HP Assistant upgrade/BIOS upgrade--now I have no sound

I have the HP dv4-4032nr.  After installing the HP Assistant weekly upgrade, and a BIOS upgrade, I have no sound.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55045.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, 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 - check if you now have audio.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services.  Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type',  select Automatic and click Apply to save the change.  Then click the Start button.
Regards,
DP-K

  • I just allowed HP Assistant to update and now I have no sound - HP Pav dv7

    * HP Pavilion dv7-6b78us Entertainment PC with CORE i7 Intel processor
    * Windows 7
    * The subject says it all.  If I load a sound file into Windows Media Player, it literally responds with an error message that says something went wrong.  Trying to view a streaming video on any news channel or YouTube results in great video without sound.
    * HP Assistant told me an update was avaialbe and I allowed it do a BIOS update along with other updates.  It worked fine before the update.

    Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
    1-remove power cord and battery
    2-press power button for 30 seconds
    3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
    4-power on

  • Just updated to IOS7,  now I have no sound.  Checked settings etc, and still no sound,,, Help!

    I just updated my iPad to IOS7, and now I have no sound.

    Couple of things to check here, firstly is your volume turned all the way down, obvious I know but worth checking.
    If you go to the Settings>Sounds screen and adjust the volume do you hear anything while moving the volume control?

    *using the Menu Bar: View > Toolbars > Custonize
    *HOLD down the ALT key while pressing the keyboard letters VTC

  • HT4623 my iphone4 updated to ios6.0.1 and now i have no sounds at all on any of my apps.  What is going on and how can i fix it?

    My iphone 4 updated to ios6.0.1 and now i have no sound in any of my apps? how do i fix this?

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself. See if better. If still problem, Restore iPhone with iTunes 10.7 or 11 on computer. See if better, if not and there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean iPhone Charging Port with clean dry toothbrush. See if better, if not, clean again with small amount of Isopropyll Alcohol.

  • Upgraded to Windows 10 now I have no sound

    I did the free home upgrade to Windows 10 and now the hardware has changed.  
    I have a different audio which "it" says is working fine but I have no sound at all.  Nothing, Nada, Zip. I cannot find the 'control panel' to even begin to try to work it back, nor do I appear to have the original sound hardware loaded.  
    ARGGGGHHHH  
    Help.
    I wish I'd never done the upgrade.
    Also, is there a touchscreen driver so I can use my probook with windows 10 or am I still stuck with the mouse.

    I have the exact same problem. I bought an HP Pavilion All-in-One -23-q014 (Touch) yesterday and installed the free upgrade to Windows 10 during the installation process. Everything seems to be working fine, except I have NO sound at all. I already updated the Realtek driver through the Device manager and Windows says its up to date and working fine, but still NO sound. Please help. 

  • I accidentally uninstalled the audio program that came with the computer many years ago. Now I have no sound at all on the computer and can't get it back without a CD apparently - but I have none.

    Can I reinstall an audio program that I accidentally removed? Does Firefox have an audio program I can use instead?

    VLC is a great, Free, player -> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
    But changes are if you have no sound, you did more than uninstall a player, you uninstalled the driver....

  • I downloaded the newest version of itunes now i have no sound on my computer

    I tried doing a system restore prior to the update as well as uninstalling and restalling the software but i still have no sound anywhere on my computer

    Go to your applications folder and start iTunes from there.  If that works you need to drag the application to the Dock.

  • "exchange upgrade" now i have 67% packet loss 24...

    Following my local exchanges "upgrade" on the 26th of January, my internet is a complete waste of time, my IP profile has been cut in half, and i have had 60-67% packet loss no matter what time of day.
    Exchange is Hertford.
    Loading even Google takes 3 or 4 refreshes.
    "Customer service" in India seem to think the problem can be resolved if I renew my contract. Yeah right!!
    So if this is a "care" forum, where is the care for me?

    Having finally established that my packet loss was occuring from a BT server and despite over ten hours of calls to "customer help" in India, being repeatedly lied to, fobbed off, and read a script.
    I finally got through to a very surprised somebody at BT wholesale who took the issue seriously, having spent over 13 days trying to get action, it got resolved in a day!
    My packet loss ceased, however the reset to half IP profile remained, as did my throttled service, to the point I may as well have been on dial up, well I had, had enough!
    I requested a MAC code and despite it taking 17 days to get it, not the 5 days as required by Ofcom, I am now free of BT.
    My IP profile is reset to where it should be, my service is no longer throttled, and I am now paying only £5.99 a month with plusnet, for the service BT should have been giving me, my line rental is cheaper too.
    BT have been a waste of space throughout this whole episode, with the exception of one guy at BT wholesale who was shocked I had managed to get hold of his number, and to give him credit intervened on my behalf when he didn't have too.
    BT customer service in India is an absolute disgrace, they work from scripts, lie, obfuscate, prevaricate, are not knowledgeable on any subject, other than contract renewal.
    I would rather die a slow and painful death than ever go back.
    If you need to check your own line....you can ping it yourself to check for packet loss.
    Ping, "pingtest.bt.net" and then traceroute each hop to see where your problem is occuring.
    Doing a  "whois" on the "bad" hop's IP should give you a "real" world phone number for someone at BT wholesale to plead with.

  • Upgraded to 10.4.0.80 now i have no sound

    I just upgraded to 10.4.0.80 and now my sound is not working at all. I did try to go to another application but the sound is not working there either. volume is turned up to high on computor and applications. Tried windows media player and no sound there either. Is there anyway to fix this or contact an apple rep to help troubleshoot?

    I am having the same issue. My sound, video, game controller is totally gone. This was the last thing I updated.

  • Just bought HD upgrade, now I have to buy 3.5 update?!

    Someone please clearify!
    I just bought the upgrade from Express 2.0 to HD. Does this upgrade include the update from 3.0.1 to 3.5? Do I have to purchase this update or is it free?
    Trevor
    MA200LL 20" Imac Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    FCE-HD v3.0 and FCE-HD v3.5 were separate product releases of Final Cut Express. As such, the Upgrade between them has a price.
    Updates are different. They can be downloaded free from the Apple website. But they only update software within a release level (for example, from 3.0 to 3.0.1 or from 3.5 to 3.5.1 ... but NOT from 3.0.1 to 3.5).
    There is an FCE-HD v3.5 Upgrade package available from Apple and it allows you to Upgrade from any previous version including FCE-2. There was no need to buy the v3.0 Upgrade as an intermediate step between FCE-2 and FCE-HD 3.5.
    I'd suggest returning the v3.0 upgrade you just bought, if possible, and purchase the v3.5 Upgrade instead. If you can't return it and you really want v3.5 then you're stuck having to buy the v3.5 Upgrade in addition.
