My HP laptop sound

I have a HP Pavillion g series, and while I was watchign a ideo the sound automatically shut off. I thought I had hit mute by accident, but nothing seems to be working. There is an x over my icon http://i50.tinypic.com/igx1zl.jpg
A friend had told me that it looks as though something is using my HDMI. I don't understand what I could do. Can anyone help?

How are you outputting the video and audio? If you click the start button, right click on Computer and then on the top left you will find the device manager on the left check it and see if it reports any hardware problems. Under sound and audio devices , you might want to right click then , select disable and then enable. If you are still having problems, use the device manager to uninstall the audio device. If the dialog box says also delete device driver software, check the box, and then go into your HP Recovery Manager and reinstal the drivers for the audio device.

How can collect the data from laptop sound card and serial port at the same time?

I'm working on a project, I need to collect the data from laptop sound card, and also from serial port at the same time.
The attachments are my VIs for sound card and serial port communication, I'm wondering that can I combine these two VIs together? Or can I run these two VI at the same time?
Thank you!

A smarter way is just to put all your code in the same VI.
Two parallel loops if rates are different.

Streaming to AE f/ laptop, sound quality...

is bad compared to my desktop. I didn't think about it, but it made sense. The desktop has an Audigy 2 sound card and the laptop only onboard sound. I'm wondering if I can expect a big jump in sound quality if I use a laptop sound card like the Audigy 2 ZS? Anyone try it? Will the laptap stream to my AE through this card? Of course I guess I'll need a usb wireless adapter, my current one is a slot type.

Are you sure? If a computer doesn't use it's sound card to stream music to the AE, then how does it do it? If a computer did not have a sound card or onboard sound, it could still transmit music to the AE? Now I'm a bit confused.

My Macbook air laptop sound, fan and speed is messed up, how do I fix it?

Where do I start. One random day I came home to find out that my sound has been muted. I tried to fix it with headphones, reseting the PRAM, google, and even by asking my schools computer tech. Some times the mute button would disappear and the sound bar would be in color but their would still be no sound. After the computer tech went on his account on the laptop to un-mute it, which he couldnt, he told me that my built in speakers dont work and would need to be replaced next year. Im like okay no problem, that same day i closed my laptop and found that the light was still on, I asked a friend and he said the black bar between the keypad and screen is what activates the laptop to shut off, which means its broken, so in between class periods i either shut down my laptop or put it to sleep. The next day my laptop starts to run slow and as soon as i power it on the fan runs immediately but the laptop isnt hot. My mouse moves at normal speed but my applications are running slow. This all happened in one week which is this week. My battery dies at a normal pace though.
More information
This is a school given macbook air for a magnet program called iPrep, so i cant download anything with our administration password
This is my second laptop out of the 3 years ive been in the program. My first laptop started to break after the sound got muted and my laptop ended up with an X on the battery and would only turn on when a charger is plug but would go super slow. This makes me scared cause i dont want that happening at all to this one.
Problems
Sound is muted, it sometimes un-mutes but there is still no sound, internal speakers broken
When closed the screen display is still open
Computer applications go slow, fan turns on immediately
Any help, this is bothering me so much

Hi Jollified,
Does your sound work when you try to use head/earphones? If so, try the following:
Plug your Headphones into your Mac.
Play a sound through them (a song for example), then stop the sound.
Make sure 'Preferences' is isn't open. If it is, Quit.
Launch System Preferences > Sounds.
While the Sounds tab is open and set to 'Headphones', pull out the Headphones from the jack.
You should see your Mac reset to 'Internal Speakers'
Also, I see you have tried resetting the PRAM, have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)? Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
As for your MacBook not sleeping when you close the lid, there are many reasons this can occur.
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following:
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

My Laptop sound works fine with other browsers, but same audio played in Firefox browser is VERY low. Is there a fix for this?

I run Windows 7 on a Dell Laptop with i5 processor - SRS premium sound that works well except when using Firefox browser. Example of problem - listening to CNN news on TunedIn online Radio - volume cranked all the way up provides about 20% of the audio volume when listening to the same on Google Chrome.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

32DT1U HDTV: HDMI to Laptop, Sound to External Speakers?

Hello,
I have a 32DT1U Toshiba HDTV and I am trying to connect my laptop to the TV via an HDMI cable but I want the sound to go to external speakers. Is there any way of doing this? When I have the HDMI cable connected from the laptop to the TV and a Y-cable (red/white audio rca) connected from the laptop audio jack to the external speakers the audio still comes from the TV. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!

Nevermind I found out how to do it. All I had to do was right click the volume icon in the taskbar, select Playback Devices, then set the headphone or line out to Default.

Fix for Envy TouchSmart 15-j078ca (or any other laptop) sound not working

If you are having problems with the sound on your Envy 15 laptop (speaker/headphone jack not working), there is a straightforward way to fix your problems.
First go through these simple steps (they could very well save you some time if they work):
1) Update your drivers! Seriously, this is one of the top fixes for problems on PCs. If you haven't updated your drivers, search for "Check for Updates" and click that result (you can search using the Charm; the result will be under settings). If you have, read on.
2) Check to see if your audio device is enabled. On your desktop, right-click the Speakers icon and go to Playback devices. Set audio devices to default (like headsets and speakers) on by rightclicking them and selecting "Set as default". This way, they will work when plugged in, and when taken out, the system will default to other available sound sources.
If your chosen device is not present, right click in the open space and check "Show Disabled Devices". Now, you can rightclick a device and Enable it, then going through the same process as above to set them as default.
3) If your devices are enabled and plugged in, try the Windows Troubleshooter. Press the Windows key to bring up the Windows 8 interface (or the Start Menu in Win7) and type "Troubleshooting". Select it from the Settings section on the right side, then go to "Troubleshoot audio playback" under Hardware and Sound. Run the troubleshooter
If none of these methods work, follow the instructions in this excellent post, but use the changes below:
1) Use the audio driver specifically for this laptop model (or the driver that works for your model. Enter your product name under Drivers and Downloads on this page if you are American, or this page if you are Canadian. The driver will be under Audio).
2) Remove both the AC adapter and the battery before performing the hard reset, then hold down only the power button for 15 seconds (or follow the instructions here if the battery is fixed in place).
3) Press Escape repeatedly on boot-up until you get the option to use the BIOS menu.
Hopefully this helps, I know it helped me! Remember to give Kudos to the post linked if it helped you.

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!

Laptop sound problem

Hello, I have HP ENVY 14t-1100 CTO Beats Edition, unfortunately I connected speakers to the laptop and suddenly the laptop started giving weird sound, so i restarted the pc, then I came to know that the speakers are no more working Even I checked with headphones no use..with headphones i can hear some noise..do I have solution? Currently I am in Munich, Germany, can I get some technical support? Thanks for your reply!

Hello mahii,
I'm sorry you are having trouble with the sound on your notebook. Take a look at this document, which provides steps to take when having sound problems with external speakers and headsets. If the first document doesn't help resolve your issue, take a look at this document, which may have a couple more things you can try. Hopefully, you won't even need the 2nd document.
I was listening to one of my favorite bands when I pulled up your posts - SAGA. Even though they are from Canada, they are very popular in Germany! The specific show I was listening to, was performed in Westfalenhalle Dortmund.
Please let me know how it goes with the troubleshooting steps.
Good luck!

Laptop Sound distorted after updating to Windiws 10

I have a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop which I have been using for some time now. I recently updated to Windows 10. Since then, my laptop's speakers do not seem to be working propery. There is a distortion in the sound and there seems to be a double echo when listening to sounds, especially when I am using headphones. The audio devide is IDT High Definition AUdio Codec. The device manager says that the device is workinh properly. However, the problem seems to be continuing. Is the problem due to the new WIndows system or do I need to update any drivers?

Hp hdx16 laptop - sound disappears

Hi- I have an hp hdx16 laptop. When I boot up, the sound works perfect, but over time, it just cuts out! Nothing appears to be wrong with the speakers or the volume control (although like other owners, I do notice the orange mute light on sometimes when the speakers are obviously not muted), but I still have no sound. I do notice that if I reboot, sound returns, but sometimes I have to shut down at the most annoying times and I can never predict when the sound will cut out. What could the problem be? Help!

Hi,
Try the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update, select 'View update history' in the left hand pane and then select 'Installed updates' link in the following window.
Locate update KB2962407, right click it and select Uninstall. When done, restart the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Windows Update and select 'Check for updates'. You'll see the update you just uninstalled being offered again - right click and select 'Hide Update'.
After this you may or may not need to delete and reload the Audio driver - if you do, the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.

Sound over HDMI works, but laptop sound isn't working after...

Hey,
First, sound over HDMI was not working on my laptop, but when I followed this section of Alsa Wiki it worked.
So I created the ~/.asoundrc file containing:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
But now, when I unplug my HDMI cable, and want to listen to music using my laptop built-in speakers/jack speakers, it doesn't work anymore, even if I restart Alsa.
In fact, I need to delete the .asoundrc file AND restart Alsa in order to get it work.
Is there a way to make both sound over HDMI, and built-in speakers works automatically depending on if my laptop is/is not connected to my TV ?
Thanks

You need to restore the card and/or device number to those for your laptop speakers, as determined by:
aplay -l
To do this automatically, you will need to use scripts called by udev, as described a little further down.
