No Audio Issue HP Pavilion dv6...Please Help!

Good day, I have been experiencing several audio issues with my laptop. Firstly, my laptop stopped playing audio unless I disable then enabling the IDT HD audio CODEC. I then tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it only to find that the drivers i found weren't compatible. Then I tried the recovery manager and when I restart the notebook it encountered a problem and I lost audio and my Beats enhancement. Can someone please help me on what to do?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
IDT HD Audio Driver - Windows 7.
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
Chipset Driver - Windows 7.
When the Chipset reinstallation has completed, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

    hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
    The destination drive is not connected

    Hello Mohammadshamlou.  I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc.  It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected.  Is this correct?  How long have you had the notebook?
    What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
    The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive.  So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order.  Follow these steps and please post the result.

  • Audio distortion post Build DVD - Please help!

    Hi all .. I have edited a wedding video in Premiero Pro and exported my AVI files with Normalised Audio Levels. I imported the AVI files into Encore CS2 and have created my DVD menu. I have also imported high quality mp3 and wav files to use as menu soundtracks. When I preview the DVD, everything sounds fine however when the DVD is created and I playback on my home theatre, the musical soundtracks are distorted! I have tried building a new DVD with audio dolby digital at 256kbps but audio is still distorted.
    Please help!

    Disregard my last question Ruud, I've exported audio from Premiere, Normalised to -6db in good old Cool Edit 2000 and imported in Encore .. much better results. Thanks :)

  • Sound Playback Issue with IDT High Definition Audio Codec HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

    Since i bought this laptop, every time i use skype or the Windows Sound Recorder, i hear static that drastically increases in volume. Uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Codec prompts my computer to automatically install the driver again, this usually fixes the problem, but after restarting my laptop, the problem returns.
    Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?

  • Audio Mixer Issue... Please Help

    I posted this message a few days back and got it working but now it seems nothing I do works (see Below)
    When ever i try and "Write" an audio mix, after i'm done writing and switch to "Read" the track automaticly gets set back to zero like nothing happened. I have turned off "switch to touch after read" as always. Any clue what is happening here? I restarted the program and even change the audio files around but still no help. I set the track to show keyframes and I see nothing happening to the keyframes when writing... it's like the mixer is ignoring me

    Pengh,
    Going back, adjusting the View of the Track Keyframes helped. Obviously, something else is not working. Based on Dennis' comments, I wonder if Adobe has changed how the Audio Mixer works in CS4+. I only have PrPro 2.0, so I cannot even check, but I think that the playing field might have shifted in later versions. What version are you working in? I have a feeling that what I might tell you will be moot, and that someone else will need to chime-in, like Dennis.
    Good luck,

  • 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:

  • Having many issues... Please help!

    Issue number one. I was recently surfing the web, trying to find an off shore escrow company. When I clicked on a link and my computer started downloading "something". I immediately tried to stop the download, but now I'm getting spammed with a banner across the top of my Safari windows. It doesn't matter what site I go to, I keep getting the banner that states, "congratulations you've won, blah..." with audio! So annoying, because the computer voice keeps repeating it. "congratulations, congratulations". You get the idea.
    Issue number two. Whenever I try to get into my system preferences, my pin wheel spins forever! As well as, when I'm using Safari. My computer entirely has been sluggish lately.
    Issue number three. After the crazy download, I tried repairing my disk, but I keep getting this error. Now I know, there's been other threads on this issue, but I don't understand "their computer language". Here's the message I keep getting:
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on ext
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    Now I have the two disks that came with my computer, but I don't understand what I'm suppose to do with them? Other threads tell me to reboot using the start up disk. What does that mean, exactly? Please explain, step by step what I'm suppose to do.
    I'd also like to scan my entire computer (due to the mysterious download) for virus', etc. However, the apple threads only talk about virus via email, which doesn't apply to me. Please help me fix my t issues. Thanks for taking the time to read my frustrations. Your fellow mac user.

    If you are getting an error that cannot be repair when running Disk Utility's Repair (not Verify), you can either get a tool like Disk Warrior from Alsoft to fix it -OR- you can back up your data, reformat the drive, and restore your data.
    You can backup your data using a cloning program (such as Carbon Copy Cloner) to duplicate the entire drive to an external drive. If you do this, you can reformat and run the cloning process in the other direction to restore. Or you can just back up your user data, then after reformatting, reinstall the OS and apps "fresh" before restoring your data.

  • Hdmi video and audio for hp pavilion dv6 1050us does not work

    I'm trying to use my hp pavilion dv6 1050us notebook with a TV Philips model 40PFL8605D using a HDMI cable but nothing function: can't get the image displayed at computer on the TV display. The HDMI cable  and the same TV were tested using a ASUS notebook and everything worked all rigth: video and sound. Then I concluded that the only possible source of problem is my HP pavilion dv6 1050us notebook.
    Can I get some help?

    Hi (:
    I frequently play The Sims 3, I have all, but myabe 3, extensions. And I have a Pavilion dv6-6c15nr Entertainment PC. Now I was wondering, is this a bad idea?  Occassionally, my games will freeze and even just completely glitch within the game, sometimes unallowing me to save. It's very frustrating, especially when you get so far. My question is would it be better to just get a gaming pc and leave this one to surfing the web and doing school work? Or is this one good, and can I download or buy something to help my computer maintain or improve its performance? 

  • Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.

    I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
    First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
    Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
    Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
    At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
    One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
    again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciated

    hello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

  • Issue With Adding Layers - Please Help!

    I am having an issue where Photoshop is not allowing me to add any kind of new layer to images that I'm editing.  It won't allow it while it's a .NEF or after it's become a .PSD.  If I open an image that already contains layers and is saved as a .PSD, then it allows me to add layers no problem.  If I start a new blank document it will allow me to add layers.  It's just not allowing me to do it with files that have been imported within the last week.  It doesn't seem like a system resource issue since it allows me to add layers to older files.  If you have any thoughts on this please help!

    Well... sort of fixed it.  Apparently my system doesn't like editing images with a color depth of 16bit.  If I convert it down to 8 when I'm converting it from RAW, then it allows me to add layers... Is this normal?
    Thank you for your time,

  • Issue about jsp taglib,please help

    Hello all,
    I want to use jsp tag like following:
    <c:import url="xxx.jsp">
    <c:param name="xxxAction" value="<portlet:renderURL/>"/>
    </c:import>
    and the value of the c:param can not accept the value generated by the <portlet:renderURL/> tag.
    I can resolve the issue by writing java code in the jsp(like ...java code...<c:param name="xxxAction" value="%=...%"/> ),much java code occur in the jsp,I do not like this solution.
    anybody has good solution please help me.
    thanks and rgds.

    Ram is correct. You can't nest custom tags as attributes to other custom tags.
    In this case the <c:param> tag offers the option of specifying the value as the body of the tag though, so the following should work:
    <c:import url="xxx.jsp">
    <c:param name="xxxAction"><portlet:renderURL/></c:param>
    </c:import>
