DV7 6c90el Sound / Headphones issues

Hello , a few months have passed since i bought this dv7-6c90el (WIN7) and i had a ton of Audio and Video issues which i think i have "fixed for the most". Anyways my main problem now is that i just purchased a new pair of Sony MDR XB200 Headphones and the sound is REALLY low , it is way higher when they're not plugged in. I also tried with another pair of headphones but same problem.
Also in the playback settings i am not able to set headphones as standard PLAYBACK device , it just shows standard communication device or "Ready".
I hope somebody will reply here and help me.
Cheers.

Hello Nazee,
Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.
Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.
Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows.
Please let me know if this helps raise the volume of your notebook.
Good luck!

Dv7-1270us Sound driver issues

I just purchased my Dv7 1270 and I upgraded to Vista Ultimate.
There are no drivers on the sight for the 1270, so I found the IDT drivers from another to try them as well.
The problem is, there is 3 speakers on this laptop, and only the top 2 are working, nothing is detecting them.
What is wrong?
This question was solved.

I managed to get mine working using the DV5-100us Drivers. The insides are virtually indentical to our laptop. The 3rd speaker on the bottom is kinda boring and blah, you never notice it when its working.
Only issue i have left to fix now is the mute key. I see they put up some new drivers on the sight, but none are sound drivers.
Go get hooked up with the DV5-100us drivers and you'll be good to go.

Dv7-1264nr sound driver issue for using directtc2pc

I just installed directtv2pc and am unable to use it to view video on demand dowloads on the dvr. The error message I receive says the video's audio is protected content and to please update my sound driver. Researching the direct tv forums shows that I need a sound driver that is hdcp compliant. However the latest driver available on the download list for this model is the one that is currently installed on this pc. Does anyone have any idea on an optional driver I can use?

Just got off the online support line with HP. They have resolved my issue. I had to disable the docking audio driver. Here is the info:
TECH : Larry, right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback.
TECH : It will open the sound properties window.
TECH : Let me know when you are in the sound properties window.
CLIENT : done
TECH : Under the playback devices may I know which devices are listed.
CLIENT : Speakers and Dual Headphones=IDT High Definition Audio CODEC (Default) 2. Independent Dual Headphones (not plugged in) 3. SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock) IDT High Def (ready).
TECH : Right click on 'SPDIF (Digital Out via HP Dock) IDT High Def (ready)' and disable it.
Disabling this digital audio in the (audio playback devices) resolved my issue. Hope this helps others...

Problem on HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with Windows 8 Pro x64 on Video Card

good evening,
I just finished installing Windows 8 x64 from Win7 Pro, I was able to find all drivers for my notebook, but I have problems with the video card settings.
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7-6c90el with two video cards, one run by the processor because it seems to me to be a part, and the other normally installed on the PC.
The cards are read by Windows as:
device 1: Intel HD Graphics 3000
device 2: AMD Radeon HD 6700m Series (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.20)
the problem resides in the fact that the device should be only one support per second, or deactivated, as it will not. The video card AMD should be set to 1, and the intel 2. Only if I go to the "Device Manager" to disable the intel card, Windows works as if it were not present any video card, also installed driver is not correct because the card is an AMD Radeon HD7690M XT, the problem is that even if I uninstall this driver then always comes back. I also tried to download AMD Catalyst in the latest version, but can not find the card. It 's like the Windows is imposed only use the device 1, which, however, I can not disable the BIOS, because there is no voice. I note that under Windows 7 had no problem.
I ask you to help me because I need the performance of the video card for my work.
This question was solved.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
2. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

HP Notebook - Headphone Issues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZiw-Qo59eA
I made a short video about what's been happening to my HP computer. If any further information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask. I would love to get this problem fixed before I have to send my computer in for 3 weeks.
Specs
HP dv7 Notebook
i7 quad-core processor
8GB RAM

most of the time, the headphone issue arises when bios are outdated. I also had a similar problem.I got it solved by updating the bios and latest audio codecs from compaq site. Go to your notebook manufacturers site and get the latest bios and codecs for your NOTEBOOK model(improtant).I am quite sure that will fix the problem.

Type at least two letters to find a community Why are some locatiols and THE SOUND headphones DO YOU KNOW NOTHING;

Good afternoon. When I HTES upgrades TIN has been lowered to 5.1 calls and THE SOUND headphones DO YOU KNOW NOTHING;

Perhaps it is a translation issue, but your post makes no sense.

To everyone with IOS6 Sound related issues & Others

If you are facing a problem of not having any system sounds, notification sounds, no calls or other software sound related issues I'd suggest you read below it's a stupidly simple fix and it should solve most software issues after an immediate iOS6 update:
After updating unplug the phone from your computer and leave the phone alone for 5-10 minutes, if you still have problems: reboot, wait a few minutes and all sound related problems should be fixed.
When I updated to iOS 6 I had lost my system sounds, so I unplugged from the computer, rebooted the phone and still no go. I decided to just let the system "settle in" for a bit, let it lock and when I unlocked after 5-10 minutes sounds were back and everythings up and running again.

Well, to break it down. After my sounds finally came back (2nd time losing them) last night I decided to restore the phone in itunes. I did it twice. First time I backed up my data. Second time I restored it as a factory iPhone. Both times guess what NO SOUNDS! I also realized that last night I had lost my sounds after charging my phone and unplugging it from the data cord. I still have ringtones (when someone calls), but text messages, emails, and any other alert tones do not work. I cannot turn the volume up or down with the side buttons and also music does not play. It doesn't even have a slide bar at the bottom.
I am on the phone with apple care now. They seem to not be aware of the problem at all.
While I was on the phone with them my sounds ended up coming back, imagine that. Hopefully every time I charge my phone I am not going to have this issue.

Has Apple addressed poor sound quality issues with new 160GB iPod classic?

I just bought a new 160GB iPod classic, replacing a perfectly good 80GB iPod Video (5.5), thinking that the newer one would be superior to my 3 year old model. I discovered that the sound of the new unit was flat and muddy compared to the older model. I found that the 5th gen iPod video was more "spacial", if that's an appropriate word to use; the bass was more present and more clearly defined, as was the rest of the sonic spectrum. I searched several forums to research this issue and while there were numerous references to this issue, all of the posts I found referred to the original iPod classics (80GB and 160GB) and not the later 120GB classics nor the new 160GB classics like the one I bought. Has Apple done anything to address this issue since the first classics were released or are the new ones still suffering from the same sound quality issues as the original classics?

Based on your observations here, they apparently have not changed the sound quality since the original 160GB classic. I noticed a clear narrowing of the sound stage (ambiance) between the 5.5G 80Gb and my 6G 160GB. You're describing the same characteristic. I don't own the newest 160GB version and came here today to see if it might have improved the sound quality back to the 5.5 spaciousness. Note that the 5.5G has a higher signal to noise ratio than the 6G, making it difficult for me to enjoy it through efficient balanced armature in ear monitors like the Shure SE530s or Ulimate Ears Triple.Fi 10s.

Sound input issues. Not related to Soundflower or Balance issues

So. With the sound flower issues fixed. And my balance knobs in place for my stereo speakers. I have opened up a new song I have been writing. Again the AVIGrandpiano app was the track I was recording on. Like my previous post from last week the input on the new music was very faint and not at all matching the input of the previous recorded music. (See Screenshot on earlier posts)
I am at a loss as to where to begin to fix this.

Surround Sound Headphones?

Has anyone here tried surround sound headphones with the SPDIF output on an nForce mobo? If so, how do they work with games?

I'd have to say the general answer to your question is no.
Setting the panel to headphones is supposed to cause Windows to do something to the output of the sound. I can't perceive any difference when I shift the setting about. I've begun to wonder if the setting is only applicable to analog sound cards.
Furthermore an external DSP is required to use S/PDIF. At minimum you need a DAC to convert the digital signal back into analog. You also have to remember that any DD sound output from the S/PDIF must be decoded before it goes to the DAC. Since it appears that the nForce encodes any sound that passes through it, this too would make a DSP required.
I should have been a bit clearer on the external DSP. I realize a DD decoder is necessary when using the SPDIF output, but a DSP for additional HRTF would not necessarily be needed (if I'm understanding this correctly).
Quote
The adjustment of these settings along side Pro Logic tend to create the necessary HRTF output through headphones. That's for DD content any ways. 3D Sound API's acheive their goal by processing before output through the S/PDIF or analog outs.
But is the 3D Sound API's sound processing "preserved" when encoded to Dolby Digital? In other words, does the EAX and/or A3D positional infomation remain after it is encoded to DD?
Quote
One person who recently listened to a DVD-A song on my rig said the following afterwards, "Wow, the sound felt like it was in the back of my head."
Which I suppose is the result you're looking for.
Yes, exactly! But for games as well as DVDs?
Good info Ryu! Thanks!!

IPod classic sound quality issues

Hi guys,
I understand probably it's too much early to discuss this topic but anyway I try to ask.
In order to the release of the new model (yesterday's event in USA)of the classic, anybody has any news about the sound quality complaints arised in the previous months?
I mean, anybody knows if the quality sound problems, due to the change of the sound micro-chip, have been solved in the new modelMany thanks in advance for the help.

Excellent question, the answer to which I eagerly await. If the sound quality improves, I might purchase a 120GB, otherwise, there are now alternatives by competitors with 120GB capacity, similar form factors, built in FM radio, subscription music services, and wireless sync of the music library for the same price as Apple's 120GB. They don't have the sound stage issue as the 160GB Classic. There is even a 240GB model being offered by a competitor.
Too bad Apple didn't release a 240GB Ipod classic. Toshiba, Apple's hard drive manufacturer, announced a 240GB 1.8" drive on 9/9, coincident with the Apple Ipod announcements. I have a large and growing library of classical recordings as I explore the classical catalog, as well as many Podcasts. I could really use the space! I've input this request on Apple's Ipod feedback page and suggest that any like minded customers do the same.

X-fi and surround sound headphones

I'm interested in buying the X-Fi XtremeMusic, but I've been told that it's not good with surround sound headphones. I'm using Genius 5.1 headphones. They do have a switch that enables me to only use 2.1 if I want.
Will the X-Fi work with these?

I don't see why not. They would probably need bass redirection enabled with the +15dB subwoofer boost as one way to get correct channel volumes. This very long thread:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=8533
might give you some useful insights.
Did whoever told you they weren't good tell you anything about why or in what way?

HT6030 Sound output issue with Mavericks

There is a sound output issue with Mavericks and Firewire800 Audio devices. I am using a MIO 2882 but now people are having issues with other devices as well. Is this something that will be addressed in an update? If not I will need to downgrade my OS.

maybe the adapter went bad.....fast. try getting one thats made by sony. or apple. i have had bad luck with some cheap products i bought.
or maybe thats the brand you have ad luck with. i remember when i use to get some quantom fireball drives, and they just died on me the next week. im down to two and keeping a good eye on them. especially fujitsu. the only ones i have GREAT LUCK with are Seagate and Western digitals drives.
