Echo on my Win7 Compaq Presario CQ62-231NR

I just bought a Compaq Presario CQ62-231NR Laptop running Windows 7.  The sound has a weird echo on it.  Does anybody know how to turn off that effect?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Burt

Go to Solution.

This uses the AC97 audio chip, apparently, (or compatible to) and uses the Realtek sound manager (usually soundman.exe) to configure it. You should be able to double click on the volume control icon in your taskbar (lower right hand corner, looks like a speaker) and go into the advanced options to play with that. Or just find the Realtek Sound Manager, either or.

    Hi,
    Shutdown the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory.  Post back with the details of any error messages.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop does not see SD card

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop (Windows 7 64bit) that has a built in media card reader that has never worked.
    When I insert the SD card it makes the "USB Beep Up sound" that says it sees the card - but when I go to MY COMPUTER, there is no device listed for the SD card.  How do I read and write to an SD card with this laptop?

    I have done that.
    In DEVICE MANAGER I can see the SD Card show up under "Disk Drives" when the SD card is inserted, and disappear when it is removed.
    Under Storage>Disk Management the SD card shows up as drive 1 (main drive is drive 0) but no drive letter. 
    When I right-click on the SD card Drive 1 and try to change to a drive letter, I get an error message and it will not let me.  It will not let me format either. 
    The driver is from microsoft and is old - 6/21/2006. I did some google searching and read that a driver update would fix the issue. I uninstalled the card reader driver, got a new driver from HP and installed it, and when I inserted the SD card it loaded up the old driver...ugh.

  • I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-213AX but i can't get 5.1 surround over HDMI. How can i get this?

    My Compaq Presario CQ62-213AX should be able to output 5.1 surround over HDMI but in 'supported formats' only stereo is listed.
    This computer has a ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5430 and according to the specs,
    http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/a​ti-mobility-hd-5400/Pages/hd-5430-specs.aspx
    and here...
    "A special feature of the HD 5000 series is its ability to transmit HD audio formats (like Dolby True HD or DTS HD Master Audio) with up to 8 channels and 192 KHz / 24 Bit over HDMI 1.3a."
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-H​D-5430.23702.0.html
    it should work.
    My other HP laptop (DV7) is doing this fine so my system setup is OK.
    I have tried a full factory reset and have fully updated my system but it still doesn't work.
    Please tell me what i need to do to get it to work.
    Thanks,
    Tina.

    I can try-dunno how much help I'll be, though
    go here for Realtek drivers for surround sound
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=37&Level=5&Co nn=4&ProdID=144
    try this: go to Windows Sound, then playback devices, then click on speakers icon (should have realtek as default). Click on that, and click configure
    if realtek has a sound manager, try clicking on that, and a config dialog might appear
    sorry can't be much more help than that

  • Can you overclock a compaq presario CQ62-219WM laptop?

    Is there a way to overclock my Compaq Presario CQ62-219WM? I really need a few more GHz...

    There is no way to overclock in hardware as with a desktop. There may be software overclocking options, visit www.overclock.net but any overclocking of a laptop is ill-advised and darn near impossible, anyway. The cooling system is built to work at stock speeds and canot be improved very much. If you want a faster computer, sell the one you have and buy a new one. If you want to try to game on the system you have it is a lost cause. The problem is not the CPU it is the GPU, which cannot be upgraded in any way as it is soldered to the motherboard.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 DVD not working after Windows 7 automatic install of upgrades

    The DVD in my Compaq CQ62 stopped working after Windows 7 automatically installed updates. The driver seems to be corrupted. When I open Device Manager, the DVD comes up as hp DVD RW AD-7701H SATA CdRom Device and the device status displays...A driver (service) for this device has been disabled.  An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32).. There are two drivers installed--cdrom.sys from Microsoft,  File Version 6.1.7600.16385(win7_rtm.090713-1255) and PxHlpa64.sys File Version 2.03.32a from Sonic Solutions. If anyone knows the link to download the new driver or how to resolve this problem please let me know.

    We are not sure what might have caused this issue. You may try removing the affected filter drivers and check. This has helped few.
    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit in the Programs list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
    2. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2. You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values. To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
    3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
    4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
    5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
    6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
    7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
    Note After you remove the UpperFilters registry entry and the LowerFilters registry entry, you may lose functionality in certain programs such as CD recording programs. In this scenario, you must reinstall any affected programs.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 Fan runs constantly, at max speed during X11

    I have tried to follow the instructions in the wiki for fancontrol, but lm_sensors doesn't seem to even recongnize the fan.
    "sensors" output:http://hastebin.com/gorofawogi.hs
    Also, the temperture sensor reading seems to be erroneous, as my laptop is running nothing close to 88°C .
    Is there a fix to this? Or does my laptop just not support fancontrol?
    Interestingly enough, this issue occured after I cleaned my fan out. Could this be related somehow?

    I looked deeper into the wiki, and it seems that cpufreq and lm_tools have not been tested on my model of Compaq. The notion that it does not support fancontrol seems to be ever-looming.

  • How to get to the fan of Compaq Presario CQ62?

    I believe there is an issue with the fan of my laptop, and I opened up the back of it in hopes that I could get to the fan and take a peek to see if it was merely a cleaning issue.  I failed to find a way to actually get to the fan.  I removed all visible screws and still couldn't manage to figure out how to get to the fan.  Can anyone offer assistance or point me in the right direction of how to figure this out?  Thanks.

    You unscrew all the screws including the one under the battery.  Make sure you remove all RAM and Hard Drives.  Carefully pry up the key board (if you did miss some screws underneath the keyboard will not come up), DO NOT pry from the bottem or else you can break some of the keyboard wires.  There is one screw under the keyboard, take it out.  There are some wires under the keyboard that you can see pluged into the main circut board remove them all carefully ( the ribbions will come out by lifting the top where the ribbon is connected, and do not forget the one on the top left hand side (careful not to break the wires).   Now from unerneath remove all the doors and unplug the wireless card,  its about 1 1/2 by 1 inches.  Now carfully pry the shell aprt while its right side up ( the mother board is screwed into the bottem half of the shell).  The mother board has two screws holding it down take them out and unplug the wires on the right side and one on the bottem. Now lift the mother board on the right side and carfully slide it out, it may be slightly binded aroung the fan.  The fan is on the bottem of the mother board.  If you want to remove the fan you have to remove the heat sink so you need extra heat sink.
    I hear HP laptops have a lot of fan issues,  I had a HP pavillion 6000 that had fan problems, and now this one.  I sent it off to get the CPU fixed and came back like this.  I do not trust HP to fix my computers any more and do all maintanance my self. 

  • Replaced hard drive in compaq presario cq62, need help recovering it with out disks

    Recently replaced the hard drive in my notebook due to failure of original.  Need help recovering it without disks

    If you are wanting to install the original copy of Windows it came with, you will need a set of recovery disks.
    Otherwise, you can purchase a copy of Windows to install and download the appropriate drivers from http://goo.gl/hOm3. Just make sure the copy of Windows that is installed is at least the same family of Windows to ensure that drivers are available.
    What is the exact model of the notebook and product number?
