G780 - Windows 8.1 update - Can't Start Dolby Audio Driver

I just updated my G780 to Windows 8.1 this morning. every time I boot up the computer, I get an Error message stating" Dolby Advanced Audio - Unable to start the Dolby Audio driver. Please restart the computer or reinstall the driver if the problem persists. I have restrtaed the computer and I do not know where the driver is for this or where to install it. Please help. Computer is just over a month old.

hi
The Driver I gave you is very huge (185MB)
      This is because it contains the dolby installer,
         It depends on the Version where it will be located after installing the audio driver
and what name it will have,
Try Searching then for Dolby but make sure you open you drive C: and do the search
or otherwise
      Try Navigating these folders
                 Open My Computer or ThisPC open you Drive C:
Now we'll look for the dolby Advanced audio installer
      Look for these folders as these are through my experience where it goes
                  Also when you find the right folder you will find two of them together (Dolby Advanced Audio and Dolby Home Theater) just install what came with your system the dolby advanced audio.
             C: Drivers / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Program files x86 / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
             C: Program files x86 / Conexant (Then look inside on all the folders inside it lkook for anything says like dolby)
Trust me its in your PC now you just need to look for the installer

ThinkPad E545 - After Win 8.1 update: Can't start Dolby Audio ...

I have just updated my ThinkPad E545 to Windows 8.1 today. Every time after computer boots up, I get an Error message starting like "Dolby Advanced Audio - Can't start Dolby Audio. If this problem will stay restart the computer. I have Czech Wins that's why it should be little bit different. After restart the computer the note is there again. I found discussion where are helps like Uninstall Conexant, restart and then Install again. But the problem is still there. Maybe I do some mistake. Can anyone help me?

hi Sperl19,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Your Dolby may not be synced with the Audio driver after the update,
Since Audio driver may had been updated by the 8.1 but not the Dolby app.
Here's what to do:
Open Device Manager
Uninstall the Audio Device Under Audio inputs and outputs
Then proceed to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall a Program
Uninstall all Dolby Related programs
Restart if Prompted
Now install this software driver
Conexant Audio Driver
Now open Drive C: on the upper right hand side of the screen you will find a Search pane
Type in "aa" and hit search
You should find 1 of the result as dolby or if not post a screen shot of the results here
If ever you found it install that and it should bring your dolby back
Hope this helps
Cheers!

I understand that you are having a problem installing the Dolby Home theater on your HP Pavilion G6-2321ee Notebook PC. I will try my best to help you with this.

Unable to start the Dolby audio driver after updating windows 10

I am using a Lenovo Laptop G510 that came with Windows 8 preinstalled. Yesterday I updated it to Windows 10 and after that whenever I boot my pc to desktop I get an error message saying that "Unable to start the Dolby audio driver". I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audio driver from my computer but still the error comes up. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

hi Abrahamjoy,
Can you try these steps:
1. Follow this guide on how to disable automatic driver installation.
2. Press the Windows key‌ +X and choose Device Manager. On the Device Manager, navigate to
- Sound, video and game controllers > right click on Conexant SmartAudio or IDT High Definition Audio > choose uninstall > and ensure the delete the driver software for this device is checked.
3. Press the Windows key‌ +X and choose Programs and Features. On the list of apps, uninstall anything that relates to the Conexant/IDT & Dolby then reboot.
4. After the reboot, download and install the driver below (this should install the audio & dolby components)

I can't start an audio or video in ichat 6 on Lion

I chat used to work for me. Now I can't start up audio or video chats.
The error message I get is
"iChat can’t start the audio chat."
"Your computer is busy in another chat."
I have tried the following
restart ichat
reinstall ichat
remove ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iChat*
I am using gtalk as my account.
Any help would be awesome
Nathan

Hi,
In Snow Leopard iChat and Face Time could be open at the same time and in fact use the camera (and or mic) at the same time.
I am not sure this is possible in Lion so I would launch Face Time and check that it is Off in the Preferences.
Although deleting all the com.apple.ichat .plists is excessive it should have closed any Open Chat (or what it thought was open) when you restarted. (Although you don't say you have restarted iChat since deleting them)
However there is one setting that may have upset this.
In System Preference > General Pane (Used to be the Appearance pane) is a check box to Cause any Open window on Quit to be reopened on any app launch.
If any window is Minimised to the DOCK that is where it is put back. (If it is trying to reconnect an audio or Video Chat this may be an Invite window)
As iChat can do Video and Audio Chats Peer-to-Peer it is pointless deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist or the Jabber one or in fact the Yahoo one as once a chat is started you can log out of the relevant Buddy List (Make that Account Off Line).
It is possible that this a a new style Message in Lion to Say "Your Camera/Mic is in use in another application"
As Reinstalling (Hopefully iChat 6) and deleting all the .plist and then restarting should have given you a clean slate, as it were, it is difficult to see what the issue could be or what to suggest next.

Where can I get my audio driver?

The model number is 610-1068cn,made in China,and the pre-installed system is win7 64-bit , I've changed it to 32-bit. Where can I find the audio driver ? The type of the sound card is IDT 92HD89D3 , anyone who knows ,please mail to me, thank you very much. [email protected] ( XP is also OK. )

You're very welcome.
It is very doubtful that you will get an IDT XP audio driver to work.
You also first need to install the MS UAA driver.

You can try these, and try manually installing then if they don't install automatically, but don't get your hopes up.

Problem installing iTunes update: "Can't start" iTunes "because MSVCR80.dll is missing" from my computer. Please help!

Please help! I tried to update my iTunes as prompted, but it did not install correctly, and now I am getting the following message and do not know how to fix the problem:
"The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling this program to fix the problem."
Another window gives me this message:
"iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)"
BUT I AM AFRAID TO REINSTALL iTUNES and lose my library! Would greatly appreciate learning how to resolve this porblem without losing my music!
Cheers!

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Dolby Audio driver cannot start after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Hello.
Windows 8 was the worst thing that happened to Windows, but since I bought this G505s laptop with Win8 pre-installed, i had no other choice to go to. Few days after the purchase, Windows 8.1 arrived and I updated 8 to 8.1 hoping to see some improvements. But to my sadness, 8.1 has ruined my expectations, and Lenovo didn't even care to address the user issues in 8.1
Here are my Issues :
OneKey Recovery : Updated to 8.xx.xx.xxxx
The OneKey Recovery app tells that 'Current system cannot create a backup'
I can't have a secure laptop without it creating the Recovery !!
Lenovo, please address this issue and fix the OneKey Recovery Problem !!
Dolby audio app : Doesn't open, and if once it starts, cannot configure the Equalizer !

hi sotim01,
Thanks for posting!
1. Uninstall all components,
Open Device Manager and Uninstall your Conexant audio under Sound and ganing controllers (make sure to place a check under delete driver software for this device)
2. Open Control Panel Uninstall a program and highlight the dolby component and an Uninstall button will appear.
3. Open your C: drive and Delete any folder that says drivers if non then continue with the next step
4. Download this Driver for installation
Conexant Audio Driver
Install it and continue
5. Open Drive C: now and you should have the Drivers folder back.
Open that, Open Connexant Open Dolby Gui, then you should have Dolbyaa for Advanced audio.
Restart your PC and there you go!
Let me know your findings

Can I start new hard drive set up again?/time machine info missing!

Hi, hoping for some guidance as I think I've made a mistake with my new hard drive set up, and now my time machine hasn't transferred everything over as I've folders missing!
My hard drive packed up & a new 10.6 was installed on my Macbook Pro. Previously running on 10.5.8 which was backed up to time machine 3 week ago. I switched on and went through the 'set up assistant' but when asked 'Would you like to inherit (or reuse) the backup?' I think I chose 'Don't backup now' because I thought I could do my time machine later! I now know I have chosen the hard route!!
Then I tried the 'migrate assistant' - it took 1.5hrs - desktop has screen shots etc as before but I couldn't access thing like 'my pictures' in bridge etc. The dock has LR, PS, Bridge etc as before too. Then I deleted the new admin set up (so I had only my old admin.) I restarted - no change. I then tried 'migration assistant' again but transfered only 'Other files and folders' because when all ticked there wasn't enough room (-81gb)
Now I can go into LR catalog it only has 2 folders (instead of more than 20), and in Bridge I have files & folders, but on accessing them I get 'Items could not be found. It may of been moved or renamed.'
I've looked into erase & install - but I don't have the disc. Maybe I should go back to the shop who installed 10.6? Can I start again so I can transfer from time machine in the set up?
Any advise on how I can get my info back would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Heather

I have the same problem, but it is happening with various USB drives including an iphone. If I have any of these connected via a USB hub to the MacBook Pro, they mount and operate fine until I attempt to copy large files to them. Randomly, during large file transfer, the drive will suddenly disappear and I'll get the same error as if I had yanked out the USB cable without unmounting it.
This is happening with:
* A standard (Lacie) powered 500GB USB drive mounted normally.
* A standard (Lacie) powered 500GB USB drive being used as a Time Machine disk (it errors/unmounts during Time Machine backups).
* An iphone 8GB during itunes syncs, only when copying large files (like videos).
I have tried two USB hubs, one powered and one not, and both cause the same problems. If I connect any of these drives/iphone directly to the Mac then they work absolutely fine.
I first thought the (unpowered) USB hub was to blame, but when I started using the powered USB hub and saw the same problems I'm starting to wonder if OS X has a bug with regards to heavy I/O to USB devices connected through hubs...?
Davros: my tip would be to connect the drive directly to the computer (not via USB hub) and see if the problem goes away.

Where can I find the Audio driver for a dv9865ek on XP?

Hi all,
HP support doesn't have the audio driver for my laptop, which is a pavilion dv9865ek with XP64 installed.
Any idea where I can find it or find out what the model of my sound card is?
Thaks for your help.

If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.

Everything is ok except I am unable to install Conexant audio driver (I have a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager next to Conexant High Definition Audio). Earlier I was able to install it on a single-boot WXP partition.
Many thanks for your help.
