DV9999us Sound Hardware stopped working for no reason

This is my first time ever posting to a thread, so if I do a poor job explaining myself, I apologize.
I have an hp dv 9999US laptop which months ago I upgraded to Win7-64 Pro.
I had no problems until a few weeks ago, where all of a sudden one day my sound card stopped responding. The soft touch keys above the keyboard became unresponsive and there was a red "x" next to the speaker icon in the taskbar. If I click on it, I get a "not responding/wait/close" dialogue box. And under Device manager I have no listing for a "Sound, video, and game controllers." Sometimes Device manager shows a device listed as "Co-Processor" with a yellow exclamation after it, but when I try to install a driver for it windows is unable to find one.
Also, when I try and install the driver for my sound card ( when it's not detected in DM) i get a code 10 error that the hardware is not responsive, or something to that effect.
However, sometimes everything works fine. The soft touch keys are responsive, my conexant sound card displays in Device manager, and the volume settings in the taskbar are functional.
I have NO idea what is causing this, but I've tried just about every driver I can find that's compatible with my integrated sound card.
I've done some forum reading, and one thing people suggest is to make sure that the Microsoft UAA bus driver, but I'm a little hesitant to start installing random drivers without knowing what they'll do.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and any additional information you need will be almost instantly provided.
Thank you in advance
Mike

Try a smple reset:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off).

  • Qosmio X500: power adapter stopped working for no reason

    Hi,
    Now i have my Qosmio X500 for a year and i like it, however i have small problems with it, and i would like to know if it can be problematic.
    The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,
    So i bought a new one, but it always made some noise when the laptop was fully charged.
    I know people with the same laptop and their adapter didn't make that sizzling noise, it looks like it was already defect from the begin.
    Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
    Finally my screen is a bit loose from the laptop, when i close it, i can move it, it always seems like it's not on it's correct place, because when i close it normally it's not 100% horizontal...
    Also when i replace my screen, my speakers make crackling noises and my webcam stops working.
    So all those problems i have annoy me, especially the last one (webcam and speakers problem), can this fit in the warranty of the laptop? I did extend the warranty for one year...
    Thanks in advance.

    > The first thing is that my power adapter stopped working for no reason,

    I think this is AC adaptor fault maybe a broken cable or something like that I would recommend you to replace this get in contact with the dealer and ask for the new one.
    > Then i have one dead pixel in the middle of my screen, no problem for me.
    I found a info about such issues:
    +Information on screen technology and pixel failure tolerance for LCD displays

    Maybe you should ask Toshiba notebook technicians for a check maybe some screws or the hinges are loose.
    The speakers should be checked with connected headphones. If you will not notice the same crackling sound using headphones, then the issue might be related to speakers

  • I cant get a photo project to email the moblile me address to someone else.  I know how, but it has stopped working for some reason.  Instead of pulling up the web address on the email form, it puts an error message?  Any ideas?

    Michael,
    The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
    Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
    Cheers,

  • My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music

    My sounds have stopped working for text, YouTube and music since in downloaded new software!

    I'm not sure if this will help, but I went into my sounds setting and made sure that both the "vibrate on ring" and "vibrate on silent" were selected to "on."  Once I did this, I was able to get the vibrating notification for a call received (as this had previously not been the case).  Hope this helps.

  • Digital out stopped working for no reason?

    I have been using the digital out through an optical cable to my surround sound for quite a few months. Today I turned the machine on and the sound no longer comes through. The surround sound does not show a connected device.
    I have checked the cable and surround sound device by plugging in another device that has optical out - this works fine. When I plug the optical cable into the back of the mini mac it lights up.
    Does anyone have any ideas how this might suddenly stop working and if there is way to fix it? Is the output of the digital out affected by software updates (im running latest updates)?

    Hi.
    Go to system preferences and then open sound. Click on the output tab and see what info you have under name. If you see Digital Out, it is hardware related (MLB) and needs service. Try to reset the SMC of the mini as well. Here's the steps:

  • Itunes stops working for no reason

    recently itunes just stops working every now and then for no reason. I only use it to listen to my music and didn't change any settings at all. then last week i updated it to the newest version, which i thought would put an end to this. but it still keeps happening.
    i have no clue at all.
    ps. i'm using a windows 7 home edition 64 bit os and have been for a year. didn't have this problem until very recent.
    any help is appreciated

    1.  In iTunes - go to - HELP - DIagnostics
    If that does not fix the problem, I would suggest that you do a complete uninstall and reinstall. 
    To to your Control Panel and remove all Apple programs - sort by Publisher:
    uninstall:  Bonjour, Quicktime, iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Service Device, Apple Software Update
    Restart your PC
    Go to Apple - iTunes and download (if you are running Windows 64 bit - look for the link in the text for the link for the proper iTunes installation
    This should give you a clean installation.

  • 2nd Gen Ipod Stopped Working For No Reason :/!

  • Personal Hot-spot has stopped working for no reason

    I had a perfectly functional Person Hotspot (data tethering) feature with my Vodafone UK connection, and the data tethering plan I had enrolled proved more economical than those regular USB dongles. Recently, I upgraded my vodafone plan to allow for a higher usage - and somehow the person Hotspot just stopped working. Every time I navigate to the Personal Hotspot Button, the tab - which used to read 'Enable Personal Hotspot ON/OFF' - now reads 'Setup Personal Hotspot'. When I click on the link, it directs me to a Vodafone Iphone Advertisement page.
    I contacted Vodafone officials, even personally visited their store and got a confirmation that the data tethering plan is active, and there should be no problem with my iphone's data tethering capability. The best advise they could suggest was to backup and restore the Iphone using Itunes. Well - I tried that as well, and still the problem persists.
    Has anyone faced this problem before? Can anyone help - where exactly can I reset the Hotspot settings, or even enter it manually to get it working? I've tried backup and restore, reset cellular data network, Disable and re-enable 3G,  ejecting and re-inserting Vodafone SIM........  The hotspot was a wonderful feature, would love to get it back.........!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Dodie.  My personal hotspot just stopped working.  I use it all the time and it was driving me crazy having to connect via usb.
    I have used the reset before and forgot all about it.
    Simple fix, get it got it, good !

  • My iphone 5s screen has stopped  working for no reason at all? how can i fix this?

    I was using it fine then locked it and tried to use it 5 minutes later and it stopped working? any ways to fix this or do i have to go onto an apple store?

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • Help! Safari Autofill stopped working for no reason.

    My Safari autofill has suddenly stopped working. It used to be that when a form came up on safari I could start filling it out and hit tab and it would fill in the entire form. Now it looks like it might fill in that line, but if I hit tab it doesn';t even complete the line that is highlighted. I think this started to happen after I did the latest OS X software update -- I am now running 10.4.11. I checked autofill on safari and it seems to have all the appropriate boxes checked. And if I go to the pull down menu and pull down edit and do autofill forms, it will do it. But why won't it do it using tab any more?
    thanks so much,

  • IPhone stopped working for no reason

    Hi,
    Need some help.
    I have had an iPhone now for a year, and it has just completly stopped working.  It hasn't been dropped or had anything spilt on it.  I have phone Orange twice now and they have gone through plugging it into iTunes and both times it did nothing except for the little apple sign to come on for approx. 20 seconds then go off.
    Orange have now told me the phone is basically dead and there is nothing I can do as its now out of warranty and I can't upgrade until May 2012!!
    Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get the phone working? 

    Hi,
    Thanks for replying. 
    I have tried that and nothing happened, should have mentioned that in my first post apologies

  • TS2972 Homesharing stopped working for no reason

    I tried finding an answer in other forums but couldn't find any solutions, with the possible exception of a couple of answers where someone types a 10 page essay of all the techie reconfigurations they did on their entire system to get the 15 different devices working on their multiple ATVs, but I don't think it applies to me, even if I could understand it (I'm not that savy, sorry guys!): 
    I have one Apple TV, hooked up to one TV, homesharign to my one itunes account on my one macbook.  Everything worked great, then one day just didn't, and it hasn't connected since.  I reset the router, the itunes, the ATV, etc. . . . the "computer" section on ATV acknowledges my homeshare account but tells me I can't connect to it until I turn on homesharing on my computer, meanwhile homesharing IS turned on on my computer . . . my WIFI is working, there have been no new devices introduced to the home recently, and NOTHING has changed.  Since it stopped working I also got all the latest updates for ATV and itunes, but it still doesn't work (I can't blame the updates though, it wasn't working before).  The other features of my ATV work fine, including internet radio, etc.
    Does anyone know what's going on? Thanks for any help!

  • Proxy Stops working for no reason, recreating with the wizard works fine

    For no reason I will start getting the following error:
    06/08/29 11:10:37 Caused by: HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: Connection timed out: connect
    I will then create a new proxy using the wizard and it will work fine the first time. Does anyone know what is going on here? I have the preference for Web Browser proxy turned off
    Here is my info:
    JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
    Web Services 1.4 RPC-Literal (probably should be RPC-Encoded)

    Not sure if this is the problem but the proxy is working now. It seems that when the WSDL created by the wizard hardcodes the ip address of the local machine into the soap address. Then when you create the proxy using that wizard it uses the same hardcoded ip address. So when you plug into another network get another ip address it won't work. So to make it work I changed both the webservice address and endpoint to use localhost.
    I'm new to the web services stuff so I'm looking for someone to validate this theory.
    Thanks,

  • Sound suddenly stopped working for HP Pavilion HPE h8xt

    It was working perfectly fine a few weeks ago; then last week it stopped working and I haven't gotten it to play any sound since. I'm using my old Emachines SP-20A speakers. I tried my headphones to make sure it wasn't a speaker problem, but no sound from there either. I didn't make any changes I can think of.
    I have already tried everything on this list, to no avail: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01884922&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
    There are no error messages, nothing. Everything seems to be fine, but...
    I have a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070t CTO Desktop PC and am running Windows 7 64-bit.
    I'm really at a loss here and I can't work without sound. Help would be very much appreciated!

    Hi,
    It would be helpful if you posted the exact HP product number.
    Think back to when your PC operated correctly and then when the sound failed.  Between those times, what changes or updates were made to your PC?
    You might look in the Control Panel --> Programs and features and look at the changes about the time when your sound failed.  In that same Control Panel --> Programs and features you can also look at installed updates and dates.
    Your PC is still under warranty so you might give HP Support a try.  You already probably know what they are going to tell you.
    HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.
