HP-HDX 18t w/ Vista 32 won't retain default sound source after sleeping

That about sums it up. It's a brand new HP HDX 18t laptop running Vista32. It's setup with HDMI to our flat-panel TV and we have a Turtle Beach Audio Advantage-Micro usb card so we can use the SPDIF digital audio passthrough to get the 5-1 dolby sound to the surround sound receiver. It all works as it should playing Blu-Ray DVDs as well as any other sound... no problem. If we completely shutdown and then turn it back on it's fine. But if we put it into sleep or hibernate mode instead, then it loses the default sound source setting we've chosen (SPDIF) and we have to manually reselect it. Same thing if we disconnect it entirely. But that makes some sense and we don't plan to do that a lot so it's not as big a deal.
Thanks for any insights.
I hope I've provided enough info.

I have the macbook pro 13 inch 2,66 Ghz april 2010 model.
I can't get my headphones to work in Windows 7, 64 bit(bootcamp). It seems like the cirrus logic CS 206 A (AB13)drivers are the problem.
I have installed the latest drivers, have set the headphones to standard audio device (I don't know how you call that option in english as my windows is dutch). I also disabled the macbook speakers, the digital audio device and nothing seems to work. I can play music through my macbook but can't play it through my headphones. In mac osx there is no problem at all doing this, the problem is only in windodws 7.
It's very annoying because I would like to play some games.
And yes I've installed the 64 bit drivers.

Messages won't connect to AIM network after sleep. What's up with this?

I am having some problems with Messages. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday and I have found out that after my Mac Mini (Mid 2011 model) goes to sleep, Messages refuses to connect to the AIM network. I used to have a similar problem with iChat, but I was usually able to get it to connect again by turning the WiFi on on my Mac. (I use and Ethernet cable to connect to the wireless router.) However, that does not work with Messages. The only way I have found to be able to connect is to restart the computer. Any ideas?

Mute Button Light Not Working, HP HDX 18t

I just reloaded my HP HDX 18t series notebook and everything works flawless w/ Windows 7 Ultimate, but whenever I mute the system, the light does not turn red like it's supposed to. Quick Launch buttons drivers are installed and everything. What do I do to fix this?
Also, it's red when I boot the PC, but when it loads Windows it goes to white and will not turn red. Thank for the help.

Same problem on my DV3T-2000 CTO after Vista to Windows 7 upgrade. Updating IDT audio driver fixed it. Windows Update and HP Support Assistant did not find that update, but HP Customer Care - Software & Driver Downloads did.

Hi!! You should try the recovery feature in W7. Some times it can be accessed through safe mode. On my model it's easier to use the system repair disc. You can find out how to create that here.

PS Some day I'm going to convince staff to make a sticky of these things; which would cut their work in half, but then I wouldn't have any thing to do.
Here's what the recovery looks like. You have 5 options to help you. The Dos option can really help if you are familiar with Dos. In Dos you can do a chkdsk---sfc /scannow--- and a whole lot more. Start with the Repair option first and work your way down.

Hdx 18t GPU: How hot is too hot?

Hello,
I have a HDX 18t i bought off a friend. I noticed that while playing games (WoW, starcraft 2), the GPU gets pretty hot... i have maxed out at 79 degrees C which is crazy hot. I have heard however, that laptop GPUs tend to run hotter, wanted to get an idea of what is considered really hot. I called HP support, and they said they can run up to 90 degrees C without issue, so this is ok. Can a gpu run this hot and still be ok? My desktop GPU rarely runs above 60 degrees C.
Note that the laptop doesnt restart while playing (yet) but i rarely play continously for an hour. Also, I have one of those zalaman NC2000 laptop coolers, but doesnt really seem to help the hot GPU issue.

Can HP HDX-18t, 1200 premium series laptop support Sata 3?

Hello, newbie here. I have several HDX-18t's, all of which are 1200 premium series. Been looking to upgrade Hdd's to Seagate Momentous XT 500GB (hybrid drives) which require SATA2 support. I believe existing chipset supports SATA2. However, I'm also looking at Momentous XT 750GB (hybrid); however, this requires SATA3 support. Anyone have experience with upgrading their HDX-18t's to Either of these two drives. Any and al info would be appreciated. THX

Hi,
Your laptop supports SATA 3.0 (SATA II) connection so the 500GB hybrid should be fine. You may also use the other one but it will work only at SATA II (3Gbps) speed (like a SATA II hdd)..

Supposed "Surround Sound" on HP HDX 18T Notebook

I purchased an HP HDX 18T notebook several weeks ago. The sound when I played DVDs was terrible, virtually inaudible when I was sitting only three feet away. I returned it for a replacement. The new laptop is much louder but it is still far from offering the "surround sound" I was promised in the company's advertising. Is there any way of enhancing the volume of the speakers when I play DVDs? Is this an manufacturing flaw in this series of laptops? I have owned much cheaper versions of HP notebooks and they have had much better sound systems than this much touted "entertainment center." <text deleted>
Thank you.

I find that all that so-called "surround sound" on a laptop does nothing but make the volume lower. If you want to watch a movie with better sound, it's best to use a home theater setup, or at least a good set of powered external speakers on your computer.
The problem is that computer makers fall over themselves to provide sound features that seem good on paper...but not in real life.
Thje way I got around this problem is by downloading Media Player Classic (available at Afterdawn.com). It doesn't even have to be installed. Just run the program, and click file, open DVD. The movie will play in glorious (loud) stereo...as long as you have another DVD playing program on the computer to supply the codec. After all, what good is 7.1 surround, if you can't hear the dialogue?

IMac won't allow me to login after few hours

Hi everyone...
My iMac won't allow me to login after few hours. Actually I had a limited broadband connection which is free from 2AM to 8AM. So I have scheduled some downloads to start at 2AM and end at 8AM. Before going to bed, I just put on the screen saver. When I wake early in the morning and move my mouse.. blank screen turns on and colorful spinning wheel appears, but log-in window doesn't appear. This has happened thrice till now. Day before yesterday it was fine. But yesterday and today I got the same problem. Previously also it was working fine. I can't figure out why it is behaving like this...
Initially, in Power save options, I scheduled iMac to wake up at 2AM and sleep at 8AM and then used to put iMac to sleep before going to bed. It was working fine and did the same thing for more than a month. Now I have removed wakeup & sleep scheduled options from Power save options.
Following are the settings/options selected:
1. In energy save options, I have selected the option not to put iMac to sleep when it is inactive for certain time.
2. Put hard-disks to sleep whenever possible is checked.
3. I have scheduled the downloads in Azureus, Transmission and Speed download 5.
Following are the temps and rpms:
Temps:
HD: iMac, Vista: 124 F
CPU A: 117
Airport Card: 151 F
Ambient: 83 F
GPU: 133 F

HD Bay1: 124 F

Optical Drive: 110 F
Power supply1: 162 F
Fans:
CPU Fan: 1198 rpm
Hard Drive: 1199rpm
Optical Drive: 998rpm
One more thing, recently I have reset the SMU because it is taking too long to boot up. To my surprise, after restarting, fan (not sure which one) started to make bigger sounds. I then had to reset SMU two times and only then fan started to spin normally without any noise. I'm scared & worried...
Someone please help me where I went wrong.... what can I do to solve this problem..
You know I purchased this iMac for Rs.86000/- INR ($2097 approx.) ... after two months they slashed the prices by Rs.20000/- INR($487 approx.)... so this is how my luck seems to be

Hello and sorry. First, if you reset the SMU. make sure you do not hold the power button down while reconnecting the cable or it will reset the SMC incorrectly.
When you say you are logging in, are you logging onto the internet, or onto the computer/user account?
If it is intermittent than it sounds like your internet and that would be best handled by your internet provider first.

Than click on the System Preferences

Then click on Assist Me.
Then Assistant
Maybe call it Test Location
go through the steps involved and see the outcome.

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
I have tried these:
1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
Thoughts and suggestions?
Solved!

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
"Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
So you can rule that out.

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update

My ical won't sync with iPhone 4 after IOS 6.0.1 update. The "sync calendars" option is no longer available after I installed this update. Any ideas???I have tried a few times to sync, and nothing has changed on my calendars. I have had so many troubles with this update. Grrr...

I tried the same but it did not worked. But, i got a solution. I accessed gmail on my laptop. Went to gmail settings. There is a option to add a device. A iPhone was already listed. I clicked Revoke to remove it. Then i clicked add new device and gave it iPhone name and a new 16-20 character password was geenrated. I used it to configure gmail on my Iphone and it worked beautifully. So glad i have been able to fix this. That password is a one time password to authenticate that device.
