No Sound from Old T61 Now Updated to Windows 7 SP1

I'm getting no sound (neither System Sounds nor from Windows Media Player) from either the speakers or the phone jack on this 6459-CTO. The speaker control icon in the notification area indicates sound levels on both the source and the speaker in each case. Device Manager says the device is working properly. I've tinkered with all the sound setting I can find to no avail. Can somebody give me troubleshooting instructions to test the hardware itself and, if that is working, to track down the problem?
The following are details that you may not need:
I started out with Windows XP and, at least at some point, had sound, though I usually kept it muted with the on-keyboard buttons. I just did a clean install of Windows 7 SP1 from an OEM installation disk. I know I was hearing the "Windows Startup Sound" on reboots and couldn't stand it, so I disabled it by enabling Local Group Policy Editor/Local Computer Policy/Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Logon/Turn off Windows Startup Sound. Then I ran ThinkVantage System Update, which among other things, installed Hotkey Features Integration and SoundMax Audio SoftwareSupport, including the driver ("SoundMax Integrateed Digital HD Audio" version 6.10.2.7255 by Analog Devices). I started fretting when the on-keyboard speaker-control buttons didn't work (see thread at http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkVantage-Technologies/Lenovo-Volume-Mute-Keys-Don-t-Work-after-Clean... but eventually discovered this more serious problem.
Now I've uninstalled the Lenovo-provided SoundMax driver under Programs and Features and allowed Windows to replace it with a Microsoft driver (version 6.1.7601.17514). No change. Any other suggestions?

P.S. -- I remembered that I have a bootable CD of Linux Mint (suggested long ago by ajkula66 to debug a networking problem), but I don't really know how to use it nor whether it would constitute a valid test of the sound hardware. Mint boots up fine, appears to find the sound hardware, and can seemingly control the volume; but I don't know how to make it create any sounds. For example, it has a built-in media player but no sample tracks on the boot CD to play on it (and of course I can't try an audio CD because the drive is in use by Mint). I also think I can see how to turn on the default "alert" sound, but I don't know what Linux would recognize as an "alert" condition in order to make the sound. Again, any help would be much appreciated. -- JCW2

No sound from m4v files after update to IOS 5.1

Hello
After updating my AppleTV3 to IOS 5.1 there is no sound from mine .M4V files.
MP4 plays just fine. My apple TV is connected to LAN, and uses HDMI through my receiver.
Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Bought a new ATV3 and updated software. Gives me picture, but no sound when I play movie trailers on the Apple service. Also, no sound when I play purchased movies. These same trailers and movies play through my ATV1. Installed my new HDMI cable on the ATV1. No change.
I'm not interested in plugging directly into the TV. As I use an HDMI switch, the ATV3 follows the same path through the receiver.
Right now the thing is just a paper weight. Doesn't give me sound when mirroring from my iPad which was my reason for buying it.

Imported pics from old iphoto now am having trouble finding them on my HD..

hi there,
so here is my situation. I previously was using iphoto (from '05) and had several thousand photos, but last month one day when i opened iPhoto 95% of the photos were gone from iPhoto (my computer kept shutting off, power supply problem), but I could still find all of my photos on my HD under my username/pictures.
in any case, i just got a new mac with iphoto '09 and my local tech friend managed to get all of my old photos onto my new computer by creating a new folder (yadda yadda yadda) and all of these photos now show up in the new iphoto, but i am having a few problems, so here goes...
1. I like to view most of my photos in the 'photos' area of iphoto (as opposed to events, faces and so on) but it seems like with the older photos many show up in both an 'originals' folder and in a dated folder. i'm guessing this has something to do with photos that were edited or something of the sort. ideally, i'd just like to see one of everything. is this possible? also, of the 10K+ things moved onto the new iphoto were a number of movies uploaded from my camera. all of these show up in 'originals' wereas in the dated folders the show up as jpeg stills. why is this?
2. my biggest/most annoying problem has to do with newly uploaded pictures. actually uploading them is fine (they all go into 'untitled events' folders as opposed to the 'originals' or dated folders like all the others) it's just that i'm having trouble accessing them on my HD once they're on iphoto. in short, i email a lot of photos using hotmail. when uploading i'll typically go to macintosh hd / jeremiahpOLD(everything from old computer) / pictures / iphoto libary 2 (created to put all old photos) and they're all right there by date. but all my new photos that i'm uploading, which i thought would show up in the same place separated by date, aren't showing up. if i search for them on my HD the location shows up as 'jeremiahpOLD / modified / 2010 / date. so, i guess my big question is, how do i get newly uploaded photos to show up in the 'pictures' folder as opposed to the 'modified' folder (where i can't access them unless searching for a particular on my HD or thru iphoto)?
sorry, for the rambling. i'm just trying to figure this all out at once...it's very different from my old iphoto!
thanks in advance,
Jeremiah

iPhoto changed the way we access photos with iPhoto 7 (08) when the library folder became a package. Using the methods Larry linked you to will provide you with access to your photos for use outside of iPhoto. Another version of Terence Devlin's treatise with screenshots is shown below. The following is from one of Terence Devlin’s posts on file access for use outside of iPhoto. It’s the definitive treatise on the subject.
Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Accessing the iPhoto Library Folder directly has never been supported in any version of iPhoto.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For Users of 10.5 and later
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
For users of 10.4 and later ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
All of the above are a: faster and b: Safer than rooting around in the old Library Folder.

I hear no sound from my hp dv7 laptop after windows update

And, in all of a sudden, i have no sound at my hp laptop, right after I updated my windows vista. I tried the ''system restore'' solution, but it did not solve the problem. I cant even play the test sound, because I see the error message : ''failed to play test tone''.
My model number is dv7-2030eV and my product number is NQ560EA#B1A. My operating system is windows vista 32-bit.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you in andvance and Happy Holidays!

Hi diboz. "enlightlanka" made a good point, a driver reinstall would be a good step. If reinstalling doesn't resolve this issue, here are some more steps you can try.

No sound from Thunderbolt Display after update to OS X 10.9.3

So I updated to 10.9.3 this morning only to find there is no sound coming from my Thunderbolt Display after installation. Sound is now only audible from my MacBook Pro (late 2011). Also, see image below, there is no sign of any connected inputs other than my MBP now. I've shutdown and restarted a number of times, but still no audio from the display.
Really starting to wonder why it's worth spending so much on Apple products now...

I sent my TB Display in for repair. They had it almost a week and didn't find anything wrong with it. Instead they took in my MacBook Pro and replaced the logic board (2nd time it had been replaced) and the Display seems to be working fine now.
...except that for using 3rd party video conf apps, those apps only pick up the MBP camera (even though i try to change settings in app), not the TBD camera... but FaceTime and Skype find the TBD camera.
Strange.

I completely agree with that sentiment. That's why we pay through the nose for their products, so it feels very bad when they don't just work.

Imported photos from old mac now cant export onto new Macq

Ok so here is the deal.
I was in Iraq and I put all my photos from my Macbook I had to my iPhone. Now the hard drive in that thing crapped out so I bought a iMac the other day. Nice computer for $1700. But with all this money I have spent on this worthless company I can not get my photos off my phone.
As you can see I am ticked off. My phone is broke (lock button don't work) and now I can't get my photos off my phone to get my phone fixed. And the so called Genius' in the apple store just say plug it into iTunes and click import.
So does anyone have a way to get these photos off this phone or have I just found a way to loose 5 years worth of photos?
<Edited by Host>

You didn't backup your photos?
The photo sync is one way -computer to iphone.
You can e-mail them to yourself.
The pics will not be of the original quality - iphone pics are reduced in size and quality for viewing on iphone.
You could try a third party program - at your risk.

Loud "crack" sound from 2006 MBP, now will not charge from Magsafe PS

While using my 2006 MBP 2.33 C2D , there was a sudden loud "crack" / "pop" sound. I then noticed that the green charging light on the magsafe power adaptor had gone out. So i checked the mains socket, and everything there was OK. I then tried plugging the Magasfe adaptor into different power sockets, and still nothing.
I also tried the MBP with a spare magsafe adaptor i have, and that also fails to light the green light on the side to show any charge/power.
At the moment the MBP still works but is running off whats left on the battery charge.
So i'm guessing the "crack" sound I heard was some interal fusein the MBP blowing?
Any ideas? Could it be serious and an easy fix? In the past I have changed the HD, optical drive etc so am fairly ok at a bit of DIY on the MBP.

With the light on the Magsafe charger being out, I tend to suspect it rather then the MBP.
You might take the Magsafe charger to the Apple Store and see if they can test it for you. If it is bad, buy a new one. If not, then it would have to be the MBP.

PSE 10 Catalog from old XP laptop to new Windows 7 laptop

Hi,
I have an old laptop with Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows XP. I am now changing to a new laptop with Windows 7 (64). Based on my understanding I should make to following steps:
With old XP laptop: Create a full backup of the catalog to an external harddrive using PSE 10 Organizer's Backup Catalog -function.
Install PSE 10 SW to the new Windows 7 laptop.
Restore the backup from the external harddrive to new laptop using Restore Catalog -function.
Deactivate PSE 10 from the old XP laptop.
However, I am a bit puzzled with the step #3 and I thought I ask first before doing anything.
In the old XP laptop I have all the pictures in the D:\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures -directory. In that directory I have different kind of sub-folders for my pictures.
In the new Win 7 laptop I should have those in D:\userdata\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures -directory.
As you can see there is a slight difference in those directory-paths. Due to that I assume I cannot use "Original Location" as a restore method. However, I want to keep those sub-folders which I have under My Pictures, so I cannot use "New Location" either. But if I use "New Location with the Restore Original Folder Structure" I guess I wll have something like D:\userdata\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures\<my username>\My Documents\My Pictures or...?
So, just asking what is the proper way to proceed if I want to have same folder structure under My Pictures - folder, but use Windows 7 default path for My Pictures?

I guess it is always good to ask, since immediately after posting this question I realized I should use "New Location with the Restore Original Folder Structure" and the new location is just D:\userdata\
Of course, if you have any additional comments/instructions I should take into account, just let me know.

Problem printing from old XP machine using new Windows 8.1 machine

Hi....I have a new HP Envy laptop with Windows 8.1. It is hard-wired to my Verizon
FIOS router box and there is also a printer connected to the Envy laptop. I also
have an old XP box in another room that connects wirelessly to the same Verizon
router.
Before I got the new Envy laptop, I had two XP boxes "networked" together
and they could share some documents and I could also print documents from either
machine but I cannot get the XP box to network with the Envy laptop or even print
something from the XP box.
Can XP boxes no longer network with Windows 8.1 boxes? Is there any way to at
least get the XP box to share the printer that is connected to the Envy laptop?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
This is probably better answered on the PC forum but make sure that printer sharing is enabled on the 8.1 pc. Go to PC settings>network> enable device and printer sharing

No Sound from Pavilion g4-1310au Internal Speakers (Windows XP)

Hello everyone,
-I have a problem with an HP Pavilion g4-1310au (D9H87PA#UUF) regarding its speakers. The laptop's internal microphone & speakers not working even after installing the correct driver on Windows XP Professional SP3. External headphone plugged into the audio jack works fine.
-The exact hardware ID is HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7605&SUBSYS_103C3564 (92HD81B1X). I already tried SP52720.exe (5.10.6324.0), SP53281.exe (5.10.6330.0), SP55082.exe (5.10.6341.0), SP59154.exe (5.10.6425.0), up until the latest SP62037.exe (5.10.6469.0), but none works.
-The laptop's owner insists on Windows XP as he has program(s) that won't run 100% correct on Windows 7 (or Vista/8).
-Is there any generic XP driver for HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_111D&DEV_7605? I'm asking this as on Windows 7, even default Windows driver (generic "High Definition Audio") works fine.
-BTW, according to stahd.ini, the configuration file for this specific model is 92XXM11-4.INI; is there anything in there I could edit/modify to make it works?
-Every help is really appreciated, thank you very much.
Regards,
-Musafir_86.

BUMP! Anyone? Please...
