HP Pavilion m6 Notebook won't pick up my Headset Mic

HP Pavilion m6 Notebook PC
Got a headset yesterday and my pc does not pick up my voice or anything from my mic.
So to give whatever more detail I can, I got my new headset yesterday, (Logitech G230 Gaming Headset) and I was trying to set up the mic on it but my PC won't pick up any sound from it. I've made the External Mic in my sound settings the default device and have tried configuring it as you would normally but nothing works. I would be very greatful to know a solution or if I'm just out of luck with this one.
Thanks

Jason,
Welcome to the group; this seems to be a common problem with the HP/MICROSOFT pc's. No one seems to have an answer.
My HP "x2-k010nr" has the same problem and I only got to use it for a few days trying to learn Win 8.1. I got the HP because it is the same size as my xp Gateway netbook which I have been using for 9 yrs. About a month ago the audio somehow got corrupted with the message "no audio device install" and the device was "MODEM #0 PLAYBACK". The audio devices were "realtec" and worked great for 9 years. I thought the HP with Win 8.1 was the way to go ,however, I'm now having second thoughts. The laptop is now with HP customer service somewhere in the U.S and will arrive at the service depot Nov 25 just before Thanksgiving  sure hope they don't deep fry that turkey!!!
Ham123 ps: hope you have better luck with your turkey

  • Hp c4280 photo-smart added to new hp pavilion dv7 notebook. printing custom sized paper won't center

    I recently bought an HP Pavilion dv7 notebook and added my HP C4280 printer. It prints normal things fine, but when I try to print with custom size paper (for instance, 5" by 10" notecards) and want my information centered in the middle of the page, the alignment prints it in the middle of an 8.5" by 11," way off center. I've read help on word and hp and can't find an answer. The only difference is an updated version of word.
    I did download the patch and had no luck with that. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

    Hi - It definitely sounds like the SW or printer driver isn't recognizing the paper size.  First thing I would do is make sure that the paper size in both the printer driver and in Word match.  For the printer driver, go into File, Print and you should see an option for Printing Options or Printing Properties.  Click there and verify that you've got the paper size set correctly.  In Word (not sure which version you're using) 2010, go into Page Layout and choose Size to make sure it matches the printer driver.  Try printing again.
    I'm assuming you're using the printer driver that came with the printer?  If not, you can download the latest Win7 driver from here.  Once downloaded, install it and follow the steps above.
    Hope that helps.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC won't play blu-ray anymore

    HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC used to play blu-ray discs. it had been a while since i have tried to play one and my computer has, no doubt, updated countless times since.
    when i load a blu-ray disc the HP DVD player starts, and there is a black screen which says 'loading' and to press play. pressing play does not start the disc. it used to ask me if i wanted to check for updates, but selecting 'yes' never seemed to find any, and selecting 'no' just brought you back to the same place.
    i have tried downloading the sp50935 DVD update to fix the problem, but when installing i get a message that says the 'install has been stopped due to an unsupported operating system' (to that effect), but i use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1, the same that came installed when purchased.
    any ideas?

    Hi jim_douglas,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! Sorry to hear about the blu-ray issues. I will be happy to help but I will need your product number?

  • Re: hp pavilion g7-2022us notebook won't load

    My pc pavilion g7 will load to the home screen and then freeze. What do I do?

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g7 Notebook and issue with not loading. Here is a link to startup issues with Windows. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. It could be software that  you loaded before the restart that the Notebook is having an issue with. When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • 2nd HDD bay with HDD = notebook won't boot with HDD in 2nd HDD bay

    I recently came into a Pavilion DV9308 Notebook. It was in decent shape, well looked new and since I like tinkering with laptops and the motherboard had the dreaded NVIDIA GPU failure going on, I sent the motherboard out to my motherboard dude and he put a newer NVIDIA video chip in, made some adjustments and modifications to the heatsink cooler etc. Along with my modifications including vent holes and sealing up the fan blowing assembly so when the fan turned on the hot air would leave the laptop it now runs Windows 7 64 bit with a 64GB Kingston OS SSHD and 4GB DDR2 800mhz ram. It runs like lightning and impresses people when they see it boot up in 15 seconds.
    The problem is and the whole reason I picked this notebook to restore is because it has two acutal hard drive bays. Well ever since I've gotten the notebook It will not boot with a hard drive in both bays or a hard drive in Bay #2. I had to send the repaired motherboard back once because one of the ram slots wasn't working so this is happening on two different motherboards. I cannot find a reason why this is happening and have yet to find anyone that can help me with this. Can anyone explain to me what I'm doing wrong? I have all the correct drivers I think and the laptop runs at 130"F when pushed to the max! That is amazing compared to what it originally ran. It would be awesome if someone could please help me with this. Thanks.

    Hello jason9922.  I understand your notebook won't boot with a hard drive in the second bay.
    When you say that the notebook won't boot with a drive in the second bay what exactly do you mean?  Does the CAPS LOCK key flash or do you get an error?
    When you have the hard drive installed can you access the BIOS?  If so, is the hard drive detected within the BIOS?
    I'll keep an eye out for your response.  Have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion g6 Notebook - Sudden shutdowns without warning when battery is low

    My notebook is only ten months old. Within the last week, it started shutting down unexpectedly when the battery was low (but not at a critical level). If I try to restart it, there won't be a response until I plug in the adaptor cord. Usually there will be around 20% of my battery left when my computer is booted up after such a shutdown, so I don't think it's because of my battery being low. (Besides, when I've accidentally used my laptop until it has to hibernate, the light next to the port for the adapter cord usually blinks to tell me it's the battery.)
    Initially I thought it was a problem with overheating, so I cleaned my vents and bought an external laptop cooler when it first shut down unexpectedly two weeks ago. However, the shutdowns have become more frequent since then. I've run the Memory Diagnostic Tool, the HP Battery Check, and updated my BIOS. No problems have come up; in fact, everything seems to be running perfectly. I also ran AVG and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. No problems there either.
    What could be the problem? Thanks for any help!
    Product name: HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
    Product number: A1J18AV
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1

    Mines started doing exactly the same! Its just 12 months old though and hardly ever gives me a low battery warning. Then it will turn off without shutting down the proper way. When I plug in and turn back on, the battery says its at 20-25%
    Is there actually a solution to this and whats causing it?..because if it's the battery then **bleep**..they don't last long.

  • My Pavillion dv9700 notebook won't boot unless I first...

    My Pavillion notebook won't boot unless I first boot to a cd. Here's the problem:
    I have a dv9700 notebook. It wouldn't power up. A local shop said I needed a new motherboard. I ordered one and installed it. Now when I try to boot it gets to the part where the hard drive starts to spin and suddenly shuts down only to power up again and endlessly continue this loop. I have found that if I first boot to a bootable cd and then at the cd menu choose "Start Windows" instead of "Boot to cd" the computer will start Widows Vista and run normally.
    I have reseated the RAM and tried only one card at a time and switched slots. The BIOS is up to date. I have booted on ac adapter only. Battery only. Tried another ac adapter.
    The BIOS hard drive diagnostic fails, showing no hard drive installed. I have tried the hard drive in a USB enclosure. It read fine. I have tried another hard drive in this computer, still reboots over and over.
    I can't figure out why I need to boot to a CD first then switch to Windows Vista on the hard drive.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    Hi:
    Try the XP driver.  You will probably have to manually install it as follows...

    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.

  • Product name: HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Issue- No sound

    Product name: HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC
    Product number: F9T46EA#ABU
    Hi ,
    I have no sound on my computer, beside the speaker symbol in the toolbar is a red 'x'. When I press this it says detecting problems and then it says- 'Problem - one or more audio services isn't running' and then 'not fixed' beside that.
    I investigated to see which audio service it was that wasn't functioning and it turns out that Windows Audio Service  is failing to run.
    How do I resolve this problem?
    Áine

    Hi,
    Open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Properties.  Click the Driver tab and then click 'Update driver'.  Select 'Browse my computer for driver software' and then select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.  Left click 'High Definition Audio Device' once to highlight it and then click the Next button to install it.
    Has this made any difference?

  • How do i clean the air vents on my hp pavilion dv6 notebook pc?

    Latelly, the fan on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC has been noiser than usual and it appears that my notebook becomes quite warm to the touch. The HP Support Assistant running on my notebook PC recommended that I can reduce the heat and fan noise  by cleaning the air vents. How do I do this? Can I do this myself or do I have to have a professional do it?

    Hi Rosie,
    You can clean the vents on your notebook.
    Buy a can of compressed air.  Essentially, you need to gently blow out the vents with the compressed air to clear out the dirt and dust.  You need a can with a small straw like attachment for the nozzle so you can point it directly toward the vents.
    Do take a look at this document first so you know which way to point the air and how to avoid damaging the fan inside the notebook.

  • HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) USB controller not working

    I am having problems with my HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) Intially Windows 8 was installed but I got windows 7ultimate for it and now I'm missing the drivers for it.
    I don't know how to fix this problem, I have tried everything. I downloaded an program called DeviceDocter and it downloaded the thing but then an error saying. Your system does not meet the miniumum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled. (9996). It says AMD USB Controller Driver. It should work on my computer since it's Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Please help me fix my ports. Just my 2 ports on my left side of the computer isn't working. The right side of the computer port is working.

    Thanks for the help, but I found the program to fix it. After searching for hours. I stumbled upon this link and it finally worked and the unknown device was only my headset and the other one I just updated by making it search online for the software.

  • HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC hdmi port to hp monitor stopped working

    I have a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC (processor: AMD A8-455m APU w/ Radeon HD Graphics) and for the past year been using it with an external HP 20wm monitor by way of HDMI to VGA cord. On March 1st 2015 I turned on my laptop and monitor and it could not find the external monitor. On the monitor it stated no connection found and monitor went to sleep. The cord and monitor work with my sons laptop so I know they're not the problem. Went to Screen Resolution and tried to detect and nothing. Having rolled back the driver (7600G) and no difference I updated it back again. I took the computer back to a restore point on Feb 26th and the outcome was the same it does not work.  I would appreciate any help that can be put forward so this issue can be resolved. 
    Thanks,

  • Disc drive no longer working on HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC that's running Windows Vista Home Premium.  This morning I inserted a CDR to burn some files via iTunes and since then, my disc drive is not responding in anyway.  I tried pushing the button on the disc drive, no response.  I tried ejecting it via windows explorer, no response.  I tried restarting my computer to see if that would help, no response.  The light on the disc drive no longer lights up in anyway.  When I tried burning the CDR in iTunes, it just kept displaying the message "Please insert blank disc" over and over and didn't recognize there was anything in the drive.  So, do you think the disc drive has had it?  Or is there some way to reset the disc drive or fix it?  Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
