HP Pavillion dv6646 notebook has no Sound

My HP Pavilion dv6646 has no Audio Device Installed (according to the volume menu) after installing some updates.
I've tried to roll back the computer to a point before the updates but it doesnot restore the audio.
When trying to reinstall the factory audio driver (conxent?) I get an error that says there is no audio device.
In the Device Manager there is no listing for Sound, video and game controllers.
Any suggestions? All of the fixes I've found so far suggest that either it is a driver problem or that it is an update problem. I've tried to fix both.
Do I need to go into the laptop and wiggle the sound card or something?
I'm running
Windows Vista and have the latest BIOS update installed.

Hi,
1. Can you see it in Device manager under "Sound", click to "Speakers", "Properties" then "Properties" (again), you should see something like this:
Just uninstall it and then download & reinstall from here:

2. If not, install Audio driver from the above link

No sound on videos from SD File on my HP Pavillion g6 Notebook PC.

HP Pavillion g6 Notebook PC Windows 7 64-bit. I have videos on my SD Card that were recorded from my cellphone. Once I play the video on my Notebook, I am able to see the video, but it has no sound. I have tried to upload videos into websites directly from the SD, (not saved files on the notebook) and they still have no sound. What should I do?

Hi,
Are they ok to play on your phone ? What is your phone ? What is the format of the videos ? The phone may have different file structure and/or stream (video - audio), you may need a software to mix them. The phone manual should tell us few things.

X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in

0X-Fi Notebook has a problem with headset/line-in` First the basics:
-HP Pavillion dv6000
-Intel Core 2 Duo @ .83 GHz
-Windows Vista Home and Student (SP) 32 bit
-3 GB RAM
Ok, now the problem:
-Ever since I got my Sound Blaster X-Fi card for this past christmas, I've had a problem with using the headset/lin-in port on it. Its only now that it's gotten to be a big enough irritation for me to need to fix it. I went to play some BF2 and hook up my earphone/microphone combo. The problem is, that the default recording device "Line-in" doesn't detect any sound when I have it plugged in. Further more, when I change it to "SB X-Fi micropone" it does detect my voice, but its on some kind of feedback loop, because it then transmits whatever the mic picks up onto my speakers/headphones/whatever I have plugged into it as an output. Its almost like they have the "line-in" and "microphone" functions either switched or blended into one. I did a complete reinstall of the drivers and software, but no luck. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks guys

Hi,
What I mean is the microphone jack on your x-fi notebook. since you are saying you can hear yourself when you switch the recording source to microphone, I would assume that you have plugged in a microphone into your x-fi notebook. You should check if there is a microphone control on your volume mixer and whether it is unmuted if there is one. There are many sound card which allows for the microphone audio to be heard on the speaker output if the microphone source is unmuted.

Qosmio G10-133 has no sound

Hi just new to forum so bare with me. Bought my g10 recently and carried out system restore as instructed on update documents:
1 product recovery cd-rom
2 qosmioplayer recovery cd-rom
3 qosmioplayer update cd-rom
4 qosmio update cd-rom.
Notebook has Intel 915PM Express chipset and graphics controller nVidia Geforce Go 6600.
No sound at all coming from the notebook regardless of task. Display quality is excellent.
Have tried all the checks I can think of: Have tested headphones socket with no sound regardless of volume adjustment.
SoundMax states no driver found when Ive tried to install and quits on me.
Mediaplayer -problem with sound device
Have used registry checking software to no avail.
System bios is v2.00 01/26/2006 as I think it should be.
Have run a system tool that stated unplugged devices:Soundmax Integrated digital audio-pci bus 0,device 31, fuction 5
also shows nVidia Geforce FX go 5700
not sure if this has anything to do with problem.
As far as i'm aware my go 6600 drivers are up to date.
Any ideas or information would be greatly apreciated.
Cheers Stuart.
p.s. system runing is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 service pack 2(have carried out all windows updates)

Wait a moment. If I understand you right the mainboard on your Qosmio has been replaced and you got Update tool CD. Am I right?
If yes I presume you know very well how to use given Update tool CD. It is very important to use it on the right way. I will try to explain how it should be done:
1. At first you must use delivered recovery CD
2. At the end of recovery procedure you will see message
Please remove Recovery Media and press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL] key to restart
at this place do not press this key combination but remove recovery disc from optical disc drive and insert Update tool CD into your computer and press [CTRL]+[ALT]+[DEL] to restart
3. When the screen goes black, hold down the F12 key. When the Qosmio logo appears, release the F12 key.
4. Select CD/DVD-ROM Drive (CD icon) and press ENTER
5. After about 5 minutes, the copy process will be complete. The message The media will update software, please do not remove it. Hit any key to Shutdown is displayed
Press any key to shutdown.
6. Turn On the power of your notebook.
7. Windows Setup screen will appear and please follow the on-screen instructions to finish the Setup.
8. This process can take about 5 minutes and the notebook will reboot to complete.
If you install OS on this way I presume all hardware components should work properly.
Can you please confirm you have install OS as described?

Pavillion dm4 audio has stopped working

Hello,
The audio on my HP dm4-2015dx (Product #LW478UA) notebook has suddenly stopped working. It runs Windows 7 Home Premium and has an Intel processor. I use Chrome as a browser.
I have updated BIOS, chipset and audio drivers.
I have run the Windows audio troubleshooter and it finds no problems and that the latest versions/updates are present.
I have checked that the Mute button is not on and that volume control is at maximum, as well as checking volume control on Youtube, etc.
I have re-downloaded the audio driver and saved it to downloads, then uninstalled the active driver, shut the machine down, pulled the battery, held the power button, restarted, entered through the BIOS menu, loaded defaults, etc. then installed the driver from downloads and set it as default.
Nothing.
Both the Sound icon on the taskbar and when I go into Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Sound, Manage Audio Devices, Playback tab actually show the sound level going up and down when I play a Youtube video, for instance. But no audio comes out of the laptop's speakers.
Can anyone please provide some guidance to correct this issue?
Thank you,
Doug

Hi Doug,
Please take a look at this document, and let me know if the troubleshooting steps help resolve your no sound from your notebook speakers.
Good luck!

Hinges broken 17" Pavillion dv9500 notebook Service Tag dv9610us

My 17" Pavillion dv9500 notebook (Service Tag dv9610us) has 2 broken hinges.
I understand this is a common problem with this family of laptops and I believe there are videos on YouTube to show how to fix them.
I ordered what I thought were OEM hinges from a non HP website and they are extremely stiff.
Almost impossible to rotate by hand.
I would have ordered from HP, but I don't want to spend a lot, because I need more RAM and the frame for the monitor too which is also cracked.
Is it normal for new hinges to be so stiff ?
Is the plastic frame on the same side of the monitor called the Bezel, or are both the front and back of the monitor cover collectively called the Bezel ? The HP Store doesn't show a photo.

Thanks Run-ner !!
Well since you've been so nice, I'll try another question.
How do I determine if this laptop is considered Single Lamp or Double Lamp. The part numbers for hinges differ.

My pavillion g6 notebook fan is not working how do i fix it?

My pavillion g6 notebook fan is not working how do i fix it?
i found out a few days ago when i was not hearing the sound my fan usually does because its really loud
and then 1 day i got the message. and is there a way to make it quiet?

Hey FlowZ,
Here is the Manual that shows you how to remove all the replaceable part in the notebook. Go to page 73 where it tells you the part #'s for the fans depending on what your processor is.
Now, i wouldn't advise you to remove it yourself.
But these are the steps to remove the Fan.
1. Turn the system board right-side up, with the front toward you.
2. Disconnect the fan cable from the system board (1).
3. Remove the Phillips 3.0 x 2.0 screw (2) that secures the fan/heat sink assembly to the system
board.
4. Follow the sequence embossed on heat sink to loosen the six Phillips 10.0 x 2.0 captive screws
(3) that secure the fan/heat sink assembly to the system board.
If you want to replace the fan just go to Hp PartSurfer and search by your product #.
Here is a Document that will help you with Reducing Heat inside the PC.

My 2008 pavillion dv9910us notebook no longer recognizes the optical reader

My 2008 pavillion dv9910us notebook no longer recognizes the optical reader (cd drive) any ideas how to fix it since I can't put in restore cd to fix it?

Hi,
First, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now listed and working.
If it still iit's still missing, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it is now listed and working.

DP-K

My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all. Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up. It has not been dropped or gotten wet. I turned it off and on. now what?

My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound. I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area. When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume. Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects." what does that mean?

My 4s has no sound on most outgoing calls. i constantly have to turn my phone off and on more than once a day to get it to work. how can i get this fixed?

My 4s has no sound on most of the outgoing calls i make. It will ring the other phone I am calling but I cannot hear it nor can they hear me when they answer. Its just dead air but my phone timer is in use. How can this be corrected?

It's very possible that you have stuff running in the background that you don't even realize you have running. For example the default is for all notifications to be on and you usually need few to none of them.
That said, while an iPad can run warm, too hot to handle isn't right. ALso you should get about 10 hours....depending on what you're doing of course. If you're doing processor intensive stuff, like gaming and videos it can drain faster and generate more heat.
I would say if you have an apple store near by, make an appointment and have them check it out. If the issue is due to what they determine to be manufacturer's defects then it could fall under the warranty. But that's up to the store to determine.
