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!
For those that cannot find their original disk, the IDT Audio Driver from the original disk is available at http://tinyurl.com/IDTAudio6540b or http://www.4shared.com/file/RxXn5afj/IDTAUDIO.html

  • IDT High Definition Audio - No sound

    After bringing my HP Pavilion p6-2133w out of sleep mode I have no sound. I have tried reintalling and updating driver.

    Hello @Matthewcs,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that after going into sleep mode your computer's audio will not work now. I am providing you with an HP Support document: No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7), which has steps designed to address the sound not working on a computer.
    Now if the sound did work and just recently stopped you can also try the steps set out in the HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7), which will restore your computer back to a point in time where you were not experiencing this issue. This will not effect your personal files.
    Please feel free to re-post if you still require assistance. Thank you for posting this question on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • CP4 / Windows 7 / IDT High Definition Audio CODEC / No worky

    Hi,
    I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 which has a IDT High Definition Audio CODEC sound card.
    I got Captivate 4 installed and seemly working great... UNTIL I go to record the voice over.  It doesn't recognize my microphone.  It's not that the sound quality is bad - it just doesn't record at all.  No green or red appear when calibrating input.
    I checked and set volume in the sound control panel and it works there.
    I tried to record with Soundbooth and had the same problem.  Doesn't recognize it.  Tired all available drop downs, line in, microphone etc.
    I'm not sure what to do next.
    Anyone run into this before or have any ideas about how to solve this?
    Many thanks,
    Aimee

    FYI - for others who may experience this problem with Win7
    This problem was resolved by a combination of steps.
    1) updating the driver on the sound card to a Win7 compatible
    2) replacing the .dll file in the captivate installation folder (see http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/audio_play_back_and_usb_mic_is.html)
    I thought the updated .dll file by now would be a part of the CP4 patch but it isn't - so if you experience this problem you need both apply the patch and replace the .dll file.
    Thanks,
    Aimee

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?
