HP Pavilion dv2500 no sound card detected after reinstallation

HP Pavilion entertainment PC (Laptop) dv2500
OS Windows 7 Ultimate
AMD system, nvidea
I recently upgraded a friends computer from Windows Vista to, windows 7 Ultimate.
The icon for sound in the task bar ( a speaker) has a red x marked on the speaker.
After trouble shooting using the windows trouble shooter, I got a message "below"
Trouble shooting Has completed
The troubleshooter has made some changes to your system try attempting the task you were trying to do before
       problem found
          Hardware changes might not have been detected                                                   Detected    !
the red x is still there and i still have no sound.
does this mean that I may need a new sound card or can it possibly be that I need to install a driver.
If I need a new sound where can I find this driver. Is it possible to us an external driver Is there such a thing
Thankyou

this looks like a driver issue. can you share the computer product number, it must be on the bottom of notebook. its something like AB123CD#ABA. that will help me share correct driver to you. thanks

Audigy 2 UNDETECTED BY creative cd-rom software, NO SOUND CARD DETECTED IN YOUR

Hello,
My card just did the same thing 'NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP SP2' and I found the solution by mere chance.
In fact I have purchased an Audigy 2 card two years ago and didn't like the plastic outputs. So I purchased an Audigy 2?ZX a month later thinking that I would return the first one and I forgot to. I changed my motherboard yesterday?having purchased a new clockable one.
I?overclocked the motherboard by a small 0% before installing all the pci's I have, just to try. In fact, I left it overclocked and installed all the?PCI's after. The Audigy 2 ZX was not recognised by the installation?CD. I could install manually all the softwares on the CD except 2. THX and another thing. I found that there was no equalizer and I hated the idea.
I worked on this and google for hours today. After dinner, I remembered I had another Audigy 2 in the cupboard. So I took it out, removed all Creative software on the PC through ADD/Remove. then uninstalled all the creative stuff in Control panel/system/hardware/device manager. then uninstalled the driver through the file CTZAPXX.EXE on the cd-rom.
I then shut off the PC , removed overclocking, replaced the cards and after boot, the CD-rom software recognized the card at once.
So I presume that the card has a chip, were it is recognised with. (EPROM) and this gets erased.
after all was working, I switched back the cards, and all was excellent.
so if you can get hold of another card for a couple of minutes, install the second card and all will go well. After, you just have to replace the cards. Beware not to keep your PC overclocked. I thing its the extra voltage to the PCI's that erases the eprom.
phew, I hope this hel

? A soundfont cannot contain alle drumkits, and it is not nessecary at all. I dont know a soundfont bank wich contains a complete set of drumkits, too. There are only some soundfonts like the crysis soundfont (to big for its "bad" quality) wich have some dummy-drumkits/ entrys or slightly modified sounds for each than usual. If all drumnkits would be stored in high-quality, the soundfont would be huge... Every synth i know uses the standard drumkit, if the chosen one is not existent. This is not optimal, but it will guarantee, that the the MIDI file or Program/ game will work. The KXDrivers wont do this. SO they are not useable for General MIDI. Only for MIDIs and soundfonts fitting together. But thats not the point of General MIDI. CMSS isnt working with these drivers, too. Dolby decoding/ encoding isnt possible with them, either. These drivers are not bad, but if you want a completely working card, KXdrivers are worthless.

Problems detected after updating to iTunes version 11.1.3.8

Problems detected after updating to iTunes version 11.1.3.8 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version, Service Pack 1.
USB connected iPhone 4 (iOS 7.0.4) is not recognised in iTunes.
Sluggish response when starting iTunes.
Any known remedy?

After updating to the newest version of iTunes which is 11.1.3.8, I can no longer edit song information because whenever I click Get Info, the program crashes. It says, "iTunes has stopped working...". I literally tried all the troubleshooting techniques here but to no avail!
I already:
Reinstalled iTunes and other related programs like a hundred times
Scanned my computer for viruses
Opened iTunes on another user account
Opened iTunes on safe mode
Removed unusable configuration files
BUT STILL, the problem persists. I have the same version of iTunes on my office computer and it works perfectly fine but I want my iTunes here at home to get fixed. Never had problems with editing song information until I updated it to 11.1.3.8.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I updated this program last January 1 and until now I haven't found any solution. It's really getting on my nerves!!!

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?

Have you went to Bose"s support site?
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update.

[SOLVED] No sound cards detected - /proc/asound missing

Yet another case of 'i've spent too long banging my head on the keyboard so i'm going to run to you for help'. Essentially i've been using OSS since i've installed Arch, worked fine - although there was absolutely no sound in Wine programs no matter what driver i selected so i decided to try using ALSA. This is the start of my problem. Removed all the OSS packages i could find, ! commented the daemon in rc.conf then proceeded to install ALSA... or, some ALSA utilities since it seems to be included in the kernel? Anyway, alsaconf can't find any sound cards. Upon further investigation it seems as though there isn't any /proc/asounds directory at all. Although lspci clearly shows:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
So i'm pretty stumped, no idea where to go from here. I've got ALSA working fine on this machine before, in Arch too... thanks for any help

Yup, i had done that. However, my search led to this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119263
Which seemed to be a similar problem but their solution did not help (pacman -S kernel26). But i'm pretty sure by this point it's a problem with my modules (ultimately my own stupidity, but we'll get to that later ). This led me here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=18828
Which again didn't present any solutions that worked, however, upon checking my rc.conf again i noticed a blacklisted module by the name of 'soundcore'. I don't ever remember doing that, or could think of any reason why it would exist so i unblacklisted it, rebooted and now it all works - finding sound cards, alsamixer, playing sound. The lot.
All that's left to do now is see if switching from OSS to ALSA actually solved the problem in Wine i wanted it to Thanks a lot for all the help guys!
Also - changed thread title.
EDIT: It did fix the problem, OSS is great but it simply does not play ball in the slightest when it comes to Wine.

[Solved] SB Live 5.1 Sound card changes after each reboot.

Hi
I have SB Live 5.1 soundcard that changes it's "location" after each upgrade, and I have to do the changes manually in the different applications: xmms, vlc, xine, etc in order to have sound back.
As you can imagine it's quite tediuos to do the changes everytime.
And videos, radio or music, can't be heard at all from internet.
Only when sound card is in hw: 0,0 no manually setups are not needed and sound in internet is ok.
This is the aplay -l output when is in hw: 0,0

Hi
Now it's solved following this link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA
There found section: Set the default sound card
Where have to change file /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
and also in /etc/rc.conf disable modules of the other sound card:
MODULES=(!snd-via82xx)
Tks

[Solved] no sound cards detected

after just doing a clean install on my windows pc (to finaly remove it for good yay) my sound does not work. i look under settings and it only shows "dummy output" no other sound devices witch there sould be.
i have tried removing fluidsynth and checked to see if there are any programs using pulseaudio using # fuser -v /dev/snd/*
after reading the pulseaudio wiki on the issue it suggested editing .asoundconf but it was not present on my system, well not in the home folder at least.
i know the sound card works as it worked in windows 7 and arch only 1 hour ago. the only change to my set up is that i am using catalyst as my graphics driver.
other system details
i am using gnome via cdm as catalyst does not work with gdm
64-bit version of arch
thanks in advanced for any help

"A How-To" on the steps to FIX the Problem of NO Sound Card DETECTION with AUDIGY 2 and Win XP

Note#: When restarting the PC each time, shut off the main power switch on the Power Supply then back on.
Note#2: You will need the Windows XP CD WITH the SP2 on it or have the download SP2 Install file from MS on your PC. I have it on CD.
. Remove the sound Card
2. Use the Removal/Un-installation Procedures for the drivers in Knowledge Base Under Windows XP Step by step. Restart to get all the files deleted in the Creative folder if necessary.
Here is the (Solution ID#) for the Uninstallaion found in the Creative.com Knowledge Base: SID72 "How to uninstall Sound Blaster drivers and applications?"
Alternati'vely, Click on the Sound Blaster Picture Box under the Knowledge Base Main Search Page and the article should be in the resulting list.
3. Use the DCProSetup_.exe from http://files.trunetworks.com/utilities/
Use it carefully Selecting [Creative] then Check the box for Muntiple Cleaning Filters, and remove the Creative Audio Drivers by Clicking on Start.
4. Go into the Registry by Typing Regedit in the Start>Run.. Menu
Navigate and remove the Entry for CTCMSGo.exe, it is running in the back ground otherwise and i believe it interrupts the re-installation of MediaSource Files.
HKEY_CURRENT USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
The file link/tag, it will be on the right half of the screen, Delete it. CTCMSGo.exe=(Creative Technologies Media Source Go)
5. Restart the PC, dont forget to switch Power Supply to off while powered down and on before powering back up.
6.Go to the Win XP SP2 CD or the file downloaded, select re-install but choose UPDATE, not New Installation. Let the Install run and update your pc, this procedure has no data loss or settings changes in Windows.
7. Restart PC
8. Turn off PC and install the Audigy 2 Card. Then turn on the PC. At this point you might get a plxcore.plx Error of file missing. Not to worry.. copy the file from within the Creative Drivers CD and paste it into the Creative Folder In C:\Program Files\Creative
The Knowledge base Article on the steps is: SID287 "Error: Program could not load because Plxcore.plx cannot be found"
9. Power up and see if you get PCI Device, and Audio Controller Detetion. If you dont then do the following:
A) Remove the Sound Card and Re-install the Win XP SP2 Update a number of times ( I did this about 5 times until detection) Each time restart and install the Sound Card into any of the empty PCI Ports until detection.
If that does not work after a number of times try the following:
B)Power off and switch the PCI slot of the Sound Card (to all the PCI slots if necessary with complete power off each time) Without Re-installing XP SP2 Update.
0. After you get Detection, The Windows Auto Installer for Drivers will pop up..select Find Drivers Automatically, then Install then install the drivers it finds. It will put in some basic Audigy Drivers from the CD or online i'm not sure where it gets them from. Keep your Driver CD in the CD Dri've.
.Restart the PC, then install the Drivers and Media Source Files from the CD (it may not all get installed and may give an error and you have to shut down and re-install the drivers and Media Source over again and over again so it fills in the gap of missing files/drivers until it all works without deleting the previously installed parts).
2. Only install this update from the File/ Downloads Section on the Creative website: EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe Dated 29 July 04. The new beta one that was released is what started all my troubles, so plz i urge you to wait for it to be official.. unless you really want to test it out at your risk.
And there you have it.. in 8 Hours and some ideas from friends and relati'ves concerning detection problems of other hard ware they have had i decided to play Roulette all night and this combo works. I had to play Roulette switching the PCI slots (5 of them), and then towards the end play Roulette with the Creative Driver CD install... until they all work perfectly. WHEW!!!
Notice: I hope if you are really ticked off at having no sounds and want to try this at your own risk and responsiblity go ahead, and I wish you luck. None of the proedures are too out of the ordinary. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me and maybe it will possibly for other similar Sound Cards as well.. like ZS or Li've! etc. with similar problems. Happy Sound Blasting!!!

Sound Card Trouble After -Syu

Hello,
I'm really not sure what I've done, but my sound is no longer working, and alsamixer does not detect my sound card anymore.
I upgraded to kernel26 2.6.30.5-1 earlier today and so I suppose that could be to blame. I rebooted into the fallback kernel and the sound still works fine.
I am using ALSA,
SB Audigy 2 [SB0240P] Chip SigmaTel STAC 9721,23
lspci gives me:
06:07.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04)
06:07.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy Game Port (rev 04)
06:07.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Creative Labs SB Audigy FireWire Port (rev 04)
I also, earlier today, ran the command:
aconnect -x
Could that be related?
I have been reading the forum and reviewing the ALSA wiki, but to no avail.
I am completely at a loss.

It doesn't work every time, but after four times rebooting with Fallback it worked.

Pulse audio no sound card detected

Hello,
I have installed pulse audio according to the wiki but after install and reboot no sound card is detected. My pc is sony vaio VGN-NW21MF and the lspci output for the sound device is following
01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV710/730
I don't have alsa installed and try the trouble shooting section in wiki but still don't resolve the problem.Thx for any help. I using gnome and have dbus loaded
Last edited by arturr (2011-01-25 16:41:33)

I am confused have you installed alsa or not?
your first sentence says that you have, your last says that you don't. and your title talks about pulse audio.

Hp pavillion 500-185el graphic card problems after update to windows 8.1

hallo
after i done the Windows 8.1 update my graphic card is giving me some problem.
occasionally my desktop become black for 1-2 seconds and the background disappears.
I've update all drivers.
the problems started after the update to Windows 8.1
graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
driver version: 13.150.102.0
thanks for support

Hey @jdudleyjones ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the card reader for your notebook is no longer working after updating to Windows 8.1.
You're probably right that it's a driver issue, however just like you I don't know which card reader you're using either.
Can you please tell me which notebook you have? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
It would also help if you could tell me the Hardware ID for the card reader. Here's how you find it:
Press Windows Key + X
Click Device Manager
Click View at the top and select Show hidden devices.
You will most likely find the card reader listed under Other devices as an Unknown device.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the Details tab.
Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids.
Note down the first ID in the list (as you'll see they're all pretty much the same regarding the Ven_ and Dev_ numbers which is all I need).
Once you've provided this info I should be able to find the drivers for you.
Look forward to hearing back from you!
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!
Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Headphones not detected after update to 5.1.1

Hi all, After updating to 5.1.1 my Z3C no longer detects when I plug in my headphones (neither the ones that came with the phone nor others). - Clearing data for Smart Connect doesn't help- Rerouting sound output with SoundAbout does work, but is not practical - it shows the jack itself is not broken, though- Installing SmartKey did nothing- Production week is 15W25, so not from the "faulty weeks" I have not done any "software repair" or factory reset yet. Anyone else experiencing the same issue after updating?

No, no solution. Support asked me to do a "software repair" through the Companion, and if that didn't help I would have to send the phone in for service. I have just gone through the repair procedure, but no luck. I guess there's no escaping sending away the phone, then. Now all I have to do is to somehow find a phone (that accepts nano SIM) that I can use in the mean time - I can't do my work without a phone

Sound Card changes after every reboot

Alright, I've had this little issue since I installed Arch on one of my computers. After every reboot, the sound card changes and I have to manually edit my .asoundrc to get sound. It's not a huge deal but it is very annoying. How do I prevent my system from switching my sound card?
This the output from aplay -l

Yeah that didn't work. I get a message about .asoundrc being old or corrupted so Alsamixer basically ignores it.
I assume you changed the 'XFi' (my preferred sound card) to 'STX'
