Failed to play test tone

When ever I try to play any sound, nothing happens. When I go into the control panel and double click on the “sound” icon, it shows my speakers. And when click on my sound device or speakers, and hit test, the message I get it "failed to play test tone".
Now for some background.
1. I had a different soundcard that was doing the same thing, but I thought maybe it just "went bad", so I bought a new one. I’ve installed it with no problem.
2. Yes, all the drivers are up to date. I've run Windows update numerous times and I've double checked the driver version against the one on the manufactures website - they are the same. Everything is up to date.
3. The device manager can see my speakers/sound card and it says its working.
4. I started out on another forum "Media foundation development - Re:Vista/No Sound/Failed to play test tone" and read the whole thread, did everything it told me to, and I even e-mail Microsoft to get a hotfix. I installed the hotfix, to no avail. Nothing has changed, my sound still does not work.
5. The posters/answers at the above thread said they weren't really audio experts and were directing everyone to this thread.


Please help.

Sound has stopped working; failed to play test tone; format not supported by the device (Vista x64 Ultimate)

I can no longer hear any sound from my speakers/headphones. This happened suddenly yesterday without any hardware changes or noticeable software updates.
-- The sound is not muted and the volume is set to full.
-- In the device manager, my SigmaTel HD Audio device has no warnings or errors.
-- I can't find any related messages in the Event Viewer.
-- The primary audio device is selected as the default for playback. The mixer shows my media player as being mixed properly to the device.
-- In the sound control panel, under Playback > Speakers/Headphones > Properties > Advanced:
- I get the error message "failed to play test tone" when I try to Test my Default Format (dvd quality)
- I get the error message "format not supported by the device" when I try to change my Default Format
-- Note that unlike others who have similar problems, I'm not joined to a domain
I've tried
* rebooting
* uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the sound card
* "disable all enhancements" in the sound control panel
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowspro-audiodevelopment/thread/b09e43ba-3ffa-4a45-9593-8eee686f124a/)
* looking in the registry for some registry key (not found)

Computer details
Dell XPS M1530
Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 with current updates
SigmaTel driver version 6.10.0.5866
**Update**
I followed the following steps:
    * using regedit, go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\Audio and change the “Start” value from 0 to 1.
    * Reboot the machine
    * Try to play an audio file.
    * Post a link to the generated log file which you can find in: %WINDIR%\system32\LogFiles\Audio
but don't know where to post the resulting AudioSrv.Evm.001 file. It's also not human readable and I can't find what utility parses it for reading.
**Another update**
Still can't read the EVM. logparser 2.2 can't parse it.

Dell confirms it's an OS issue after troubleshooting with me for a couple of hours (wow)
Is there a way to look at this EVM file _without_ installing the Windows Driver Kit??

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Windows Vista Forum.
Upon your description, I see that you have done a lot of research and tests. Unfortunately, none of these troubleshooting works.
Based on my experience, this issue related to "failed to play test tone" can be related to several reasons. It also includes hardware defect. I am confusing why Dell confirms that the issue is related to Operating System. Could you let me know what operation Dell had troubleshot with you?
Meanwhile, here I just provide more troubleshooting except what you performed. If it doesn't work, I may also need to recommend that you contact Dell for support.
1. Microsoft has released a Hotfix to troubleshoot related to "Failed to play test tone".
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930883
2. Make sure that these services are started.
Windows Audio
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Remote Procedure Call
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
3. I noticed that this issue occurred not long ago, I may need to suggest that you perform a System Restore to the previous restore point when the computer without any problem.
System Restore
==============
1)     Please click on Start and choose All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then Windows Backup.
2)     Click Restore on the left pane.
3)     Choose Basic Restore.
4)     Follow the wizard and click Next.
5)     If you would like to restore everything in the backup, we can check the box “Restore everything in this backup” on the top of the window.
6)     We can also browse and choose certain files and folders to restore. Then, click Next.
7)     Then choose the folder to save the recovered files and click Next.
8)     When we see a “Restore is complete!” message, click Finish.
Meanwhile, as I know, I'm afraid that there is no other way to look at EVM file except Windows Driver Kit. Maybe there are some third-party software that out of my mind can look at EVM files, you may need to perform more research on Internet.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

No HDMI Audio, Failed to Play Test Tone, Can't Change Default Playback Device

Hello, I'm experiencing some real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us (with the i3-330M, no dedicated graphics) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance.
I've created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what worked for them, nothing has worked for me.
The Problem(s):
My main problem is that I cannot get any audio to play from my PC to my HDMI HDTV.
When I plug my HDMI cable into my PC and TV, the TV is recognized in Playback Devices, but nothing can play to it.
When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get a "Failed to play test tone" error.
Additionally, I'd like to mention some other odd behavior that I think may be a part of the main problem.
In Playback Devices, I cannot change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can't set default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes inside device properties. Every time I try to change something, like the default playback device, nothing happens or the changes are immediately reversed.
The Question:
How can I get audio to play over HDMI on my PC (It's not a problem with the TV, my other HP machines play audio over HDMI to it just fine.)?
What I've Tried:
I have tried:
Changing the default playback devices, which I'm unable to do
Running the Windows 7 Audio Playback troubleshooters from within a clean boot state
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Intel(R) Display Audio driver
Uninstalling and reinstalling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Uninstalling the IDT PC Audio program from Programs and Features
Disabling the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Nothing has worked.
The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP
How can I get this working? I would really appreciate some assistance.
I'm at the point where I'm ready to try pretty technically-involved suggestions, so, please feel free to post those.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

"Failed to play test tone&qu

Ever since I installed the new drivers I get this error " Failed to play test tone"? Has anybody experienced this problem. Please help me get my older drivers installed. Everytime I try to uninstall the beta drivers and restart, DEVMgr instantly reinstalls the drivers. THANKS

I don't know how to solve the test tone error, but to prevent device manager from installing the same drivers again, do this:
After uninstalling all Creative products via the Control Panel -
go into Device Manager
Find your Sound Blaster entry - right click -> uninstall -> check box to delete driver software -> OK -> restart computer.
Those drivers should now be gone from your computer; your OS my install default generic audio drivers, but the Creative ones should be gone.

All sounds fail to play

Hello,
All of my sounds will fail to play until a reboot of the phone. This includes Pandora, music on the SD Card, built in ringtones, alarms, etc. This did not start happening until about 2 weeks ago when an update was pushed. This is a big issue being I use my phone for everything. (Email, Text, Alarm Clock, etc) What is the fix for this?
Android version 2.3.4
Build Number 4.5.1_57_DX8-51

My phone started having sound issues in mid-April. I stopped by the corporate store and they looked through my apps. Since I was still having the problems I was able to initiate a warranty replacement. I have had it happen again a couple of times with the new phone also. I was told that it was most probably an app causing the issue. I downloaded a very limited amount of apps and kept track of which apps as well as any issues. It has happened twice since but not in any close proximity of time to when an app was downloaded. Then this week a co-worker brought me her X complaining of the same issue. She told me she hasn't downloaded ANY apps in months.
It would be great to have a resolution, the only suggestion I received since was that it might be an up that had an update or an app that isn't playing nicely with the others!

Forcing AC3 (or other surround sound) soundtrack to play by default?

Is there a way to force Yosemite to always play movies in surround sound?
I have a Mac mini connected to a 7.1 Denon amp connected via HDMI.
Audio Midi Setup sees all the speakers and will play test tones on each of them.
When playing a movie in iTunes that has a surround track I'm able to click the Audio "Speech Bubble" and select English (AC3) and the surround sound works great.
The issue is that I have to click the Speech Bubble" and select English (AC3) every time. Is there a way to fore that option on without having to click?

Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Opping short Tone before a sound beginns to play -big problem

Hello,
i have 3 new macbookpro and all have this same problem.
I read something about that the soundcard goes to a sleep mode...
The Effect is, when a new mail comes and before the Sound begins to play, comes from the speakers a short popping/crack...
I try to use this small Software "noisy", that makes that the soundcard doesnt goes more to the sleep mode, but it needs on my 2,6 mbp 15% of my cpu!
I hope for help.

The sound card does not go to sleep (unless you put the computer to sleep and then the whole system is affected). If I am not sitting at my computer it will check mail normally (according to my settings) and announce the arrival of any messages.
You may have another problem depending on software you have installed.

From good iMovie to iDVD sound track not playing (let us try this again!)

There was an earlier problem of this posted here...the question was marked ANSWERED...but didn't solve anything for most of us that replied. So let us take it out for another spin...
Created in iMovie...works perfect in iMovie 6...then SHARE with iDVD. Attempting to preview...no sound track is played/heard.
Can someone let us know what is going on...how to fix...and why we users are forced to be beta-testers for RELEASED software? This problem seem like something that SHOULD have been found, tested and corrected by release date.
This product is wasting a lot of user's time and dvd discs.
Thanks

This product is wasting a lot of user's time and dvd discs.
Well I can help you stop wasting disks, at least! Use "Save as Disk Image" to encode the project and create a ".img" file. You can test the final encoding by mounting the .img file and playing it with DVD player in your applications folder. If this has sound, then burn it with Disk Utility.
iMovie will sometimes tolerate both 12 bit and 16 bit audio. iDVD won't - it must have 16 bit audio. Check the settings on your camcorder with the problem DV tape in it. If it is 12 bit audio, there are fixes listed here:

http://danslagle.dvmix.com/mac/iMovie/audio/1001.shtml
http://danslagle.dvmix.com/mac/iMovie/audio/1000.shtml
I know you say it plays fine in iMovie, but these fixes sometimes help files that work in iMovie but don't work right in iDVD.
If none of this applies, please let us know, and as F Shippey said, let Apple know too!

How to play a tone in FPGA

I am trying to play a tone(either a 4kHz or 7kHz) in a FPGA vi in Labview 2010. Below is the logic that I am currently using, however, I hear no tone when running the vi. Does anyone know why this is not working or have any other ideas to use different logic?
Attachments:
sound output FPGA.png ‏47 KB

Hi joes51385,
First of all, what kind of a speaker do you have connected to your analog output. This could be a problem with the speaker. Also, your logic looks correct, but why are you multiplying the sine wave by .3? Are you using the full-scale amplitude for the sine wave amplitude? Your sine wave amplitude may be too small, which could cause you not to hear the sound. A screenshot of the sine wave setup window would be helpful. Also, it may be more convenient to use frequency values of 0.000175 (7 kHz) and 0.0001 (4Hz).

Failed to play (stream ID: 1).

Hi all, I'm trying to simply stream audio from a FCS using
akamai, I can give you the stream if necessary, but for now I'd
prefer to keep it private. I can connect
(NetConnection.Connect.Success), but the net stream then fails.
// CODE
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.onStatus = function(oInfo:Object):Void {
trace("> nc status > " + oInfo.code);
trace("The connection code is: " + oInfo.code);
nc.connect("rtmp-stream-here");
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.onStatus = function(oInfo:Object):Void {
trace("> ns status > " + oInfo.code);
trace(">> " + oInfo.description);
ns.setBufferTime(1)
ns.play("test");
// OUTPUT
> nc status > NetConnection.Connect.Success
The connection code is: NetConnection.Connect.Success
> ns status > NetStream.Failed
>> Failed to play (stream ID: 1).
Does anyone know why I'm getting the: Failed to Play (Stream:
1).

Hi John,
Form the description of your issue (and from a short investigation) I can deduce that your assets do not have synchronized keyframes. Please try to re-encode them and force a fixed keyframe interval.
Since the switch can be done on keyframe only, and if you do not have a keyframe in the second stream at that position, the playback will stop with an error.

Randomly skips/fails to play some samples during playback?

Randomly skips/fails to play some samples during playback?

You're right that was foolish let me clarify.
Raising the I/O buffer thing is a good idea, i've tried that already though and no joy
BASICALLY i've had this problem with a couple of tracks, ones which i have worked on the longest and probably the ones with the most effect plugins and tracks used. Seemingly at random during playback some of the samples dont play (and some even stop playing halfway through the sample). If the regions are bounced, the resulting wav file visibly splits the original sound where the computer 'decided' to stop/restart playing the sample. Again, i haven't found a pattern: - at one point a four bar loop with three tracks solo'd would play all the tracks perfectly during playback for a few seconds, then suddenly switch to only playing one track, then switch back after another few seconds.
Weird.
I think it may be related to previous experience which i have had with the Space Designer and Echo effects, where the echo or reverb sound itself cuts out halfway through the sound/after a seemingly random amount of time (and then cuts back in).
I've seen this reverb and effect problem on more than one computer, but the original problem with the track playback is, in my experience, unique to my system.
The computer i'm using is not old or at all running out of memory (although i realise this does not exempt it from being the cause of the problem)
Anyway this has been trolling me for weeks and its driving me mad
Thanks
OP

I have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music soung , game sound.

i have the same problem in my iphone. i can receive call and talk and listen too otherwise no sound at all like ringer tone , on-off click soung , video-music song , game sound.
i have tried to clean the audio jack too but result is the same. Can any body help me please.

No external sound or not sound at all - external or when using the earbuds?
Standard troubleshooting steps in order are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home key and Sleep/Wake or On/Off key simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, Restore.
i had it once before, restored the iPhone and it was solved, but i don't want to restore my iPhone every day.
Does this happen every day? If not, when was the last time this happened?
If you have sound when using the earbuds, another thing to try is insert the earbuds and start playing a song - making sure the sound can be heard with the earbuds. Without pausing the song, remove the earbuds.
If no sound is available with the speaker and a the troubleshooting steps do not resolve it or one of the steps does resolve it but the same occurs again, time to give AppleCare a call (800) 694-7466 or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
