HP Pavilion dv5 notebook PC - audio problems

background music/paid advertisement continues to run and i can't turn it off?  The activity does not even show on the task manager?

Are you in the processes pane of Task Manager? If so, select the browser process (firefox.exe, chrome.exe, iexplore,exe) And end it.
Please give Kudos. What other kind of recognition could I get?

I try to hate Macintosh. I really do. But I can't bring myself to hate any electronic device.

  • HP Pavilion dv4155cl Notebook PC audio driver for win7

    please help me to find the HP Pavilion dv4155cl Notebook PC audio driver for win7.....
                                                                                               thank you very much

    Hi:
    Try the XP driver.  You will probably have to manually install it as follows...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46934-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Download and run the above file.  Close out of any error windows.
    Go to the device manager and click on the Multimedia Audio Controller needing drivers.
    Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
    Click on Have Disk and browse to:  C:\SWSetup\sp34210\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmCH6 and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
    Then reboot.

  • How to Install a parallel port printer to usb port of Pavilion dv5 Notebook

    In trying to install my HP DeskJet 610C Parallel Port printer to my HP Pavilion dv5-1235dx Notebook PC with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, I followed instructions given by HP Support some two years back.
    I connected up the two units through a Parallel-to-USB ports cable. The PC loaded and confirmed suitable driver. (Following advice from sites on the Internet, I have made repeated attempts to carefully install the printer, but to no avail).
    Upon my issuing the Print instruction, the printer invariably prints two copies of what appears to be 'gibberish' in two lines at the start of the sheet. Thereafter it picks up and then ejects 6-8 sheets of blank paper.
    Any help in resolving this anomalous situation will be be most welcome and much appreciated.
    I might add that the printer works normally when connected in parallel to an older, Compaq Armada 1750 Notebook (XP OS). In this instance too, the Parrallel/USB worked as in the Pavilion PC, above.  
    This question was solved.

    Hi khalidem, 
    Sounds like you have a communication problem with the printer cables. Have you tried a new parallel to USB cable or adapter?

    I see that you are having problems with the sound on your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with this issue.
    Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps for common sound issue. Follow the steps in the link and let me know what happens.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53837.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
    If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services.  Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
    Audio Service
    Multimedia Class Scheduler
    Windows Audio
    Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
    If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type',  select Automatic and click Apply to save the change.  Then click the Start button.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC audio glitch

    HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC, Product number: QJ920AV#ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    Is it even possible to simaltaneously use the audio and micrphone jacks? I have Turtle Beach headphones which have both inputs so that you have hear and transmit voice while listening to any in-game sounds. However, everytime I try, the audio gltiches and I can no longer hear anything or even play sound files in Windows Media player and I am forced to restart. 
    This only happens if I try to simaltaneously use those two ports. I would very much like to use them both so that when I am playing games I can avoid the irritating error (which displays no error image and is not detected by diagnostic reports) and so that I can hear both in-game music and hear other peoples' voices. This error has always been here. 

    Hello fleming1442,
    Take a look at this document and let me know if the troubleshooting steps help to resolve your issues.
    Good luck!

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Battery Problem

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Windows Vista 64-bit, I bought it less than 2 months ago.  Yesterday I fogot my charging cable so I ran my battery all the way out.  Then this morning after charging I turned on my laptop and it gave me a message about the internal battery being weak.  I tested it with the HP Support Assistant and got this message: 
    "The battery is functioning correclty, but due to normal aging of the battery, the battery life between charges has reached a point where your battery is no longer useful.  The battery may be covered by your HP Warrant.  Please contact HP."
    What happened to my battery and is there a way to fix it without getting a new one (highly unlikely but I have to ask..)?  I'm hoping this problem is under warrenty because I've only had my laptop for less than two months and the battery is already aged?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi, try to download the latest HPSA and test the battery again, if it still shows the same problem, contact local support center to get the battery replaced.

  • HP pavilion g6 notebook hdmi output problems

    So I've had my computer for about 3 years now and the thing that makes this difficult is that the actual laptop screen is broken. This is why I use an hdmi cable and a tv monitor to actually make my computer useable again. Anyways yesterday I was trying to change my computer's screen timeout options and I accidentally changed the monitor display options or connect a projector options and now when I boot up my computer the tv says check signal cable. I know it's not the tv but I don't know what to do please help!

    Hi !
    I wonder if i can uppgrade or change to a better graphic  card on this PC ?

    Hi,
    In all practical senses it's not possible to upgrade your graphics card as its physically soldered to your motherboard.

  • Pavilion dv5-1388nr Entertainment Notebook "No audio device is installed"

    I have a Pavilion dv5-1388nr Entertainment Notebook with Windows Vista. The sound is not working. Neither the built in speakers nor headphones will emit any sound. I have attempted to re-install the driver for the sound card but it didnt work. Can someone please walk me through how to fix it? thank you!!!

    Hi,
    Is the Model No. you've posted correct?  If it's a dv5-1138nr, try the following
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41698.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
    Chipset Driver - Windows Vista 64bit.
    When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
