Dv6 1244tx - Audio tinny with Windows 7

Hi guys,
I've recently upgraded my dv6-1244tx to Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit). Ever since doing so, the audio quality has changed, it now sounds tinny with no bass at all, like the audio is going through a high pass filter or something. This happens in all applications.
I've installed the latest audio drivers (or what windows thinks are the latest anyways) and CODECS from the official hp site, to no avail. Fwiw, the mute button on the top panel is now permanently red/orange, when it used to change white for unmute, red for mute...
A brief google showed a few other users encountering similar problems, but with no real fixed solution - so just wanted to know if any other hp owners have encountered this, or if anyone has any ideas about what I can try. 
Thanks [fingers crossed]

OK, as an update to this, I've just tried rolling back the IDT High Def Audio Codec to the previously installed driver, which had the same tinny (no bass) audio quality.
Then tried Updating that Codec back to the latest, and now Media player doesn't play anything - shows an error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device."
So, in order to test whether Windows can generate ANY sound at all, I go to : Control Panel >  Change System sounds , where I get a message saying something like "enhancements may be affecting the performance of your device, would you like to disable enhancements?", I click OK, and problem is solved - Audio is back with full bass, nice and crisp and clear.
It seems some enhancements may have been enabled in the driver's/codec's default settings? I'm unsure of the initial problem, but am ecstatic it's fixed.
Hope this post helps others who encounter similar problems! (if you can make sense of my ramblings!)
Cheers,
R.

  • FMLE 3.2 and 3.1 can't detect an audio device with Windows 8.1

    FMLE 3.2 and 3.1 can't detect an audio device with Windows 8.1 x64 on an MSI GT72-2QD laptop. I tried 2 different webcams but the result was the same. Both the internal mic and the ones going with the webcams work fine with other software but when I try FMLE it looks as follows:
    It says that there's no audio device connected (although the mics work fine elsewhere), the dropout is blank and the audio parameters are grayed out and inactive even with the "audio" box checked. Both versions of FMLE work fine with the same cams on a desktop which has all the same tech specs but uses Win 7 x64. Running FMLE in Win7 compatibility mode or reinstalling with register cleaning doesn't help. What can be done about it?

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the advice. It succeeded.
    The steps I made was to make a disk copy of my original Windows XP disk using Disk Utilty. Then I renamed the disk copy into .iso. I copied the ISO file to my usb flash drive.
    Than I started Parallels 7, created a new VM, selected the correct drive to install from (the usb flash drive) and volia, it worked.
    Finally...

  • RDP audio issues with Windows Server 2008

    I have a server with an M-Audio 1010LT audio card installed, running audio playback software.  This software needs to stay running and playing at all times.
    We were previously running Windows Server 2003 and when we RDPed into the box for maintenance, we simply made sure that 'Leave at remote computer" was selected under Remote Desktop's sound settings.  This allowed us to control the console of the server while the audio continued to play through the server's audio card.
    Now, with Windows Server 2008, even with this option selected when we remote into this server all audio stops and Windows shows no available audio devices.  If I end my RDP session and phyically go to the server, I see the audio devices and am able to re-start the audio playback.
    Is this a bug, or something that has changed in 2008?  Any workarounds?
    Thanks

  • Audio issue with windows 10

    Take a look at this: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/windows-10-how-fix-sound-issues-after-upgrade-1513693
    I think you should uninstall the driver and right click the device in device manager and select to automatically install the driver. Reboot after uninstalling the existing one.

    I have upgraded my old laptop to windows 10 to test it out i have come across an issue where when i have my headphones in the audio does not work but when i have them out works fine. (pretty sure i am not the only one with this issue)
    ( Dell Insprion N5030, 4gb ram, Intel Pentium, 500gb HDD ) The specs are fine for windows 10
    My headphones does not seem to appear in playback settings.
    I have tried Updating audio driver says already at latest version reinstalled audio driverrebooted the audio services thru services.msc
    Any ideas on fixing this issue don't want to put this update on my main and have no audio.

  • Using external Audio interfaces with Windows XP on an iMac

    Does anybody know how to set the audio device used by this operating system running on an iMac to something other than Realtek HD? I have an Edirol Fa-101 audio interface that runs on my PC, and runs on my iMac perfectly.
    I have installed the drivers onto Windows XP Pro runing on my iMac using Boot Camp, but I am unable to set the input and output audio devices in the "Sounds and Audio Devices" panel to anything other than realtek HD. Anyone got any ideas?

    *"I have installed the drivers onto Windows XP Pro runing on my iMac using Boot Camp,"*
    You should probably then post your question in the Boot Camp discussions:

  • Getting Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder work with Windows 8.1 on a GT72-2QD

    Has anyone ever used Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.1 or 3.2 to stream live under Windows 8.1?  I can't get it detect an audio device with Windows 8.1 x64 on an MSI GT72-2QD laptop. I tried 2 different webcams but the result was the same. Both the internal mic and the ones going with the webcams work fine with other software but when I try FMLE it looks as follows:

Both versions of FMLE work fine with the same cams on a desktop which has all the same tech specs but uses Win 7 x64. Running FMLE in Win7 compatibility mode or reinstalling with register cleaning doesn't help. I believe FMLE is getting in conflict either with the Windows 8.1 or with some of the preinstalled software (I haven't installed any programs yet other than the ones that came preinstalled with the laptop and uninstalled the Gamecaster prior to installing Adobe Encoder). What can be done about it other than downgrading to Win7?

  • Is ichat compatible with windows?

    I was trying to have an audio conversation with someone using ichat....i was using my mac and they a windows machine. I know they have a mic and all that they need to do an audio chat...but for some reason, the "phone" icon in ichat did not appear on my buddy list for that person....so all i could do was have a normal chat by typing. Can apple computers not have audio chats with windows using ichat?

    You can't have an audio-only chat between someone using iChat on the Mac and AIM on the PC; your options are text and video. There is a PC client called Trillian which supports audio-only chats with people using iChat.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    First, uninstall Skype and when this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver Here.
    When the installation has finished, restart the notebook again.
    Let windows fully load, then download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.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 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, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.
    Let Windows fully load, then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Reinstall Skype and see if the Mic now works Ok.

  • No tuner hardware detectet- HP Pavilion dv6-1244tx with Integrated TV Tuner

    i bought HP Pavilion dv6-1244tx with Integrated TV Tuner.
    When i go to Windows Media Center->TV+Movies->set up tv receive the folowing message:
    "The TV signal cannot be configured because no tuner hardware was detected..."
    Same think with HP Media Smart-when clicking on the tv icon the message is: " No TV Tuner Device.
    No TV Tuner card detected. Please check your TV tuner card or add one to use this program."
    My questions are:
    1.Sinnce the model HP Pavilion dv6-1244tx comes with Integrated TV Tuner Is it normal to receive the above messages when trying to set up tv?
    2. Do i need to install additional drivers or to buy additional hardware to be abble to to set up tv?

    the message no tuner detected is a problem with windows media center.  If you try other software you will see that the tuner is working!
    I am currently on with Microsoft tech support level 2 ?   they are now on their second day trying to fix my computer
    my computer is a pavillion m8187c and after 6 months of supurb service the "no tuner" message appeared.   I have done everthing suggested on the HP help site but to no avail.   downloaded drivers for the tuner card from everywhere including toe original drivers from drive D.   I also went to services and restarted the services which are windows media center.   I then saw that windows 7 has more controls available to the user in wmc.  so I upgraded to windows 7 which gave more drivers and software.  BUT WMC still indicated no tuner.  So then I went out and bought a new tuner, no it didn't work either
    Over the last two days I have watched the Microsoft technician retry everything that I had tried and it is still not working.
    we may try to use the more extream upgrade.  I just upgraded my system with windows 7, so we may have to do the install where the Drive C is formated and the clean operating system is installed.  who knows the technician from microsoft is still researching
    by the way HP stopped any support when I upgraded to Windows 7 because I did not buy the upgrade from them, I got it at wallmart
    so if you want it to work call microsoft support at 800-642-7676  plan on spending some time

  • No Audio problem with HP Pavilion dv6

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC running on Windows 7 Home Premium. It is a 64-bit Operationg System.
    Recently I noticed I lost audio from my speakers and I have no idea what has caused it. I tried testing the speakers and I recieved a message reading "Failed to play test tone". Strangely, my computer still plays Windows Sounds such as "asterisk" and "exit windows".  I attempted to watch a video on the HP website and I could hear audio from the video as well. The same thing applies to when I watch videos on other websites such as Youtube. I cannot hear audio from music/video files I run using programs I have and video games.
    This is very frustrating. Please, someone help me.

    Hi,
    Can you post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of your dv6 series notebook - see Here for a guide on locating this information.

  • My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

    My MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, only audio on the headset, and speaker mute. With Windows, the audio works in speaker and headphone jack. What is the problem? What's the solution?

    There is probably a red light on inside your headphone port, indicating that the analog/digital switch in there is stuck in the digital position. Insert a headphone plug and wigle it around, especially in the horizontal plane, as you insert and remove it several times. This will usually unstick the switch and restore normal operation. If it doesn't, the machine will need to be repaired.
    This has been a fairly common problem, but in most cases it is easily cured as described above.
