Cannot set headphones as default playback

Hi,
I have a Compaq 615 and when i plug my headset into the jack the sound still comes out of my laptops speakers.
I have tried setting the headphones to default playback device but the system won't allow it.
All drivers are upto date and the headphones work fine as a communication device i.e Skype , Ventrillo etc..
OS - Windows 7 home prem
Driver - IDT HIGH DEF AUDIO CODEC
Can anyone help?

Hello!
I had this exact problem. I went into systems management, manage devices. I deleted the IDT sound device codecs and checked the Delete drivers checkbox. After that I restarted, and when it got back up, I had the sound back the way they were before, headphones and speakers.
I think what happened when I did this is that I got the default Windows 7 device, High Definition Sound Device, instead of the IDT.
Hope this helps!

Cannot set Windows 7 default printer in Boot Camp

I discovered today that I cannot set a default printer in Windows 7. I right click, and try to make one of the printers default but there is no check mark. One of the programs that I use says I do not have a printer installed.
I can print to my printers using Word by selecting the printer that I want but cannot select a default in control panel.
If I access Windows programs using a VM Fusion, the program that says there is no printer installed in boot camp, does not give be this message and I can select a printer. BTW, I have never been able to select a "default printer" using VM Fusion.
The only thing unusual is I had to reactivate Windows for no apparent reason last week and I cannot select all of the Themes available in the personalize menu.
It is difficult to pinpoint when the printer issue started because I mainly access my Windows programs through VM Fusion. I am guessing the changes happened when I had to reactivate Windows
I am away from my iMac currently and was wondering if anyone has experienced this and/or have a suggestion.?
Thanks,
Roy

Update.
Apparently this is a Windows Registry issue. Looks as if there is a VM Fusion driver set as default (thinprint??) I cannot delete or modify this registry key. A new profile solves this issue and I will have to copy everything over to the new profile, if I cannot get this registry key issue solved. I will post on a Microsoft board to see if there is a solution.

Cannot set my headphones as default playback device.

I own the Pavillion g6 and ever since I've gotten it, I've had audio driver problems. This is a recent one. I'm not able to set my Communication Headphones as the default device. When I try to do so, It does nothing. Nothing at all. The reason I want to is because I want audio to go through my headphones only, but if I disable speakers and headphones, volume mixer glitches out and says "No audio device is installed" I've also had other problen too, my microphone does not work correctly but the headphones do. This is annoying me so much, please help. I've already tried uninstalling / reinstalling by the way.
Thanks, heroesp

heroesp,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
I do not know the answer to your issue - I am answering because I want you to have something to work on while we await someone who knows what is going on -- hopefully one of our Sound Experts will jump in. Smiling.
Now that you know that reinstalling the drivers is a dead end, you might try a Hard Reset. No panic - this is NOT a reload of the Operating System -- it is just a device reset in case the driver instructions are tangled up in a heap.
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Close all your programs and shut down the computer
Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook model
Boot the computer and log in
Reminder: Hard Reset is just a device Reset. The procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way. It just "clears the cobwebs". Depending on the cause of the problem, this kind of "reset" can fix a variety of computer glitches.
============================================================================
Now, Test everything:
Notebooks - No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)
On that last page of the Sound settings > Communications tab >
Set When Windows detects communications activity
Select Do Nothing
This usually does not have any effect on your kind of issue, but it won't hurt and if there is something odd going on, it can help.
===========================================================================
It might be noted that the reinstall of the Audio device may have had to do with the manner in which the driver was reinstalled. See this Post from our own Expert Provost DavidPK:
David PK - Fix: No audio playback for hp pavilion m7 running Windows 7
Your details, that is the particular driver, would be different. It is the method that is important. You would check your Driver details in your Device Manager and then download the correct driver from your own computer's driver support pages.

tgwright,
Thank you for the additional info. With the print and scan doctor not locating any corrupted software/driver problems its time to look to the operating system itself. Others who have had similar issues with the same error indicate a corrupted registry key causing the problem:
http://goo.gl/t94JG
http://goo.gl/uejgi
Beware these solutions indicate changing registry info (very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing). If you are not comfortable in the registry or have never been there before I would suggest seeking additional support in some fashion (Microsoft/Local IT/PC Repair service/etc).
Best of Luck!

Can I set a default Playback preference for multiple users on same PC?

I am setting up an editing suite for our University which has a "per machine" Creative Cloud licence. It is a PC installation. This machine will be used by a class of students who will log in with their own credentials. I need to set the preferences for Premiere (video output, workspace layout, default drives etc) so that it will be the same for all users logging in since we want a consistent setup for teaching purposes and dont want to have to help each student set up so that it shows correctly on the monitors. Is there a way of saving this setting as the default for every user? In particular, as we have dual monitors, we want to save the preferences - Playback to always appear on the second monitor. This is really important for us - I need an answer before building more suites.
(Adobe won't let me ask them directly, so I have to wait for someone to provide an anwser on the forums... not great customer support in my book)

Firstly...is this editing suite for the purpose of teaching editing or something else?
Next ...what is your experience with PPRo?
You can set up the machine(s) initially exactly how you want them in regards to hardware and screen layouts etc. Thats easy and can be called..'University of Waikato Default Edit Workspace' for example. That is only part of it though.
You can set up and share a common Key Board Short cut Preference File. Same as Export Presets.
There is no way you can "Default" all the USERS stuff for individual unique projects though without creating a massive potential for disaster and confusion.
Each will need to have access to many separate drive locations for their media (audio, graphics, footage) and the knowledge to create, access and locate it.
THey will each need a separate Location for their Projects as well as their media.
If they are editing students...they should be taught how to set up everything for themselves so they have an understanding of the fundamentals and basic s of NLEs

How do I get Independent Headphone to be the default playback device in Beats Audio?

In the Beats Audio control panel (I own a Pavilion dv7-4051nr) the only option listed for Independent Headphone is default communication device. The only time I have been able to enable Independent Headphone for sound playback was through Windows Media Player (Tools>Options>Devices>Speakers>Properties). I thought the audio was superior and played louder compared to using the Speakers and Headphones as playback device for headphone listening. However, the next time I logged on and attempted to play a CD with Independent Headphone there was no sound output despite the fact that the Independent Headphone volume control on the taskbar indicated it was working. When I switched to Speakers and Headphones, sound was delivered to the headphones as normal.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I cannot set FF to the default page

I cannot set the default home page in FF 3.6. When I try I get an error messagge, "GOOGLE ERROR".When I try to set the home page "GOOGLE.CN" appears as opposed to either the GOOGLE home page, or the FF default home page. I un and reinstalled FF to no avail. Is this issue caused by the GOOGLE error? Will it go away on its own if I wait long enough? If I update to a newer FF will this go away? Is there a site where I can see screen shots of the newest version of FF BEFORE I download it and then find I do not like it? I stayed with 3.6 because I do not like version 4. I do not know what the others look like. HELP ME! [email protected]

Cannot set default grid artwork

Hi all,
I right click on an artist and set the default grid to a particular artwork but as soon as I take my mouse away from the artist, the artwork reverts back to the original. So, basically the default is never set.
Some one on this?
Thank you!
EDIT: Cannot set default grid artwork(Thread title changed)

Nope. It is the first image from the first track of the first album that has artwork. As you move your pointer over the icon you will get any other images assoicated with that composer.

Xcelsius Scenario Button cannot set the Default Scenario

Hi,
I am facing a problem with the Scenario Button in Xcelsius the problem is i cannot set the Default Scenario in the Dashboard .
I can save load delete the the scenario but if i have 3 scenario and i want to make one of them as default is does not work.
I think there is some browser setting for this and i have already configured the storage setting for the browser .
Warm Regards,
Mishra Vibhav

Hi Thijs
Thanks for your update, I think this really helps me. And I have one more question.
I have seen a SAP notes regarding the Scenario function, the content is as below.
You use the Local Scenario button to save the final result of a specific simulation (created scenario) and return to it in the future. It only saves the scenario on the local machine where it was created. So you can access the scenario from the same machine, but you cannot transfer scenarios from one computer to another.
As per the note we can't transfer scenarios from one computer to another, my question is: If we publish the dashboard to inforview and save the scenario, the scenario will be saved in the BOE repositary or still on the local PC, and could the scenario be able to share among different users?
Thanks a lot

No HDMI Audio, Failed to Play Test Tone, Can't Change Default Playback Device

Hello, I'm experiencing some real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us (with the i3-330M, no dedicated graphics) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance.
I've created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what worked for them, nothing has worked for me.
The Problem(s):
My main problem is that I cannot get any audio to play from my PC to my HDMI HDTV.
When I plug my HDMI cable into my PC and TV, the TV is recognized in Playback Devices, but nothing can play to it.
When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get a "Failed to play test tone" error.
Additionally, I'd like to mention some other odd behavior that I think may be a part of the main problem.
In Playback Devices, I cannot change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can't set default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes inside device properties. Every time I try to change something, like the default playback device, nothing happens or the changes are immediately reversed.
The Question:
How can I get audio to play over HDMI on my PC (It's not a problem with the TV, my other HP machines play audio over HDMI to it just fine.)?
What I've Tried:
I have tried:
Changing the default playback devices, which I'm unable to do
Running the Windows 7 Audio Playback troubleshooters from within a clean boot state
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel(R) Display Audio driver
Uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Uninstalling the IDT PC Audio program from Programs and Features
Disabling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Nothing has worked.
The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP
How can I get this working? I would really appreciate some assistance.
I'm at the point where I'm ready to try pretty technically-involved suggestions, so, please feel free to post those.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

[Solved?] VLC won't play audio -- cannot set buffer duration

I can't play sound in VLC. I have tried the default and the ALSA outputs. I know ALSA works, because mpg123, speaker-test, and rdesktop's sound all work. (Saying that, I can't tell if mpg123 uses alsa or not - rdesktop does though)
Attempting to play something in VLC gives me some rather cryptic errors. What follows is the output of "vlc -v" and an attempt to play a video with sound. I have split the "code"-tag just before the actual error output for clarity and ease of scanning.

I have no idea where to start with this issue, I've tried googling but it seems that only one person has ever had this issue before (if Google is to be considered a reputable source), and he was running his own VLC build. I am running the build "pacman -S vlc" gave me. If anyone could point me in the right direction on this issue I'd be grateful.
Edit: This is my /etc/asound.conf. I have no idea what any of this means, at this point it's fill-in-the-blanks wiki copypasta (Edit2: The purpose of this file is to try to stop alsa from sending all my sound through a disconnected HDMI instead of the speakers)

Situation update:
1. I didn't need my asound.conf like that -- I should have used pulseaudio in the first place, I was unaware that ALSA does not allow more than one program to use the sound device at the same time, whereas pulseaudio is used to mix sounds.
2. VLC works fine on PulseAudio. No idea why it failed on ALSA!

OK.
Please follow this step.
1. As you said you are in coexistence step , so for now all endpoint already point to Exchange 2010 right?
2. Check legacy owa redirect that you already configure
3. In Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "Autodiscoverinternaluri" by this command set-clientaccessserver -identity "servername" -autodiscoverinternaluri
https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. and don't forget to create autodiscover record in DNS
4. in Exchange 2010 , Make sure that you already configure "EWS" path by this command set-webservicesvertualdirectory -identity "XXX\Default web site name" -internalurl
https://yourinternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx -externalurl https://yourexternalurl/EWS/Exchange.asmx
5. don't forget to replicate freebusy from Exchange 2003 to Excahnge 2010 via public folder.
You error look like client cannot get autodiscover process please check it again.

"Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs" and Tomcat

I have succeeded in downloading/installing the JCE component and writing a small java program that ecrypts and decrypts text.
Now that I've tried to integrate this code into a web application, I'm getting the following exception message:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot locate policy and/or framework files for signer restraint check!
     at javax.crypto.SunJCE_b.<clinit>(DashoA6275)
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.a(DashoA6275)
     at javax.crypto.Cipher.getInstance(DashoA6275)
I've copied the four JAR files into the web-inf/lib directory. I believe that I need to make changes to the appropriate policy file (which I assume is the catalina.policy file under the tomcat/conf folder) but this doesn't seem to make any difference.
Can anybody help??
Cheers,
Ben
PS - I DON'T want to copy the JARs into <java-home>\lib\ext

i've been dealing w/ jdk1.3 and jce
installation, configuration, and exceptions for a day
now. i've recently upgraded to j2sdk1.4.1 and i have
the same problems:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError:
java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for
trusted CAs: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot
locate policy and/or framework files for signer
restraint check!
can you give me a little more detail around your
explanation. in particular, i can get my encryption
code to run as a command line app using the JDK alone.
its once i try to run the code inside of tomcat that i
get this exception.
so far, i've tried putting all the .jars in my
classpath, as well as web-inf/lib, as well as
jre/lib/ext, as well as tomcat_home/common/lib and
nothing works.
could this still be a provider problem as you indicate
and how does that explain the fact that it works with
the JDK alone?Sun's JCE 1.2.2 and their JCE Provider doing a cross checking of the classes and their signatures. In JDK 1.4 that cross validation were removed, but JCE framework still checking the signature of the provider.
You may also need to check which JRE you are using. On windows you have two of them by default: the one within JDK installation and the another one within "Programm Files". The last one is used by default if you didn't specify the path for java command.
I've been using BouncyCastle JCE and their provider for a while. It works just fine in web-inf\lib directory under the JRE 1.3.1. They also have the signed jar for J2SE 1.4 that does not includes JCE framework.
Note that you have to register your provider dynamically if you going to use it in the web application. You also have to make sure that your web app has enough rights for that (check the security properties if you are using security).
BTW, which app container are you using?
