Laptop sounds like it is going to explode! Windows 10 sound issue HP Pavilion G7

Okay, so on the 29th I updated 2 laptops, one of them an HP G7, to Windows 10 from windows 7. Had very minor issues, including the microphone and webcam not working on it. Haven't found a solution to that one yet, but 2 days ago, a new issue appeared after I rebooted (and I assume a windows update was done). There is a constant sound coming from my speakers that sounds like the computer is about to explode! It is horribly loud and doesn't respond to any sound controls including mute. So I rebooted into safe mode and disabled the speakers in device manager. Rebooted to normal and no noise - no sound at all now of course, but no issue and everything is working fine. Today, Windows did another update so I figured perhaps it had fixed the issue...nope! As soon as I enable the device, boom! Sounds like a super high/fast helocopter has moved into my laptop's case! Scared the heck out of one of my cats it is so loud! So I disabled the driver again, rebooted and noise is gone along with sound capabilities.  So right now no sound, no microphone or webcam working on my computer. Yes, I tried updating the drivers (says they are up to date). Troubleshooting tells me device is disabled (well, duh!).  I also tried uninstalling the audio drivers and reinstalling to no avail.  Devices I've disabled are the IDT high definition audio codec with driver version 6.10.6392.0.  I also disabled the Intel Display audio with driver version 6.14.0.3097 for good measure. I left that one disabled and only tried enabling the IDT though when I still had the big noise this am.  My computer is a Pavilion g7 2070ur I think it is??? (hard to read even with my glasses on ) Its on Windows 10 Home 64 bit and I have 6 GB ram.  Processor is intel core i3-2350m cpu @2.30 ghz  Anyone have ideas???

I bet the mortgage you have a 40 gig HD. They were weaker than the winner of the weakest weed in the world competition.
Remove Battery. Switch it on. Firewire it up to your buddy's mac and download everything you need. Get a new HD (80 gig was much better (and quicker)) and you'll be fine and dandy.
You'll need a new battery too.
$200 well spent I don't think. Apple should own up to the dreadful HD issues surrounding the 40 gig models - should live 5-6 years, mostly they live 2-3 (according to the repairer that fixed mine after only 18 months of minor use!)
Music to Dell's Vista loving ears no doubt!

  • MacBook Pro sounds like it's going to explode!

    Hello. I have a MacBook Pro that's currently out of warranty, so I'm hoping I can find an answer to my problem here. The problem is, my MacBook Pro makes a very loud buzzing sound, especially when I watch a video or work with any high-res graphics. Since, I'm a designer, this is a necessary part of my computing life.
    Anyway, the sound it makes is disturbing, and it almost feels like it's revving up to explode! Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Seems to me like the hard drive is working overtime.
    Please help!
    -Bill

    Does it sound like a loud grinding/revving noise, as if it's ready to trim your lawn or blow up?
    Sounds like the same problem I've had in the past. It's probably your fan — they make that terrible noise if they're a tiny bit misaligned. it's a simple fix at your Apple Store, probably a few hours or overnight repair.

  • Mac sounds like it's going to explode

    Hi
    So I have a MacBook Pro, black, somewhere around 2008 ish? OS X 10.6 Dual core
    And when my MagSafe charger is plugged in, it will be fine but the fans will become very noisy and start to become more high pitched and the computer heats up. I daren't reset anything, so I just turn it off and leave it. But to be honest, it's better plugged in when it's asleep. Also, even though iMovie and iLife suite should be downloaded, they are not there, just the plug in and sound effects folders and still they contain nothing.
    This mac is literally a day old, and I ain't losing it already
    Help?!

  • Sound Issues HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC

    Hello,
     I have HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. Recently I noticed issues with how my volume control works. I am not sure if it's an application issue (Firefox 9/10) or audio drivers. While watching playing an audio file or watching video my default playback device is set to speaker, but as soon as I plugin my headphones both headphones and speakers will go to mute. Some times disabling and re-enabling the device will solve this issue, and other than that I also have to restart Firefox to get the sound back.
     Tried installing all the available updates form windows, also reinstalled/update the sound drivers as n admin with no possible fix. Also as shown in picture below, when I try to make a Google call using Firefox I use built-in mike an headphones. During that time headphones icon will be appeared in the window shown below listed as communication device and disable both audio in/out.
    Let me know if any further information is required.
    Thanks.

    First uninstall the audio driver:
    Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager. >> Audio, video and game controlar >> right click and uninstall all values under it >> restart >> download and install the following drivers:

  • Sound Issue HP Pavilion Dv6000 OS:Windows Vista 32-bit

    After setting my notebook up to record vocals from a P.A. the internal speakers and two headphone in jacks are making a continuous, fast paced popping noise. No changes were made to the sound card or operating system previously to setting up the computer to record. The only cable I plugged in to the computer to record was a line in to the microhpone jack from the P.A. which is a setup I use to record guitars as well and have had no previous issues. The guitar amp I line out of is 75 watt amp and the P.A. is 60 watts so I don't think any kind of overload is an issue as to what cause the noise. I set volumes down on everything as a fail-safe before powering on the P.A but soon after I turned it on the speakers started making the noise. I'm unsure of what went wrong exactly but I can only draw two conclusions, either the sound card is fried or the input jacks on the computer shorted out. I disconnected the internal speakers so I can still use the computer without sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated with determining what is causing the noise or how to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    No the eSata port is not bootable.

  • Laptop sounds like a chainsaw

    My laptop makes like a wierd grinding noise. I took it in for repair  less than a week ago and the fan was replaced. However after getting it back it has returned to its usual grinding noise . It will make the same noise every couple of seconds. I have recorded a video of the sound and uploaded it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfkICMGyxH8, could it be a problem with the hardrive as I have read somewhere else, please help

    I agree, that isn't coming from the Hard Drive, I've never heard a hard drive make a sound like that.  When you got it back from repair did it make that sound right away or did it take a while?  Is it making the exact same sound that it was making before you brought it in?  Where was it that you got it repaird at?  I ask because it sounds like it is coming from the fan, but if it was just replaced, then there is something that the fan is hitting or something, but I doubt that.  Almost sounds as if a bearing in the fan is gone and that is what all that noise is about.  Just making sure that they actually replaced it!

  • SOLVED: Laptop Sound Distorting! Possible Solution?

    Ok people, I've got the solution. The answer may not be exactly what most people want to hear but it is a sure-fire way to fix the sound issue IF it is a problem with Windows 7. This will not help if the problem is hardware related. All you have to do is reinstall Windows 7, I know "scary" and "difficult". But really, it's not. Don't be scared or worried. I was, but now I could restore any computer to Factory Conditions with confidence. You can too! Don't worry, you don't need any disks.
    Just restart your computer and click F12 when you see the "TOSHIBA" BIOS screen. You have to use the Toshiba Option when restoring to factory conditions. This will reinstall Windows 7 and all programs that came with your laptop. MAKE SURE TO BACK UP ALL INFORMATION!!! It is probably a very good a idea to create a system image of your hard drive so that you can restore you computer exactly as you currently have it incase something goes wrong. Follow the steps and you'll have a brand new computer and your problem will be gone! I wish you all good luck, respond if you have questions.

    Hello there,
    I have owned my Toshiba Laptop for about 6 months. I own the A665 Model. It has an i3 intel processor and 4 gb ram. Only recently have I experienced problems.
    My problem, which seems to be common as I've seen in other posts, is that the sound from my speakers distorts whenever there is ANY sound. For example, when I listen to Pandora Internet Radio, I'll ONLY hear the music, but the voices will sound distant and very soft. Any other noise will freeze momentarily and then crackle and continue.
    I have an interesting observation that I'd like to make known though... I recently installed another OS and run this machine as a DUAL Boot system. My two OSes are Linux Ubuntu and Windows 7. On Ubuntu, my sound works PERFECTLY. There is absolutly no distortion, pausing, crackling, static--nothing! I think this is interesting and would like someone who is more informed to give their opinion. I have already updated all of my drivers, updated my bios, removed my battery and held power for 30 sec, and have tried most all other suggestions offered on forums. I am almost certain that the problem lies with Windows 7. It must be software or driver related BECAUSE the sound works perfectly when I boot into Ubuntu. No one else has mentioned this. Please respond. Thank you.
    I have attached a paint file with my System Information.
    Edit:
    My Model number is: A665-S5170
    Part Number: PSAW0U-OFU033

    Specifically which A665 model do you own, like Satellite A665-S6088, and what is your model's part number like PSAW0U-04D031? Look on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your computer.

  • My G5 won't boot up. The Gray screen comes on and it thinks about it until the fan revs up like it is about to explode. A friend said to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. Didin't work. Any suggestions? Isn't there a key stroke to help

    Oh, so this is where I ask my question. Sorry, first time here. As I was saying in my long intro, the gray screen come up and the thing is spinning at the bottom, but nothing happens. Then the fan starts reving up like it is about to explode and I have to manually shut it off. A friend told me to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. I couldn't find the thing, so I went out and bought another. Needless to say, it didn't work. Is there a key stroke to help jump start the machine? How can I get into this thing? I would prefer not to take it in because there are a lot of things on there I don't want just anyone to have access to.Thanks, in advance, for your help!

    Your drive does need to be repaired, and best things to buy are another backup recovery drive, with a small OS X partition; a copy of Disk Warrior is expensive @ $90 but excellent and best.
    Never bother with or use the drive or reinstall while there are errors. Don't take a "clean' bill from Apple Disk Utility to mean there are no errors. Only that it didn't find what it looked for.

    Make sure to have multiple backup sets and of your system so if there is a serious problem, you can just erase and restore to be back runninig.
    Sounds like your G5 though needs PMU reset, not PRAM, and the best way for those is to clear nvram instead. might even want to check for dust; tell what System Profile says (later) as to "PowerMacX,Y" or "MacProX,1"
    http://www.apple.com/support/powermac or /macpro
    http://www.apple.com/support/sitemap/
    The Utility menu is on the menu bar of an "OS X Install DVD" and at the point where you get to but stop at "install....' for OS X. you probably do need to install OS X on another drive to work from.
    Oh, a real severe issue and damage to the drive directory or filesystem CAN in cases prevent booting from DVD (the system still tries to find and see what boot volumes are present) and can help to pull or disconnect the drive. Putting a drive in a FW case to turn on after startup is very useful.

    So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
    Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Intermittent Sound Issues - HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop

    Hi,
    I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop running Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium and have been running into some strange sound issues first.  
    First, on occassion when I start my laptop I will get a "No Audio Output Device Installed" Message, and no sound controllers show up in the device manager.  Strangely, sometimes if I restart the laptop or put it into hibernation and bring it back, the output device will again work.
    Also, when it is working I am experiencing other strange issues.  Often, sound will work only through headphones, and not through the built in Altec Lansing speakers.  Other times, even with the headphones plugged in, I only get sound through the speakers.  And sometimes, no sound through either, even though the computer at this point is showing a working audio device.
    Lastly, when the sound does work through the speakers, it is normally crackling and distorted - it doesn't sound right at all.
    The sound device installed on the computer is Contextant Smart Audio 221 (At least when it chooses to be working...)
    I hope there is a solution to this problem, thank you very much for any support!

    I also have a HP Pavillion laptop, with Windows Vista..  I am having sound issues, but not the same ones..  mine often displays the volume bar on the screen, clicking like I'm turning it up or down.. I can't get it to stop or go away.. I usually have to reboot and most of the time it stops, until the next time I open the laptop.  Also, when it's not doing this, I can't control my volume from the touch pad volume control at the top of my keyboard.  I thought maybe it was just damaged because it seems to have some scratches in that area where the top connects when closed, but I didn't think it made sense that rebooting will stop this, even temporarily.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, however, one driver didn't come back.. it actually seemed to be better at first, but now I have to reboot it almost everytime I open it.  I thought if I didn't leave it in hibernation, just turn it off, while not using it, that would help, it didn't.  I have also tried updating the drivers and they are updated.. If anyone knows what else I can do, please help, it's terribly annoying, plus I have a lot of music on it, I'd like to listen to it sometime.
