Dv6928us HP Pavillion Entertainment Laptop - Windows 7 Compatibility?

With Windows 7 reaching RTM, I wanted to know whether anyone had seen driver issues that may prevent a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro (32bit) from functioning correctly.
Is anyone here aware of any hardware conflicts, or hardware that would not work correctly?
I plan on backing up everything before I make the attempt of course, but wanted to get a heads up as to issues.
For instance, does Windows 7 include drivers for the WebCam that is part of the system?
The aim of starting fresh is so that I can install only the software I require, without the additional support options provided by HP.
I already have the latest BIOS updates.

That only issues I have heard of are the webcam possibly not working and the QuickLaunch buttons above the keyboard.

  • Loss of Sound HP Pavillion Entertainment Laptop DV6820ea

    Hi,
    Operating System:  Windows Vista
    Sound Driver :         Conextant High Definition Smart Audio 221 (SPDIF INTERFACE)
    Other Programmes: I Tunes
    Problem :     Sudden loss of sound, I have tried the obvious such as is the touch sensitive mute switched off and the volumes switched on . I did briefly have my i-touch connected via USB but don't remember doing anything other than connecting and disconnecting the USB cable. Then there was no sound. I have also tried via control panel testing the devices and the speaker test works correctly but other than this I am unable to get any sound from the laptop. I did find, although I can't remember where, next to a  I-tunes file name  yellow triangles but was unabe to delete. This will probably be a very obvious and simple solution! but I would greatly appreciate any help!    many thanks  

    This often occurs when you plug in an HDMI device, on my machine.  Try manually setting the playback device:
    Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar.
    Select Playback Devices.
    Right-click the audio device you want (i.e. Speakers)
    Select Set as default device.
    If this does not work, try logging in with an account that has administrative access.  I discovered the wireless network can not be enabled by a non-administrative account, when it is disabled while logged in as an administrator.  You have to go back to the admin account, enable wireless, and then log back to the other account.
    Avoid updating your driver, unless the device no longer functions.

  • Where is enhance usb on Hp pavillion entertainment laptop

    I have been trying to locate the enhanced usb port on my HP pavillion lap top.  To charge my GPS faster, but I cant figure out which USB it is, does someone know the answer?  Is there a way to tell by looking?

    Try installing the driver from the following weblink:

  • Intermittent Sound Issues - HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop

    Hi,
    I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop running Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium and have been running into some strange sound issues first.  
    First, on occassion when I start my laptop I will get a "No Audio Output Device Installed" Message, and no sound controllers show up in the device manager.  Strangely, sometimes if I restart the laptop or put it into hibernation and bring it back, the output device will again work.
    Also, when it is working I am experiencing other strange issues.  Often, sound will work only through headphones, and not through the built in Altec Lansing speakers.  Other times, even with the headphones plugged in, I only get sound through the speakers.  And sometimes, no sound through either, even though the computer at this point is showing a working audio device.
    Lastly, when the sound does work through the speakers, it is normally crackling and distorted - it doesn't sound right at all.
    The sound device installed on the computer is Contextant Smart Audio 221 (At least when it chooses to be working...)
    I hope there is a solution to this problem, thank you very much for any support!

    I also have a HP Pavillion laptop, with Windows Vista..  I am having sound issues, but not the same ones..  mine often displays the volume bar on the screen, clicking like I'm turning it up or down.. I can't get it to stop or go away.. I usually have to reboot and most of the time it stops, until the next time I open the laptop.  Also, when it's not doing this, I can't control my volume from the touch pad volume control at the top of my keyboard.  I thought maybe it was just damaged because it seems to have some scratches in that area where the top connects when closed, but I didn't think it made sense that rebooting will stop this, even temporarily.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, however, one driver didn't come back.. it actually seemed to be better at first, but now I have to reboot it almost everytime I open it.  I thought if I didn't leave it in hibernation, just turn it off, while not using it, that would help, it didn't.  I have also tried updating the drivers and they are updated.. If anyone knows what else I can do, please help, it's terribly annoying, plus I have a lot of music on it, I'd like to listen to it sometime.

  • Can I attach multiple external monitors to my Pavillion dv7 laptop?

    I have one monitor connected through the HDMI interface and I would like to have another one attached as well. Can I use the VGA port (or the other flat one -- I do not kjnow what it is called) and have the monitors work in concert?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jerry:
    Theoretically you should be able to connect as many monitors as you have video out ports.
    Since I don't have your model, I can only speculate.
    I know that this is true of desktop PC's (where the onboard video is not disabled by an add on card).
    I believe the other HDMI-looking port is a display port.

  • No audio / No sound following Vista SP2 install on HP DV4 (HP Pavillion Entertainment PC)

    Solution: I struggled with this problem (no audio) for 4 days. After installing Vista SP2, all sound stopped coming from my HP DV4 laptop. (HP Pavillion Entertainment PC).  I checked all settings, unloaded and reloaded SP2, reloaded all sound drivers (IDT) and tried the Microsoft "Fix It"... 50131. Nothing worked. Very frustrating. I happen to notice that the driver being loaded by the MS program was IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver 6.10.6209.0. I started to suspect this most recent driver was either loaded with SP2 or was incompatible with it. I noticed the HP Support web-site had a list of drivers specific to my machine. The sound driver was listed as IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver 6.10.6087.0, which appears to be an older version. I downloaded this driver, applied it, restarted the machine and voila!
    You can find the codec here:

  • Hp Pavillion Entertainment PC Power

    Hello,  I have been holding onto my Hp Pavillion Entertainment PC for several years now. I had hoped I would figure out what to do with it. I bought 4 Hp laptops, the Entertainment was my own then I bought 3 Hp G60-127NR Notebooks for my oldest 3 children. We have had nothing but trouble out of all of them. First, Mine,
       the power started going slowly, the battery just seemed to die quicker and quicker. I had only had it for maybe 5 months when this started.   I contacted help through Hp, they told me to replace the battery, so I did. about 1 month later, my laptop was plugged in, turned on. I left it for about 20 minutes. I walked back into the room just as it powered off. I tried to turn it back on, nothing. I called HP, they said my warranty expired so they could not help me. This was my first computer, ever in my life. I have 6 children so I do not get to buy myself things often.
    So I have been without a computer for the last several years until now, I bought a used HP from a pawn shop. 
    Anyway, one of my childrens teachers told me to contact HP becuase they are really good about taking care of their customers. I told her what happened with my experience and she said try again. So here I am.
         I really did like my HP.  I want to know if HP honors anyone that has purchased as many of their products as I have? My eldest son is having so much trouble with his, it overheats severely and he actually burnt his hand on his computer. My eldest daughter is frustrated because she is in college and her power does not last at all, she has lost many of her assignments because of this and it has affected her grades. She now refuses to even use it.  I am considering buying her another laptop but I am just at a loss. I do not want to invest another dime into any at all.  I have gotten no help from hP whatso ever. This is so discouraging. I cannot afford to buy myself another. Especially since I know have to find a way to purchase 6 more laptops of some sort for all of my children for their scholing.
    Has anyone had any good experiences with HP?  What should I do?

  • Voltage converter for Pavilion dm1-3020us Entertainment Laptop in the UK?

    Will I need a step-down voltage converter to recharge my Pavilion dm1-3020us Entertainment Laptop while in the UK? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If you check the Adapter block, you should find it will accept a voltage input range of 100v - 240v.  If this is the case, then all you will need is a Two pin to Three pin converter for the plug to be able to use UK sockets.

  • Windows 10 Compatibility with HP Envy

    Hi,  I was trying to reserve the free Windows 10 copy, but the Get Windows app have not show up.I asked the microsoft forum about it and they said that my laptop was not compatible, but the answers were vague and it didnt convince me. My laptop have the following characteristics: HP - ENVY 17.3" Refurbished Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 12GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - SilverModel: m7-k111dx    SKU: 1312565768                         Refurbished
    2GB dedicated graphics
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Technical details: 4th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor; 17.3" display; 12GB memory; 1TB hard drive
    Special features: Touch screen; HDMI output My older laptop, by far worst than the new one, managed to get the App and Reserve Win10 options, so thats odd. I've tried to run the following script and did every single attempt pointed at this link: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-win_upgrade/i-want-to-reserve-my-free-copy-of-windows-10-but-i/848b5cce-958b-49ae-a132-a999a883265b Is it true that my HP is not compatible with the Windows 10? If not, how can I reserve it or get the Get Windows 10 App?

    You're very welcome. I doubt that it is incompatible. There was a post from a HP administrator on a part of the forum that is not accessible to all members which stated in substance... Windows 10 Compatibil​ity Tool Alert ‎06-05-2015 12:29 PM  HP has received reports from customers who are seeing cases where the Windows 10 compatibility tool that is part of Microsoft’s Get Windows 10 app is classifying some items as incompatible that, in fact are compatible. We are currently investigating this with Microsoft. Please check back for information.

    use the instructions in this article here to transfer your library to the Mac.
    your iDevices will simply continue syncing (now with the Mac's iTunes library) as if nothing happened.
