, I had the same problem as you and solved it. Product Name: HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
Product Number: J0C48EA#AB9
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit While using Windows 8.1, what I did to disable the Beats Audio Control Panel was to update the driver to the generic High Definition Audio, as this guy shows:
https://goo.gl/0XN7Nl When I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the new OS started using the IDT driver, enabling the Beats Audio Control Panel.
I've tried to do the same under Windows 10 but there was Generic Audio Driver a.k.a. High Definition Audio Driver available. This is what I did:
1. Download, install the High Definition Audio Tool from Microsoft Hardware Dev Center, and restart your PC. This is the generic audio driver that was missing:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/8/D/48D7ED36-832B-41D7-AE0A-04AD7D8CA837/HdauSetup_x64.msi
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/Dn613936(v=VS.85).aspx 2. Open Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers
3. Righ Click Menu over IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and select Update Driver Software
4. Choose Browse my computer for driver software
5. Choose Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
6. Choose High Definition Audio Device
7. Select Yes in the Update Driver Warning 8. The High Definition Audio Codec is installed and the Beats Audio Control Panel disabled Now I can hear all my music again without the awful Beats Audio effects and volume variations that are a nag.
Hope this helps you out. Thank you. hitek81

Pavilion d6 with Beats Audio and Windows 7: the Sound Stops When Headphones are Removed

The sound works fine, then I put in headphones and usually the sound plays fine, though sometimes it stops working after making a repeating sound for a second. When I remove the headphones the sound will not come out of the speakers and if I plus the headphones back in no sound comes out. The only way I can get the sound to work again is to restart my computer.
If I run the sound troubleshooter it doesnt detect a problem. I tried the fix in this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Beats-audio-pavilion-dv6-No-sound/td-p/2169..., but that didn't work. I would really appreciate a solution, thanks a ton!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When done, shut down the notebook by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 20 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers/HP' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Problem Disabling Beats Audio w/ Windows 8.1

Hey guys thanks for having this support form thing, I come on here all the time to get my issues fixed so I don't have to bother you guys on the phone. However, I have one problem I cannot seem to find on the forums.
I have a HP Envy dv6 laptop with Beats Audio that I got last summer, and, unfortunately, I'm not too much of a fan of the Beats mixing. With Windows 8.0, when I go into the Audio Control Panel for Beats Audio, I would go to the Listening Experience tab and uncheck "Beats Audio". The little sliders would go gray and my bass in the Sound Control Panel would be set down to -12 as per usual. I would bring that back up to +4 and still had very nice sound quality. However, I updated to the new Windows 8.1 and noticed my audio didn't sound like it did before. I checked my Sound Control Panel and, finding that was not the problem, checked on my Beats Audio Control Panel to find "Beats Audio" on the LIstening Experience tab was rechecked. So I unchecked it, expecting the tabs to gray out again. They didn't. I played with the still white sliders and found they were still affecting my audio experience, even with "Beats Audio" unchecked.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and even tried using the one found in another forum thread (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Windows-8-1-Beats-audio/td-p/3025971/highli... bottom post from VJ_R) but to no avail. Is there a way this can be fixed?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi JCViscera. Your product has a specific Window 8.1 download available for your IDT driver. Can you try to install this one (if you haven't already) to see if this fixes the issue?

Touchsmart 610 beats audio on Windows 8.1

Hello,
I have an HP TouchSmart 610 PC with Beats Audio. After upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8, the Beats Audio button triggers the logo on the screen, but the sound does not change. Is there an updated driver that is needed?
Thanks,
Wes

Hello WesGipe,
I have read your post on how your Beats Audio button does not change the sound on your computer, and I would be happy to guide you towards a resolution! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer?
Has your computer completed all of its important Windows Updates?
Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
In the meantime, I recommend following this document on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8). This should help determine if there is a hardware issue or not. In addition, I also suggest ensuring your drivers are all up to date by following this document on Download or Update Software and Drivers for HP Computers.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!
Regards

Beats audio and Windows 8

Product Name: HP P6-2133W
Product Number: QW728AA#ABA
My Question is if i choose when Windows 8 (RTM) is Released on October 26th, and i pay for $14.99 Windows 8 Pro 64bit upgrade, if i choose to do a clean install on this HP PC, would i lose my Beats Audio sound on here? Antivirus i plan on using i think built in Windows Defender in WIndows 8 as well.
Just finding out ahead of time so i can plan the apporiate time, and have everything i need to have a successful upgrade to WIndows 8 Pro 64bit

No problem. Also, when did you purchase your PC? If it was on or after Aug 17, you also qualify for a $15 dollar refund from HP after you upgrade to Win8.

KILL Beats Audio in Windows 10

Not sure if I have 32 or 64-bit, but I just upgraded to Windows 10. I don't remember how I was able to kill the awful, horrible Beats Audio junk in Windows 8.1, but I had killed it succesfully before. Now it is back, and sounding horrible. PLEASE help me get rid of it! I have read other forum posts from the past talking about unchecking things, but I cannot see anything to uncheck having anything to do with IDT or whatever they were talking about. I just want to go back to nice, generic, unadulterated audio. HELP!!!

ok so i found the actual software on the control panel. the driver needs to be updated it so i can open with the beats button again. but here is the steps to open manually on windows 8.

2. then click on hardware and sounds
3. beats audio control panel should be the last one on the list
this should work on every windows 8
and you will need the lates IDT Sound driver for you computer for you to get that you will need to go here.

Two questions:
what makes this machine "beats audio"? I just have regular speakers hooked up? (I didn't buy this computer for me.)
Secondly - the original hard drive was replaced due to failure and a temporary drive installed. what is a recommended setup with one regular drive but fast (1Tb is plenty of room).
Thanks.

Beats audio settings

1. Product Name and Number
• HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook PC
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
• Windows 7 64-bit Home Prem
I have the beats audio installed on my machine and recently messed about with the beats audio settings but I forgot what the default settings are.
Is anyone able to provide me with them? I am not talking about the Graphic Equalizer which has the default button but the Beats Audio section.

Hi ManoMatt, sorry to hear that you are having issues with you Beats Audio. Unfortunately no driver is available at this time for the Beats Audio and Windows 8.1. I suggest that you do a System Recovery back to your original operating system. Sorry for the inconvenience on this matter.

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.

H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
