Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://h30642.www3.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59649.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 this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete,restart the notebook.
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' ( or Speakers/HP ) once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button.
Restart the notebook again before checking if the microphone now functions correctly.
Regards,
DP-K

  • Converted to Dynamic disc in error - how can I get it back to basic?

    I have created a system image onto a external HDD
    I have not yet created a system repair disc as I understand this can only be done once and I didn't want to do it at the wrong time
    Can I format the HDD back to basic then copy the disc image, or won't this work as the disc image is of a dynamic disc?
    If I create a system repair disc of the dynamic HDD will I be able to use it if I take the HDD back to basic?
    Thanks
    (kicking myself for clicking on the wrong box to convert to dynamic!!)

  • Google Chrome killed Firefox. I uninstalled Chrome. How can I get Firefox back. Reinstalling doesn't do it.

    I was using Firefox as my primary browser. After I installed Google Chrome, I could no longer open Firefox. It would appear to open, but immediately disappear. I reinstalled Firefox, but it did not solve the problem. I like Firefox; so I uninstalled Chrome. Now I cannot use either Chrome or Firefox. I simply get a blank window when I try to activate firefox. I have had to revert to IE in order to browse; however, I prefer Firefox. How do I resolve this problem?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT204088 I have reset mt iPad3 and lost my iBooks, books it keeps coming up with error how can I get them back without paying again

    Help anyone please

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic book (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iBook store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iBook store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen after you tap the store button in the top corner of the iBook app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    Hi edhones,
    Please update Acrobat to v11.0.09 and check.
    You might want to repair Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check if it installs the pdf printer back or not.

    you can download it here:

    or any Apple support downloads page, look for Safari 5.1.5
    NB: I suggest you also update SL with the Combo update to 10.6.8 (if you did not update it already).

  • Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?

    Upgraded to 10.6.1.7 as prompted and now cannot see any music purchased since March 23, 2012.  How can I get these back?
    The error message says it cannot find the file but it exists as it was transferred to my ipod.
    Thanks.

    Ack! We don't need that much.
    What you posted looks like the iTunes Library.xml file  I will let you read about how iTunes works but not only is the .xml not your main library it is just the listing of tracks in your library and where the music files should be located.  Your music is actually in media files (by the way, it is pointless to zip those as they are already compressed).  Anyway, read these and you will see that your true library file (iTunes Library.itl) is only a small, but still important, part of a complete library.
    What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
    Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    As you can see, a library has several components, so "getting it back" depends upon what is missing, what it was you actually backed up in the end, if any of this music was purchased from the iTunes Store, etc.

  • I accidently unistalled my office apps. How can I get them back??

    I accidently uninstalled my office apps. How can I get them back? 

    Hi Deanne,
    When you deleted the apps, did you also empty the trash bin. IF NOT, It could be possible to move the apps back from the trash bin to your applications folder and your done. Otherwise do you possibly have a backup of your computer on time machine or other 3rd party backup software?
    If you don't have a backup and you emptied your trash bin, the simplest way to reinstall is to use the reinstall disc and then run all the updates again.
    Good Luck,
    Matt

  • I need my Norton toolbar, how can I get it back after 4.0 download?

    4.0 disabled my Norton, AOL and Yahoo toolbars without my permission. How can I get them back?

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    I do not know about the time scale for updates for other Norton products. Pending the update by Symantec, if you want to use the Norton add-ons you will need to downgrade to Firefox 3.6.
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
    The latest version of the Yahoo toolbar works with Firefox 4, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/yahoo-toolbar
    You can contact AOL to see if they have updated their toolbar for Firefox 4

  • I got sound back, but I no longer have the iTunes Radio!  How can I get that back?

    I got the sound back after resetting, but the iTunes Radio did not come back!  How can I get that back?

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option

    Backup do not contaiuns music or apps, you will either need to resync them from your itunes computer, or you can go to purchase history in itunes or app store app and go to purchase history and redownload them.
