No SOUND DEVICE with Windows 7 in an L505-ES5036

The sound icon in the task bar is shown inoperative. When parking the cursor over it, it says: there is no sound device installed. If there is no device then it can't very well load the sound driver!
I reloaded the codec and went to bios and reset all the options to presets, but none of this helped. I assume that the sound board has bought the farm.
If anyone has any better ideas, please let me know. This problem is seriously cutting into my recreation time.
Thanks- Richard

If you have any NVidia graphics card installed, turn off its driver(s). This worked for me in my Mac Pro 3,1, because I had a conflict with the on-board RealTek HD-Audio drivers, which I now use as the primairy driver.
Good Luck & Cheers!

FMLE 3.2 and 3.1 can't detect an audio device with Windows 8.1

FMLE 3.2 and 3.1 can't detect an audio device with Windows 8.1 x64 on an MSI GT72-2QD laptop. I tried 2 different webcams but the result was the same. Both the internal mic and the ones going with the webcams work fine with other software but when I try FMLE it looks as follows:
It says that there's no audio device connected (although the mics work fine elsewhere), the dropout is blank and the audio parameters are grayed out and inactive even with the "audio" box checked. Both versions of FMLE work fine with the same cams on a desktop which has all the same tech specs but uses Win 7 x64. Running FMLE in Win7 compatibility mode or reinstalling with register cleaning doesn't help. What can be done about it?

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the advice. It succeeded.
The steps I made was to make a disk copy of my original Windows XP disk using Disk Utilty. Then I renamed the disk copy into .iso. I copied the ISO file to my usb flash drive.
Than I started Parallels 7, created a new VM, selected the correct drive to install from (the usb flash drive) and volia, it worked.

No Sound Encoding with Windows media encoder

Recently bought a dv8 with windows 7
I am trying to encode a wmv from a few video files. The video works fine but I get no sound.
Im have been trying to find a combination of sound settings in the sounds manager>recordings tab. but nothing seems to work.
Im am also using the hardware profile option for compression with video set to high and I have chosen various sound profiles.
I just cant seem to get the audio to pass from the file into the encoder. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp58226.exe
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, shut down 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.

Default Sound device with attached USB devices

Hi,
my situation: i've got an iMac 27" with an attached 24" cinema display (using display port and usb). Also i've plugged in a usb headset (headphone with microphone).
Whenever booting up Mac OSX 10.6.4 (also happened to older version of Mac OSX, at least all 10.6.x versions) OSX sets the default audio device (input, output and system sounds) to the cinema displays audio device. No matter what i choose as the default sound device i have to reset it after every boot.
Does anyone know how to come around this? I know i can easily set the device by alt clicking on the speaker symbol in the menu, i know there are tools out there like SoundSource that let me even more easily set the sound device but all i want to have is a default sound device that doesn't get overridden on every boot.
Any help?

All right, I seem to have solved it. The fact that it was only working using plughw: should have tipped me off, but at any rate, this is my working ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:1,0"
ctl.!default {
type hw

External USB sound device with SPDIF In?

Hi all,
I would like to know if Creative has any external USB sound cards with a SPDIF interface that works with Windows 7. I have an Extigy, and as I know it, it will not work with anything newer than XP.
I need a USB card with SPDIF input to bridge my Astro b.yond 5. SPDIF audio to my 5. speaker kit. For various reasons I cannot change the existing sound card in the computer.
Please help.

I don't know that sound card or application software, but the usual reason for this is that somehow you have reverted to the Microsoft wdm drivers rather than the asio ones you need for multi channel use.
This sometimes happens with some usb interfaces if you have connected the interface originally before installing any drivers. Removing any drivers associated with usb audio and then re-installing them might be worth a try.

Sound Problems with Windows Vista

Hey,
Ever since I installed Windows Vista onto my MBP, the sound has not worked properly. Can someone please help me with this, it doesn't recognize my sound card and I do not know what to do. Someone please help me.
Thanks A Lot,
Dawn Holubiak

I am interested by your following answer:
All you have to do is reinsert your Mac Windows Drivers CD and open it up (NOT TO INSTALL EVERYTHING AGAIN) but so you can individually choose which items to install. Scroll to SigmaTech Audio and just install that and POOF you have sound!
What do you call the Mac Windows Drivers CD?
I have installed parralell in order to run Vista on my MBP and indeed having some problems with the quality of the sound so happy to learn how to fix it. Thanks for yur help.

Can I share photos on networked storage device with windows user?

Ok, so I have done my research and feel kinda confidant about moving iPhoto Library to external hard drive. However my windows using husband now wants to know if there is a way he can see them too, as I have pics/videos he does not. Also is there a way to organize the photos from his computer on ExHD so I could see them in iPhoto?
I am scared to death that he is going to get into my Library file (even on accident) and jack something up to the point that I lose all my pictures, or the ability to access them, etc...
We would like to be able to share music as well, would same principles apply? Any suggestions?
ExHD is networked between the two computers if that makes any difference.?

What format is that networked storage device?
Users report many problems with Libraries that are stored on disks formatted anything except Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - these include problems importing, sharing and saving edits.
iPhoto has no cross platform ability whatever. The best you might do is to use a Referenced Library but this has problems too, so research that carefully.
Best option: tell your husband to get a Mac.
Regards

Sound issues with Windows 7 running on Boot Camp

Alright, so here's the deal. I used bootcamp to download XP a few days ago, and noticed that since we (a family member and myself) couldn't get any of the drivers for ethernet, etc, to work because we couldn't use internet, we decided to download Windows 7 on the partition that Boot Camp created for XP. Well, everything works fine and dandy, but I have no iSight usage, nor do my speakers, or headphone port work. (There's a little red LED shining in the port) I can live without the iSight, but I do need sound for some applications. Is there a fix for this?
(This is on my Macbook, 13.3 inch, Core2 duo, late 2007.)
Edit: forgot to add that this is the 36 bit version of Win7 I'm using. Or 34. I can't remember. It was less than 64. And I'm very sure that I had Boot Camp 3.0 and updated to 3.1

I understand your post to mean that you used bootcamp to install XP and to install Windows 7. If my interpretation is correct, I may have found the reason for your difficulty.
I do not use Boot Camp or Windows®.However, if your system info correctly shows that you are using Mac OS X (10.5.8) on a Intel 20" iMac (late 2008), this article from Apple's Boot Camp Support Page seems to say that you would need to upgrade your Mac OS to 10.6 in order to use Windows 7:

Satellite U200-124 - Unknown devices with Windows XP SP2

I downloaded Toshiba U200 drivers for Windows XP from this site, install Windows, install all drivers.
Well.
But i have 2 unrecognized devices in device manager.
1. NIC 1394. Device Code V1394\NIC1394\92423A3900
2. PCI Device. Device Code PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_803C&SUSBSYS_00011179&REV_00\4&6B 16D5B&0&5BF0
Modem & FireWire are not working.
What can I do?

As Ivan said the drivers are not installed correctly and therefore the unknown devices appear in the device manager.
The installation instruction shows the right installation order. This order is necessary and important to get all devices working!!!
Please visit the Toshiba European driver page, choose the right series and download and install the right and compatible drivers like mentioned in the txt. file

Getting Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder work with Windows 8.1 on a GT72-2QD

Has anyone ever used Adobe Flash Media Encoder 3.1 or 3.2 to stream live under Windows 8.1? I can't get it detect an audio device with Windows 8.1 x64 on an MSI GT72-2QD laptop. I tried 2 different webcams but the result was the same. Both the internal mic and the ones going with the webcams work fine with other software but when I try FMLE it looks as follows:
It says that there's no audio device connected (although the mics work fine elsewhere), the source select dropout is blank and the audio parameters are grayed out and inactive even with the "audio" box checked. Both versions of FMLE work fine with the same cams on a desktop which has all the same tech specs but uses Win 7 x64. Running FMLE in Win7 compatibility mode or reinstalling with register cleaning doesn't help. I believe FMLE is getting in conflict either with the Windows 8.1 or with some of the preinstalled software (I haven't installed any programs yet other than the ones that came preinstalled with the laptop and uninstalled the Gamecaster prior to installing Adobe Encoder). What can be done about it other than downgrading to Win7?

Allow user to select default sound device.

Currently Spotify defaults to using the default sound device under windows when launched, it would be neat if you could choose which sound device you want to use isntead in the options screen, Thanks

I really need this feature. I use multiple soundcards to split outputs into different sets. For example. I do not want Spotify to playback using my headphones but my speakers while I play a game or anything else for that matter. I also tend to Stream some of my games and don't want Spotify to be recorded- This is the whole reason I had to set up another soundcard by the way.
Please, just add this small but essencial feature like any other Audio related product.
