Hp pavilion dv6-7020us speakers stopped working

My speakers stopped working at some point but I don't recall any programs or updates that may have caused this. I have uninstalled everything that I know was recently installed. I have run a driver update for the items in device manager pertaining to audio.
This question was solved.

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/sp56001-56500/sp5615​5.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.

    Hello San123,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I will definitely assist you with the computer's issue regarding lack of sound from the speakers. Before anything else is done, please make sure you try every step in this thread: Troublesho​oting Guide: Audio does not Work after a Certain Period of Time
    If every step does not help, please provide the following information:
    1. The computer's model number. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Guide to finding your notebook product number
    2. The computer's operating system. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website to determine your Windows operating system.
    3. Does this occur on certain programs, or all programs?
    4. Have you installed any new software or drivers on this computer, before the issue appeared?
    5. What steps have been attempted from my first post on this thread, and what were the results?
    Additionally, if the issue just began occurring, I would perform a system restore. I want you to bring the computer back to the earliest restore point possible, in an attempt to dodge whatever caused the issue. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: System Restore
    Either way, let me know what happens. Thanks!

  • HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

    HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3.  When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working.  When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode.  I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug.  REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated. 

    Hi lancekatigbak,
    If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

  • External speakers stopped working when Yosemiti was down loaded

    My external speakers stopped working when I downloaded Yosemiti! how can I remedy this?

    Dunno what it has to do with Yosemite, but:  press the alt/option key, while clicking on the speaker icon at the right hand top of your screen. This will show you all the sound inputs and outputs for your mac. Ensure that it is set to "Line Out" or "Digital out" (depending on your speaker's capabilities. Hopefully
    that works

  • External Speakers stopped working on Imac

    External speakers stopped working.   Verified speakers operating with Iphone.   Checked that speakers plugged in correctly.   Tried usual power cycling step.   External speakers do not show up in sound preferences.    Anyone with any advice?
    Thanks,

    If you unplug the speakers to the internal speakers work OK? If not try  resetting the system PRAM see Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If they still don't work or if the internal works OK then look into the speaker plug. Do you see a red light? There is a switch inside the plug that detects the presents of a  jack and sometimes it gets stuck or breaks entirely.
    You could try gently using a non-conductive device (a toothpick is good) probing inside the plug to see if you can free the switch. Of course this could be harmful if done incorrectly. If the system is still under warranty you might want to take it to have it looked at.

  • In built speakers stop working

    hi all,
    i am connecting headphones to my tablet,it works fine
    but when i disconnect it then the in built speakers dont work
    i did all the control panel tests and all are fine
    before connecting headphones they work fine
    but after connecting external headphones and removing it,the internal speakers stop working
    can anybody help please?

    if you do a restart (not a shut down, a restart) on windows, does it still not work?
    Unfortunatly I was unable to find any thing that would relate to a windows software controled switch (It does not have any kind of popups signaling the audio source change) so it may be just as simple as a broken head phone jack. Unfortunatly the only thing you can do is return it. 

  • Macbook pro speakers stopped working, earbuds fine

    My macbook pro speakers stopped working, but the earbuds work fine.  Tried restart and preferences.  Volume icon is grayed out, except when earbuds are plugged in.  What am I missing?

    Look in the audio output port.  If there is a red light, the internal switch is stuck.  Insert the earphone jack a few times.  Blow into the port as hard as you can.  Use a toothpick or something similar and jiggle it inside the port.  If no success, bring the MBP to the Apple store genius bar.
    Ciao.
    If there is no red light, try a PRAM reset:

  • Laptop speakers stopped working.

    My speakers stopped working. When I go into Sound Preferences, it only gives me the option of digital out. How do I get it to detect the built in speakers again?

    Remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

  • Speakers stopped working on macbook

    Internal speakers stopped working all of a sudden.  Headphones work just fine.  Under system preferences there is no choice anymore for internal speakers.

    I have the same problem. the fact that this problem is existing since 2006 and Apple doesn't care, makes me very angry. All recommendations in the various forum are nice, but there is none satisfying me. I bought an Apple computer not a Dell machine. maybe I had better bought the Dell one, because I heard the service there is good. I bring my MacBook Pro once in the store to solve the problem. Lets see what they say.

  • Pavilion dv6-6c35dx - Sound not working after a HP Support update

    Pavilion dv6-6c35dx with windows 7
    I recently did a factory reset, and with the reset had to do all the updates. One of those updates from the HP Support assist was IDT High Definition Audio CODEC version 6.10.6381.0 on driver stwrt64.sys. And with that update i no longer have sound. When i put the cursor over the sound icon on the toolbar it says no headphones or speakers are plugged in. I already tried disabling and re-enableing the AMD HDMI output audio device through the control panel menus, didnt work, also it says its not plugged in. When i go into the hp supprt assist, to troubleshoot, to audio and sound, the status on the IDT says Error(52).
    How do i fix this?

    Hello everyone,
    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
    It would appear that you two are experiencing different issues. I will definitely address both of you!
    First, I feel it would be wise to perform a System Restore. You can return the computer to a point before the issue existed. Here's how to do it: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    If that doesn't work, then look at the below suggestions:
    *Before any real troubleshooting, please put your computer in a clean boot state. This should prevent third-party programs from interfering. This document provides information on how to do it: How to perform a clean boot in Windows*
    *Next, unlock a new Administrator account, so we can troubleshoot on a clean account. Open Command Prompt as Administrator, and hit Enter after typing the following: net user administrator /active:yes
    You will be able to log out of your current user account, and log into the Administrator one.
    *Finally, make sure all of your Windows updates are complete:
    1. Open "Windows Update" in Control Panel.
    2. Click "Settings", and then click "Install optional updates".
    3. Next, click "Check for updates".
    If that step doesn't work, then look below for the appropriate troubleshooting:
    @epicness50 , you need to perform all of the steps in this document: No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    Also, since there is a Device Manager Error 52 issue, you may want to look here for additional information and suggestions: Code 52: Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device
    *The above Microsoft document is for Windows Vista and Server 2008, but the troubleshooting can be done in Windows 7.
    @LENNY12 , you mentioned you uninstalled and reinstalled Support Assistant. However, I'm going to ask you to do it again, but with a little more troubleshooting to address what could be causing the issue.
    Source of the troubleshooting is my own post: HP Support Assistant Windows 8.1
    Uninstall your version of Support Assistant in Control Panel, Programs and Features, then restart the computer.
    Solution: Download Support Assistant from its own special home
    1. Click on the following link: HP Support Assistant. It will bring you to the following page:
    2. Click on "Notebooks, laptops, netbooks " under "Download HP Support Assistant". It will prompt you to download it. So save it, then run it AS ADMINISTRATOR.
    If either of you are still experiencing issues,  I would perform a System Recovery to reinstall Windows. This will rule out which of the above options are to blame.
    First, you should backup your data. I will provide information on how to do that: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
    Once this is done, it is safe to do the System Recovery. Here is some information on how to do this: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    Thanks and have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion DV6-6182NR Sound Not Working...Feel Like I Have Tried Everything

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6-6182NR, and my sound has stopped working. I've tried uninstalling then reinstalling the driver. I've updated everything. Rolled it back. Updated again. Nothing has worked. When I test the audio, it shows the sound working, but no sound can be heard...even through headphones.
    I have tried going through HP Support Assistant, but it shows everything is working.
    Could it be the sound chip? Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

  • Pavilion dv6-3227cl sound not working

    Hello, I booted up my computer today to no sound. The last time I used it, which was two days ago, the sound worked perfectly, but now the sound is not working at all. I have tried headphones and speakers, nothing works. I have tried to do a system restore to when it last worked, tried installing a new driver, and I am still getting no sound. It could be that I installed the incorrect driver or didn't install it correctly. Thanks in advance for any help, I will put my system info below.
