Brightness & light colored font-bad sound on HP Pavilion All-in-One, 20-b013w

I help correct learners of English, and when I record the sound on playback is horrible. I purchased a new mic, but the problem still exist. Seems like a lot of noise in the background. A big problem I have with the monitor is the brightness and light color of font. It is so light that it is very hard to read. For instance on this page, the blue lettering is hard to read with the screen being so white. I have a HP Pavilion 20 All-in-One, 20-b013w, and have the Windows 8 on the computer.
How can I improve the sound when I record using a microphone, and is it possible to darken the font and maybe change the contrast? I am not a computer expert by any means, so if someone can help me I would be very thankful.

Hello leatherneckco. I understand you're having some trouble with your microphone and your screen's brightness.
What program are you using to record your audio? Have you tried recording in another application?
A good first step is to uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Try the following.
From either the Metro or Desktop view press the Windows+X key combination. This opens the Context Menu.
Select Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your sound card and select Uninstall.
After the uninstallation has completed you should reboot your notebook.
Once Windows loads it will reinstall the device.
Verify whether the issue persists and post the result.
You can adjust your brightness by following these directions or using the monitor's physical buttons. This document can show you how to change the settings related to your computer's fonts.
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. Have a good day.

Refilled color cartridge can't conform to F2120 all-in-one

In a nutshell, I got my colored ink jet cartridge refilled and it doesn't seem to conform to my HP F2120 all-in-one printer.
A more detailed description:
*When I attach the printer cable to my computer, an orange light flashes beside of the image on the printer of an ink drop (just above where it says "Resume").
*Also, a box pops us saying that it sensed a new cartridge and basically requests the cartridge to be aligned. It's never happened this way before. A refilled cartridge always worked right away for me. If I put in a brand new cartridge, then automatically an alignment page would be printed out.
*Well, it asked for me to print an alignment page or "continue" if I already had a page; I select the first option and no page would be printed out. So I try again and I select the other option of "continue", then it asked to scan the alignment page and once scanned, I clicked "done".
*I try to print out a document and it won't happen. Sometimes when I attach the printer cable to the printer cable, I notice a box saying that there is a problem with this colored cartridge so "please refer to printer documentation" which doesn't provide any help in this situation.
*SO, has anybody experienced this problem before? Is it possible my old alignment pages don't work and that there is a way to print out a new alignment page? Any other troubleshooting idea or fix that could work? OR do I get a brand new cartridge?

Hi shinygray
It's possible that the refilled ink has affected the reliability of the cartridge. You could try cleaning the cartridge as described here . Did that solve it?
FYI, more info in the links below

Light colored font on a dark background?

I am working with a photo/layers. My frame is a dark red and I want to put a cream font onto this. I can see my text box, but the actual writing doesn't show up. I've tried to switch the layers around and it still won't show the writing.
Thanks so much for your help!

"To create the frame I used the cropping tool, made the box larger than my pict. then applied the crop. This made my red frame."
I am not sure how you made the frame that way. When you made your crop selection, you should have gotten a red frame, showing the crop area. When you applied the crop, this red box should have gone away.
It sounds like your "frame" is the crop box, but I don't think you can do anything else (add text in your case) unless you confirm the crop (which you did).
Could you try this-Open your picture, use the Move Tool and slide one of the other text layers down to the "frame" area and see what the results are. If the same you have now, it seems the frame would be the problem. You can then close the file without saving any changes.

How do you change the Default Font setting for a HP 6310 all-in-one?

I've had this printer for a couple of years and has worked great, but just recently, the main body of text is shadowed, like a shadow font. If i print from MS word and select my font it prints great, but the default font for printing emails and anything off of the web has this shadow

It has no style so seems to be beyond the user's control.
I've tried changing it to something else and redefining the Free Form style, but it doesn't apply when you create a new comment.
The closest you'll get to what you want is to have a Style that you like and apply it to every comment when you open it, using an FKey shortcut.

Bright Pixel on Light Colored Backgrounds

Hi fellow Mac Friends,
I have a quick question for you all that has been bugging me for over a month. I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and it came with a beautiful LCD screen with no issues. A few weeks after I bought it, it developed the awful whine that everyone was talking about. I took it to the Apple Store and they fixed it within a couple of days.
Great!
However when I got it back, a week later I noticed that now something was wrong with one of my pixels. The pixel is not stuck (Red/Green/Blue) nor is it dead (black or off) as far as I know. The pixel is bright but not all of the time. It is only abnormally bright on light colored surfaces and its brightest against white. Now as you know, most web pages have nice white backgrounds so this is painfully annoying. Emotionaly its hard to swallow after I just dropped so much money but the the impefection is painfully clear.
Despite my feelings on the subject, I was hoping someone else might provide some information on this. Is this a "dead" pixel? Or a "stuck" pixel? Or is this something fixable. I have tried all of the stuck pixel programs out there but I don't believe this is a dead or stuck pixel.
I have heard the term "hot" pixel but then I would assume that this pixel would burn white in all situations including dark backgrounds.
If there is any information out there that someone might know on this subject, I would greatly appreciate it!
Yours Truly,
Rilely

Right, that particular pixel would not be able to render all the colors. With dark backgrounds, the pixels are shuttered and not passing light. So even the sub-pixel where the color filter material has chipped off will not be illuminated and showing brightly. It will only be for certain colors and white where the brighter-than-bright pixel will show. You should be able to use a test program and determine which sub-pixel, R, G or B, has the missing color. Just put up successively an all red, all green and all blue screen. One of those screens should have a white pixel. If, for instance, the red screen has the white pixel, then it is the red sub-pixel that is missing it's color filter layer for that particular pixel. Here is a link to my favorite freeware program that can provide the required test patterns:

HT4528 I can't see the new light blue font on many of the displays. Is there a way to change this color?

No you can change your wallpaper to make the font stand out more on your homepages and folders or you can adjustr the font size, bold and contrast here:

NOTE: Turning Bold text on will force your phone to reboot.

White bright spot on screen when displaying white or light colors

When my droid X screen is displaying all white or light colors their is a bright white sport about a inch up from the bottom of the screen in the middle. It does not appear when the colors are dark. Does anyone else this problem?

There are a couple of different issues that can cause this. One being "Stuck" pixels, another being pressure from the battery compartment.
Check to see if your battery door feels like it's binding or applying pressure when you slide it on and off. If it is your battery is either not stock, or it has warped due to overheating.
As for pixels stuck, run this youtube video on your screen for a few minutes:

HT1351 I bought a few songs and I have my ipod set up to manually sync. When I am trying to sync the songs they appear on my ipod in a lighter gray font color than the other songs and an error msg appers saying they cant be synced and to ask support.

When i bought songs and tried to manually upload them onto my ipod they appeared on my ipod in a lighter gray font than my other songs and an error message appeared saying to see apple support. i cannot delete the lighter gray songs from my ipod list or play them on my ipod, only itunes.

You got the new iphone????? I have same problem. I transferred audiobooks to device to find no audiobooks on device (despite it being in iTunes as if it was). Have you found a solution????? I even tried to change import settings on format transfer but hasn't worked.

Book printed to bright/light

Hi,
when I got my first Aperture book, I was shocked by the bad quality: all images where printed too bright/light. I returned the book to Apple together with some JPEG exports (to iPhoto support) and they agree with me and will refund my money.
iPhoto support also suggested to try again but I'm afraid the same will happen again. The album was compiled and uploaded with 1.1.0 and I'm on 1.1.1 now.
Does anyone have a similar quality issue and when you submitted it again, was it better?
Does anyone know an alternative good (JPEG based) album print service which will deliver pro-quality?
rgrds rgr

Just did my first Aperture book and yes the printing is definitely lighter than the screen images appear.
My guess is that it would be wise to create a display profile that matches the assumedly calibrated printed output so that I can achieve a closer match in future.
Colors all seemed about right. Cover image is peeling up right off the bat.

I would like to simulate a bright light point moving over one line...

I would like to know, how can I produce the animation moving one bright light point ( like a moving star ) from one point to another
point, I have already the stage for that, what I would like to know is what would be the recommended RGB, blur effect to
simulate that. I found some RGB color combination, but I would like to know if could be better than that :
RGB for Platinum color : ( 229, 228, 226 )

Sharp bright light at the centre

Sharp bright light appears on my Lacie 17" CRT display intermittently which disppears and returns to normal after power off for some few minutes. The monitor is attached to my G4 machine with OS 9.2.2 and OS X 10.2.8 on it.
Thanks for the help

Hi Madori,
It sound as though you may have a heating issue.
The most common cause of this is a build-up of dust inside the computer and the monitor.
Try getting the dust out of your system, and see if that works.
Cheers!

Bright light transition

i am looking for a transition similar to a dip to white color transition. i would like this to look a little different. it's hard to describe what i'm trying to find.
i would like for the video clip to dissolve to a bright light with the next clip to follow.
but i do not want the dip to color transition. does anyone know what i'm talking about.
they use it in movies alot when people come out of a "dream sequence" or something similar to that. thanks.

similarly you can use the 3 way color corector to keyframe blowing out the highlights ... in combnation with subtle use of the light rays filter and you might come up with a new look
if you do, be sure to post an example of how it turned out, with a quick how to guide for all the others to come who will want to recreate it
good luck

Bright light appearing while unlocking.

Bright light appearing on top left or right portion of the screen while unlocking as shown in the picture.
Any idea on why this happening?
Thanks in Advance..

Hey there Vishesh Narang,
It sounds like you are getting a flash of light in the upper left corner of your screen when you unlock the phone using Touch ID. I would start by quitting all the open apps first:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article to delete the current iOS installation, and install a fresh copy
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

HT201365 Can I turn off this update. I can't see the new lighter colors.

Can I uninstall this new update? I cannot see the new lighter colors.

Hi Hazel,
From what I have read here it is not possible to downgrade - I wish it was!!!
Some replies say that people should have researched what iOS7 would look like before upgrading but to be honest I just did not believe that it could be as bad as it turned out to be.
I have sent feedback to Apple here and would encourage you to do the same - they need to know how difficult it is now the visual contrasts are so poor:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If you go to Settings -> General -> "Accessibility" it helps a little to do this:
Larger type: ON
Bold text: ON
Increase Contrast: ON
I found that the "Invert Colors" option did not help as it made many controls even more difficult to see!
I have never had to use the Accessibility settings before - the design of iOS7 is a wonderful if unwelcome illustration of the Social Model of Disability in action! Apple used to excel at accessible design. The difference between iOS7 and all previous versions illustrates perfectly that bad design is disabling!
