Installed 7.5 and now audio sound "distant"

I just installed 7.7 and now audio for all applications is not working properly. Have realtek sound card (factory) - drivers are OK - PC doctor diag shows that both left and right channels are coming from both speakers (I have only 2) and if I am correct, it sounds like only the "rear" channels although I have not set this computer up for 5.1 or greater sound. Basically missing a lot of components of the sound. Any ideas?

OK - just checked out the reltek device from the control panel - the default device select is the "realtek HD audio rear output" - I wonder if this means "rear" speakers? I wonder how this all happened?

  • Installed Mountain Lion and lost audio

    2.26 core 2 duo
    13" mid 2009

    4 gb
    Installed Mountain Lion and lost audio.
    How do I get it back?!

    1. Open Activity Monitor.app (Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app)
    2. Select ‘All Processes’ from the drop down menu next to the search bar (called ‘Filter:’) and type in ‘coreaudio’.
    3. Select the process name and click the ‘Quit Process’ button at the top. Chose ‘Quit’ or ‘Force Quit’ from the resulting dialogue box.
    The coreaudio process will automatically restart itself (if you look closely at the PID number in Activity Monitor you’ll notice it changes after you hit ‘Quit’) and your sound problems should be solved.

    Well, what happens when you try to use it. That would help in the troubleshooting. Have you contacted your cellular carrier? Voicemail is a carrier function.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

    I used disk permission repair to try to resolve this as well as a 'soft' restart. Still have a grayed-out mute checkbox in the sound section of system preferences.

  • HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!!!!!!

    I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!

    Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion.  I've done all that.  I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password.  I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password).  My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do.  His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume).  We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
    I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections.  They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired.  Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit.  My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely.  The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed?  I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
    Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard.  I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update.  Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

  • I installed IOS 7 and now it won't accept my password. How do i fix it?

    I finally got around to installing IOS 7 and now my phone won't accept the 4 digit passcode. I didn't think about disabling that feature before the upgrade. Never had a problem before. And yes, I'm sure I'm using the right code. I use it many times per day! I tried plugging into my computer and itunes but since it isn't unlcocked it won't recognize it. Likewise with iCloud. I tried find my phone and it comes up offline. This is a last ditch effort. I can't even phone a friend! Any workaround?

    The security is tighter in iOS7,
    When you install it for the first time it asks you a few questions to configure these new settings, and I'm wondering that you may be confusing the new authorization scheme for your old password.
    When first running iOS7 after the upgrade it will ask you for (not your iPhone password) but your iCloud/Apple ID password.
    Read the questions carefully and make sure that you're not confusing the two as prompted. You may not be, but this is my initial thoughts, as the install does not change any existing passwords but does link the hardware to iCloud to further prevent theft.

  • Installed itunes 6 and now CD/DVD drive won't work at all

    I just bought a new ipod and installed the software and now my CD/DVD drive won't work at all. Here is my info: Could someone please help!!!

    If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

    If anyone has a solution for this stupid problem that would be great.
    Thanks

    Yes, I suspect that it's the virtual drive emulator software you have there. I know nothing about that software and it doesn't look like the Roxio support page even mentions it, so it's probably software old enough that they're not supporting it anymore.
    To uninstall any software, I would start with the "Add and Remove Programs" Control Panel. Uninstall it there, and then use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility —
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=290301
    Download and install that. Run it and find the drive emulator software on the list and remove it there. And reboot and see if that has successfully removed it.
    There is a work around that if we just remove the iTunes CD driver, you'll probably get your drive back, but you'll only be able to rip CDs, you won't be able to burn them without the iTunes CD driver installed. You do have some Pinnacle CD burning software installed. Are you currently using that or is that leftover cruft as well?

  • Installed 10.1 and now can't access itunes store

    Just installed 10.1 and now getting a message that "Itunes can not connect to the Itunes Store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again". I am connected to the internet. Made no changed to network settings. Reinstalled Itunes 10.1. No dice. No pop up blockers on. No software firewall. Next steps?

    Interesting side note. I had posted to this forum earlier on the issue above - essentially a "me too, i'm also having problems with iTunes upgrade" - a post like many others I see in the forum. But I also copied in a letter I had sent to iTunes support when they failed to offer any solutions to my problem, and urged users to send something similar to iTunes if they were having problems as well - essentially to get Apple to own up and take responsibility. All I want is Apple to say, yes we recognize there is a problem and we're working to fix it.
    iTunes support told me they were not aware of any problems with 7.6. As I read through the 100's of other posts on this site about problems I saw many people who got a similar message from Apple.
    Apple promptly deleted my earlier post, and sent me an email saying that I was discussing Apple Policy, and that's not allowed apparently.
    I'm wondering then - is it Apple Policy to deny technical problems that are obviously impacting many users? And when that's highlighted there response is to censor them?
    I wonder if this post will get censored. I'm probably on their watch list.
    Appreciate anyone helping with my problem, or echoing if you've had the same.
