HP Digital Stereo Headset Not Detected

Recently my HP Digital Stereo Headset (Model) VT501AA stopped being detected by my HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC after upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I have tried plugging the headset into all four USB ports on the notebook with negative results. The headset is still working as I am able to use it on another netbook PC that I have. Any ideas on how to get this headset working again would be great!

Hi, Boomer73.
I've been experiencing the same problem with my HP Digital Stereo Headset (Model) VT501AA on my HP ENVY TouchSmart m6 Sleekbook. I never used the headset before upgrading to Windows 8.1, but now I can see just there is where the problem lies.
I'd be great if somebody could help us to troubleshoot this issue.

  • Adobe Digital Editions does not detect my e-reader

    Can anyone help please? My Adobe Digital Editions does not detect my Sony e-reader and does not appear in my bookshelves. My laptop detects the device without any issues but Adobe does not - I have re-installed twice but still the same.

    Re-installing is not the answer.  Most likely, the issue is either the
    sequence of events that you go through, whether the SONY ereader is
    supported and whether it is registered properly.  Let me go through these in
    reverse order.  I am assuming (dangerous) that the SONY is 'new to you'.  If
    not, then please accept my apologies.
    You start with making sure that the SONY ereader is supported by Adobe
    Digital Editions (ADE from now on).  Check the list of supported devices
    HERE <http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/supported-devices>.  If it
    is, then you know that the rest of the process should work.
    Next, attach the ereader to your computer.  Let's assume a Windows
    machine: plug it into a USB port and wait for Windows to recognise it and
    tell you your hardware is ready to use.  If you've done this before, check
    that Windows has added your ereader as a device by going to My Computer and
    looking at the disk drives.  Your ereader should show up.  Then, if you
    haven't registered the ereader with SONY, you should go to their website.
    It will look for attached ereaders and confirm that it finds yours.
    Register it with SONY, using your Adobe ID and password.  SONY will then
    write a small record onto the ereader, which ADE needs to see.  Close the
    SONY website.
    Next, bring up ADE.  If all is well, ADE will recognise your ereader and it
    will show up on your bookshelf.  If there's a problem with the ereader, ADE
    will tell you that, and we can go from there.
    If all is well, you can transfer your ebooks via drag and drop.  When you're
    done, close ADE, but don't disconnect your SONY until it tells you it's
    finished updating itself.  THEN eject it via My Computer or the small icon
    in the system tray at the bottom right of the screen.
    Hope this helps!

  • Stereo Headsets not always compatible?

    I recently purchased a Jabra headset that plugs into my palm and has the capability to switch from music to incoming calls.  Its specifically a stereo headset, problem is only one side produces sound.  I dont understand that is something is specifically a cell phone stereo headset, why only one side working?  Is it possible that Jabra isnt compatible?  I returned the first pair thinking it was defective, but I recieved my replacement and its doing the same.  I recieved it new from a 3rd party seller and I tried looking on Jabras website, but my model doesnt even exist to them.  What can I do to fix this????
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

    It is probably not compatible if they don't have the Treo model number on their website.
    I would suggest using a Palm 2in1 pro headset. Here is a link to the Palm website for the headset. This is designed to work with Palm devices.

  • Headset Not detected

    in my lumia 720 when i insert the headphone it was not getting detect wgat to do for that

    Hi, AMPillai.
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions board.
    Are you using the headset that came with your Lumia 720? In addition to @93tid's reply, is the headset being recognized when it's inserted into another phone? Are you getting the same result when using other American Headset Jack (AHJ) headsets? Have you tried pressing and holding both the volume down and the power buttons for 15 seconds? The phone should reboot.
    We look forward to your reply. 

  • Headset not detected in Windows 7

    Hi everyone!
    I'm having annoying problem with my Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OS. It doesn't recognize my headset even though it's plugged to the rear panel of my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card. It however detects the microphone properly. In playback devices speakers are set on default and there is no option to make headphones as default playback device.
    My headset is Seinheisser PC-5 and it worked perfectly in Win XP. It's supposed to be plug-and-play. I really expected newer OS to be more user friendly in terms of configuration. I have updated sound card's drivers to the latest available (even Windows update says it's the newest available). Is there any way to fix this? Sounds are so messed up now, it's impossible to play or listen anything.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Ok the SMC / PRAM process works to revover the headphone on OSX Lion, pfiou!
    I try under Windows 7 now & let you know
    FYI :
    Reset the SMC > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Then the PRAM >  About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.

  • Bluetooth headset not detected.

    Hi there,
    I am running Windows 7 via Bootcamp on a 13 inch macbook Pro (2.53GHz).
    Just bought a bluetooth headset, a Samsung WEP 250. When i launch 'add a device' the bluetooth device does not even show up on the list. Can't get it to connect with the os x either. Any solution?
    Thanks...

    Just a quick update, in case others are having trouble pairing this headset. I followed these instructions to reset, and it worked:
    1. Make sure the headset is off.
    2. Hold down action key until white indicator light starts flashing and red/green light on the earpiece flashes red and green.
    3. Hold down action key until headset switches off and the white indicator light flashes (it will flash once).

  • Logitech USB headset not detected

    When I run lsusb | grep Headset, it shows that the usb headset is plugged in(grep audio did not work).
    Sample output:
    Bus 002 Device 005: ID 046d:0a0c Logitech, Inc. Clear Chat Comfort USB Headset
    But here's the problem, when I execute aplay -l, it gives me no sound cards found, though I even have a intel intergrated audio sound card.
    I have gnome installed, so it uses pulseaudio, so I can't use alsamixer, but is I go into sound settings, it only says dummy output.
    Other things to note:
    - Do not have gnome-extra installed
    - Have extra gst media codects
    Thanks in advance,

  • Adobe Digital Editions not detecting device

    My Adobe Digital Editions is not detecting my NOOK tablet.  Please help

    Unlike dedicated eReaders, most tablets are not recognized by ADE.
    You need to install and Adobe DRM compatible app such as Blufire on the tablet,
    and copy files using a file manager.
    ~~~
    Another possibility is a bug in ADE2.0, which is strippy with some devices.
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • Stereo Headset

    I have a Centro from Verizon Wireless and have purchesed two different headsets and neither one works with pTunes. I can only here out of the left earbud. I'm wondering if I should just buy an adapter and use regular headphones and if that will even work? Please Help, Thanks. 
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Alternately you may have been given stereo headsets not compatible with Centro.
    I think Tribbles got it in one.
    I have a pair of headphones I got from Verizon and they have that same problem of sound only coming from one ear. (I know why this is, but it's probably more than you want to know and I'm not sure I can explain it clearly anyway.)
    On the other hand, I have a couple of 2.5mm-to-3.5mm adapters that I've used with other phones and they work perfectly with any regular headphones or earbuds you might find. One of these adapters is a super-cheapie one ($5 at Best Buy, I think) but I like it because it's retractable so no loose wires to tangle in my purse. I've always preferred the option of choosing whatever headphones I liked instead of being tied into whatever overpriced option Verizon might offer.

  • Nokia Stereo Headset WH-205 buttons not working in...

    I couldn't get Nokia Stereo Headset WH-205 buttons working in Music player.
    Anyone know how to enable the buttons on the headset. I want to use the play/stop/FW/BW buttons on the headset
    Many thanks again

    You'll be thoroughly thrilled to know that the N900 does not support complex headsets..
    I have a pair of BH905 nokia headphones, frequently shown in official N900 videos being used with a cable..
    Unfortunately when plugged into the phone using the cable, the buttons do not work.. in fact I don't believe you can use it has a headset via the cable..
    Via bluetooth however, they work marginally better (the headphones crash)
    Apparently headset support was removed in favor of TV out.. so head sets with multiple buttons just don't work..
    I believe the only headsets that actually work as expected are the ones that ship with the n900..
    I must admit, for all its faults, this was the one thing that irritated me most about this incredible media rich by peripheral crippled phone!
    Bad luck, I'm afraid!

  • Stereo Headset (HS-47) not working on Nokia 6650 (...

    The manual claims the 2.5mm connector on the phone is for a combatible stereo headset. The Nokia US website does not indicate any compatible headset. The manual does show a HS-47 headset as an accessory. I ordered a HS-47 with the result that only one (the right) speaker works. I returned the HS and received a replacement. Same problem. Is there a setting in the phone that enables the second channel? What did AT&T do to this Phone??? First they took the FM radio out, now you can't even listen to music (it is a music phone) on a stereo headset?

    I haven't given up yet.   Here's what Nokia tech support said:
    Although it is not listed on the web address I am sure that the Nokia Hs-49 wired headset will function properly with your Nokia 6650
    Armed with that information, I looked up all compatible phones with the HS-49 headset, since my real goal is to find a working adapter for the Nokia 6650 Fold.
    The HDA-11 2.5mm to 2.5mm TTY adapter apparently is compatible with the Nokia 6650 Fold.  Nokia Tech Support says when queried specifically about this adapter.
    "I am pleased to advise you that our Nokia HDA-11 Adapter is compatible with your Nokia 6650 Fold."  
    My real goal, however, is to be able to use my Sennheiser headphones (3.5mm jack) with this phone.
    Googling the HDA-11 has produced this thread on AT&T:
    http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=nokia&message.id=48856
    Note that the HDA-11 doesn't do the 2.5mm to 3.5mm job directly, it just provides a 2.5mm jack that you can ostensibly plug a 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter into.  Since I already have one of these (I bought it when I bought the phone naively thinking that it would allow me to use my headphones) , I've ordered the HDA-11 and will see if the thread listed above also applies to the 6650 Fold. 
    It's amazing to me that Nokia doesn't provide any way to adapt a standard 3.5mm headphone to this jack.
    It's also incredible that they list virtually nothing compatible with the headphone jack on this phone on their website.
    Equally frustrating is that Nokia seems to have no interest in fixing any of the above. 
    Stay tuned to this thread.  I'll let y'all know when I get the HDA-11 jack + the 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter lets me use my headphones with this poor excuse for a music phone.

  • Sound card not detecting digital cab

    I'm having a problem getting the digital out to work on my X-Fi Gamer. I purchased the card and also the breakout box that provides s/pdif i/o via coax and digital through the /8 jack. I connect it via an optical cable to my surround receiver. I've installed all the proper software, etc, and I can get absolutely no sound.
    My thought is that the card is not detecting my optical connection. In the "flexijack" options everything is grayed out and I cannot choose digital at all. In speaker set up it has the analog connections marked at plugged in (with cords coming out) and not the flexijack connection. Only the flexijack is plugged in on the card, though. Per other posts on the boards I've made sure no other sound devices are set as default, and my onboard sound is disabled completely. I'm using a creative approved adapter (the digital i/o box) with a working cable, and working receiver. Any help would be really appreciated.
    I'm running windows Media Center XP 2005, by the way.

    Hey MrE, did you ever get this issue sorted?
    I had exactly the same symptoms recently with my new system build, and it ended up being caused by a conflict with my video card.  When I booted the system using the motherboards onboard video, my ice1712 card would then be detected by ALSA and worked as it should.
    I ended up moving my video card to the 2nd / bottom PCI-E on my motherboard and this got around the issue
