HP 15634 Laptop AMD A8 SKU: 6516006, says that the AMD high definition audio device is unplugged.

I recently bought a new HP 15634 Laptop AMD A8Series 4GB Memory 750GB Hard Drive Black Licorice 
SKU: 6516006 and it was runing fine, but when i tried to use ear phones to listen to audio they didnt work. thinking that it was just the head phones i unplugged them and tried to listen from my laptop speakers like normal, but they did play. after investigating the problem i saw that it just says there are no speakers or headphones plugged in. but it even says that the Amd high defenition audio device isnt plugged in. i tried using the computers trouble shooting but it couldnt find the problem either. Also im running on windows 8.1

Hello JosephAnhalt,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you have an HP 15-g012dx notebook that is not producing sound. 
I would start here: No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8). You can skip step one, as you mentioned you've already tried the Windows troubleshooting tool.
Let me know if this helps!

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • "AMD HDMI Output -AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in

    i have an HP Pavilion dv6-6110us laptop. i have had this laptop for less than 1 month and the sound is not working at all. I checked to make sure nothing was muted, i uninstalled the soundcard and reinstalled it on Device Manager, and still, I cannot manage to get the sound back on. the audio settings says "AMD HDMI Output -AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in) ..but i have no clue how to "plug it in". Help!!!?

    Hey! You essentially have two sound cards, including the HDMI. First, make sure you're using the ATI graphics card, and not the Intel, when you want to use the HDMI.
    Next, go to Windows Control Panel\Sound
    On the playback tab (which shows by default), WHEN YOUR HDMI IS PLUGGED IN AND WORKING, you should see two playback devices: Your internal sound card/speakers, and the AMD HDMI. All you need to do is switch between the playback device you want the sound to be channelled to. You can switch this at any time. I do this when watching in the other room via my projector, or in my comp. room. Just select the HDMI sound device and choose the button on bottom-middle "Set Default". This will change the "default device" tag to below the HDMI playback device. To reset, either unplug the HDMI, or switch it here. This is always the first place you should look when you have sound issues.
    Because I switch quite often, I have a shortcut link on my desktop to this sound menu, for quick switching.
    If this doesn't work, make sure you have drivers for your ATI video card installed. Check you exact model and make sure your bios is up to date. They have made for switchable graphics now, which is much preferable to the previous auto-detect switch. The drivers are updated, as well. The latest HP drivers for the ATI were released in November. You can install these, then install the latest AMD/ATI Mobility Video Driver package over the top to make sure you have the latest video drivers. Either of these packages includes the HDMI audio driver, which you may not have installed.

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In - h8-1070t

    Seeing this message in control panel/display drivers for HDMI on my video card.
    In short I will get sound occasionally out of my HDMI card which is plugged into my stereo. Randomly the sound wil cut out and I get this message: AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In
    Occasionally when I restart my computer it works again, but only for a short time. I have reinstalled the drivers from AMD with no luck.
    Stats below:
    Model: h8-1070t
    Product: LP028AV#ABA
    Video Card: AMD Radeon 6850
    Much appreciated for any help!

    I have the same problem and have just begun looking into it. I have my Radeon 7570 hooked up to a Panasonic TV with the HDMI connection. After a reboot of the computer and turning on the TV it works, but if I change the input on the TV to something else and then come back to the HDMI input the computer is connected to, the sound is lost. The computer then reports that the AMD device is not plugged in and it switches the default to the standard speakers.
    Elsewhere I've seen it reported that updated AMD drivers have corrected the problem for some, but when I used AMD's automated driver detector and downloader it complained that it couldn't identify the 7570. So HP's version of the 7570 doesn't seem to match AMD's. So it's up to HP to provide an updated video driver to correct this problem.
    Let's hope they do.

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device

    Hi,
    All the sudden my audio is not plugged in.  My system shows that it is enabled, but there is a red "X" over the sound icon on the bottom right of my screen.
     I've had it less than a week. 
    Product name: HP 15 Notebook PC
    Product number: F9H60UA#ABA
    Windows 8.1 64-bit
    Please help!
    Looking at my installed programs, I don't see it listed as being installed- but I have had sound previously.
    thank you,
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Yes, just select to save audio installer file - if it overwrites an existing version that's fine, however don't run the installer until you restarted and reset the bios defaults.

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in ( HP Pavilion dv7-4063ca)

    Maybe I post this issue before but no one provide me a solution. That's why I post this issue again maybe there is someone willingly help to resolve my problem.

    Hello LCruz,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand the computer is not producing sound through its speakers. I know how frustrating this can be, but I will do what I can to assist you! To commence troubleshooting the issue, please try the steps in this HP document: No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)
    You may have tried some of the troubleshooting in this document, but I urge you to try all the steps presented, in order. If those steps are unable to resolve the issue, I would try a Windows refresh. This will clean up the operating system to an extent, and it could resolve the sound conflicts. For more information on this, please review this Microsoft website: How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC
    Please try all of these steps and let me know your results. Thanks for bringing this issue to the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.

    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

    AND ALSO I HAVE HEARD THAT THE IPHONE 3G CANNOT BE UPDATED TO IOS 4.2!IS IT TRUE???
    PLEASE HELP ME.

    This means that the phone you have was software unlocked to use on any carrier, or hacked. When you installed the update it restored the lock that originaly came with your phone. Not much you can do now. Apple will not support hacked phones. You will need to find out the carrier your phone is locked to and see if they offer official unlocking, or start googling to see if you can find a way to unlock 4.2.

  • Router works but when security is on the laptop says that the password is not correct

    I just hooked up a WRT54G v8.0 router. My home computer uses XP and the set up went fine. I have a Mac laptop. When I go unsecured the laptop can use the network. When I set the security on, the laptop login says that the password is incorrect. I have changed the password once and nothing changed. I have triple checked the password, so I know it is correct.
    What can be causing this problem?
    THANKS
    bej

    I tried wep security and it was on the 128 setting and it did not work.
    Any other suggestions as I looked over the security settings and everything looked ok.
    I saw some old problems like this that mention maybe putting a certain sign like a $before the password on the mac. Have you ever heard of anything like that??

    You appear to have AVG installed:
    *See --> http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=173969#post_173969
    From reading on the internet, it appears that when there is a spike in memory usage, AVG "interprets" that as a memory leak, possibly caused by malware. AVG could be incorrect concerning that assumption. Maybe they are being a bit too conservative about memory usage; just my opinion.
    The decision is yours to turn off the "advisor" or leave it on.
