No Audio on Windows 8.1 with SB X-FI

I purchased an HP Pavilion Tower model d4790y in 2007. I was running Windows Vista (32 bit) and I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 (64 bit). Everything else works fine except the audio. The original audio was a multimedia board from Sound Blaster installed by HP.
The Sound Blaster was installed as part of the original purchase and has the HP model RX852AV. The original description says it is a Sound Blaster Audigy X-FI 24 bit XTREMEFID.
The multimedia control properties is listed in the device manager as;
Device PCI\VEN_1102&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_00331102&REV_00\4&153 5f642&0&20F0.
A driver was not installed as part of the Win 8.1 upgrade. I worked through the forums and had some response from HP but the drivers suggested did not work.
Can you tell me if Creative has a driver that supports this model SB on Windows 8.1? As of now, I have absolutely no sound.

You can try to uninstall all drivers that you have previously used. Then, reboot your system. Run Windows Update and see what it finds. This is an OEM sound card, so you have to be pretty specific as to what driver you use. More than likely it was a customized driver and rom on that sound card, so Daniel K.'s driver pack would probably do the trick for you. Creative's drivers are what HP uses for its custom software, but the stock Creative may not work with the card because of HP's changes to the card's firmware.

No audio in Windows 7 64bit with Audigy 4 Pro and Inspire 7.1 speakers

Hi, this is my first post in this forum. This issue is killing me?
Configuration:
Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
DDR3 600Mhz PC2800 6GB Corsair XMS3 Classic CL9 Skt366
Samsung TB HD03SJ 7200rpm 32MB Spinpoint F3
Mobo ASUS 366 P6T SE
New Windows 7 installation, no upgrade, so everything?s new. Realtek HD integrated audio chipset works fine, so the speakers are ok. Obviously I want my 2005 Audigy 4 back, especially for its external box.
I can't get any audio out of my speakers, zero, nothing, nada. Windows 7 recognizes it and if I run the control panel?s tests the equalizer shows that music is playing but still I won?t ear a single note.
I tried everything:
-I checked Windows mixer, the output was correct and no ?mute? was selected, no SPDIF, no optical etc etc
-I deactivated the Realtek
-I tried to put the Audigy in different PCI slots?
-I tried the latest Creative drivers?
-I tried unofficial drivers?
What should I do now?
Maybe I could try:
-Updating the mobo bios. I don?t really want to do it unless it'ss absolutely necessary. My mobo is quite new anyway and from its bios updates I can't see nothing related to pci slots or audio issues.
-Playing around with the drivers: maybe I?m wrong, but I?suspect that, while installing creative drivers, every time I restart the system Windows 7 re-check the audio card and puts its Creative Audigy WDM? driver. I?m not too sure about this: from Windows device manager it seems that the drivers are updated and running.
Any ideas?

JProblem solved.
Apparently there was a clash between Windows 7 driver (?) and the one from Creative.
I had to use a specific software in order?to delete creative drivers and software.
After the erase of every piece of junk I could install creative official drivers.
Audio playback is fine, still I have s?to test recording...

I have created a PDF with mp3 audio clips, the file works on PC's with audio playback (WIndows 7, 8 ) however the audio does not play when hosted on a website or an ipad/tablet computer or smart phone when used with PDF reader

Windows Media Player not selecting custom audio renderer filter on Windows 7 (works with graphedit)

Hi there,
I have custom directshow audio renderer filter derived from CBaseRenderer base class and implements IBasicAudio interface.
Filter works fine with graphedit and media player classic, I am able to receive audio data. But when I try to play file using Windows Media Player, filter gets callback in completeconnect followed by breakconnect and then its discarded.
Things I have tried so far --
Implement IBasicAudio interface, still fails with WMP
Modify audio renderer filter to connect with video decoder, it works fine with WMP and I can get dump of raw video data
Implement IReferenceClock interface, still fails with WMP
Implement this filter using CBaseFilter as base class, still same outcome, CompleteConnect on receive pin followed by BreakConnect and filter is discarded
It seems that Windows Media Player is looking for some specific interface that I might have not implemented or is picky for audio renderer. I found similar issue at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/windowsdesktop/en-us/6e5985fb-3ca2-41b3-9a99-7a9b97ae7357/directshow-filter-stopped-working-in-windows-7-media-player.
But it seems unresolved.
Please help, am stuck on this issue for 3 days without any luck. Any clues on this is appreciated.
Thank you.
-- Shobhit

Thanks for the reply Roman.
Most of QuerryInterface calls received in NonDelegatingQuerryInterface callback inside filter are same as that for greaphedit.
From http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mediasdkstuff/archive/2008/09/19/custom-directshow-audio-renderer-hangs-playback-in-windows-media-player-11.aspx, it seems that WMP on Windows 7 uses preferred list of filters using IAMPluginControl that cannot be modified
by 3rd party.
There has to be some workaround for this that am trying to figure out. Any clues on this?
Thanks,

Bluetooth can't detect my audio system on my T440s with Windows 8.1

Hi
I recently bought a T440s and I've tried since to connect it to my audio system (Sony CMT-SBT100) with Bluetooth, but it wouldn't detect it. I tried the latest drivers from Lenovo with System Update, I tried to install it manually (like explained on this thread: Bluetooth issues with Win8.1), I also tried to install the newest drivers from the Intel website but it doesn't seem to work with my card.
I can connect my phone to my laptop with Bluetooth, so it doesn't seem to come from the computer, and my phone connects perfectly with the sound system, so the issue doesn't come from there either. I searched on other forums and some people seem to say that the problem lies with Windows 8.1 which doesn't support A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) anymore, but I couldn't find it anywhere, and nobody seem to have found a solution yet.
Has anyone had this issue? Does anyone know if there is a fix?
Thank you.

Losing keystrokes in windows 8.1 with browser open

I'm having a couple weird problems with loss of keystrokes in windows 8.1. Not sure if it's a driver or malware issue.
Right after I installed windows 8.1 I noticed that if a browser window is open, i lose keystrokes in any application.
This happens with both Chrome and I.E.
And the keystrokes that are lost can be in any random edit control, notepad, typing keys into google search, photoshop
etc.
And in fact, it's particularly annoying in photoshop because many of photoshop's tools and menus are invoked using alt | shift | ctrl sequences. What often happens is that I use a modifier key such as alt and the keystroke interruption occurs and windows never
notices that I've taken my finger off the alt key so after that, every keystroke is interpreted as an alt-key sequence until I notice it and re-toggle the alt key.
Note, this only happens when a browser window is open and even though it made no sense, I swapped keyboards, lol. Problem still occurs.
I tried uninstalling crashplan and AVG (currently using windows defender).
I have disabled google-now and all notifications from facebook, etc.
The reason I know the keystroke loss is from facebook or email messages is that when I had the original problem, it was always accompanied by the audio "Ding" that windows 8.1 gives you when a message comes in. I since disabled audio for windows events
but it's not actually the audio causing the problem.
I was not having this problem prior to installing windows 8.1.
The computer is an i7-3820 with 32gb memory, 256gb ssd, 2tb secondary drive running 64 bit.
I have run full scans with AVG, Defender and Malware bytes.
I'm going to try runing a root kit scanner today. What would you recommend my next steps?
I'm considering just formatting the whole thing and going back to windows 7 pro...
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
Update, root kit scanner found nothing.

Hi，
I sugegst you check settings under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center\Make the keyboard easier to use, when a setting under that pane is turned on or turned off, it usually plays a sound or displays a message. sounds like the
situation you described here.
Meanwhile, please aslo keep the latest drivers for the keyboard.

Embedded Windows Media PLayer With Non-Standard File Extension

I have embedded a windows media player in a asp.net web page, using the usual
<object> and <embed> tags. The video is served by an ashx (http handler). When I try to play the video, I usually (but not always) get an error message telling me that the file extension (ashx) does not match the file format.
This happens in IE (8, 9, 10, 11) and also in Firefox (latest) with the WMP plugin.
I know that the tags (with classid, etc) are correct because the media player displays and allows me to click the 'play' button.
The ashx returns the correct mime type (video/x-ms-wmv) and a valid file name (somevideo.wmv) in the response headers. I have tried content-disposition attachment and inline.
I have tried urls using 'http://', 'https://', and '//' (which I prefer)
If I put the url (including the .ashx) of the video file in the browser address bar directly, the video downloads and plays in the standalone media player.
If I modify the object tag to use a direct path to the video file (/somewhere/somevideo.wmv), it works - but I can't use this as a solution.
The same ashx serves up video and audio in various other formats with out any fuss - it just seems that the embedded windows media player doesn't like it.
This has been working for several years - I think this is some new behavior, though I can't identify what has changed, other than browser updates.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Am I missing something simple?

My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers. When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay. How can I get internal speakers back.

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

Audio Mixer Window Does Not Appear

I have been using Premiere Elements for years in various versions (current project in V8, just downloaded V9 trial. Tonight I went to use the Audio Mixer function and found that when I click on Audio Mixer in the dropdown menu it does not appear. I then downloaded the V9 trial and have the same issue.
Its hard to believe that I have not tried to do audio mixer functions in V8. But the last time I used the audio mixer in Premiere Elements it was accessed with a small button and worked find. Perhaps that was version 7. I have no memory of when I upgraded from 7 to 8.
Help! Why will the audio mixer window not appear?

I tried to access the Mixer from both the drop down menu below the right side panel and top of the interface on 8.0. Then I loaded 9.0. Same test same result first time around.
Then I read your note and tried both places again and the top of the interface worked in 9.0! Now both locations work in both versions. Weird.
Thanks very much for the response.

OT: looking for Logic Audio for Windows XP

Apologies for the crass request, but I'm looking a cheap copy of Logic Audio that will run on Windows XP. I just found some old Logic Audio recordings I did years ago, but I've lost my LAGW 4 CD, and in any case, I'm not sure if LAGW 4 even worked on Windows XP .... I've come to love Macs at work, but I haven't saved enough to make the move at home.
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy

I assume the key you refer to is analogous to the dongle I have for LAGW, and it sounds as if you are not willing to part with yours . I don't care much about stability, since my main interest at the moment is to do an audio track dump (with edits) and MIDI export so I can continue working in Cubase in the near term. Contact me at [email protected] if you are willing to help me out. Otherwise, I'll keep looking. It's frustrating ... there must be many thousands of people out there with unused copies of Logic Audio for Windows, especially since it was never very stable, even on Windows 95 .

Can't output Digital Audio in Windows 7 (Macbook Air 2011).

Hi All,
I'm using my MBA 2011 to play 3D Blurays Movies.
The problem is...
> Lion works fine (with HDMI audio) but i can't play 3D Blurays in LION, just 2D Blurays. [I can send...DTS/DOLBY etc etc to my RECEIVER with no problems using the "Moshi mini DP to HDMI adapter".]
> In Windows i can play 3D Blurays (using Power DVD, Corel Win DvD; Arcsoft total media...etc) but i can't use the mini DP digital Audio function as in Lion...(So i think i need a better support driver here....from Intel, Apple or
In the device manager i have an "Intel (R) graphics audio" """device""", but i don't have it listed as a device/extrernal-speaker in Windows interface, i currently have..."just the cirrus logic internal speakersdriver" and the "cirrus logic headphones analog output".
So, anyone know how to output DIGITAL audio using Windows 7 bootcamp?
Best Regards,
Sebastian.

Thanks for your comments. To answer your question theologos, the difference in battery life is huge. I only ran down the full batery in windows and it lasts for a little over 3 hours, depending on how you use it. Fully charged, OS X says I have a little over 7 hours to run although I've never tried to see if it actually gets that much. It seems to last a lot though. I almost never use OS X because I need to do run a lot of windows programs and a lot of statistics in Excel which is disabled by microsoft on office 2011 for mac. Heat levels in windows are acceptable. For general tasks CPU temperature stays below 70 degrees and the laptop is only mildly warm. Even playing starcraft 2 on full settings doesn't cause it to heat up to unomfortable levels.
I realise that graphics switching is disabled in Windows and I hate Apple for it, I know they are doing it on purpose. This is not a question of which OS is better, they both have their merits. However, my guess is this is done via the bootcamp drivers for windows. Since the AMD Radeon 6750 M has graphics switching and is able to perform it with no probs on other non-mac windows laptops I was wondering whether I could remove all the apple graphics drivers and install the default AMD ones. I'm specifically referring to the catalyst driver ackage off the AMD website for this graphics card. If the hardware is there and there are drivers for windows why would it not work on a Mac? If I were to format the system and simply install Windows how would the macbook pro know to keep the integrated graphics disabled? My worry is that if I install the AMD drivers and remove some of the bootcamp ones this might screw up bootcamp if it doesn't recognize them. Anyone tried to do this with any success?

Problem Disabling Beats Audio w/ Windows 10

Hi - I have problem with Beats Audio Control Panel after upgrade windows 8 .1 to windows 10. I updated the audio drivers which didn't solve the problem.
Product Name: Hp Pavilion dv7-7051swProduct Number: B6G49EA#AKD Driver Versions:IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - 6.10.6491.0
Intel(R) Display Audio Driver - 6.16.0.3154NVIDIA Virtual Audio Driver - 1.2.30.0 I tried also reinstall this driver but it didn't help.
It's propapbly the same issue as here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Problem-Disabling-Beats-Audio-w-Windows-8-1/m-p/3208867#M43609 Thanks for any help.DMaster

Hey, I had the same problem as you and solved it. Product Name: HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC
Product Number: J0C48EA#AB9
OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit While using Windows 8.1, what I did to disable the Beats Audio Control Panel was to update the driver to the generic High Definition Audio, as this guy shows:
https://goo.gl/0XN7Nl When I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, the new OS started using the IDT driver, enabling the Beats Audio Control Panel.
I've tried to do the same under Windows 10 but there was Generic Audio Driver a.k.a. High Definition Audio Driver available. This is what I did:
1. Download, install the High Definition Audio Tool from Microsoft Hardware Dev Center, and restart your PC. This is the generic audio driver that was missing:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/8/D/48D7ED36-832B-41D7-AE0A-04AD7D8CA837/HdauSetup_x64.msi
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/Dn613936(v=VS.85).aspx 2. Open Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers
3. Righ Click Menu over IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and select Update Driver Software
4. Choose Browse my computer for driver software
5. Choose Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
6. Choose High Definition Audio Device
7. Select Yes in the Update Driver Warning 8. The High Definition Audio Codec is installed and the Beats Audio Control Panel disabled Now I can hear all my music again without the awful Beats Audio effects and volume variations that are a nag.
Hope this helps you out. Thank you. hitek81
