Travel Sound MP3 / Speakers Incompatible XP SP2 Mach

I recently bought a Travel Sound MP3 player; excellent sound for the size and price. As speakers
it works fine connected to my MP3 player. Using a Windows 2000 machine I am able to load music
on it and play songs using it's internal memory. The unit works fine in every respect but one.
On my home PC where my music is with an OS of XP-SP2 upon connection the unit
shows up as a removable disk of size 0. I can not read or write to it. Tried numerous re-installs,
roll backs, USB ports, nothing hel
ps.
I even tried to change the driver's manually but couldn't get around
the wizard. I'm assuming there's a compatibility issue between the FAT on the unit and the
Windows XP SP2 Disk.sys driver. XP thinks the Device is working fine, but just sees the disk
size as zero.
I tried with and without the Creative install; only difference is using creative install directs the unit to
driver disk.sys inside the SP_2 cabs while skipping the creative install finds the same driver inside
WINNT\System32. I don't really know what the info files on the creative disk are for, but they don't
affect at the XP's choice of driver for the unit.
I even tried another USB cable, no help -- it has to be the XP SP2 Driver.
Right now I"m really happy with the speakers, only I won't be able to get much use out of the
internal memory if I have to schlep the music on and off my office machine to load it
I Wonder if I could find the registry key and change that directly to reach inside the SP Uninstall
file set and access the older driver.
Any other ideas? Suggestions?

Travandalex,
With the Sound Blaster USB Go! plugged in, all sound should be handled by the USB device as it should set the default playback device to the Go!. Try doing this:
) Go to Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices and click on the Audio Tab (with the Go! turned on)
2) Make sure that the Go! is selected as the default playback device. Put a checkmark in the "use only default devices" box.
Now the playback should be consistently through either the Audigy or the Go!.

Travel Sound i300 compatibility issues with Compaq Presaio

Hey,
I bought a Travel Sound i300 last Christmas for an iPod. Recently, I upgraded to a Compaq Presario V2000. The speakers for some reason wont work on the computer. I tried a cheaper set of Phillips and they did, but they weren't powered either. That couldn't be the reason because Creative also has powered laptop speakers.
Anyone know the problem?

Hi,
Your PC has a PCI-E version 1.0a slot. Look for an ATI graphics card that is backwards compatible with a legacy BIOS PC with a PCI-E version 1.0a slot.

Connecting Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers to DVD player

Hi,
I have a LG DVD Player (DSI 8352) which gives 5.1 home theatre (dolby decoder) output.
If I buy Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers (5200 or 5700), how do I connect them ? Through RCA Stereo cables ? Would there be any compatibility issues ?
Please suggest the 5.1 speakers that would suit my requirement (no decoder / only amplifier) ..
Plz reply back to [email protected]
Thanks,Sambath

Creative offers many speaker systems that will fit your needs, without decoder.
You mentioned the Inspire 5700 system; this system comes with a decoder/amplifier, and wouldnt actually be what you'r looking for.
If your looking for awesome sound-quality, and good power, I can recommend the 5.1 Megaworks system, though this system can get quite expensive, you'll get what you pay for.
The megaworks (like "all" other creative speaker systems, got a built in amplifier in the subwoofer, where you connect all the speakers.)
To connect the speakers to the DVD-player, you connect the multichannel output on the DVD-player, to the multichannel input on the back of the subwoofer. (three stereo minijack inputs.)
You may need some RCA-to-minijack adapters, so that the multichannel audio cable that comes with the megaworks, will fit on your DVD-players output.

Thank You

Hi @satyakam
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are enjoying your sound from everything today. I am happy to help.
If you have a sound application installed along with your sound driver, then I would check the settings for the speakers and headphone in that application.
Then I would make your headphone the default device when it is plugged in.
To make headphone as the default device
1.    Click on Start; Go to Control Panel.
2.    Click on Sound.
3.    Switch to Recording.
4.    Select your microphone/headset as the default device.
5.    Save the changes by clicking on OK.
Also you can Uninstall and re-install your audio device drivers, to do that:
1.    Click on Start; in the start search type “devmgmt.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
2.    Expand Sound, Video and Game controllers.
3.    Right click on the audio component and then click uninstall.
With the driver uninstalled then download and re-install the driver from:
HP Pavilion g4-1121tx Notebook PC Drivers
Just be sure to select the correct operating system from the drop down, and click next, which will refresh the list of drivers below.
Let me know if that helped at all.

No sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us

no sound from speakers or headphones on my hp pavilion dv6-6c50us. Speakers are not muted and volume is up. May have happened after a system update

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the relevant IDT Audio installer on the links below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
IDT Audio Installer - Windows 8.
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 complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 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 and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

New headset, but certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not headphones.

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Hello,
Hello,
I just recently purchased a new headset for gaming but have been having some issues with it and the system sound. One major issue is when I call someone on skype, the sound from Skype or the call will go through the headphones, but any other audio comes out of the speakers. I have also notices that iTunes also does not function when I am in a call as well. Some examples would be if I were to want to watch a YouTube video while in a call, the sound would come through the speakers and not the headphones. However, I did find a fix for it. All I had to do was disable the main speakers and the audio was transmitted to the headphones. Another example would be if I wanted to run games via Steam (Garry's Mod, TF2, ect.), I wouldn't get any sound whatsoever from the game. Not through my speakers or headphones. With one exception, Garry's Mod volume I can hear through the speakers while in a Skype call, but I want the sound to come through the headphones. But with TF2, I get no sound whatsoever. If you need any more information about my issue, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hello @LayneStaley,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not the headphones, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that your headphones are utilized when plugged into your notebook, I recommend following the steps below:
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's main speakers). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
6. Select the newly enabled speaker device, right-click it, and select "Set as Default Device".
7. Click Apply.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

The problem that I can not find the sound card driver for windows 7 and the windows installed the driver but the sound is not pure although it's higher than the sound when i connect the speakers to my Built in card
I am not satisfied with the sound when i connect the speakers to creative li've card and i can not install the driver for windows 7
I hope to fix this
Thanks

Does this problem only occur in certain programs? Because I have a similar problem with my sound suddenly dropping without warning. But it only happens when I'm playing music in Windows Media Player. If it does have something to do with the media player then I suspect it could be the "WOW effects plugin." I hope this helps, or at least narrows down your problem.

Optical Input on Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E with Logitech z-5

So i plugged in my Optical cord into my new sound card the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E and it worked only in the Front right, Front left, Front centre, and the subwoofer. Now i hear i need a external decoder... but then again that my sound card should decode it as well... the place i bought my card recemended a optical cord for my card?with the?speakers i have?(the?Logitech Z-5500) How much are decoders? What should i do next? Creative seams to have limited support especialy on optical inputs.

I must have answered something like that in another thread sometime ago, but here goes:
A single SPDIF connection, optical or coaxial, will only transfer stereo in analog form; no rear or centre channels!
There are two ways you can get all speakers playing via such a connection:
() Get your speakers to upmix the audio source to play on all fi've of them
(2) Output a Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS signal. These contain the multichannel information encoded in the stereo signal. A suitable decoder (such as the one contained in the Z-5500) will be able to analyze the signal. Unfortunately, this is something you can mostly find in movies.
So, to sum it up, no natural everyday multichannel sound over one SPDIF (e.g. no EAX, directsound3d etc.)

MSI K8N Neo4 SLI motherboard: Creative Onboard Sound

Hello all,
This is my first time on this forum, and I hope you all can help me. I have an MSI K8N Neo 4 SLI board. It comes with Onboard Creative 24bit sound.
Now, lately I have had problems with it. One day, it just stopped working. I thought it was somewhat weird and just reinstalled the drivers. It worked for a while longer and eventually quit again. Well, it was time for a reformat anyway, so I thought a clean installation of drivers would solve the problem. Well, it didn't. Now, I have downloaded the latest drivers from the MSI website, and they allowed the sound to work for one evening, but this morning it is dead again. My computer says that all hardware is working fine. I havn't had a bluescreen, and the music plays in the Windows Media Player, I just can't hear it through the speakers. My speakers do work fine because I have tried many different speakers, and none of them change the dead silence outcome. I hope my onboard sound is not dead! Please reply if you know anything else that I can do...

I didn't want to start a new thread with the same topic, usually get flamed everywhere else for that...
Anway
AMD Athlon XP 64 3500 socket 939
2gb PC3200 Ram (1 x 1gb / 2 x 512mb sticks )
ATI Radeon X800XT PCI Express
3 x 250GB SATA western digital drives
Windows XP Professional with latest service packs etc...
Got the latest motherboard bios from live update,latest creative drivers from their website etc...
**Edit** also worth mentioning my system starts very slowly if I have my onboard sound enabled and doesn't run at what I'd call 'normal' if I turn it off in the bios my system works perfectly.

USB Notebook speakers

I had such a good experience last time when I asked for your help--let's see if you can go 2-0.
I have a T61 ( 7662-CTO ) running Vista Ultimate 32. Since I upgraded to Vista Ultimate and since my company fiddled with my computer, I have had to reinstall some drivers. I have some external notebook speakers that plug into my usb port. They are made by Insignia. (Model: NS-NBSPK). They are basically el cheapo speakers I bought at Best Buy but I like them just fine.
Anyway, they are no longer working with itunes. I went in audio properties and did a "test" and sound comes out of them then. But that is the only time. I was thinking I would update the driver since the driver is dated 2006. But the only drivers I have found on the web I am scared to use because I don't know the source. What do you recommend I do?

No gurus are willings to step up and offer a suggestion to try?

Suddenly no sound from speakers and only from headphones

Hello,
I have a HP 8440p VQ664ET#ABU Elitebook laptop running Windows7 64bit pro.
Since today I'm experiencing the following problem:
1) no sound is heard through speakers when headphones are disconnected.
2) If I connect the headphones, the sounds are heard correctly through them: this is the expected behavior
I don't think it's a speakers hardware problem because I can make the speakers play sounds for one or two seconds like this: while a sound is being played, such as music file for instance, if I move up and down the headset volume cursor (regardless if headphones are connected or not) I can hear the played sound through the laptop speakers for a few seconds, after which the speakers mute again.
So to summarize:
1) Headphones disconnected: no sound from speakers
2) Headphones connected: sound from headphones
I rebooted, suspended and restored without any luck so far.
I'm under the impression that there might be a problem with the headphone jack: it is like the laptop always thinks that the headphones are connected and therefore cuts the output to the speakers.
Any clues?
Thanks
Sergio

Try installing the sound drivers from the following weblink:
