Post the installed operating system version ( and whether it is 32 or 64-bit)
Have you gone to the device manager to see if the sound drivers are loaded and enabled?
Your drivers are located here. Download and install the operating system appropriate version that you have in your notebook.

The Sound Icon is with the mute setting and and clicking on it does not clear the mute, or bring up the volume bar. When calling up the HP Support Assistant it states :
ATI High Definition Audio Device - Enabled - Driver AtiHdmi.sys Version 5.0.7000.4
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - Errorr (52) - stwrt64.sys Version 6.10.6276.0
Also whenn clicking on the sound icon windows says it dectects a problem, but does not offer any solution. I have a HP Pavilion dv6 running Windows 7. Does anybody have any ideas please? Thanks.

The sound has been working fine, not sure when is suddenly stopped, but I have always done the HP updates when they have come up, so whether a file/driver has got corrupted then?
Try this driver. There are also previous versions available at the support page for your notebook . Look in the Driver - Audio section.

No sound - no beats audio. dv7 notebook Windows 7 64 bit.

No sound - no beats audio. dv7 notebook PC-SER #2CE2012FSD, IDT High DEF Audio CODEC, Windows 7 64 bit, Product # A6X08UA#ABA. Need ASAP for school.Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp58226.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 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.

Hp c4280 photo-smart added to new hp pavilion dv7 notebook. printing custom sized paper won't center

I recently bought an HP Pavilion dv7 notebook and added my HP C4280 printer. It prints normal things fine, but when I try to print with custom size paper (for instance, 5" by 10" notecards) and want my information centered in the middle of the page, the alignment prints it in the middle of an 8.5" by 11," way off center. I've read help on word and hp and can't find an answer. The only difference is an updated version of word.
I did download the patch and had no luck with that. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

Hi - It definitely sounds like the SW or printer driver isn't recognizing the paper size. First thing I would do is make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver and in Word match. For the printer driver, go into File, Print and you should see an option for Printing Options or Printing Properties. Click there and verify that you've got the paper size set correctly. In Word (not sure which version you're using) 2010, go into Page Layout and choose Size to make sure it matches the printer driver. Try printing again.
I'm assuming you're using the printer driver that came with the printer? If not, you can download the latest Win7 driver from here. Once downloaded, install it and follow the steps above.
Hope that helps.

How do I enable TPM in the bios on Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

Hi,
I have run into a problem trying to enable MS Bitlocker on Windows 8.1 on
Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
BIOS version is: F.1C
In the Windows UI, the TPM (Trusted Computing Module) management console says that I need to enable TPM in the BIOS.
Issue:
There does not appear to be any proverbial "on" switch in the BIOS for TPM versions 1.2 (or 2).
Question:
Anyone out there know how to resolve this?
I know there may be a way to get around this using group policy on the machine or to buy a USB key solution.
Looking for the hardware solution in the laptop if possible please.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi:
As far as I am aware, HP consumer notebooks do not have a Trusted Platform Module chip.
Check the device manager...if there is a TPM chip, there will be a Security Devices category in the device manager, and you would see the TPM chip listed under that category.
If not, then there isn't one.

Sony Xperia Z1 No Alarm Display and Unable to switch off alarm

Eversince I had the first Android Kit Kat update, my Xperia Z1 C6903 was not able to hear any notification sounds, my alarm sound worked but unable to switch it off or delete it and when my contacts call me, it send it straight to voicemail and I don't even hear the notifcation call sounds either. Did a reboot and went on safe mode, I still had the same problem. Found out online that there is a sound bug with my current firmware version: 14.3.A.0.681.
When the new update 14.3.A.0.757 was available, I downloaded it. After this, my sound notifications worked fine, however, my alarm is still not working. Both on normal and safety mode, my alarm does the following:
1) The alarm sound works
2) Side key behaviour does not show up on my screen, so I am not able to dismiss my alarm
3) I manually go to my "Alarm and Clock" app and press the "OFF" indicator. Alarm sound does not stop.
4) I have to go to > alarm settings >Delete alarms >Choose the current alarm to delete > Alarm Sound then stops.
This has been happening eversince the Android Kit Kat version was available for download (the previous and current one). I have reboot my phone, gone on safety mode, I have gone to >Settings >APPS> All> Clock > Clear Data, and went to the Sony PC Companion > Support Zone > Repair phone/tablet, as well as deleted all my apps.
I do not know what else to do. I can only conclude that this is an existing problem with the new software update. I need my alarm working or else I am unable to get up for my morning meetings. PLEASE HELP!

so i have been having the exact problem on my Z1. the alrm goes off at the right time....the notification works perfectly but you just cannot switch it off or snooze it. if i go to the drop down menu the active alarm is not listed there...the side buttons dont work or have no effect even when configured.
you literally have to power the phone off for it to stop sounding. this is really annoying and i notice that teh last comment here was a month ago and Sony have still not addressed this problem. if you google this issue there a stacks of people with the same problem and more frustarted as we keep getting suggested fixes like clear clock cache which EVERYONE knows will not work as the problem is not with the data of the alarm....its a bug in the software that prevents the app from excuting teh way it was intended to.
my alarms worked perfectly fine before teh update was applied. ever since teh update i ahev had this problem. i dont believe that a solution is to install another alarm app from google play store. i bought the phone which advertises the alarm as a feature and if sony cannot fix or address this probelm then you have falsely advertised...
i am a sold out sony fan...i will never purchase any other brand of phone based on my past experience with sony products but this problem is making me think otherwise. give us a proper fix for this alarm issue and dont treat us like ignorant fools with your suggessted fixes like start in safe mode or reboot your phone....that will never ever fix the problem....its just a way of avoiding the fact that you dont know what to do to fix this problem...

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook starting with Blank White Screen--Help??

I've had an HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook for a couple years now. Today I go to start it up (without the power cord plugged in), and a completely white screen appears. I'm thinking, maybe it's still starting up/working some kinks out. Then I hear the Windows 7 twinkling start up sound that usually happens when you get to your log in screen. So it seems the computer itself is working, but there is zero display on the screen. If anyone has any good advice/experience with this/knows how I can fix it or what I should do, PLEASE let me know! Computer problems are so distressing

I had this problem with my father's pavillion.
There was a broken pin in the screen socket on the motherboard so I guess it was always making poor contact until one day this pin must have broken off completely and the screen would only display completely white.
I inserted a fine solid wire (not multi-strand) into the plug at the right point so that it only just stuck out enough to make contact with what was left of the pin in the socket, whilst being fully inserted into the plug.
I then taped the plug/socket together to make sure it didn't loose contact by coming loose.
Seems to have solve the problem in the short term (but the socket should need replacing for a long-term fix).

HP Pavilion dv7 notebook, Windows 7: How do I disable an audio jack?

My Pavilion dv7 notebook includes two audio jacks for headphones on its right side (my left when facing it.) Long story short, a hefty piece of an iPod headphone has dislodged and been stuck inside one of these two jacks; there's no way I'd be able to remove it without taking apart the notebook. I can still receive audio via headphones when I plug headphones into the other jack, but I can no longer receive audio from the internal speakers.
I'd like to diasble both headphone jacks manually when I'd like to hear the speakers -- but I can't figure out how. When I access my 'Speakers and Headphones Properties' (IDT High Definition Audio Codec, through Sounds --> Playback Devices) and attempt to disable the device, all sound is disabled. There appears to be no way to selectively disable either just the speakers or just the headphones.
Any ideas?

...I'm still curious as to whether I can receive any assistance regarding this issue.

HT1349 i am unable to switch on my phone

I am unable to switch on my Iphone 4s, can any one help

Hello,
I have the same question. If the iPhone 4 is any indication then please use USB 2.0 port and the new accessories to charge it. I know that this sounds obvious but I found out later :(
Hence when you connect your iPhone to the iTunes via USB 2.0 port does it detect it? (since it should try to turn it on to sync)
Hope this can give you a little more insight.

HP Palion dv7 Notebook PC will not power up when power button is pressed.

My HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC will not power on when the power button is pressed. I have removed the battery, unplugged the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds then plugged in the AC adapter and pressed the power button for 15+ seconds. Then I release the power button and then press the power button again and the Notebook will power up and operate normally. I can reinstall the battery once it has powered up. What is causing this problem and how do I remedy the problem?

Hello Griff83147,
Unfortunately there could be a number of different things that caused that issue from drivers, software, possibly hardware. I am glad you got it up and running but there isn’t a clear picture of what actually caused. If a technician got the chance to work on it then they could at least narrow it down.
Sorry I could not answer your question, but this is one of those questions that can have multiple answers.
If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks
