HP Elitebook 8560p driver update error: IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help.. 
So I tried updating/installing the latest IDT Audio driver for my Elitebook 8560p, but get this error each time:
I'm pretty sure this is because I stupidly uninstalled IDT soon after getting the laptop.. I did this because I use a seperate audio interface for recording music and didn't want any conflicts. I didn't realize uninstalling this would disable the internal audio entirely (and irreversibly it seems)! My audio still works when I connect my external audio interface, but this is quite annoying as I have to bring the interface with me everywhere, like I can't just watch a Youtube video and listen through internal speaker OR headphone output..I have to hook it up to my interface each time..urgh. My own fault I know, but I would have thought this driver installation package would work and put it back on my system..
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
I remember reading a thread about this eact same problem ages ago, someone had done the same thing and was having the same problem re-enabling//re-installing it. I think he managed to find a fix that worked for him that involved removing the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds, or something along those lines.. I remember trying that method by copying his instructions step-by-step, but it didn't work for me
Anyone else, or any HP tech support know any kind of fix for this? Fingers crosed.
Many thanks for any help or advice in advance!

  • IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver problem after windows 8.1 update 1.

    Hello. I have HP Probook 4730s. After I installed Windows 8.1 update 1 the sound driver stopped working properly. When I want to play some music, video or even system sounds, sound appears after 1-2 minutes. At that time HDD usage is 100% cause of windows audio device graph isolation. I’ve installed that IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver from HP’s driver support site, but that’s not working. As I see in device manager driver’s release date is 24.10.2012. I think, it’s too old for Windows 8.1. Can you help me? Is there any other newer version of that sound driver? Also I’m sending two pictures where are HDD usage and driver release date.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at:

  • Windows 8.1 IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver

    I was cleaning up my programs and accidently uninstalled  IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver. This caused my Beats audio to be uninstalled as well.  Is there a way i can get it back? I have tried installing  IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver from Hp links but it keeps saying "The hardware detected is not supported by this IDT software package. The install will be aborted." Please help.

    Hi,
    Version 6491 is newer than 6486.
    You should have the Beats audio applet in control Panel. The driver includes the Beats audio software. You should have full functionality. Reboot your system and check Control Panel.
    My system is a fairly new HP Envy 810-150se. The latest IDT audio codec for my system is 6486.
    Where did you obtain Beats version 6491?

    The IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver for the HP ENVY 15-j121tx Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR) is not compatable with Windows 10 Tech Preview, if you install this driver it will make the microphone inoperatable, If you just use the windows driver the microphone works perfectly. Can HP get onto this issue & make it compatable with Windows 10 please.

  • IDT High-Definition HD Audio Beats Audio

    Hi,
    My Pavillion DV7 6B51EA recently had to be restored and I have slowly been working through the issues that this has presented.
    However 2 issues persist but the one that is giving me the most grief is that I can no longer use my bluetooth receiver that is connected to my stereo and I believe that IDT is at fault.
    The CSR software says the 2 items have paired/sinked, the AZIO APTX Bluetooth dongle displays activity that confirms that data is being transmitted and the MASS Audio Bluetooth remains active confirming that is receiving data (it goes into standby if it doesn't receive data and works faultlessly with my iphone and ipad.
    Currently the laptop speakers do not mute handing over the functionality to wireless side of the laptop.
    There are 3 drivers on my laptop with regards to IDT
    High Definition Audio Device - Does not contain BEATS Audio
    IDT High Definition Audio Codec Version 6.10.6329.0 - contains BEATS Audio but the slide controls do not work
    IDT High Definition Audio Codec Version 6.10.6381.0 - contains BEATS Audio but the slide controls do not work
    I have downloaded other IDT drivers following the instructions as given but again they do not work or fail due to not being compatible with the hardware.
    It would appear that I have to find the exact driver for the DV7 6B51EA that may have been downloaded as an update or find a copy of the existing drivers with full functionality but where can they be found for a 4 year old laptop or have I ignored another possibility entirely ?

    Did you do a restore or a recovery?
    You can install the original drivers using the recovery manager. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
    If that did not overcome the difficulty, I suggest you do a full recovery back to factory.
    HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    Once that is complete then run the  HP Support Assistant   to acquire any HP updates.
    During the recovery there will be an option to backup your personal files to prevent data loss.  If you have not done one now would be the perfect time.

  • IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver not installing

    HP Support Assistant asked me to update the drivers and programs and I did so. However, I didn't have time to update all so I updated only a few and restarted my notebook to install them. The IDT HD Audio Driver needed to be updated as all audio stopped playing due to this. I tried downloading the Audio Driver thrice but it would never get installed. It would simply download and installation would fail. Now I can't listen to any audio file. Thanks for the help.

  • My Internal Microphone Array (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) is not working

    Hi,
    My Internal Microphone Array (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) is not working.

    I have already tried everything but still I'm not able to fix the problem.
    Could you please advice me what to do?
    Could you please provide me with a link with the drivers I may need to reinstall.
    My computer is HP, Windos 8.1, 64-bit operating system, Intel i-7 processor.
    I would really appreciate your quick answer to resolve this issue.
    Many thanks,

    Hey,
    Try installing this driver: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
    If that fails, try using the HP Recovery Manager to roll back to the factory installed driver.
    Test after both. Let me know if either option worked.

  • Idt high definition audio CODEC error (39)

    HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC - operating on Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
    HP support assistant reads:
    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - Error (39) - Driver stwrt64.sys - version 6.10.6047.5
    Recently uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and now when i open it says "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" and wont play songs

    Thanks billaboard for your response.
    Unfortunately, I gave up waiting for an answer and just re-set the laptop back to factory specs.... then spent the next 8 hours re-installing programs & updating windows & the HP programs to the current versions.
    I won't be using an NCH product again.
    In terms of who I should be asking, I would point out:
    I used the inbuilt HP Support Assistant on my laptop, to diagnose why my sound wasn't working.  It identified the drivers that were at issue.
    I uninstalled all NCH programs
    I downloaded the correct HP Audio drivers & reinstalled them.  They advised it was a successful install.  8 times.
    Each time I rebooted, I would run the HP Support Assistant again and it would then identify that the HP drivers were not working.
    The HP Support Assistant link, for further help, led me here.  If this isn't the correct place to ask for help.... a site labelled "HP Support Forum", then where the hell is ?
    Thankyou again for your response.  If I have further issues with other programs, I will follow your advise and re-install the offending program, before un-installing.

  • Windows 10 IDT High Definition Audio Codec doesn't work properly on Hp Envy 20d001-la after update

     I'm using a Windows 10 just updated pc, Hp Envy 20 d001la,  and I'm having problems with my speakers, they work with  IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver. It has beatsAudio available, but the bass don't sound the right way, I can barely hear it. It has a low quality sound...  the worst quality. This problem isn't new for me, when upgraded to Windows 8.1, also the problem apeared, when the driver released with a new version, specificly for Windows 8.1, but how did I solve it? I only installed the Original Audio Controller found on Hp Support & drivers page (It was designed for work on Windows 8 64 bits). So, I know Windows 10 is newer than ever, and sure of some bugs or little corrections after updating. But when I try to install the Windows 8 Original controller to get the extreme sound quality again, it can't be installed. The problem says: "Operating system doesn't has the requirements" The new drivers have low sound quality (driver Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 versions) If I could install the Windows 8 version driver, I'm sure the sound quality returns. Thanks in advance.

    Hi!  Thanks a lot, I've tried the solution you've given me, (extracted the setup file with winrar on a folder and search for the driver as you said) but an error message shows: "There are not compatible drivers on the selected folder, try with one for Windows x64" It happens with both drivers I have, W8 & W8.1 versions. And also I have other problem, I didn't connect the headphones when trying solving the problem, and when I connected them, a surprise: The speakers didn't shutdown, they continue playing sounds and the headphones and speakers were playing sound at the same time. I've checked for the internal connector and The connector is clean. Then I tried to install W8.0 IDT setup manually clicking on the files extracted, the process finished succesfully, and system restarted, the sound quality came again, but still when I connect the headphones, the speakers don't shutdown and sometimes music stops. The problem is with all versions of driver I tried, the W10 got by Windows update, the found on Device Manager, the W8 , W8.1installed manually, But not worked.I hope in a future upade the problem could be solved, because I listen to music always only on headphones to avoid disturb others. Thanks, I'm trying a new method if is kanown for you. Thanks a lot.

  • No Sound after updating IDT High Definition Audio Codec on my HP Pavilion dv6-6154tx laptop

    I recently ran Advanced Driver Update to check and updated my audio driver (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) on my Windows 7 laptop. However, after the update, every time I boot up the computer, there is no audio output. I checked the volume control options and they are all fine, showing "all devices are playing sound". But there is no sound. Even the 'test sound' option does not play any audio, although the computer says that it is working fine. I read some posts on this forum and came across an answer - to uninstall the current driver from Device Manager, and manually install IDT HD Audio Driver for Windows. This works and I am able to get back the sound. However, I have to do this every time I start my computer after shutting it down, and this is proving cumbersome. Can somebody please help me with this and suggest a solution? Thanks.

    Hi @Harkri ,

  • System loses the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver ver 6.10.6491.0 after some time

    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC 6.10.6491.0 installed in our HP Envy Notebook - C8U19AV with Windows Pro 8.1 64 bit OS, the system will lose the driver. When I go into device manager it appears that the codecs are there but the driver for the audio just gets lost. We have to repeatedly uninstall all the audio components and then reinstall again. This has been the situation for some time. I cannot say for sure but I have reinstalled the driver twice now for my wife and she has done it a few times. We commonly use the laptop connected to an HP2710m display monitor with an HDMI cable. From time to time we plug in Bose headphones as well. The diver revision 6.10.6491.0 was again installed today after fully uninstalling the prior driver. The common signature is the sound does not work at some point and when I go in and check on the audio codec it will report no driver loaded. Any attempt to run the sp63407 install package without ripping out everything will result in the driver install failing as some of the prior files will has security that prevents the over write of the old files with the new ones.
    I can seen no obvious reason for this laptop to repeatedly lose the driver. Once the reinstall is done the sound works again but it is a real bother to have to repeatedly reinstall the audio driver.

    Hey purplefacemcgee,
    With your issue being for Windows 7, and not for Windows 8.1, the troubleshooting steps will be a little bit different. I would first suggest reinstalling your original sound drivers. I have included the document 'Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)', please click on the option for Hardware Driver Reinstallation, and follow through the steps for reinstalling your original sound driver only.
    Now once you have installed the original driver, you will need update your sound drivers. You can do both the Windows, and HP updates that are recommended for your notebook from the HP Support Assistant. I have included the document 'Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7, Windows Vista)', Please click on the option for Maintaining your computer and installing the latest software updates. Pretty much once you do have the HP Support Assistant open click on Maintain, and then Software Updates. Please install all updates that are listed. After the updates have been installed, please restart your notebook, and test the sound.
    If by chance you are still experiencing the same issue, I would suggest running the Microsoft Fix It tool for 'Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems'. This tool will check the settings, drivers, and services to make sure that it is running correctly, and try to fix any issues. Please follow through these steps to run the tool, click on the green Run now button > click Save > open the download > click Run. What was the outcome of the tool, are you still experiencing the same issue with the sound?
    If you are still experiencing the sound issue after the above troubleshooting steps, please let me know exactly what is happening with your sound. (ie, no sound, sound is choppy, or distorted). Does the sound issue occur in multiple programs, or just one? (ie. Windows Media Player, YouTube, or CD/DVD).
    Looking forward to working with you!
