You can try one of the following (start at 1 first):
1. Run in an elevated commnad prompt without the quotation "sfc /scannow & dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth"
2. Restore to a date where you can remember that the dolby audio sound is working.
3. Use OKR to restore everything to factory default. Note you need to backup all your personal files before doing this and might need to reinstall all third party programs after the restoration.

  • New Hard drive not working - please help!!!

    This is an original thread that I'd started:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2066043&tstart=0
    Since that, I tried the following this morning.
    I took out the old 100GB drive and fitted the new 500GB (blank) drive. My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have. What actually happened was the following:
    I put in my Mac OSX install disc 1. I opened disc utility from the top toolbar. In disc utility the new drive showed up and I formatted (erase option) it to mac OS Extended (journalled). I then began a fresh install of OSX. As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued. All was going well and it prompted for the second install disc. It got some way through that and then got stuck at 38% installing garage band loops. The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
    I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
    But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
    Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
    Your help is very much appreciated

    Hi VS,
    What "reading device" are you using?
    As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
    It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.

    How long was it "stuck?"

    It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

  • Front audio port not working please help..

    Hey guys,
    My HP Pavilion DV2275ea front audio jack does not work, I have tried many different headsets as the mic jack works just fine. I have tried reinstalling audio drivers (Conexant High-Definition Audio Chip) and still nothing. I have look at the support advice posted to no avail. Is there anything else i could try?
    A friend said it could be turned off in the bios but i am not able to get in as i don't know the password for the phoenix bios, could this be true?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Well from looking at a jpeg of your board the front usb headers are laid out just like my board. Each set of headers support 2 usb ports each. That gives you the 4 in the rear and 4 for the front.
    Now as to the pinouts, 1+3+5+7+9 is 1 set and 2+4+6+8+10  is the 2nd set, with pins 1 and 2 being the 5V power pins. Pins 7 and 8 are your grounds.  3 and 4 are the usbo- and usb1-. Pins 5 and 6 are usbo+ and usb1+. Pin 9 is the "key" pin and may actually be missing by intention. Key 10 is sometimes called the usboc pin and normally isn't used. On some boards you don't want anything connected to pin 10, even if you have to snip the wire going to it and terminate the end of the wire with insulating tape.
    Your motherboard manual should show you the pin layout.

    Hello,

  • I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

    If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.

    I would imagine your iPhone was hacked to make it work on your local carrier.
    Updating the iOs to 5.xx will lock it back to the original carrier .The carrier holding the lock are the only
    entity able to authorise the unlock .You will have to contact them and see if they unlock and the terms the apply
