New Altec Lansing speakers cause my IQ804 to freeze

I just got a set of Altec Lansing speakers (2 plus a woofer) that are meant to plug n play into the green jacks.  After a few seconds of playing in media player, they freeze the whole computer requiring a reboot.
any suggestions?

Hi,
According to Page 97 of your Maintenance & Service Guide, the part you need to order is 603694-001 from HP Parts Store.
I would always recommend checking with HP that this is the correct part when placing the order.

  • On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

    On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
    do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
    I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
    Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

  • HP Altec Lansing Speakers

    Hi,
    I have the HP DV6-3126sa with built in Altec Lansing speakers.
    The problem is when im listening to stuff say on YouTube, when it hits a certain pitch it starts to buzz/whistle.
    I have tried playing around with the Sound Control settings in Equaliser and turning it down a bit but it still does it.
    What I have noticed is when its whistling/buzzing, if I press down on the bottom left of the laptop where the speakers are it kills the problem, but I cant sit doing that all the time.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I have also found another 3 threads with this problem that has no answers... is this known to HP?

    Hello MeetDave,
    Take a look in your Maintenance and Service Guide Manual, which should list all replaceable parts, part numbers, etc.  When I check the "product specifications" page, it says, "SRS Premium Sound with Altec Lansing speakers." 
    If the parts can be replaced, you will find them at HP Partsurfer
    Good luck!

  • RFR remote controls Altec Lansing speakers

    I have a set of Altec Lansing speakers. A remote to control the volume settings came with the speakers. When I try to use my apple remote while my computer is hooked up to my speakers, the apple remote adjusts the volume of the speaker control. Is there a way that I can change the frequency of the apple remote so that it will not operate on the same frequency as my spakers?

    Try pairing the remote with your Mac:

  • Cq50-142us windows 7 64 bit headphones work but no sound from built in Altec-Lansing speakers

    I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my CQ50-142US after the hard disk died.  I've installed all the drivers that apply, and in particular the Conexant driver for the built-in audio parts.  The system has built-in Altec-Lansing speakers.
    I get no sound from the built in speakers, but if I plug in stereo headphones to the front-panel headphone jack, they work and they produce stereo sound no problem.
    I can't see any way to test the speakers.  If the system has any built-in diagnostic capability, I can't find it. 
    A Google search suggests I'm not the only person with similar problems.
    Suggestions?

    You can isolate this issue to a hardware or software fault by running a live distro of Ubuntu linix. See step number 2 to install it to a USB memory stick.
    If the device is not recognized by Ubuntu during its config operations that the probem is likely to be with the notebook's system board.
    Is your notebook still within the standard one year warranty period?

  • Is the new Firefox update the cause for my iBook freezing up?

    I have an iBook (the last model before they were discontinued) running OSX 10.4 and have noticed that it has been freezing up, forcing me to do a hard reset, ever since I downloaded the latest Firefox update.
    Sometimes it seems like the screen will go to sleep and won't wake up, also forcing a hard reset.
    I have done some preliminary googling but I don't think I am using the right terms to get meaningful answers.
    Is this a known issue? If so, can I uninstall the update? Or is it something else that I can fix? I have Applecare, but it might have expired by now.
    Haven't noticed the problem in Safari, although it's only been since last night that I switched browsers and I may just not have used it long enough for the issues to surface.

    Hi Liz!
    The Firefox update, and your issue, coming about in close proximity, may just be a coincidence.
    Exactly which model iBook G4 is it?
    What is the Processor speed?
    What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
    How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
    What peripherals do you have connected? A keyboard, mouse, printer, external drive or modem, router, etc?
    Have you made any additional changes, like upgrading the system, updated or installed any other applications or programs, etc?
    Have there been any unusual occurences, like freezes, crashes, power outages, etc?
    Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
    Depending on Mac system usage habits, it is a general recommendation, to keep 10% to as much as 20%, of the Total capacity, available at all times.
    Review the suggestions, in the documents that I have linked to below.
    Authored by Dr Smoke:
    Problems From Insufficient RAM And Free Hard Disk Space

    Is the iBook shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
    If you turn the Mac off nightly, the Background Maintenance Tasks, may not run on a timely basis.
    These can also be run, using a Third-Party utility, or manually using Terminal, to run the CRON Commands.
    I use MacJanitor, when necessary.
    INSTRUCTIONS TO RUN CRON MANUAL COMMANDS
    Quit all applications/programs.
    Navigate to HD > Applications > Utilities.
    Double click on Terminal, to open.
    At the prompt, type:
    sudo periodic daily
    Press Return.
    Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
    This will execute the daily script that is sheduled to run every night.
    When completed, repeat this procedure, but change the command to:
    sudo periodic weekly
    This one rebuilds a database or two, and usually takes somewhat longer to complete. It is scheduled to run once a week.
    Repeat again, with command:
    sudo periodic monthly
    Or they can all be run in one pass, which is preferable, with this command:
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    When the tasks complete, and return to the prompt, you may quit Terminal.
    Restart the Mac, and run Repair Permissions.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)

  • Altec Lansing imMini no longer works with Nano

    Hey,
    I have a the Altec Lansing imMini speakers - which I originally bought for my Mini. When I bought the Nano, the speakers worked perfectly - though the Nano was slightly off-center. Recently, it only works occasionally (after a few plug/unplugs). Now, it doesn't seem to work at all.
    The Nano still charges but no sound comes out (except the pathetic squeaking sound that the iPod makes when it first connects to the speakers).
    Anyone else experienced similar erratic problems with Altec Lansing speakers - or in fact, anything at all that connects to the dock-connector?

    Thanks dwb - it seems to have done the trick (for now, anyway!) Really appreciate your help.

  • 5.1 Surround Sound Altec Lansing with Macbook Pro

    I am sure this question has been asked many times before, but I couldn't find an answer. I have 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound Altec Lansing speakers that came with my Dell Desktop from several years ago, and I recently switched over to mac by purchasing a macbook pro. I would like to know what the best way, if any, would be to get the speakers working with my macbook.
    The 5 surround sound speakers plug into the back of the subwoofer, and the subwoofer has 3 cables (I'm guessing right/left/subwoofer) that connect to the back of the desktop. Are there any adapters that would allow me to use them with my macbook pro? Is there any way to just stream whatever sound I want to those speakers? Is it even possible? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Is there a way to identify which computer outputs support 5.1 sound?  It is a media center PC, but I can't find that information anywhere.

  • HT2494 Good afternoon, I have a set of 5 speakers + 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 cables - 1 black + 1 yellow + 1 green - to my new i-mac. What connection type do I need? And where I can connect it? BR Pascal

    Good afternoon,
    I have a set of 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 exit cables  - 1 black + 1 green + 1 yellow - to my new i-mac 22" - acquired last week - equipped with only 4 USB 3.0 + 2 Thunderbolt + 1 Ethernet + 1 jack for micro or speaker.
    What connector type do I need? And where can I connect ot?
    Many thanks in advance for your help
    Best regards
    Pascal Quennesson

    Sorry you cannot
    That speaker system is for sound cards on PC's which separate the channels, the Mac's don't seperate the channels or decode surround sound formats  and only pass the 5.1 through the dual analog/optical stereo mini port.
    You might find a external device that accepts Toslink optical inputs and then separates the channels and sends the appropriate signal to the powered speakers.

  • New Mac Mini but cannot hear my Altec Lansing Series 100 speakers-help please

    Have used my Altec Lansing for a couple of years on my PC and now that I converted to Apple and hte Mac Mini, they do not appear to work. I plugged them into the audio output at the back. Anyone know why the sound is NOT now coming through the speakers?

    Which Altec Lansing's do you have?
    Are you sure that they are plugged into the Audio Output (Headphone) jack and not the Audio Input jack?

  • 2 of 4 speakers and Subwoofer not working for Altec Lansing Lucasfilms THX Surround (circa 2003)

    I am attempting to connect my Altec Lansing Lucasfilm THX 5.1 sound system to my HP ENVY All-in-one. I think the original audio card for the sound system came on a Dell with Soundblaster. 
    I have connected the green audio to the jack in the back which only gets 2 of the 4 speakers working (even after configuring the speakers). The subwoofer is connected to the sub jack in the back panel as well and is not working at all. I realize that I am trying to have an ancient sound system work with my fancy new HP Envy. Am I asking too much??  I thought maybe a driver update might be needed. But in theory, if those jacks are available in the back it should work (she says optimistically).
    Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

    Not a problem.  Thank you for the additional information.
    It sounds like you have the speakers connected correctly.  If there is only one connector for all of the speakers, it may be that you will only be able to use two of them.  However, I am not certain why the subwoofer isn't working.  Is it selected in the Control Panel / Sound?  I realize that you said the speakers are configured in the Control Panel, but is the subwoofer separate?
    I have an old (2001) Polk Audio set of speakers.  I have only been able to get two of them and the subwoofer to work with my new HP computer.  It sounds fine without the other two speakers.

  • Do the Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Speakers work with 80GB iPod Classic???

    I have already bought these speakers and now I am worried that they might not work with my new iPod. On the website, it does not say that it is compatible with the new iPod classic, but its doesn't say that its not either. Just incase you don't know what speakers I'm talking about, its this one: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E2 856423&fnode=home/shopipod/ipodaccessories/speakers&nplm=TM019LL/A
    PLEASE HELP!!!

    I'm beginning to think that speakers should work with the Classic ipods because they don't need software to run??? You connect them to the ipod using a dock or a lead. I think the issue with the camera connector could be to do with the software that it uses to transfer photos from camera to ipod.
    I'm looking at speakers which'll either be the soundtraveller k3000 or the Altec Lansing Orbit. Both are within budget and have decent battery life although the latter doesn't appear to be able to run off mains but has longer battery life.
    What I might do is email the 2 companies and ask or even possibly phone them as both are UK based.

    I have some more clues/data...
    If I connect the XT1 USB Speakers to my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.8, everything works perfectly, reboot, power-up, everything.
    One difference I noticed, on the PowerBook, the XT1's blue power LED is lit a second or two before the gray apple appears on boot and stays solid blue from that point on.
    On the Mac Pro, the XT1's blue power LED is lit a second or two before the gray apple appears (like the PB) BUT shortly after the gray apple appears the blue LED flashes for less than a second.
    If the Mac Pro USB Audio driver mutes the XT1 the blue LED will go out. If the USB power flickers the blue LED will go out.
    More clues, more confused.

  • Speakers Altec Lansing VS-3151 Connecting to HP Pavilion a1130n

    I've successfully been using the Altec Lansing Speaker System VS-3151 that I purchased together with my HP Pavilion a650y in 2004. When we recently replaced our desktop, my daughter wanted to inherit the speaker system to use with her HP Pavilion a1130n that was purchased in 2005.  However, we can't determine how to connect those speakers to her desktop. Perhaps there is some kind of converter that we need?

    Ok so how did you do it?
