IDT high definition audio CODEC issue

Hi! Today i woke up, turned my laptop on and suddenly my beats audio is not working. When I click on the volume button in the bottom right hand corner, it says "there is a problem with IDT high definition audio CODEC. Reinstalling the driver might fix this problem." So I checked 'apply this fix' and a new message popped up saying, "Troubleshooting was unable to automatically fix all issues found."
I have used macbooks most of my life so i am very clueless on what to do with this issue!! I have windows 8.1 and a touchsmart PC laptop, which came with the beats audio..does anyone know how i can possibly fix this??!
This question was solved.

Sound Playback Issue with IDT High Definition Audio Codec HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

Since i bought this laptop, every time i use skype or the Windows Sound Recorder, i hear static that drastically increases in volume. Uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Codec prompts my computer to automatically install the driver again, this usually fixes the problem, but after restarting my laptop, the problem returns.
Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?

No Sound after updating IDT High Definition Audio Codec on my HP Pavilion dv6-6154tx laptop

I recently ran Advanced Driver Update to check and updated my audio driver (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) on my Windows 7 laptop. However, after the update, every time I boot up the computer, there is no audio output. I checked the volume control options and they are all fine, showing "all devices are playing sound". But there is no sound. Even the 'test sound' option does not play any audio, although the computer says that it is working fine. I read some posts on this forum and came across an answer - to uninstall the current driver from Device Manager, and manually install IDT HD Audio Driver for Windows. This works and I am able to get back the sound. However, I have to do this every time I start my computer after shutting it down, and this is proving cumbersome. Can somebody please help me with this and suggest a solution? Thanks.

HP Probook 4530s IDT High Definition Audio Codec Speakers

As the title states:
HP Probook 4530s
Windows 7 OS
IDT High Definition Audio Codec
The laptop quit playing through it's speakers, but will play through the headphone jacks when plugged in. Tolerated it for about 8 months now. Recently, while playing with it I noticed that if the System is set to headphones and you double click on the slider it begins to play through the laptop speakers for approximately 1 second. You have to keep double clicking to maintain sound through the speakers.
Now, when I go to Speakers/HP Properties it shows that the sound is to the bottom 3.5mm jack & front 3.5mm jack. This laptop has NO bottom 3.5mm jack on it, only the front 3.5mm jack.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, looked for new drivers and thought about installing an old driver but not sure how far back to go. Any suggestions would be a great help here. If you need more info please let me know what you need and where to find it and I'll provide it. Now that I know the speakers actually do work, I'd love to be able to use them again.

Now to help out with troubleshooting this here is a pic and what I think is going on:
Notice that the jacks are allegedly on the bottom and front for the speakers, only issue is there is no jack on the bottom and the front jack is for the headphones. the 10-18-2012 update that HP is tossing around ignores the fact that there is no bottom jack for the HP 4530s, g7, pavilion and dv7. I've had all of these over the years. It seems someone wrote a driver that is one size fits all and totally missed that these speakers are located someplace else.
So the question is, how do we reassign the location so it puts sound to the speakers?

HP Pavilion: IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

Hi, I have an HP Pavilion with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The speakers part of the taskbar says that there's IDT High Definition Audio CODEC speakers built in, but when I try using them no sound comes. So I was just wondering if the IDT High Defintion Audio CODEC stuff actually was.
This question was solved.

System loses the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver ver 6.10.6491.0 after some time

IDT High Definition Audio CODEC 6.10.6491.0 installed in our HP Envy Notebook - C8U19AV with Windows Pro 8.1 64 bit OS, the system will lose the driver. When I go into device manager it appears that the codecs are there but the driver for the audio just gets lost. We have to repeatedly uninstall all the audio components and then reinstall again. This has been the situation for some time. I cannot say for sure but I have reinstalled the driver twice now for my wife and she has done it a few times. We commonly use the laptop connected to an HP2710m display monitor with an HDMI cable. From time to time we plug in Bose headphones as well. The diver revision 6.10.6491.0 was again installed today after fully uninstalling the prior driver. The common signature is the sound does not work at some point and when I go in and check on the audio codec it will report no driver loaded. Any attempt to run the sp63407 install package without ripping out everything will result in the driver install failing as some of the prior files will has security that prevents the over write of the old files with the new ones.
I can seen no obvious reason for this laptop to repeatedly lose the driver. Once the reinstall is done the sound works again but it is a real bother to have to repeatedly reinstall the audio driver.

Hey purplefacemcgee,
With your issue being for Windows 7, and not for Windows 8.1, the troubleshooting steps will be a little bit different. I would first suggest reinstalling your original sound drivers. I have included the document 'Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)', please click on the option for Hardware Driver Reinstallation, and follow through the steps for reinstalling your original sound driver only.
Now once you have installed the original driver, you will need update your sound drivers. You can do both the Windows, and HP updates that are recommended for your notebook from the HP Support Assistant. I have included the document 'Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7, Windows Vista)', Please click on the option for Maintaining your computer and installing the latest software updates. Pretty much once you do have the HP Support Assistant open click on Maintain, and then Software Updates. Please install all updates that are listed. After the updates have been installed, please restart your notebook, and test the sound.
If by chance you are still experiencing the same issue, I would suggest running the Microsoft Fix It tool for 'Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems'. This tool will check the settings, drivers, and services to make sure that it is running correctly, and try to fix any issues. Please follow through these steps to run the tool, click on the green Run now button > click Save > open the download > click Run. What was the outcome of the tool, are you still experiencing the same issue with the sound?
If you are still experiencing the sound issue after the above troubleshooting steps, please let me know exactly what is happening with your sound. (ie, no sound, sound is choppy, or distorted). Does the sound issue occur in multiple programs, or just one? (ie. Windows Media Player, YouTube, or CD/DVD).
Looking forward to working with you!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59291.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 thisand then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Start the notebook and let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then 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.
Regards,
DP-K

Keep having to disable and re-enable my IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, what's wrong?

Hi!
I have a Pavillion Touchsmart Sleekbook 14" with Windows 8 that I bought new about 7 months ago. I have not yet updated to Windows 8.1.
Recently I have noticed that my audio will suddenly stop working. This typically happens when my computer has been sleeping and I start it up again. The audio does not come out through the internal speakers or headphones when I plug them in. I have not tried external speakers but I imagine the result would be the same.
If I go into my Device Manager and disable and re-enable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC the sound returns. All sound devices I have listed are related to this IDT High Definition Audio. I have tried updating the drivers, however it informs me the most updated drivers are already installed.
I am not entirely sure what is causing this problem, but I do recall installing a Windows or HP update awhile back regarding IDT High Definition Audio. I believe it was an optional update.
EDIT: After doing some further research it looks like it is related to that Windows update and the compatibility of their IDT audio drivers with Windows 8 or 8.1 does not seem very good. If all else fails I will try uninstalling the IDT CODEC all together and use the default HP audio.
Has anyone found a solution that works for them regarding this issue?

Hey,
Try installing this driver: IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
If that fails, try using the HP Recovery Manager to roll back to the factory installed driver.
Test after both. Let me know if either option worked.

I have tried:
un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model. HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070t
Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated. It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.

Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a PCIe x1 component such as:
Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357...
After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
*** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
Good Luck again!

Idt high definition audio CODEC error (39)

HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC - operating on Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
HP support assistant reads:
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - Error (39) - Driver stwrt64.sys - version 6.10.6047.5
Recently uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and now when i open it says "itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" and wont play songs

Thanks billaboard for your response.
Unfortunately, I gave up waiting for an answer and just re-set the laptop back to factory specs.... then spent the next 8 hours re-installing programs & updating windows & the HP programs to the current versions.
I won't be using an NCH product again.
In terms of who I should be asking, I would point out:
I used the inbuilt HP Support Assistant on my laptop, to diagnose why my sound wasn't working. It identified the drivers that were at issue.
I uninstalled all NCH programs
I downloaded the correct HP Audio drivers & reinstalled them. They advised it was a successful install. 8 times.
Each time I rebooted, I would run the HP Support Assistant again and it would then identify that the HP drivers were not working.
The HP Support Assistant link, for further help, led me here. If this isn't the correct place to ask for help.... a site labelled "HP Support Forum", then where the hell is ?
Thankyou again for your response. If I have further issues with other programs, I will follow your advise and re-install the offending program, before un-installing.

L channel sound comes through both L and R speakers after installing IDT High Definition Audio Codec

I noticed a sound problem on my laptop. The R channel works as expected but the L channel is split between the L and R speakers. After checking several different possibilities I narrowed the problem down to the IDT High Definition Audio Codec that I downloaded from the HP driver support page for my notebook model and operating system.
I uninstalled the IDT High Definition Audio Codec and restarted. This forced Windows to resort to using its generic "HD Audio Device" default. When I did this the sound was equally split between the L and R speakers as I would expect - L channel 100% though L speaker, R channel 100% though R speaker. I then re-downloaded the IDT High Definition Audio Codec from HP (sp59654.exe), re-installed it, and restarted. Immediately the sound problem was back - while the R channel comes 100% though the R speaker, the L channel is split between L and R speakers.
Please note this has nothing to do with adjusting speaker "balance". Both L and R channel volumes were set to 100% while investigating this problem. It's definitely some sort of incompatibilty between the IDT High Definition Audio Codec and Windows 8 64-bit or the sound hardware in the HP Envy DV6.
Here are my details:
IDT High Definition Audio Codec
Publisher: IDT
Date: 8/19/2012
Version: 6.10.6425.0
Notebook
HP Envy DV6-7200
Windows 8 64-bit

Here is what I would recommend you trying. Go to device manager and uninstall the audio driver. Once it is uninstalled, go to the device manager toolbar and select "Scan for hardware changes". After it completes, reboot the computer. Once the computer is rebooted, test the audio and let me know if that helped.
