HP Pavilion p7-1421 Desktop PC BEATS AUDIO not working.

Hi, new here with thankfully my first problem with the desktop in the subject line.
Somewhere along the way, the Beats Audio stopped working correctly. The Equalizer
sliders will not move at all, and the "Test Speakers" button will highlight the left, then right
speaker, but no sound will be produced.
For background, I did install StartDoc, a program that gives one back the original Windows 7 "Start"
button and desktop. Other than that, I have not installed anything, except the reccommended HP upgrades.
Also, the machine is obviously running Windows 8, and I have NOT switched to 8.1.
I see on the Notebook page lots of questions re. Beats not working and solutions, but each user is asked
for the specific model, OS etc. This is why I chose to post a new thread, so that the experts can address
my exact machine.
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi srv1954,
I suggest reinstalling Beats Audio.
Open the Charms menu, select "Search".
Enter "Recovery Manager" and then select Recovery Manager from the list. Click "Yes "at the User Account Control.
Select "Hardware Driver Reinstallation". Select "Next". Select 'IDT High Definition Audio CODEC".
Select "Next"
Follow prompts to reinstall and reboot your PC.

    Hi @M-G-R 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a superb place to find answers and suggestions!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I grasp that you are having an issue with your Beats Audio on your new computer.
    Here is a link to the 15-p117na Software & Drivers.  I noticed the recommended audio driver for your notebook is
    sp69618.exe .  Please delete or remove the version you have updated to and install the recommended driver.
    When you installed non recommended drivers as they have not been tested on your system the outcome is unknown.  They may or may not work correctly.
    Here is a link to Beats Audio Console (Windows 8) that will guide you.
    Have you done all your Windows updates?
    Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to obtain any HP updates.
    If you should still have an issue with your new HP notebook please contact HP technical support for assistance.
    They can remotely access your system to help overcome difficulties more easily.
    Please call our technical support at 800 474 6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get a support number for your region.

  • New laptop - beats audio not working properly

    Product name:HP  Envy dv7t-7300 Quad Edition
    OS: Windoze 8
    Issue:  This is a brand new notebook.  We were using Skype video and the sound volume was very poor (very low).  So we decided to plug in the USB-powered speakers we have used on a Dell laptop for hte last year.  There was no sound.  We unplugged the speakers and there was no sound from the notebook.  On a whim, Iplugged the speakers back in and out and suddenly the enhanced (beats) audio started to work, but we could not control the voilume (the volume bar showed 0% but the sound was extremely loud.  I played a youtubs video and the sound was still loud.  I played a system sound from the control panel and the sound was extreme;y loud..  I plugged the speakers back in and there was again no sound.  I unplugged them and again there was no sound.
    No sound.  I have rebooted twice and still no sound.  Windoze 8 shows everything working fine.  It apperas that ther is a hardware mechaniscal issue in the headphone plug.  Also, when watching the sound controls on Windoze 8, Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, there are currently three sound devices onthe Volume Mixer display:  S235HL, System Sounds, and HPConnectRe.....    When I plug in the speaker mini-plug, the S235HL panel disappears.  When I unplug the mini plug, the S235HL display momentarily (1/4 second) appears and then disappears.  When I do it a third time, I get a pull down on the System Sounds which allows me to make the S23HL display appear again.
    I'm pretty sure that there is supposed to be some way to control the volumn on the beats audio, and I'm pretty sure that the headp[hones jack is supposed to work properly like it has on my presios 5 or 6 laptops.  Is this a mechanical issue?  Or are we doing something wrong?

    Hello nancyes.  I understand you're having trouble with your sound.
    Have you tried uninstalling the device's drivers and allowing Windows to reinstall them?  Try the following.
    From either the Metro or Desktop views press the Windows+X key combination.  This opens the Context Menu.
    Select Device Manager.
    Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
    Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
    Now reboot your PC.
    Windows will automatically install the device when it loads.
    Verify whether the problem persists.
    I'll keep an eye out for your response.  I hope you have a great day!

  • HP Pavilion 500-018 Desktop PC DVD Drive not working

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-018 Desktop PC with windows 8.1.  For some reason, the CD-ROM drive has stopped working.  When I put a disk in to install new software, it does not recognize that there is a disk in the drive.  I've tried updating the driver, etc.  Even in the file explorer, the drive does not show up.  About the only thing I can do it eject the disk.
    Any help would be most appreciated.

  • Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Windows 7 beats audio problems

    Product name : Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx
    Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit
    I'm having a problem with some of the sliders in my beats audio options. The sliders in the graphic equalizer section work just fine, but the ones to the left of it - bass, treble, center, etc - have no effect on the sound no matter how I adjust them. Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.  This problem seemed to happen shortly after I needed to reset my pc back to factory settings. I've gone to the drivers section of the hp website and got the HD IDT audio driver for my model called "sp58131" and installed it but all it did was reset the sliders, the problem still persists. Is there anything else I can do?

    Hi Vivi,
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Notebook and Beats Audio. I would uninstall the driver from the device manager and any others that might be in the Audio. Then reinstall it from here.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
