Help!!! please!!! sound gone after bios battery replaced

Somebody help me please... cant here any sound
I changed my bios battery to a new one
I have KT4V motherboard MS 6712 version10A
i installed windows xp
installed all new drivers (including sound drivers, Realtek AC97)
the window traybar is showing the volume and sound effect icons (nothing muted)
windows Xp stating that realtek AC 97 sound drivers are installed, enabled and properly working
I tried installing latest drivers from the web as well
but cant hear any sound
earlier it was ok .... i have installed and uninstalled xp many times previously and everthing was fine after installing drivers...sound was there
this time i have changed bios battery and set all configuration to default...
cant hear any sound from speakers/headphone
i shall really appreciate your help in this regard
Thanks

"I have tried the troubleshooter of Windows XP -> Help ... but to no avail"
Don't expect to find anything usefull there
"It seems that songs are playing when i open one in a player .."
Which player? What songs?{Not name but sound format used}
Type in run "dxdiag", then select "sound" tab and do "test".
Go to control panel, sound and multimedia, see if you can play the wav files from there. Make sure that properly sound device is used as playback if you have more than one
Run the mixer the check that speaker sets are configured properly, and there is not muted lines{master or wave volumes}
Do a sound test from there too if its available.
"- could it be with the sound output jack itself gone dead?"
Yes. Also is possible the sound card amplifier to be dead.{not jack problem}
"- how do I ensure that buying a new sound card is the only solution (I hate this idea), suppose the problem is with bios/ M/b ... then i would have wasted money as soundcard may not function too"
Well you can ensure that by dismissing other possibilities.
That's the simplest and best idea.{If the onboard sound is dead} External cheap PCI sound cost around 10$ and forget about the case.

Won't charge after ipod battery replacement

Hi,
I hope you can help me.
Battery replacements for iPod generation 1 (5 GB) and iPod Photo generation 4(?) (60 GB) did not work:
I bought replacement batteries from OWC (MacSales.com). Below is the invoice data from OWC for theses batteries. Since the swapping didn't work the first time, they sent me new batteries for free, but to no avail.
NWTBIPOD1350MPH
Apple iPod Photo 1350mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 5818602, replacement for S/N: 5554860
NWTBIPOD2200M12
Apple iPod 1G/2G 2200mAh High-Cap Battery
S/N: 3761061, replacement for S/N: 3761112
Neither the iPod Photo nor the iPod 1G would work after installing new batteries. The batteries were replaced by OWC, but even a new install with the new replacement batteries did not work. Both iPods worked fine after each installment with the batteries as long as there were some power left in the new batteries. As I recall, that would be about 2 hours. After the first complete charge of the batteries, the iPods seemed to work as expected, but after the second charge they both appeared completely dead. The charging was done with the chargers that came with the iPods. This is very odd, and it is hard to tell what the problem may be. I find it strange that this happens to both the 1. and 4. generation of iPods, as they are quite different, and so are the batteries, and the same thing happened after trying to swap batteries twice on both units.
Do you have any ideas as to what it may be that causes this?
If you know how I can get the iPods to work with the new batteries I would appreciate it. It is no option to buy new iPods. Economy doesn't permit it for the moment.
Best regards from
Guttorm Kittelsen
PS. The iPod 1 (5Gb) was bought at Office Line Mac & Carry (now Humac) in Oslo
        The iPod Photo 4 G (60Gb) was bought at the Apple store. (not the App Store)

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

Help please - no Adobe after Onyx cleaning

Have tried contacting Adobe support on four browsers with NO luck - so I'm here. Nothing there works.
I used Onyx this morning for cleaning/maintenance on my Mac (Leopard 10.5.6) went as usual. Restart, etc.... All programs work except for everything Adobe - Creative Suite premium - Photoshop, Golive, InDesign, etc. and also no Acrobat.
The files are still there, the icons are still there, the apps claim to still be there but all I get is the beachball and when I force quit it says "Unresponsive"
??? Help please. I need my Adobe programs.
Diane

You mention GoLive which would indicate you are using Cs or CS2 neither of which is supported for use in Leopard. Adobe will not be updating these old versions. So now would be the time to update your suite before you get locked out of the upgrade path.
the other solutions to try would be to see if they work in a new user and revert to Tiger.
BTW Onyx should not affect Adobe software.

IPhone 3gs Battery Heating, iPhone does not start even after the battery replaced

Hello
Last night my phone was plugged into the car charger and suddenly it went blank and turnned off itself. I Tried DFU'in it but nothing worked. I charged it but all it does is heats up. Today I replaced the battery and it sill wouldnt work. I cant turn it on at all!
Can some one please help me.
URGENT!!
Thanks

Extremely doubtful. Without being able to get the phone up and running, it's impossible to say for sure, but I'm guessing any data that was on the phone is long gone.
As for what could be the issue... at this stage, I'll have to go with an all encompassing "it's broke". You're probably going to either have to find a professional repair shop or just buy a new phone. Apple won't touch it at this stage since you opened it yourself.

I have successed to find again my CD/DVD drive both in BIOS and Windows 7 by doing the following:
(1). Press F2 at "Lenovo" start up display to enter BIOS
(2). Go to "Main" (the place showing also Harddisk Drive) and enter F9 for Set Default.
(3). Go to "Boot" and enter F9 for Set Default
(4). Exit with save.
Hope the information is usefull for all.

Help - Cant use CS3 after Hard Drive replaced and software had to be reinstalled

My iMac needed a new Hard Drive so had this replaced by licensed Apple repairer. All software was lost and was told to reinstall CS3 which I did successfully. I have the original CD's. Serial number accepted. When I opened up Illustrator, Photoshop or indesign I get a message saying I am trying to upgrade ( which I am not) and that I need to choose the version premium 1 or 2 or standard 1 or 2. I chose standard 1. The am asked to put serial number in again then hit enter button. It comes up with an "x" saying I cannot access or upgrade. I then can't go forward or do anything except click back button or quit. Please can anyone help?? I tried calling Australian customer support but CS is not supported by phone which is very frustrating.
Thanks.
Daniel.

Purdy123 did you migrate or transfer over your applications from the other drive? If so then this is likely causing your current error. Please run the available uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once you have done this then please also use the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal. You can find instructions and the download at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Once you have completed the removal process you should then be able to reinstall the software successfully. If you need a fresh copy of the installation files then you can download them from Download CS3 products.

Sound gone after update - no such file or directory

I updated my mythtv machine tonight, sound is gone. I get an arts informational message that "device: default can't be opened for playback (no such file or directory)
Sound was working fine before the upgrade.
I got some alsa errors right after upgrade, just before the logon screen, but couldn't locate them in any log. I reran alsaconf and it seemed to set up fine. Running alsamixer gives me just one column, (playback) rather than the multiple mixer columns I had previously. alsactl store does not save the setting I put in here.
The upgrades included ivtv-utils; there was something about using jack as a control; I'm still trying to figure out exactly what jack is and how it might fit into all of this, but I downloaded and ran qjackctl, it failed with error messages.

I'm not an expert, but I do have experience with the cx88xx cards and sound. Mine is an NVidia force 2 board, but I believe it still uses the snd-intel module.
Do you get sound in any other applications besides myth?

8460p - sound distortion after BIOS update

After updating BIOS to v F05 experience sound distortion at random times.
Driver reinstallation does not help

Figured out - the problem is with HP Power Assistant. This program does something periodically and this makes sound distortion once in a minute or so.
Killing the process solves the issue. But it is a workaround to listen music normally.
Is anybody from HP looking at this forum?

Help please ~ sound problems with menus in iDVD

I launch iDVD from within iMovie. Then I start to personalise the menus.
But the menu screens although showing the chapters only give a loop duration of between 00:00 and 13:30 seconds.
Every time whenever I import QuickTime dv. files (made in iDVD 5 to avoid the dreaded rise in volume at the end) the sound in iDVD is grotesquely distorted.
Each of the QuickTime dv. movies last 10 seconds.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong! Please help!!

Thanks John Beatty of Maryland for responding. But I think I'll need to post my question again in hopes that someone else will recognise my difficulty.
I was hoping for a solution.
The distortion in audio occurs during the process of DESIGNING my DVD ~ I don't get as far as previewing.
It's only occurring in one screen (or menu). Although my QuickTime dv. file lasts only 10 seconds (in this case) and should therefore fit within a 13 and a half second limit, it shouldn't be offering me such a short time frame ~ normally it's quite a bit more ~ 51 seconds, is it? ~ and you move the slider back to the time you require for the dv. movie to loop.
But thanks anyway, John. Someone else might recognise my difficulty.

Sound gone after security update!

I just ran the latest security update (2006-2) on my wife's Intel Core Duo Mini and the sound device is no longer available. No start up chime. No sound what so ever. The volume level does not even appear in the menu bar and the volume keys on the keyboard do nothing.
The Sound pane (under the output tab) in System preferences says:
No output devices found
Is this a known issue with the update or has something gone wrong with the computer (it is only four days old).
Mac Mini Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.5)

One of the few settings that Mac OS X saves in the PRAM is the system volume. If you're system volume was set to mute when you shut down, you won't hear the chime at startup. But it was odd you couldn't change the volume with the keys or the menubar.
By resetting the PRAM, the system will forget if it's been muted, turned very low or very high and reset to the middle. Usually you hold all four keys down at the same time until you hear the startup chime for the third time and then let go. Thanks for sharing what you've found, someone else may come by with the same question.

Sound gone after upgrade: Solved

Hi all!
I saw similar problems elsewhere in the forum and in the mailing list, but reading them and trying those ideas did not work. So I am hoping that someone has some more recent ideas, thus I will describe the problem again.
I updated my Arch box to the latest versions of everything, which included removing hotplug and switching on hwdetect. hwdetect loads a dozen or so ALSA sound modules which all seem to be reasonable to my eye:

The only problem is -- nothing somes out of my speakers any more. Yes, I am in the audio group, yes, the speakers are plugged in correctly -- everything worked before the upgrade. Even now, when trying to play an MP3 audio file with mplayer, there is no error message and I see that mplayer thinks it plays the song.
I have tried playing around with alsaconf, alsactl and alsamixer, also tried to mute/unmute thing in kmix, but nothing works and the speakers stay silent.
Any idea are greatly welcome.

Sound gone after Snow Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded (finally) to Snow Leopard on my 24" iMac. After a couple days the sound just disappeared. Everything seems to function correctly - preferences are correct, volume control works, etc - but nothing comes out of the speakers. Sound restores on reboot, but disappears within an hour or so. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea what is going on but syslogd has suddenly started taking 100% CPU.

Kicks in as soon as the machine has finished booting.
Did stop for no reason for about 10 minutes then started again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
