Miix 10 updating drivers problem

I have had a Lenovo Ideapad Miix 10 for about a month and am very pleased with its usability.
I upgraded to Windows 8.1 about 3 weeks ago I but did not update any driver. The Miix still worked very well.
Today, I went to the Lenovo driver update page and began to update Windows 8.1 drivers one at a time, rebooting between each one. I firstly updated the Bios - no problem. Rebooted, and all OK..
Next, going down the driver list I attempted to update the Bluetooth driver, but during the updating process, the speaker activated with an extremely loud ear-splitting high pitch tone which we could not turn off. After completion of the Bluetooth update the sound stopped. I again rebooted, and everything seemed OK.
Going down the list I updated the Chipset driver, the Display and Video Graphics driver, the network drivers, etc. During these updates the speaker again spasmodically went into spasm with this extremely loud tone, at a different pitch each time. We thought there must be a driver conflict.
After this series of updates, I attempted to play music but discovered there was an issue. No sound from the speakers, except occasionally, a low volume scratchy sound.
Next, thinking that there must be a driver clash somewhere, I wanted to update the Audio drivers, but there were none on this list. Searching the Lenovo site I discovered appropriate drivers (Intel SST Audio Device (WDM) With Realtek 12S Audio Codec) for a Thinkpad model which I downloaded and used.
I checked out audio devices and found that the Mixer was responding to the audio file playing. I then went on to test the earphone audio output and was surprised but pleased to discover that the audio was OK through that port. But this still leaves me without any speakers.
Can anyone shed any light on this situation. The only conclusion that I can come to is that somehow, inexplicably--and in all the many years of my IT experience it is not a situation I have ever come across--that action of updating drivers has blown the speakers. Unless there is another rational explanation....
... which I would love to hear!
Yours faithfully, expectantly, hopefully....

Hi, I have been experiencing problems after upgrade to Windows 8.1 that seem to be caused by device drivers. In my Miix 10, wifi connection is very unstable and finally WLAN adapter stops working unless the Windoes is restarted or its device driver is reinstalled by Device Manager. I am not sure who is responsible for this problem, Microsoft, Lenovo, or Broadcom, but wish to be solved very soon.

How do I update drivers and BIOS on Satellite P300?

I've been having problems with my wifi, and as my partners laptop is working fine, it was suggested that I might need to update drivers and/or BIOS.
I've tried to do this but where do you download the BIOS/driver updates to?
It just defaults into 'my documents', sits there and does nothing?
After downloading, How do I ensure my notepad 'takes' the updates?
As you can see, I'm not overly technical so any advice in simpletons terms please...
Thanks.

Hello
All drivers and tools for your notebook can be downloaded here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
At first I would try a WLAN driver update. If you have downloaded the WLAN driver, unzip all files and start the setup.exe file. This will automatically install the new driver and will be used now.

Boot Camp 2.1.drivers updated.no-auto.kbd.Mgr.app.exe

My problems have not been quite that severe, but my recent experience with Boot Camp 2.1 and SP3 has been pretty bad. First, my colors do not seem to be displaying properly, mostly with blues turning into red (i.e., links in Firefox). Then last night I got three blue screens while using MS office in XP(which also has color problems).
Remarkably, I do NOT have any of these problems in fusion, running off the same partition....
I read another thread which suggested upgrading the graphics drivers in XP, which I am going to try, but if you uninstall boot camp 2.1, won't you have problems with SP3? Aren't you supposed to install 2.1 before you do the SP3 upgrade?

Updating Drivers

Hello,
I have a macbook air with windows 7 installed on boot camp. Recently, i have been having trouble connecting to some WIFI networks. Since i already had similar problems with a macbook, i think it is hardware related.
I would like however to update the drivers to make sure this not some software glitch. I was wondering how exactly to get these new drivers.
Thank you,
Rushd Khalaf

Thinkvantage systemupdate will update drivers too. No manual driver download needed it update works for you.

Most updated drivers

Hi guys,
Some time I found a thread where, among other things, someone made a summary of the most updated drivers and the wifi one, for example, was way more reliable, etc. I would swear that thread was on this forum, but I don't seem to be able to find it. They also mentioned drivers from lenovo, etc.
Could you please point me where that post is?
Also, is anyone experiencing problems when using wifi, keyboard and mouse (both bluetooth) at the same time? Some times my keyboard goes crazy and stops typing and after a couple of seconds it types all the keys I pressed. Sometimes it goes even crazier and fot "stop" I woulkd get a "stttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttop" or similar.
Thanks!

Hi UnoDosTres, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that you are looking for a link to a page you once found with miscellaneous drivers. Also you are getting a keyboard delay when typing.
I have no idea where this link you are looking would be, but I can possibly provide a link to your products driver page. To obtain this information, and keyboard troubleshooting steps, I need more information about your system.
What is the model or product number? What version of Windows is installed?

Need updated drivers for OJ Pro 8600 Plus Win 8.1 64 bit

My 8600 constantly loses it's connection to network and needs to be shut off and restarted to correct. I noticed my drivers are out of date, but when I try to download updated drivers, I am prompted for a password. My Forum password doesn't work, or the one I wrote down on origuibnal installation.

Hi,
Please download directly the following files (dated Aug-17-2014) and install to your computer, much faster this way and no need to enter password:

Satellite L350D-213 - Updating drivers on Windows 7

Bought Satellite L350D-213 mid Nov. Pre-loaded with Winodws 7. System auto detect on Tosh site shows that whole batch of new Windows7 drivers issued on 3/12/09. Was wondering whether I need to install all these drivers.
Up to now only prob has been webcam "locked by another application" which hours of web searching showed to be very common prob. Downloaded latest webcam driver issued on 3rd Dec. Cam ok at moment but only time will tell. Is it advisable to go through the whole list of applicable drivers or leave things as they are. Don't want to cause uneccessary probs.
Any advice welcome.

Hello
Its nice to read that your webcam works properly now and this would be also my suggestion to update the driver regarding this issue.
However, if your computer runs properly now I dont see any reason to update any drivers. Why you should do this?
I think drivers are only released to solve problems on other notebooks or compatibility issues so if you dont have problems you must update nothing. I can recommend never change a running system! ;)
So have fun with your notebook dont bother about updating drivers.

Satellite P300 and XP - some drivers problems

Hi there,
My notebook: Toshiba Satellite P300 PSPC4E!
I switched from Windows Vista (preinstalled) to Windows XP Pro SERVICE PACK 2, but I got a few drivers problems:
1. USB-ROOT-DRIVERS cannot be installed.
Yep this doesn't work. Can't use any USB-Stick and stuff. I installed all drivers from the download page for my Notebook and Win XP for sure.
2. Mass Storage Drivers cant be installed:
Errormassage:
"This Computer doesn't have the Requirements to install this Software (translated)"
3. No WLAN Drivers from the Driver page work :(
Thanks for now. Would be nice to get some help.
Cheers

> Installed Win XP without SATA drivers, but changed the SATA value in the BIOS to compatibility! Can I update the SATA drivers now? (xp is installed)
No you cannot install the SATA drivers now because the HDD doesnt run in SATA mode. You changed it in BIOS to compatibility!
And now; if you would change the mode to SATA then you will get a BSOD and you will have to install XP again. So if SATA is set to compatibility mode -> you dont need to install the SATA drivers
> There is no WLan hardware found. Nothing :/
Check this Toshiba WLan page;

Maybe one of the available WLan drivers will help you

Updated Drivers / Proper OpenGL Support for T400/T500 Models with Switchable Graphics

Dear Lenovo, Dear interested users,
when will an updated switchable graphics driver for Windows Vista (and also Win7, they are both quite outdated) finally be available? The drivers are completely outdated!
With the current driver for Windows Vista (Version 8.563.2.1-090401a-079160C) only a fraction of OpenGL extensions are supported:
The internal Intel GMA 4500MHD can only Handle OpenGL 1.1 (instead of OpenGL 2.1 it is certified for). Therefore most applications needing OpenGL won't run.
The dedicated ATI Radeon 3470 only supports OpenGL 2.1 (instead of OpenGL 3.1 it is certified for).
You can verify this behavior with the utility "OpenGL Extensions Viewer".
I hope Lenovo didn't close the chapter switchable graphics for T400/T500 systems. It would be a shame for a company claiming to be a leader in business computing to deliver such poor driver-support.
In hopeful expectance of updated drivers,
Patrick

I'm having the same problems. Is anyone reading this?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Open the Start Menu, click on All Programs and Accessories, right click on Command Prompt, and click on Run as administrator.
Type sfc/scannow
It may take a while while it tries to correct corrupt system files.
Download the driver from this site and try to install:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-102440-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If no go try this driver:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22166
If still no go, you will have to perform a Factory Restore, back up your data before proceeding.
Repeatedly tap the F11 key at boot to enter the recovery manager or use recovery disks hopefully you created when you got the computer.

Updating Drivers for video card?

I have a G5 Quad with an Nvidia Geforce 7800 GT video card (installed by Apple at the time of purchase). I wanted to see if there were any new/updated drivers for my card, but when I go to Nvidia's website the card is not listed, nor are any Mac drivers that I can see. I checked Apple's site, CNET Downloads, and Google, but I'm coming up with nothing.
How are the drivers for video cards updated? Are the drivers included in various OS updates? Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks.

Thanks, maclover. And thanks for the warm welcome
My problem is specific to a piece of software... I'm using Lightwave, and recently added FPrime to Lightwave's functionality. FPrime is a third party plugin, and is widely used in the Lightwave community.
The problem is that if I open FPrime before OpenGL renders the objects in a scene on screen FPrime crashes (hard)... it's like a kernel panic and my only option is to shut down and reboot. However, if I let OpenGL render the objects first then FPrime opens fine.
I'm an active member of the Lightwave community, and I've been in contact with the maker of FPrime regarding this issue. My question about drivers stems from the fact that usually if something like this occurs then it may be related to the need to update card drivers.
Thanks agian.

PocketMac with Updated drivers?

Hi,
I'm having terrible problems with the new BB Desktop Software for Mac. Apart from duplicating Calendar entries, it sometimes want's to wipe the entire calendar even with settings on BB to keep data entries Forever.
I want to go back to PocketMac with Updated USB drivers as we have Curve 8900 but I can't find it anywhere. That software synced directly with Entourage and haven't had problems like current Desktop Software.
Is there anywhere I could still download the latest PockeMac version with updated drivers for newer BB models?
Thanks,
your desperate customer

Hello,
is there really no way of downloading the software with the drivers?
I'm after latest PocketMac and updated drivers for new BB models.
Can someone please help?

Petition to Epson for updated drivers?

Folks,
What do you all think about starting an online petition to get Epson to reconsider producing FULLY Leopard compatible updated drivers for the 2200, 4000, 7600, 9600 and 10600 Series?
How many of you are affected by the driver issues?
-J

Uh, no. . .the people who YOU talked to DON'T know what they are talking about (or are giving the limited tech support party line)...which is why Epson has released beta versions of the current shipping pro printers with a version 6.x number that _DO_ work as expected in Lightroom under Leopard. The 3.x level drivers are _NOT_ fully Leopard compatible. They ONLY work in a limited manner when Printer Color Management is selected and in the case of No Color Management they are broken.
Epson tried very hard to work with Apple to deal with the Leopard situation...the official Apple line on the Epson 3.09 driver for the 4000 under Leopard is that the printer will print. And it does...but only when you select Printer Managed Color and use the Epson color controls...for FULL Leopard compatibility, the Epson drivers DO need to be updated to the 6.x series drivers.
As for the 16 bit stuff. Well, that will be something useful, in the future, when there _ARE_ any applications that SUPPORT a 16 bit print pipeline. So far, there aren't any...all apps including; Photoshop, Lightroom Aperture, Preview are capable of ONLY outputting 8 bit data in the print pipeline. The first application that might support a full 16 bit pipeline will prolly be the next major version of Lightroom. Hopefully new versions of the other apps will also support 16 bit in the future.
Tom Hogarty, the Lightroom product manager will be posting a statement on the Leopard printing issues on the
Lightroom Journal in the near future...
Believe me, EVERYBODY would like this problem solved...but the Leopard print pipeline changed so much that older print drivers simply can't print reliably in fully featured, full compatibility using the older print drivers. Which is why Epson _IS_ reving the drivers for the current shipping printers.

How to update drivers for Lenovo IdeaCentre C560?

Hi all,
I have PC Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 with Windows 8.1.
There is installed LSC (Lenovo Solution Centre), which has "System" section and inside it is "Lenovo software update" block, where LSC advices me "Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC".
But there are thess problems:
There are 20 drivers for C560 for Windows 8.1 on Lenovo website.
Which of them I have to download and install?
I have tried at my Device Manager to verify for all of my devices to be last update (it was terrible work) and I always got information that my driver is up-to-date.
Somebody have told me that LSC is not SUITABLE for C560 machine.
So I have these questions:
Does anybody have installed LSC on his C560? A does it work fine (so it find and install always new driver) or he only get abstract ionformation Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC?
Are there other possibilities to regularly update drivers then LSC?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dragnote,
maybe it was caused my terrible English, so I will try to explain relevant aspects once again:
1) I bought my Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 (part number: 57322363) on 22th of May this year from "stone" shop, not through internet. The Web site of this shop is www.mironet.cz, but there is not my PC there in actual supply, because the shop stopped to sell this model. But the parameters etc of this model is on Mironet's Web site here:
http://www.mironet.cz/lenovo-ideacentre-c560-23quot-fhd-intel-core-i54570t-36ghz-8gb-1tb-dvdrw-nvidi...
but is is in Czech language.
2) My Windows are in Czech language, so I will translate it for you into English and therefore some informations/messages can be not fully exact. OK?
2) The LSC program was installed on my new PC with MS Windows 8.1 64-bit. I was only wanted to USE it! And why not. I got with PC only very slim User's Book, where was nothing much usable. And nothing about updating system and drivers, nothing about backuping etc. So I started to use SLC, because it was preinstalled there.
3) Problems of detect WHICH driver I have to update and HOW to do it:
3a) I tried three programs for detecting of my not-to-updated drivers: SLC, Detective and Smart Driver Update with these results: SLC only advice me to go to Lenovo website, Detective and Smart Driver Update gave me list of my not-to-update drivers, but the lists were rather different.
3a) The link I provided, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/ideaCentre/message-id/9220, lists 20 drivers and all of them were released in period between 16 Oct 2013 and 01 Dec 2013, so I have used abbreviation "end of last year", but you are right - mostly of them are from 16 Oct 2013.
3b) I TRIED to compare their date of released with drivers installed on my PC, but I have two basic problems:
3b.1) How to identify WHICH driver on my PC corresponds to drivers on Lenovo web site?
The names are NOT the same. For example: on Lenovo Web site is "Realtek Audio Driver V6695 for Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop", released 17 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.6695. Then I found on my Device manager "Realtek High Definition Audio". So my question already is: "Is it the corresponding driver or not?". But let us say: it is.
So, now we can continue with next information on my driver : date of release is 15 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.7093. So I am not sure if these two drivers (one on Lenovo Web site, second on my PC) are the correct PAIR. There is antagonism between date of release and the version number.
3b.2) How to update, when I already "decided", that my driver is not-to-updated and therefore I need it to update?
I launch my Device manager, then I choice some driver, then I click on "to update driver software" and there display two possibilities: find driver on computer, or find driver on Internet. So I click on "Find driver on Internet". Then I wait about 10 seconds and then I ALWAYS get the SAME information: "The driver of this device is up-to-date"
This "optimistic" message I received for about 30 of my drivers. So there are three possible explanations how to explain it:
1) LSC, Detective and Smart Driver Update lie to me, when they tell me "You have some not-to-update drivers", because in reality all of my drivers ARE up-to-date.
2) I really have some not-to-update driver but because I cannot address correct WHICH driver is not to-up-date, I try wrong driver to update. Wrong, because it IS up-to-date.
3) I identify the correct not up-to-date driver but the choise "find driver on Internet" open finding of this procedure in non-Lenovo Web sites.
And maybe you are right when you write: "Sometimes, on a new system, Lenovo installs drivers that are "newer" than the drivers listed on their site. Don't worry, keep the newer drivers."
I apologize very much,but I am not able directly to use the information from you.
I never updated drivers on my old PC (I had it 12 years!), so I have no experiences what happens when I replace my NEW (up-to-date) driver with some OLD driver installed from Lenovo Web site. I am affraid that my keyboard, mouse, screen etc will stop its function.
When I bought this Lenovo machine, I to myself have told that I will keep my drivers up-to-date, but I do not how.

Updating Drivers for Audigy 2

Hi,
I have a Audigy 2ZS Sound card and I havn't updated the drivers/software in well over a year. I know there are a couple of ways of updating such as using the creative Autoupdate feature or just downloading the drivers exe package. I guess my question which is the preferred method of updating drivers and do I need to uninstall any previous drivers or software?
Another Question I do have, is it always best to upgrade the creative sound card drivers due to fixs, or as I'm not having any real problems is it best to leave the drivers alone?
Thanks,
Matt

sni'ves,
Thanks you for your reply.
I have just downloaded the latest driver install package, ran the exe and it uninstalled my previous drivers and install the latest ones.
Once I did that I used the Auto Update Acti'veX program and installed all Essential, Critical and some of the Recommend updates which seems to have improved and even fixed some problems I was having. The downloads seemed to go OK, and removed any old software.
By the way is there a way to remove the MediasourceGo from start-up, apart from using msconfig?
Thanks again,
