Hp media center m7350n video port on motherboard

I'm having problems with the video card on the HP Media Center m7350n.  The picture on the web site shows that there is a motherboard video port, but I don't see it on the machine that I have.  There seems to be 25-pin port, possibly printer, in that location.  Am I looking in the correct place?  Thanks, JLHSCTX

Hi,
Please review the specifications for the HP m7350n PC.  The motherboard in your PC does not have an integrated graphics processor.

  • Widows Media Center (msn video player) 'Video Error' box

    Hi
    I believe this is a know problem, which is needs an updated to fix the software / player. Is there one on the way?
    When I try to play an internet video in Widows Media Center (msn video player) I get 'Video Error' box (blue box in right hand corner) saying 'There was a problem accessing this video. Try viewing a different one'. The video does play, but with the error message over it. When you click the okay option in the blue box the video stops playing. This happens on every video I select.
    I've reinstalled Windows Media Center, run all updates and updated flash. Knowhow.com advise that this is a known problem with no solution, and needs an update to fix it. Can you find out when there will be a fix?

    Hi,
    According to your description, it probably there’s a conflict between how the Windows 8 HDMI drivers handle 7.1 and how Media Center handles sound.
    You can check the Windows Update, if there is any updates relate with HDMI Audio Drivers, you can install it, then this problem will began.
    Also you can go to ASRock official site to download the latest HDMI driver for test.
    If still there is no use, you may need to contact your machine manufacture for further assistance.
    In addition, because this problem relate with WMC, I would recommend you access the site below to ask the question for further help.

  • HP Media Center m7350n front head ohone jack

    the question appleis to my hp media center desktop pc m7350n. afterinstalling windows 8 preview i am not seeing the audio manager icon with which to choose the output jacks in the front of the desktop.
    This product is different from what appears above. Thanks.

    I did that. But the front desktop connectivity center is not having output still.
    When I click the "speaker" icon on toolbar, I see :speakers" and "realtek audio" as two audio playback devices.
    Both are realtek audio outputs
    But the
    The first one is outputted in rear jack next to microphone and I can hear it in monitor or head  set.
    Thanks.
    Second one when tested shows green signal as if it is outputting sound, but I cannot hear it in any of the output jacks-front or back.
    I use d to be able tp see a small window"audio manager" with all the jacks in a diagram. But I cannot see it now,.
    Thanks you.

  • Win7 media center streaming video

    Hi, not too sure if this is the right area but the closest i could locate.  First off, except for what I'm trying to do, every thing appears to be working fine.
    I'll give the hardware 1st-i have a WET610N hooked up to a HD/DVR (directv) the VOD works fine.
    A dell XPS400 hard wired to a WRT400N. The wireless computers (both G and N) connect and work fine and connects with ATT DSL fine.
    I set up the 610N using the CD and following directions(hardwired to router 1st then connected to the HD/DVR.
    All currently used computers are using Win7 (and so far working fine)
    What I'm trying to do is watch the recorded programs on the DVR on the computer(XPS400).  When I run media center it locates the DVR and even lists the recorded programs but they all have zero times listed.  If I click on one the computer appears to be downloading them, then I get a wrong file format error.  Is this saying directv stores their files in a funky format and media center can not play them?  Is there a fix for this or a different way besides media center to play them.  Haven't tried going from the computer to the tv yet but I have a feeling it'll work-I looked over (quickly) directv's media share in the HD/DVR and looks like if i have the files in the correct dir that the dvr will find them.
    Hopefully I explained what I'm trying to do-watch recorded programs from the HD/DVR on the computer.
    thanks

    as far as i know i'm up to date on the codecs.  i've beel looking and also have win updates set.
    i loaded that program and it  finds and works  with the other networked computers but it does not list the directv (media center) or list any of the computers as a media server (like win media center does)
    i saw there was a network setup in the program but have no idea what to put in the blanks.  it looks like it's more for use with the internet although it might be able to use on a personal network but i have no idea how to go about setting it up.
    i did check to see if the directv media server will work with the computers and it does(atleast the music on my desktop) 
    there is a program out there from directv called directv2pc but it checks the computer and on the dell xps400 or the hp g60-441 neither passed their test(video, although they passed the requirements for win7 -- i did have to update a video crd in a different desktop)   and i have the most current drivers on both of them.  seems like they require top of the line equiptment although these computers seem to work for other video streaming and as far as i can tell it doesn't load anything if it doesn't pass.
    i know i can't be the only one that wants to stream from the dvr to the computers  and there has to be a way to do it.

  • Touchsmart Iq506t Windows 7, Unable to acess s-video input from windows media center.

    System: Hp Touchsmart IQ506T
                  Windows 7
                  Avermedia (A327) Hybrid mini Pcie Tv Tuner (NTSC/ATSC)
    I purchase this system used without an operating system. I installed windows 7 and downloaded the drivers from Hp. All drivers are installed properly and the Avermedia (A327) mini card driver can be seen in device manager.
    Yet, the A327 tv tuner will not give me access to the s-video input. I can get tv thru the rf connection but I want to use the s-video because it has a cleaner signal.
    Any information about the s-video port will be appreciated..
    Thank you..

    Hi Cnmarsh,
    I understand you are having an issue with the Touchsmart Iq506t with  Windows 7, unable to access s-video input from Windows Media Center.
    I read from your post that drivers are installed properly and the Aver media mini card drivers are seen in device manager.
    I was wondering if the any of the drivers in Device Manager have a Yellow caution?
    Also, is the Touchsmart Iq506t software all up to date?
    You could try to download and run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tool with this link.

  • Video Playback Flicker Windows 7/8 Media Center? Disable Intel Dynamic Contrast to stop it

    If you bought a Mac Mini for use as a Windows Media Center DVR Computer like me, you'll notice a background flicker on live tv or recorded tv.
    Mine is the Mac Mini (Late 2012 Model) with Intel HD 4000 Graphics
    If you go into the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel. (icon in lower right) Go to Graphics Properties, Advanced Mode, Media, Image Enhancement, and UN-check the box for "Adaptive Contrast Enhanscement"
    Video will then be flicker free!  (aka 29/59 bug)
    Here's a video that walks you through it.
    http://youtu.be/9g6Z1sWOOIA
    Also, if you have white snow, or video blank outs their is a firmware update for the Mac Mini 2012 model itself.   I use Boot Camp, so my Mac OS X Mountain Lion side could update things when needed.  (but leave the machine running 99% of the time in Windows 8 as my DVR)

    Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner.   You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
    QAM tuners to record local channels only
    This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
    SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
    CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
    This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
    ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
    Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
    Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed.   That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

  • [Review] Intel Atom 330 / Nvidia Ion based Media Center

    I thought some of you may be interested. I've just bought a Point of View Mobii ION Mini PC to build a media center.
    There are other Nvidia ION based Mini PCs available, but there are few points that made my choice for the Point of View one:
    - Intel Atom 330 (Dual Core)
    - Mini ITX
    - 2 GB RAM
    - 320 GB HDD
    - 1 Available PCI-Express Slot (hopefully a good DVB-S(2) TV Card with CI will be available soon)
    - SPDIF / Toslink Digital Audio Out
    - 8 USB Ports (6 Back, 2 Front)
    - HDMI Out (Thought that this would be important, but more on this later), DVI, VGA
    - No CPU or Motherboard Fan
    Additionally I bought a Keysonic ACK-540BT Bluetooth Keyboard with an integrated touchpad. I added 1 GB DDR2 RAM to the PC for a total of 3 GB.
    Arch Linux worked straight out of the box, but there are a few things to note:
    - The Intel Atom 330 does NOT support Intel Speedstep, therefore no frequency scaling is possible
    - I don't want a login manager, just a straight lxde Desktop with an autostarting XBMC, but Blueman (needed for autopairing with the bluetooth keyboard) needed a ck-launch-session to get access to the bluetooth dongle (took me a while to find this out)
    - XBMC supports VDPAU out of the box if you configure it, CPU usage when playing a movie is below 20%
    - I disconnected the hdd and power LED because they are quite bright (the cabinet I use for my equipment has a glass door)
    - The Mini PC is not hearable from 0.5 meters even when hdd is working
    - HDMI Output works flawless but my SONY LCD TV is not a Full HD one but has a native resolution of 1360x768. With HDMI I could only choose between 720p (1280x720) which is too small or 1080i (1920x1080) which would be too large. I now use a standard VGA DSUB cable and get a perfectly sharp 1360x768 resolution. No need for HDMI
    Just if anyone is interested:
    - glxgears: ~2400 fps
    hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
    /dev/sda:
    Timing cached reads: 1304 MB in 2.00 seconds = 651.94 MB/sec
    Timing buffered disk reads: 358 MB in 3.00 seconds = 119.22 MB/sec
    This is the perfect media center solution for me, capable of managing more than 15.000 mp3 and m4a, a bunch of divx videos and dvd isos, 10.000 photos and hundreds of shoutcast internet radio stations. All managable with a wireless keyboard and touchpad on my Sony LCD TV. Just the tv card is missing...

    i am also working on my zotac-9300 itx. i also have the problem of get the right resolution. my tv was bought three years ago and i attached a hdmi cable to it in case some day (such as today) i will use it. however, the zotac hdmi does not work with the tv. either the tv does not detect the signal or the motherboard does not send the signal out. anyway, i use a dvi->hdmi adapter now. but the resolution is still not right. (will fix it later). the 9300 works great on h264, but somehow has trouble with the HD tv signal. although the cpu usage is low when playing those HD channels, but the frames are not smooth. i am using kaffeine to work tv. i am trying to get the vlc to work with vdpau (or vaapi) but has no luck. anyway, good to share our experience on htpc.
    ps. my board is using a internal power supply which give me some noise when the room is quiet, but it is ok when watching moives.

  • Need advice on on a Mac Pro 1,1 Media Center

    I currently have a 2009 Mac Mini running as my home media center, but I recently came by a FREE Mac Pro 1,1 and have decided to repurpose it as my media center so I can migrate my Mac Mini to my bedroom TV where it will live an easy life doing nothing but run Plex Home Theater, Netflix, and EyeTV. This machine falling into my lap was also quite timely because my 4-bay Drobo is running low on available expansion and another Drobo isn't in the budget at the moment.
    This vintage mac pro is running Lion 10.7.5, has 1 old and crusty 500GB hardrive, dual x5160 processors, 4GB RAM (one stick i'm pretty sure is toast judging by the red light and the kernel panics), and the standard NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB graphics card. It will be used primarily for the following: network storage for iphoto and itunes libraries, streaming video, Plex Media Server & Plex Home Theater, and Handbrake encoding. I also have a goal of safety of data for my movies, photos and music as this machine will supplement my current Drobo storage.
    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    Here is where I need advice because I am not very familiar with RAID and the differences between hardware or software raid. Am I better off getting four drives of the same size and setting them up as RAID 5 (I think) using Apple's RAID utility or should I throw in three 1TB drives and then install a fourth 3TB or 4TB drive as a Time Machine backup for the other three?
    Should I upgrade the OSX to the technically unsupported latest version? Or is it not worth the trouble for this application?
    Also, is there any benefit to upgrading the graphics card to the ATI Radeon 5770? Would this yield an improved image quality? I am outputting to a Denon AV Reciever and subsequently to a 100" projection screen, if that makes a difference. I also noticed the 5770 has an HDMI port, wich would be nice, but not necessary since I can use a DVI converter and woud still need to use the optical audio out anyway.
    Much obliged for any input

    My plans are for a 128GB SSD boot drive installed in one of the PCIe slots and then to load up all 4 of the 3.5" drive bays with WD Green hard drives. I have also ordered 4GB of replacement RAM, so upon removal of the faulty unit I will have 7GB.
    PCIe cards that use or support SSD are not bootable until you get to 2008 (and that is limited too).
    Green are not suited for any form of array unless say NAS and WD RED.  Better option would be 3 x 2TB WD Blacks in a mirror, and too many people only use two drives, well 3 is much easier safer and works better. Might want to invest in www.SoftRAID.com product even.
    Best price and quality, got my 1,1 with 8 x 2GB (ideal is 4 or 8 DIMMs)
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $25
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    With price of 250GB SSD $155 I'd go with that or stick with $89 for 128GB .

  • Windows Media Center on my HP TouchSmart PC won't switch channels on my attached Cable Box.

    Have a Motorola DCX3501-M DVR (cable box) connected to my HP TouchSmart PC (Win 7 64-bit) in order to view and record HDTV channels.  Problem is I can't get Windows Media Center to communicate with the cable box properly, e.g., when I select a channel to view in WMC (using the PC's remote control) it does not tell the cable box to switch to that channel.  I have the IR cable connected from the rear of the PC and affixed to the front panel of the cable box.  How can I get the cable box to work properly with this PC?

    Hello Curly2U:
               Did you connect the IR cables correctly ?http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Video-Solutions/Products/Video-CPE/All-Digital-Set-Tops/DCX3501-...  Now I look up your cable box.  Take the IR cable that is connected from p.c. IR out port and plug the other end directly into EXT IR IN port. Next to IEEE 1384 and Power  Cord ports. I really do not see how a p.c. remote can control any thing but the computer because these remotes do not have a option to add codes to them like a universal remote does. They also do not have special butons to allow you to contol other devices such as tv's or stereos and cable boxes like a universal remote does. I checked our Help and Support and did not see anything about mentioning controlling other devices.
              You might want to by pass the cable box altogether and  directly plug the cable antenna wire directly into the computer and see if it can tune in cable channels. You might not need the cable box after all. There are two antenna ports on your computer try switching the cable antenna arround. I found out  one antenna port olnly picked up one channel and when I switched the cable cable arround I was able to pick up all the channels.

  • Media Center PC m7250n hangs on Windows 7 final install phase.

    When I try to install Windows 7 (32bit) on my m7250n, the process comes to the final “Completing Installation” phase and hangs.
    The hang apparently occurs immediately after the boot-up into Win7 that commences this final phase. The progress bar just stops and holds still even after about 7 hours.
    Before doing this install, I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Adviser. The resulting report claimed the computer could handle Windows 7. The report did, however, point out that my C: drive had insufficient room left for Windows 7. No big deal for me. I planned on putting Windows 7 on a different 82GB hard drive.
    So this just meant that I had to pick the Custom Install option in the install process.
    However, the 82GB hard drive in question is connected to the computer through a PCI adapter card. Therefore, the installer requests that I give it a path to a driver for that PCI card. So I do this. It is a Vista driver. The installer accepts this and allows me to continue the install process.
    Everything works fine until the hang at the final phase.
    OK, here's the info on the computer:

    PCI IDE Adapter Card Device 1 = None
    PCI IDE Adapter Card Device 2 = IDE; Hewlett-Packard DVDRW 1035r; Drive D:/sr0
    PCI IDE Adapter Card Device 3 = None
    Since the optical drive is also attached through this PCI IDE adapter card, I cannot boot from optical drives. This means I am running the Windows 7 installation disc from within a Windows XP session, with the AutoRun option.
    The cards:
    PCIEX16 = Video Card, ATI Radeon x300se, enabled & connected to 2 monitors
    PCI1 = TV Tuner & Video Capture Card, Hauppauge WinTV PVR 26xxx, proposed future use
    PCI2 = PCI IDE Adapter Card, Promise Technology Ultra133 TX2
    PCI3 = 56K Modem, Lucent Win Modem, enabled & connected to phone line
    On board NIC enabled and connected to LAN & internet
    On board sound circuit enabled and connected to audio equipment
    So anyway, does anyone have any clues what the problem is and how to fix it?

    Thanks for the suggestions, erico.
    I made and installed from a USB thing as you suggested. While it was not the solution to my problem, it did help things go faster, I suspect.
    The real solution was to install a hard drive to a native motherboard connector, and install Windows 7 to that hard drive. Apparently, Windows 7 cannot install to a hard drive connected through a PCI adapter card, in spite of accepting a link to a driver for that adapter card and being able to copy files to it and execute most of the install process to such a hard drive.
    So yes, I did manage to install Windows 7 successfully.
    But there was a bit of a glitch. The installer did not enter Windows 7 into the windows MBR on the hard drive containing Windows XP. This meant for for several of the final Windows 7 re-boots in the install process, I had to direct my computer to the correct disc to boot from, from the booting BIOS. And when installation was complete, I still had to use the boot BIOS to boot into Windows 7.
    How to fix this I know not. It must take some special expertise about MBR's and stuff.
    Fortunately for me, I didn't need to mess with it because I just so happen to have Ubuntu installed on the computer already, which uses the GRUB2 boot menu thing. All I needed to do was boot into Ubuntu and use the GRUB Customizer utility to add the WIndows 7 to the GRUB2 boot menu. All is well.

  • Problems w/ TV Tuner Card and Media Center

    Hi all,
      Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem:
    I just installed the FX5200 TDR-128, with the TV@nywhere card, and the Media Center Deluxe II. I can't get the tv stations to work in MCD II. It works great with MSI PVS software that came with the TV Tuner card. When I go into the "Watch TV" menu of MCD II, it brings up the tv screen but it is all garbled or sometimes a blue screen. I changed all the settings to the appropriate formats and it even has the channels that were scanned in the MSIPVS program. Does anyone know what is causing the channels to not work in the Media Center Deluxe II? Also there is a switch on the VIVO connector that has two settings "Safe" and "Work" what does this switch do? I can't find anything on it in the manual that came with the video card.
    P.S. The remote works great.

    CPU: AthlonXP 2400+
    RAM: 512Meg DDR400

    Hi chavinda546,
    No you can't put an Intel i7-960 chip into the motherboard in your PC. You would end up replacing the motherboard, memory, power supply and processor.  And,  your HP recovery disks would not work so you would probably need to buy a copy of Windows 7.
