HP Notebook - Headphone Issues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZiw-Qo59eA
I made a short video about what's been happening to my HP computer. If any further information is needed, please don't hesitate to ask. I would love to get this problem fixed before I have to send my computer in for 3 weeks.
Specs
HP dv7 Notebook
i7 quad-core processor
8GB RAM

most of the time, the headphone issue arises when bios are outdated. I also had a similar problem.I got it solved by updating the bios and latest audio codecs from compaq site. Go to your notebook manufacturers site and get the latest bios and codecs for your NOTEBOOK model(improtant).I am quite sure that will fix the problem.

DV7 6c90el Sound / Headphones issues

Hello , a few months have passed since i bought this dv7-6c90el (WIN7) and i had a ton of Audio and Video issues which i think i have "fixed for the most". Anyways my main problem now is that i just purchased a new pair of Sony MDR XB200 Headphones and the sound is REALLY low , it is way higher when they're not plugged in. I also tried with another pair of headphones but same problem.
Also in the playback settings i am not able to set headphones as standard PLAYBACK device , it just shows standard communication device or "Ready".
I hope somebody will reply here and help me.
Cheers.

Hello Nazee,
Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.
Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.
Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'. Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows.
Please let me know if this helps raise the volume of your notebook.
Good luck!

Headphones issue after updating to iOS 6.1.4

I have not seen anyone else posting this issue but I feel like I can't be alone. I updated to iOS 6.1.4 and now any headphones I use are cracking and popping. I took my phone into the apple store after restoring as a new phone. I thought it was a hardware issue, but after they replaced my phone and I updated the new phone, the exact same issue is happening again, just two hours after having the replacement. I even set this phone up as a new iPhone to make sure it was not a settings issue.....
Anyone else having this, or have a fix. Guess I might have to just wait till next iOS update and cross my fingers I can use my headphones again.
(P.S. this is using several pairs of headphones. Even tried some display headphones in the apple store.)

Bumping this in hopes, someone will help

8800 headphone issues

Once I surrendered to the fact that my Blackberry 8800 ( tmobile ) would not allow me to use my s9 stereo bluetooth headphones >sigh< I purchased a pair of "Body Glove" wired stereo headphones that had the correct size adapter.
I listen to my music almost all day and prefer to rarely touch the phone itself, using the headphones most of the day and a Bluetooth ( S500 ) earpiece in the evening.
For the second time ( second phone) the headset connection has failed. It seems that after about a month of use, first the headset crackles when pluged in but minor "wiggling" will make it work; although it may need to be plugged and unplugged a few time a day. This degrades over the day(s) to popping and humming and intermittent failures that become so irritating I just quit using the Blackberry as an Mp3 player.
This truly stinks becauase one of the main reasons I chose the 8800 was to be able to listen to my music while I work and not miss a phone call.
Anyone else have this problem?
TIA,
T

I went through three headsets before I got it to work.
I bought a Radio shack adapter. It sounds funny, but it was a little thicker the 3.5 standard, there was no wiggle in it,
which was my problem as well. Try it.

Need help: iPad2 jack/headphone issue

My issue is no or garbled muffled sound from the headphone jack on my ipad2. I've tried all the usual fixes re settings, twiddling the jack, cleaning the jack,, rebooting, and even upgrading to ios7, but I still am experiencing these bizarre behaviors: (1) both my Bose earphones and my Sennheiser ear buds play iTunes songs with perfect stereo fidelity but the audio from podcasts and youtube videos is either extremely faint or garbled as if being played underwater. (2) When I pull the plug back slightly just outside its snapped in position, I can hear perfect stereo with both earphone types. The audio from the Sennheiser jack in this position however breaks up intermittently until I press upwards on it towards the glass and then it's clear as a bell. (3) I have another set of ear buds from my Olympus digital recorder and these work perfectly on all audio sources when fully plugged in!!! BTW, the iPad's external speakers work fine. My conclusion at this point is a failed jack but I'm at a loss to explain why one set of earphones work perfectly while two two others don't. Any insights out there??? Many thanks, Bill

Sounds like the port has gone bad, maybe from some schmutz getting jamed in there over a couple of years. Try blowing it out with canned air. Or cleaning it with alcohol (no water based solvents). You might have to surrender and get it replaced. I doubt Apple will repair just the jack. A replacement iPad 2 will cost you mid-200's through Apple, and you'll get a refurbished one with a full warranty.

G70-250US Notebook - sleep issues in Win7?

I just bought the G70-250US... my first notebook ever after 15 years of computing. The very first thing I did (after creating recovery discs of course) was format the drive and put Win7 RC1 (x64) on it. It runs great now and I have no HP bloatware. I got all the latest drivers from HP and Intel.
99% of the time the sleep and wakeup work fine. However, I have noticed if I close the lid and let it sleep for a long time (8+ hours, while I myself and ALSO sleeping), that when I open the lid to wake it in the morning, it will appear to wake up, but the display will remain blank, and I will need to force it asleep a 2nd time (through power button or lid) and then wake it a second time, and then it will function fine, display and all.
Is this a known issue, or is it perhaps just a compatibility issue with Win7? Does it happen in Vista? I can't really check since I wiped Vista off so fast. :-)
Thanks!

One more thing I noticed... when waking up after a long sleep, it briefly displays the HP logo and then the Windows resume screen... and THEN the screen goes black and will not come back unless I sleep it a second time. So it almost seems to be a display driver issue, maybe?
EDIT: Incidentally, Windows update just found a display driver update released yesterday. We'll see if that fixes it...

Headphone issues

While recording v.o., there is no sound coming out of headphones. I can't monitor what I'm recording. When I playback the track, the recorded sound now is heard in the monitors, but not through my headphones. I called Adobe customer service and they said I needed an M- Audio hardware device. I'm using Audition cs6 with Windows 7, through a Focusrite Pro 14 interface. Further investigation on my part led me to speak to an audio expert from a large audio retailer. He informed me that I did not need any other device. He suggested it might be a software issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks J.H.

I think that all the advice you've had so far has been wrong in part:
1) Adobe Customer services shouldn't be trying to sell you hardware you don't need.
2) Large Audio retailer 'expert' is correct that you don't need another device, but incorrect about it possibly being a software issue, because it isn't - it's a hardware monitoring issue, and nothing directly to do with Audition.
From Focusrite's web site:
"Included with the PRO 14 is Saffire MixControl, an 18 x 6 DSP mixer. Offering a level of flexibility that is unparalleled at this price point, the MixControl software enables you to create six separate mixes without latency. Route any combination of input signals and sequencer outputs to any of Saffire PRO 14’s outputs. Intuitive one-click configurations help you track, monitor and mix as quickly as possible."
I've highlighted the relevant part. The way you do zero-latency monitoring during recording is via the internal mixer in your sound device - that's the only way you can do this. If you use a software path, chances are that you'll get sufficient latency to put you off completely. What you need to do is use Mixcontrol to provide an output to the headphone socket from the input you are using, and you're done.

Hi Mehroz,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion dv6920ea Notebook and getting errors on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices, and remove memory cards from the card reader slot. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
If that does not help try to turn on the computer you start to press F11 repeatedly till the menu opens. You can do a system restore. The HP Support Assistant will help you keep the computer software and drivers up to date.
The final thing you should try is to restore the BIOS defaults.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

Very strange headphone issue

G'day everyone.
Yesterday I received a brand new iPhone 4 and today, after syncing all my music, I noticed a strange problem when listening through any earphones. When the music is playing at low volume it is very muffled, though when the volume is turned up close to full, the audio seems to jump into a state of clarity where it suddenly sounds normal.
I was on the phone to apple about this problem and whilst I was on hold I decided to plug in my headphones to see if they worked for calls... they did, so I decided to test further and see if my music was working... it was, but as soon as I hung up from the call and tried the music again it went back to being muffled until the volume was turned to full. Apple suggested a hard reset which did not help, any other ideas?
Cheers.

I just talked to Apple Support and they are going to repair it for me, it's just I need to wait til Friday since I am broke from Christmas! Once I get paid, then I can dish out the 30 dollars to get a rental iPhone to hold me over. The restore temporarily fixed the touchscreen issue since it happened again hours later.
Also, nobody I know who would have a spare AT&T phone doesn't come to mind so I can't just borrow a phone and start the repair process now, but the wait isn't too bad. At least they do not limit the iPhone rental to just physical Apple Store customers!
Thanks for the help, folks. :V

Music skips on original iPhone NOT a headphone issue

About 2 weeks ago my iPhone began "skipping" when playing music (like a cd skips if it's scratched) this happens to random tracks, at random times, with and without headphones. I've upgraded the firmware (a disaster!) and have the latest version of iTunes, have tried restarting iPhone and restoring iPhone all to no avail. Anybody have any idea if this a hardware issue or a software bug?

I just got my iPhone 3G two days ago, and I have noticed the exact problem.
Music tracks bought from the itunes store stops/pauses randomly, and sometimes it skips to another song.
Sometimes the pause lasts up to 10 seconds with no visible indication on the screen (the 'pause' button is on the screen as though the track continues playing, but I haven't been able to take note of the duration bar).
It happens very randomly, but I only notice it when riding a bus- I don't think it is due to shock, though.
I thought it was due to the changing Wi-Fi signals, but it still happens when I disable wireless.
I am using the 8gigabyte phone, original headphones, and I have about 3-4 downloaded applications.
I am desperate for a solution, I have 12 more days before my shop-replacement warranty expires. Thanks in advance
EDIT:
I also use a silicon cover, could it mess with the proximity sensors around the phone? I double-checked to make sure it doesn't depress any of the hardware buttons, but even if they did, it wouldn't produce the same problem I am experiencing.
I also have nothing interfering with the mult-func button under the right earphone, and pressing it doesn't produce the same effect (pressing it pauses the music, but doesn't skip, and it makes a clear indication on the screen.)

Bluetooth headphone issues

I am thinking of buying either an iPhone 4 or the iPod Touch. Would like to be able to listen to music with bluetooth headphones while working out in the gym. I have heard about numerous issues with iPhones running the latest software where the connection keeps dropping out or the music cuts out. Does the iPod touch have the same issues?

I hane the Motorola S9 HD and it works fine for my 4G and iPad.

Iphone 4 ios 6 skullcandy aviator headphone issues

I have the Skullcandy RocNation Aviator Headphones that were designed for iphones. They worked great until I upgraded to ios 6. Now I hear myself and my surroundings echoed within the headphones. In addition, the buttons on the cord no longer control the volume or pause/play functions for calls, music, or books. Is anyone else have issues with this? Is there a fix for this? Any info regarding this issue is greatly appreciated. I hate to think that I wasted good money on headphones that only worked for about 2 months before apple decided to push ios 6 onto everyone.

If it makes you feel any better, I have the exact same problem with Apple standard headphones, on an iPhone 4 running iOS6.
So widespread iOS6 issue I guess

N91 Headphones Issue

I attempted a firmware upgrade of my N91 in June, which went horribly wrong. Even though I did not disconnect the cable, midway through the process the connection was lost and my phone was dead.
I am in Toronto, Canada but I purchased the phone in the U.A.E. in 2006 where I was living at the time. I had to send it back and have the firmware restored there. I got the phone back recently and it works fine except for one glaring problem:
Head phones are no longer recognized!
I have tried several headphones and none of them get recognized. The icon showing that headphones are connected does not pop up and when I play music it comes out through the phone speaker even if the headphones are in the jack.
One way around this is to use bluetooth headphones. These work fine, but these headphones do not provide the same sound quality.
I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks in advance!

The supplied head phones of the N91 have different jack than the standard headphones do you use this one? You can use only other headphone if you have the adapter, since the jack activate the switch. If you did used one, the only thing you can do for now is do a hard reset or format & check if it resolve the issue; codes are available in the sticky post "usefull codes" It's just a long shot, & most likely what you experienced is a hardware failure of the phone itself or contact problem in the phone jack. You can buy a non-residue contact cleaner in electronic shop & give it a shot(spray the holes with it, warrantee will not be voided by this)! Else you have to send it back again to where it is guaranted.

HT3472 IPod shuffle headphone issues

Mine will play for a while, but then just quit playing. I will try and plug in the ipod headphones right away but they won't work either then. Let it sit for a few hours and then it is fine. Anyone had a similar issue?

Mine will play for a while, but then just quit playing.
Is it running out of battery power?
What happens if you turn it OFF (with the switch), wait about ten seconds, and turn it back ON?
I will try and plug in the ipod headphones right away but they won't work either then.
Can you describe that again in more detail? Not sure what you mean...
Let it sit for a few hours and then it is fine.
Do you turn it OFF (with the switch) during that time, or does it stay ON?
If you have not already, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle using iTunes. For a 3rd gen shuffle, select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. Click the Restore button. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. NOTE: If this is a 2nd gen shuffle, it's the Settings tab, not Summary.
Then, reload some songs and see if the problem recurs.
