HP Probook 6540b problem with fan speed and sound card

Hi.
Sorry for my English.
I have installed Arch 32bit on probook 6540b (it has core i5 processor). Cpufrequtils works well - with governor set on ondemand frequency is adjusting correctly but fun is running max speed all the time. I have tried to configure lm_sensors but it doesn`t detect any sensors. Also fun folder in acpi is empty. It would be great if You could help me.
Thanks for any advice.
...ergh
Fan sometimes works slow so maybe its overheating problem.
But
I have another problem with sound on this laptop. I have IDT 92HD75B3X5 sound chip and snd-hda-intel module loaded for it but it doesn`t make any sound. In Amarok it looks like something is playing because progress bar is moving. I have tried everything from arch wiki and other sources but nothing works. Maybe You can help?
Thanks

Hi. Yes. I also tried all tricks with model etc. and nothing. Now I have installed oss and have some progress. I have sound on pcm2 when I run osstest, no sound on pcm1 (but it looks in test like it plays something) and input/output errors from pcm3 to pcm7. I have oss output in multimedia in kde and when I run test I can see moving strips or something (I dont know the word for it ) in ossxmix but I hear nothing. I I tried all configurations in ossxmix and nothing.

Problem with fan speed on FM2-A75-P33

I have a problem with setting a lower cpu fan speed on my motherboard (Win7 64).
It always runs on high speed, and I can not decrease it. When I set values for min speed in ClickBios II (or manually in Bios before booting) to 0%, and desired temperature on some higher amount (60C), nothing happens. It always run on same high rpm, regardless any change of values. What can I do? Same thing with sys fan.
Live Bios says that I have latest version of BIOS and drivers.
thanks

That is odd. Only thing I can think of is maybe a conflict in settings between Click Bios and actual BIOS. One of the reasons I never use those programs. I'm not sure what to tell you, except that the fan speed settings on my board have all worked properly using standard BIOS settings.
If I was having issues I'd uninstall click BIOS and see if the issue continues. At least then you would know it's something else.

Problems with Windows x64 and Sound blaster l

Hey, I have this issue with my sound blaster li've. I've just recently installed Windows x64 and now I'm having issues with my sound. It creates this weird echo sound with a small static sound everytime a game. Prior to loading any applications, the sound is just fine. I had this issue when I had Windows XP but I installed the Li've applications and was able stop that. But I can't install that application for Windows x64. Is there any solution to this? Thanks in advance.

kennydo you have aim or msn or anything where we can talk, because i have relati'vely same stuff as you. Thanks very much

Problems with streaming videos and sound

Final restart again the computer. The window should detect the 3 thing. Last last install the driver from the CD given. Then everything will work out.

Problem with fan, temperature and battery after the restore from the stop (Macbook pro 15)

From a couple of weeks my macbook pro (15" 2.4 Ghz i7 4gb OS X 10.7.4) has this problem: when i close the screen it goes to stop and when i open it goes out the stop normaly but the fan and the temperature increase and the battery last nothing. So i reboot the mac and everithings go to normal way and also battery time increase in comparison with before...

I've found that samsung kies wifi started at the login and that the app used 91% of my cpu and filled up my ram so i went to: system preference > users and groups > login's elements > and i deleted the app from the list.

Problem with fan noise and battery on g510

I bought an new lenovo g510 ( core i5 4200m and amd r5-m230 ) from 3 days
and notice that fan has a noise most of the time and when i check the battery wear level on hwmonitor it is has 1 % wear level so why i got these problem and my laptop is bought from just 3 days !!!!!!

Hey. Really sorry for late answer. i got same model (but i7 , r7 m265 )
For the fan noise ; check out gpu and cpu temperatures . clean the fan dust with power manager program. and update drivers.
for the battery , %1 wear is nothing . only affects 1-2 mins . battery has internal smbus battery fuel gauge and it automatically calibrates battery full charge capacity. but you can manual calibrate fcc with power manager. we are very lucky because on some hp ,samsung etc laptops , battery comes with %10 wearage (like my old laptop).
you post this message 6 months ago. if your battery wear is >%15 now , send battery to service. they will replace a new battery. if battery wear <%10 , your battery is normal

Boot Camp problems with Windows 7, and a new Macbook Pro

When I try to install Windows 7, when the process is almost complete and Windows is finalizing all settings, the system reboots then gets stuck at the white/gray bootscreen, and then tries to boot from disk, only to repeat the bootscreen cycle indefinitely. How do I fix this? Thank you very much.

My MAC BOOK is 13 inch, first generation of unibody that I bought when it first came out last November, 2009. It seems that the latest boot camp 3.1 does not support windows7 64 bits on my mac book model. I followed Apple instruction to upgrade boot camp 3.0 when running XP 32 bits. And I then upgrade my XP 32 bits to 64 bit Windows 7. The upgrade/installation was successful but I encountered a lot of problems with the mouse and sound.
1. No sound with my new Windows 7 64 bits.
2. I managed to make Windows 7 64 bit recognize my apple mighty mouse. But the mouse does not funtion normal as expected. It does not work with swiping and scrolling.
3. I could not re-install boot camp 3.0 from windows.old nor from the Mac OS X installation disk. When I tried to run setup.exe from the MAC OS X snow leopard, I got the error "Boot camp x64 is unsupported for this model"
I am really disappointed that boot camp 3.1 is not universally supported for all mac book or mac book pro.
I need help to re-install boot camp for my Windows 7? I bought the upgrade through education upgrade program and I selected to get 64 bit version so I do not want to rollback the installation to 32 bit.
Please help.

Fan Speeds, and Mirror Raid with New Internal Hard Drive

Regards,
I recently installed and formatted a new hard drive in my PowerMac dual 2.3 ghz computer and I have a few questions.
1. Now that there are two hard drives do I need to do anything to ensure that the fan on my computer can keep them cool? I think the fans I have in the hard drive bay is enough, but I do not know if they will automatically set themselves to run properly. I can monitor the fan speeds and temp from iStat pro, but do not remember what level the temperature was before installing the new one.
2. Given that my new drive is a SeaDisc hard drive and the older one is a Western Digital, will this cause any problems in creating a mirrored RAID. I believe that both are 7200rpm drives, and my second hard drive is a little larger (I will just have unused space after making the RAID). I am concerned with the fact that these two drives are from two different manufactures. Will this cause problems or drastically slow down the reading and writing of data? Has anyone else experienced problems in making a mirrored RAID from two hard drives that are not exact matches, and even come from different manufacturers?
Any advice will help.
Thanks
earpshmael

Hi earpshmael;
Generally when creating RAID arrays the more similar the drive the less problems you tend to have.
The real question is exactly why do you want or need RAID?
I think so many people seem to think that RAID will solve all of their problem. I hate to tell you the bad news but it will not.
Generally there are to varieties of RAID available using the software RAID built into OS X which are 0 and 1. RAID 0 or stripling is generally for moving large file rapidly for applications like HD video. It usually doesn't help the OS. RAID 1 or mirroring is for protection from drive failure. It is not a valid backup solution.

IMac (early 2009), 3.06 GHz, ATI 4850 - fan speed and temperature questions

Well, so I downloaded and installed Temperature Monitor and iMac Fan Control - mainly for observational purposes and not for toying around with the fan speeds and I've got some questions. Mind you, I haven't tampered at all with the fan speed settings, just installed Fan Control. Here are my readings (while browsing the internet with Safari and doing a chat via iChat):
Fan Speeds:
CPU fan (desired) 1300 RPM / (current) 1530 RPM
HD fan (desired) 2100 RPM / (current) 2099 RPM
DVD fan (desired) 1300 / 1298 RPM
Temperatures:
CPU Heatsink: 92°F
Internal HD: 108°F
Internal DVD: 95°F
GPU Heatsink: 107°F
Are these, under the circumstances, normal readings?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Your welcome and no problem. I would say only the Apple engineers can tell you why the fans are set to those speeds however my best guess is the obvious they found those speeds the closest to keeping the temps at an optimum operating temperature. I found when I'm doing graphics intensive work my machine heats up but quickly cools down when I'm done.

MSI R7870-2GD5T/OC problems with fans

Greetings.
I just bought this card and got some problems with fans: when temperature of GPU rises above 52-55 degrees fans start spining at maximum speed.
Tried fix that using MSI afterburner/Catalyst control center - no effect, fan speed showed as I set up, but the tachometer shows 4400 rev / min, which is confirmed by the characteristic sound.
I hope that there is a fix for this beacause i cant RMA my videocard, I accidentaly lost the box, and since I paid 190€ i would like to have some support from MSI.
Thanks.
Edit: Noticed now that here nobody work for MSI, well an help would be great anyway

the Original box doesn't matter if its gone as MSI don't like them in original box as they won't return the card in it.
as long as you have the original receipt from your purchase and the Graphics card your all good....
as for the problem your having it will be a leak current on a faulty safety catch diode (201) as they got a bad batch a while back that when it gets hot it opens the fan circuit to maximum as it thinks the card is overheating. (either remove it carefully (as long as you do not damage the card your warranty is still intact as the removal of that component is what MSI suggested when the issue first showed up) or RMA the card)

[Solved] lm-sensors fan speeds and voltage.

After installing lm-sensors and running sensors-detect I have the following readings from sensors;

I am sure in the recent past I was able to retrieve fan speed and voltage readings from this machine;

I suspect this is something that I am doing wrong (or is it a kernel issue??) as I have the same problem on a similar machine running Ubuntu 10.04.
Any ideas appreciated.

Problem with m3u files and Quicktime

Hello:
I have made one update with Quicktime software (version 7.6.9 1680.9). The problem is that Quicktime player reproduces mp3 files but when I try to play m3u files the sound is very bad. It sounds like gargling.
For example: This files play ok:
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/Sarabande.mp3
It plays ok when the previous link is introduced as URL address in Quicktime player, but the corresponding m3u files sounds like gargling
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/list0.m3u
I think there a problem with m3u files and Quicktime.
Tank you very much and best regards.

I have discovered that when the URL is playing (with gargling sound) if I open the A/V controls in QT menus and I move the Jog Shuttle or the Speed level then the sound becomes good.
Yes! Great catch, ttfrank. I can replicate that too.
Interesting ... if (after getting the sound working properly again) you then pause play of the m3u, and start it again, you get the gargling/dalekish sound quality back again.
Bug reporting ... there's a couple of ways you can go about doing this. You can use the QuickTime product feedback form:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
... but if you want to track progress on the bug, try instead registering as an Apple Developer (for free):
http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/
... and then you'll be able to submit the bug via the Apple Bug Reporter:
http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
In the meantime, there's also a restricted forum available to level 4 and 5 members ("Notable New Technical Issues") where we can report this sort of thing. I'll try to get a post written up on the topic there later today.

Help with Fan Speed/Temperature Monitoring - 875P Neo Series 2.0

Hi
My mobo manual doesn't explain the monitoring facilities available on this board and I would like confirmation of the following:
My P4 Northwood CPU Fan as supplied with P4 is connected to CFAN1 and provides monitoring of temperature and fan speed and also permits fan speed control.
My Northbridge Fan as supplied with mobo is connected to NBFAN1 and provides monitoring and control of fan speed. No temperature monitoring available.
My mobo provides monitoring of system temperature but doesn't say how this is measured and at what location.
There are two other 3-pin fan headers on the mobo; one is labelled SFAN1 with Gnd, +12V and the third pin NC and the other is labelled PFAN1 with Gnd, +12V and Sensor pins.
My new Antec 500W SmartPower 2.0 PSU has a monitoring cable that is wired with a black Gnd wire and a blue Sensor wire and, according to the Antec manual, is supposed to provide fan speed monitoring if connected to PFAN1 - I have tried this and get no information showing in either SpeedFan or Sandra. ???
My new Case fan, an Antec SmartCool, also has a monitoring cable but only has the third pin wired, presumably a sensor wire, and presumably could also be attached to PFAN1 instead of the PSU signal connector to provide fan speed monitoring. ??? Obviously I cannot connect both the PSU and Case Fan sensor cables to the mobo because the SFAN1 connection has no sensor pin connected; I presume this one is just a power supply to a fan as an alternative to using a supply line direct from the PSU.
Can anyone advise me on the correct use of the PFAN1 and SFAN1 connectors and what they are capable of.

- System temperature is measured at the Winbond W83627HF sensor chip located in front of your PCI slots.
- PFAN1 does indeed monitor PSU fan speed if the PSU has a fan speed reporting header. Not supported by some monitoring software (if Speedfan can't detect it, it doesn't support it. At least not until Alfredo's next revision).
- SFAN1 provides power only, no monitoring.
- Try a different monitoring software and see if it can detect the sensor monitoring your PFAN1. There are other monitoring software out there you can try, such as the CoreCenter that came with your motherboard, or Motherboard Monitor 5 or PCWizard (though you cannot adjust fan RPM through those programs).
