Lost sound when upgraded to Windows

I lost sound when I upgraded my Gateway Solo250 from Windows 98 to Windows XP Home. On Device manager, the systems reports that my sound controls are working but the Multimedia Audio Controller is not installed (Problem 28). I have downloaded drivers from Gateway and from Creative Labs Sound Blaster Li've but can not install them. I get the error message that no sound card is being detected. What happened? How do I fix this without messing up anything else, since the computer is operating smoothly, except without sound. Thanks for your help!

I have the exact same problem. I got numbers off of the creative chip on the motherboard, if that helps to get a solution. Gateway lists that XP is not supported on solo250. Creative is the only source that can solve this, since all of these companies laid off all of the developers. Did you find any help at all? I would hate to go back to win98...

Install the required Windows drivers: Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033. Download this link preferably from Windows. Otherwise, download onto a FAT formatted USB disk from which you can copy to your Windows system.

What do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?

QuestionWhat do I do with F-Secure Freedome when upgrading to Windows 10?
AnswerWhen upgrading your operating system from Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 to Windows 10, you can choose to:
Keep your programs and data through the Windows 10 upgrade (Recommended)
If you choose to upgrade to Windows 10 whilst keeping your programs and data, the Freedome application does not get removed and continues to work normally after the upgrade.
Make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation
If you choose to make a fresh (clean) Windows 10 installation, you will need to reinstall Freedome after the Windows 10 upgrade. Do note that this method of upgrade requires you to type in a new subscription code as every installation of Freedome uses one of your available subscriptions.
Note: If you have had an expired trial subscription of Freedome on your computer before the Windows upgrade, it will remain expired after Windows has been upgraded. This applies to both the Windows upgrade methods mentioned above.

Thanks but the tool only works if you have one working windows installation and it's designed for mult-boot systems. I don't have a multi-boot system and when the Windows 10 upgrade fails there is no active working Windows install to turn to. The partition gets corrupted and has a "RAW" status until you run chkdsk with gets it back to "NTFS" status but it won't boot. My only two options at this point is to restore back to an image backup or install Windows 7 all over again. I'm just going to give up on this HP laptop, to me it's just not compatible with running this upgrade, so unless someone else has any other ideas this attempt to upgrade is over. Thanks again

Lost my HP deskjet 3512 printer function when upgrading to Windows 8.1 - can't get it back!

I lost my wireless connection from my Hp A6 Vision lapptop to my HP 3512 deskjet printer when I upgraded to Windows 8.1. I'm told it is installed but it is not responding. I'v tried following instructions and even using the Hp wizard to get it up and running. Is it even compatible with 8.1? What do I need to do?

Hi @periwinklejoy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you lost your wireless connection to your HP Deskjet 3512 after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I am happy to help!
The printer is definitely compatible with Windows 8.1. As there are drivers available at this website, HP Deskjet 3510 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers.
I would recommend the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software. (In case there are old drivers still installed, if not then carry on to the next step).
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Then follow this guide, Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection.
Hope this helps you, and thank you for posting!

One finger scrolling lost when upgraded to windows 10

Going back to Windows 7 was not a very viable option after using half of my monthly data quota to get upgraded to Windows 10. Using the old driver works better and I quit using Windows Explorer (Edge) and instead am using Google Chrome for my internet and the scrolling works well with it. Problem solved.

No sound after upgrading to Windows 8 HP G60-553NR Notebook

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7 64-bit on my HP G60-553NR and went through 3 tiers of tech support with Windows because after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro.... I had no sound coming from my speakers from my notebook nor will sound play when headphones are plugged in. Windows Tech support said that there are no compatable sound drivers to download, which leaves me with no sound completely which is no bueno. So, is there a driver that I can download that will work on my notebook?! If not, how do I downgrade to Windows 7. I'm a DJ and I really need some sound like asap. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Thanks

Do an HP system recovery to get back.
If you have discs - put first in and boot.
If not, you can go into settings from CHarms and advanced to select recover. Here's more: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03489643

Popping sound after upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit

I recently upgraded my T61 with Windows 7, 64-bit. I added 2 GB of memory to take it to the max limit of 4GB. However, when I log off, I get a popping sound twice, and when I log in, I hear it once.
I was able to generate the same popping sound when I either mute or unmute the sound on my laptop.Also, when I plug in external speakers into the speaker plug, I get the popping sound as well.
Any idea as to why I'm experiencing this issue? Is there a driver issue? It's not affecting the performance of my laptop, but it is very annoying and didn't happen when I had 2 GB and Windows XP Professional (32-bit)
Thanks

Hello,
You mentioned that you upgraded the operating system to the 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows 7. Did you install over a previous operating system, such as the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista, or perform a clean install of Windows 7?

No sound after upgrading to Windows 7 M55-S3293

I upgraded to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from Toshiba for my sound card and before installing checked the windows XP box under the compatibility tab. No sound. I did windows update for this driver and it installed an updated driver. No sound. I went to Realtek and installed the windows 7 generic driver for this sound card (thats all manufacturer's offer is a generic driver) and LOW sound. Now I rebooted and back to No sound.
Before windows 7 sound, after no sound.
Toshiba put out a fix for a contextant audio driver for the low sound problem to be corrected with windows 7 but I cannot find anything for my computer.
I don't know know what to do! I don't want to go back to using XP but sound is REALLY important. I would think this is an integrated sound card (Toshiba isn't making service manuals public anymore, it was there the other day and gone today) so I cannot remove it. I don't think I have any available PCI slots to install a new one internally and I don't want extrenal speakers since I do a lot of traveling.
Is there a fix I don't know about? What can I do? Please HELP!!!

Hi Ryan,
Go here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=1671893&pf=true
and download the software called "Sound Utility to Turn Mute Off After Upgrading to Vista", it is made for people that upgrade to VISTA, however, once you have all your Toshiba updates installed by downloading the Toshiba updates, then apply this update to your Windows7 system and the problem will resolve.
I don't know why they did not make this update part of the Toshiba Update Package.
I hope this helps,
best,
Alejandro

Issue with store apps when upgrading to Windows 8.1

Every once in awhile when performing an in-place upgrade from Windows 8.0 Enterprise to Windows 8.1 Enterprise, we will experience a strange issue where most of the default store apps will not launch. They will attempt to launch, and then drop the
user back to the desktop with the icon for the app showing in the taskbar. I have tried running the app troubleshooter but it gives the message "Microsoft account required". The problem here is we are using active directory accounts and
we don't want the users to have to create or login to use these default apps.
I know I can use DISM to remove those apps, and I know I can use DISM to install apps, but is there a way to do this with the default store apps? I believe that I would need the appx files to do this? Are those in the image somewhere?
I also tried running "dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" but this also was unable to correct the issue.

Hi,
Sometimes, after upgrading to Windows 8.1, the Store App may not start, or it might still show the number of available updates on the Live Tile
To fix this, run the following in a Command Window (CMD) to re-register the Store App:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
Details as the following reference:

HT1420 since upgrading to a domain the computers had to be re authorised for itunes, is there a way to deauthorise compters without waiting till the next deauthorise all? this also happens when upgrading from windows 8 to 8.1.

since upgrading to a domain network itunes has asked to be re authorised, this also happens when upgarding from windows 8 to 8.1. my next de-authorise all is In January, but i cant wait that long what can i do

If a computer's taking up multiple authorizations, try deauthorizing it even if it says it's not authorized. If that doesn't work, go back to the article you asked this question from and use the link to contact Apple under the 'To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID' section of it.

Keyboard Filter Compatibility Error When Upgrading to Windows 7

I recently upgraded to Windows 7. As soon as I did my printer stopped working. I was trying to fix it for about two weeks when the mouse and keyboard stopped working. I called hp tech multiple times over the past week. I recovered my system back to Vista and when I tried to do the upgrade the compatibility message appeared stating the keyboard filter may not work. The tech had my download the upgrade to the quick launch buttons and the BIOS system, yet the same message appeared anyways. This also appeared the first time I upgraded myself, in which when I went in manually to upgrade the keyboard it said everything was updated.
The tech informed me to go ahead with the upgrade and said a senior tech would call me a few hours later. The call never came, and when I called back I was told I would need to restore my computer back to vista again! and update the driver then upgrade back to 7. Needless to say I was upset, and I don't believe I need to do all that again. My keyboard is working fine now but I'm afraid it might stop working like it did last time.
Basically, I just need to know if I should listen to the techs, who got it wrong the first time, and redo the horribly long process, if I should update sometime now, or if I should just wait and see.
I have a dv-4 Pavilion Entertainment PC. Thanks.

I did upgrade the quick launch buttons online before I upgraded. I went to check and the most current one is already installed on my computer. But even with installing that the error message still came up.
My question is should this be something I should be concerned about in case the same problem happens again? Like I said, everything works fine now but the problems with the mouse and keyboard didn't happen until 2 weeks after I upgraded.
I just don't want to go ahead and reinstall all my programs and files now if I'm just going to have to restore my computer, upgrade again, and have to redo that process.

The errors you received are usually due to a driver issue.

Lost sound when end of movie reached

Hi All.
Have a slight dilemma here - Occasional - my apple TV will quit outputting any sound when I reach the end of a movie (either through fast forward / chapter scan forward / or normal play to end of movie).
I can tell there is no sound output because the receiver changes the display to tell me what channels are being passed to it - and the receiver says there are zero channels of sound. I also have the menu clicks turned on.
I've had the apple TV for about two months now - with the latest update installed. I am using composite video cables and optical audio to my Yamaha AV receiver (863) - then passing video only to the TV (Old 28" Sony Wega) via composite cables. The apple TV sits in a well ventilated position in my AV furniture (open to the air with no components above or below it).
This occurs for only some video - some video works fine. All video streaming has been encoded with HandBrake 0.9.3. All Video has the same audio / video settings, all video has chapters embedded.
I have made a change in my streaming recently - I moved itunes + all content to a Windows Home Server (HP EX-490) - this is the only change from my previous streaming (which never showed this problem).
Once the sound issue appears and the apple tv quits outputting sound to the receiver - no sound is available - however - I can continue to stream video / audio and everything appears to play fine - with the exception of no sound. To rectify the problem - I have to unplug the apple tv for 5-10 seconds - plug it back in - and sound output has returned (I haven't tried the Menu + Back trick yet to see if that works as well).
I'm leaning away from the change in servers being my issue since it still streams and just losses sound. Anyone else ever see anything like this? Could it be an Apple TV issue / heat issue / encode issue?

I think it's an audio conversion issue with certain streams.
If I run some HD captures from my CAnon camera through handbrake direct I lose several seconds of audio at the end, so I think it's a problem processing audio/video streams in some circumstances.

What do I do if my F-Secure security product is partially removed when upgrading to Windows 10?

QuestionWhat do I do if my F-Secure security product does not work after upgrading to Windows 10?
AnswerOnce you have completed your Windows 10 upgrade, you may experience the following with your F-Secure security product:
Your F-Secure security product does not start up.
On your computer, you can't find the F-Secure security product icon in the system tray at the bottom of the screen.
Your F-Secure security product does not show up in the list of installed apps and features in Settings > Systems > Apps & features.
If this happens, it means that the Windows 10 upgrade has unfortunately removed some of the F-Secure security software components, and the product fails to start up as it should.
To get your F-Secure security product working normally again, the F-Secure security product needs to be removed from your computer, and the product reinstalled. To do this:
Download and run the Uninstallation Tool for Windows. You can download the tool here. The instructions for the Uninstallation Tool for Windows are here.
Reinstall the F-Secure security product on your computer. You can download the product from the F-Secure website or from your My SAFE account, depending on your subscription.

Thanks but the tool only works if you have one working windows installation and it's designed for mult-boot systems. I don't have a multi-boot system and when the Windows 10 upgrade fails there is no active working Windows install to turn to. The partition gets corrupted and has a "RAW" status until you run chkdsk with gets it back to "NTFS" status but it won't boot.

Touchscreen stopped working when upgraded to Windows 8.1

I have an HP Pavilion Product EOK22UA#ABA and Model 14-1027cl (I think?) and when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, the touchscreen has stopped working. I've looked through the forums and I can't find someone with the same Product/Model as me and I'm trying to find a solution to this. I do not want to do the "Refresh your PC without affecting your files" because I have programs on my computer that I cannot get again because they were downloaded on education licenses (I am a college student) and I can only download once. Any suggestions on how I can get my touchscreen up and running again? Thanks.

Hello @s_jensen,

I understand that the touchscreen on your notebook computer has stopped working since upgrading to Windows 8.1, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Since your system may still have an older version of AMD graphics drivers installed on your computer, I recommend uninstalling the Windows 8 graphics drivers and installing the compatible ones for Windows 8.1. To do this, I recommend removing the drivers in Programs and Features and the Device Manager. Once the old software is removed, please restart your computer.
The drivers for your graphics card and touchscreen can be downloaded below:
AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and
