H8-1287 Beats Audio controls do not work in Windows 8.1

I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 and installed the IDT High-Definition audio driver from HP's website. The surround sounds seems to be working but the controls do not work to modify the EQ etc. I've seen the problem has been resolved for Envy laptops but all the links for the software appear to only be for the notebooks and not compatible with my desktop system. I've downloaded the available software (IDT High-Definition Audio driver) found under my HPE HI-1287 product from HP's support site but the Beats audio control panel doesn't seem to make any sound quality changes. Hopefully there is a driver somewhere compatible with my desktop system that allows controling the audio properly. Thanks.

Hello @KICR,
I understand that the Beats Audio Console is not adjusting the audio settings on your HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. According to the HP Pavilion HPE h8-1287c Desktop PC Drivers page there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for your computer. I can only assume that this means your computer is currently using Windows default drivers or Windows 8 drivers and the Beats Audio Console is not able to interact properly with the currently installed driver.
All I can recommend is that you check back periodically to the drivers page I linked above and see if Windows 8.1 drivers have been created. Other than that your only option at this time would be to use the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8) to restore your computer back to Windows 8 where the Beats Audio Console has drivers that are compatible.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

ActiveX control is not working with windows NT

I've have a stand alone application which uses an activeX control. The application was compiled using Labview 7.1 on a Windows XP machine. The application will run without any problems on Windows XP and Windows 2000, however the activeX control will not work with Windows NT 4.0. The activeX control is registered, and I have also compiled the application on a Windows NT 4.0 machine. I do not receive any error messages, the application will start but will not communicate with the activeX control. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello,
Have you tired running the VI by itself (not exe) on the NT machine? Make sure you are doing adequate error checking in your code. It could be possible that the application is generating an error which in not handled appropriately. Also which service pack do you have installed on the NT machine? Please look at the release notes for LabVIEW 7.1 here.

Brightness and volume control keys not working with windows 7?

brightness, volume control and some other keys keys are not working with windows 7 with macbook pro retina. Can I fix it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.
To install them, follow these steps:
1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.
3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.
4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers

4.1 Beats Audio in dv76163cl not working as advertised

I recently purchased the multimedia dv7 6163cl with beats audio, 4 speakers and 1 subwoofer. From the point I purchased the computer, 3 weeks ago to now, the front two speakers have never worked.
The sound clarity is great as is with the rear speakers and subwoofer working great. However, if it is advertised that the computer comes with 4 speakers and a subwoofer, why on earth is it not working?
I followed up with these queries via Costco and HP and a sufficient fix to the problem has not been found. The audio codec is up to date as is the bios.
The OS is Windows 7 64-bit and there aren't any error messages per se.
Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
After a little digging I found that windows 7 users who had xp before found that they are having issues with their respective external 4.1 or 5.1 surround speaker set ups...could it be a windows 7 issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Just tried a "Rolls" headphone amp to the device.
Maybe not the right jack?
I know that the line in can be picky.
Mics are especially a nuisance.
A long time option is to use the iMic, and feed audio in via USB:

I use one with a mic and my turntable, zero issues.

Windows 8 and Beats audio (fn+b not working)

Hi guys,
I bought a HP DM4-3114TX which came with Windows 7 on it, I upgraded this to Windows 8 Pro without keeping any settings/files (so like a fresh install).
I have been to the driver download page of the HP website and downloaded all the drivers/programmes for Windows 8, but my fn+b button doesn't work to turn on and off beats audio.
I have looked on the forums and tried a few things to get it to work but nothing has fixed it yet. I was hoping I could get some help on this please?
Many thanks!

Hey,bush1e.
You might want to make sure the Fn + Function Keys Aren't disabled in the BIOS.

Also, you want to update the BIOS when it comes out.

Now try this download this is for Windows 7 but sometimes it's backwards compatible. http://goo.gl/yNuEV

Enterprise Manager Grid Control - SSH not working on Windows

Hi,
We tried the below steps to install EM Grid control on our Windows servers.
• Oracle Application Grid Control with Oracle Management Agent has been installed successfully on Server1.
• As part of prerequisites for Agent installation using Agent Deployment Wizard, we have installed Cygwin in both the boxes – SOA box (Server2) and Grid control box (Server1) for SSH communication. However, the agent installation failed and the service in SOA box failed to start. We tried re-installation of Cygwin but unable to bring up Cygwin service.
• We have installed SOA suite in another box (Server3) and then installed Cygwin. Cygwin installation was successful and all previous issues were resolved.
However, SSH communication is getting failed because of the error "User Authentication failed on remote nodes:Server3. Either the provided username and password is incorrect or Password Authentication is disabled for the sshd daemon on the remote nodes. To enable Password Authentication set the property PasswordAuthentication to "yes" in the SSHD Configuration File (sshd_config) on the remote nodes".
We are able to achieve SSH communication when we manually try it through Cygwin Bash Shell.
Any pointers in resolving this would be highly appreciated.
regards,
Satyajith

I couldn't get to work either so I left the ssh configuration out and went on with 'silent' installation which worked like a charm and oem discovered it right away. Be sure change the parameters according to your environment in 'additional_agent.rsp' file and use that to run the silent installation. You may have to add one additional parameter manually about agent home location, look in the documentation for the exact parameter name. Hope this helps, Viral.

Qosmio G30 - Media center remote control doesn't work in windows

Dear All,
I have Qosmio G30-194,
first i had a problem with the VGA , i send it for repair, when it comes back i noticed that the remote control is not working on windows Media Center, while in A/V mode it work perfectly.
I tried to do full system restore from the recovery DVD, but nothing changed, even i installed Windows Vista with all of its drivers.
Nothing changed also, I borrowed a USB IR received for another remote control it worked perfectly with my remote on windows.
Please advise me what to do, do i send it back to the service center , or there is an easier solution.

Thank you in advance

don't expect toshiba to fix problems like this.
they replaced motherboard on my laptop and ever since the remote was not working.. it would turn the laptop on but was unresponsive thereafter. thing's we have tried:
- install software and drivers for remote again
- reinstall windows
- replace reciever
- change motherboard
- change remote
- terminate and restart relevant processes
- downgrade bios
- update bios
- combinations of the above
on several occassions Toshiba told me they were able to replicate and solve the problem but after trying it on my laptop they remembered that actually their one was slightly different.
almost a year later, i still have a non-working remote
my theory is the laptop leaves factory with certain software which Toshiba fail to include in recovery partition and\or bios that is available through them... so once you lose the factory components (i.e.the original motherboard) you also lose some necessary files with them.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Hi,
Please try the following steps which I actually used for my machine:
Go to Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers
Expand then unistal IDT software
Reboot the machine
After 10 minutes or so, the system will reinstall the right driver for you.
