Realtek High Definition Audio Driver Update Means NO AUDIO!

I have a HP 15-e050sa and it recently updated the driver for the Realtek HD Audio and since then the audio does not work at all. I rolled back the driver and this fixed the problem but I now get messages every day telling me that there is a new driver available, even though I've chosen to hide the update.
This problem needs to be sorted out as I can't keep dismissing the update message in case I miss something important!
Callum_D

Hello Callum_D. I understand you are getting driver messages, even though they are supposed to be hidden. This is definitely caused by rolling back the driver you installed, since the computer now absolutely knows something is available. I would attempt a System Restore, and restore the computer to a date before you updated the driver. Here is a document on how to perform a System Restore: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows7/products/features/system-restore
Please inform me after this is completed so I know the results. I will continue to troubleshoot if necessary. I'm only here to help!

IDT high definition audio not working

Maybe I'm just unlucky i don't really know. But Win 8.1 has been an utter disaster for me i hate the interface and the myriad problems with drivers and giving permission to certain files even though you turned UAC off. Anyway my latest woe is now i have no sound, it was working fine this morning and when i came back to it all i get is scratchy sound. the on board sound is IDT high definition audio and windows says the device is working just fine. The scratchy sound is still there through my Roccatt headset when i unplug the speakers so it must be the sound card methinks. But can it BE when windows says its working fine?Tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling all to no avail still the problem persists. even tried to restore the computer to an earlier time but the problem still remains in fact i have no sound its just scracthy noise.Running win 8.1 64bit HP Pavillion 500-081A any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi merlin851526,
Sorry to hear about your experience with Windows 8.1 I will be happy to help you with your sound problem. I have two different options for you to try. I know that you have already tried reinstalling the drive but try the driver I have linked below. It has helped others resolved their sound issues with 8.1. I have also included a link to the Microsoft FixIt Tool to fix sound issue with Windows 8. To be honest I am not sure if it supports Windows 8.1 but it is worth a look.

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!

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.

Hi @Harkri ,
I have brought your issue to the appropriate team within HP. They will need to get information from you to look up your case details or serial number. Please look for a private message.

Windows 8.1 IDT High Definition Audio Codecfor P7-1421 Driver Missing

I installed Windows 8.1 on my P7-1421 Pavilion desktop PC on Thursday and now have no sound. A phone call to HP customer support was unsuccessful in solving my problem, as the rep said HP has no Windows 8.1 IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver for my machine. Does anyone know if there's a Windows 8.1 audio driver for my PC or if I have a solution other than going back to Windows 8?
Thank you!
This question was solved.

You're most welcome.
Sorry that didn't work either.
Did you try auto updating the driver from the device in the device manager?
See this thread where another forum member stated he upgraded his PC to W8.1 with the IDT audio chip and he got the driver from Microsoft.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-Software-Recovery/can-HP-model-number-h8-1414...
If that doesn't work...
Just for kicks, see if this generic W7 driver one from Intel works...
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=19282&keyword=IDT+audio&DownloadType...
If not, then I guess you'll have to wait as you said, until a driver is released for W8.1.

Windows 10 IDT High Definition Audio Codec doesn't work properly on Hp Envy 20d001-la after update

I'm using a Windows 10 just updated pc, Hp Envy 20 d001la, and I'm having problems with my speakers, they work with IDT High Definition Audio Codec driver. It has beatsAudio available, but the bass don't sound the right way, I can barely hear it. It has a low quality sound... the worst quality. This problem isn't new for me, when upgraded to Windows 8.1, also the problem apeared, when the driver released with a new version, specificly for Windows 8.1, but how did I solve it? I only installed the Original Audio Controller found on Hp Support & drivers page (It was designed for work on Windows 8 64 bits). So, I know Windows 10 is newer than ever, and sure of some bugs or little corrections after updating. But when I try to install the Windows 8 Original controller to get the extreme sound quality again, it can't be installed. The problem says: "Operating system doesn't has the requirements" The new drivers have low sound quality (driver Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 versions) If I could install the Windows 8 version driver, I'm sure the sound quality returns. Thanks in advance.

Hi! Thanks a lot, I've tried the solution you've given me, (extracted the setup file with winrar on a folder and search for the driver as you said) but an error message shows: "There are not compatible drivers on the selected folder, try with one for Windows x64" It happens with both drivers I have, W8 & W8.1 versions. And also I have other problem, I didn't connect the headphones when trying solving the problem, and when I connected them, a surprise: The speakers didn't shutdown, they continue playing sounds and the headphones and speakers were playing sound at the same time. I've checked for the internal connector and The connector is clean. Then I tried to install W8.0 IDT setup manually clicking on the files extracted, the process finished succesfully, and system restarted, the sound quality came again, but still when I connect the headphones, the speakers don't shutdown and sometimes music stops. The problem is with all versions of driver I tried, the W10 got by Windows update, the found on Device Manager, the W8 , W8.1installed manually, But not worked.I hope in a future upade the problem could be solved, because I listen to music always only on headphones to avoid disturb others. Thanks, I'm trying a new method if is kanown for you. Thanks a lot.

IDT High Definition Audio Codec Cannot Start Code 10

I accidentally turned off my HP dv6 in the middle of a security update. When I turned it back on all the audio, usb, bluetooth, and network drivers had failed. I, having no experience with this kind of issue, took it to the local laptop repair shop. They backed up my computer on their network and re-installed windows. When I picked it up the internet and the sound seemed to be working so I paid and left. After a few days of messing around on my computer I realized that Beats by DRE was nowhere to be found! I looked for the answer online and tried to download IDT high definition audio but I keep getting this error! I want beats by DRE back! What do I do?!
The Bluetooth doesn't work either - _ -

You can find drivers specific to your model by using the link at top of this page titled "Support" & then "Drivers".
You may want to order Recovery Media to restore the laptop back to factory settings since it appears the repair shop did not do a reinstall using your Recovery partition on hard drive which would have reinstalled Beats and other original drivers/software.

Hi,
I too have been pulling my hair out with this problem on the 6540B. However after 2 days of various driver combinations I've finally found a working fix. I don't have the luxury of reinstalling Windows XP as the machine is custom configured with apps which will take over a week to configure again.
If you've got no audio it's probably because you've installed the IDT High Def Audio Driver. You may have tried a whole bunch of other options also to try and rectify the problem as I did.
The solution is fairly simple:
Goto to add/remove programs and remove "SoundMax".
Reboot
The audio driver may try to reinstall on boot up... allow it to install. It will still not work and will still show exclamation mark against IDT driver in Device Manager.
Goto run... then type regedit and hit enter. Windows registry opens.
Goto My Computer>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Services>
Delete the WHOLE KEY for AEAudio and then exit regedit
Go to device manager and uninstall the IDT High Def Audio device from Device Manager
Then using the original HP Application and Driver Recovery DVD supplied with the notebook, run the autoplay, choose Hardware Enabling Drivers, tick only the IDT High Def Audio driver and follow the installation instruction on screen. You will be prompted to reboot after which Windows will find new hardware. The IDT will install itself and you will find that the sound works!
Good Luck!

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?
