No sound HP Pavillion Entertainment PC Laptop Vista 64 bit

I can't unmute it!  My laptop has a mute button and volume control on the top edge of the key board just under the monitor.  I have updated the audio driver.  Twice!  But I can't unmute the sound.  I can access the settings.  When the dialog box first comes up it shows three functions muted.  I can play with the settings and mouse click on the mute buttons in the dialog box and slide the volume control bars up.  But it has no actual effect.  When I look at other settings tabs the sliders and buttons return to muted settings.  

This often occurs when you plug in an HDMI device, on my machine.  Try manually setting the playback device:
Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar.
Select Playback Devices.
Right-click the audio device you want (i.e. Speakers)
Select Set as default device.
If this does not work, try logging in with an account that has administrative access.  I discovered the wireless network can not be enabled by a non-administrative account, when it is disabled while logged in as an administrator.  You have to go back to the admin account, enable wireless, and then log back to the other account.
Avoid updating your driver, unless the device no longer functions.

  • Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

    Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
    Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
    Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
    RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
    Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
    TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
    OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
    ?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
    I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
    I'd appreciate your help,
    Daniel

    A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
    Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

  • Loss of Sound HP Pavillion Entertainment Laptop DV6820ea

    Hi,
    Operating System:  Windows Vista
    Sound Driver :         Conextant High Definition Smart Audio 221 (SPDIF INTERFACE)
    Other Programmes: I Tunes
    Problem :     Sudden loss of sound, I have tried the obvious such as is the touch sensitive mute switched off and the volumes switched on . I did briefly have my i-touch connected via USB but don't remember doing anything other than connecting and disconnecting the USB cable. Then there was no sound. I have also tried via control panel testing the devices and the speaker test works correctly but other than this I am unable to get any sound from the laptop. I did find, although I can't remember where, next to a  I-tunes file name  yellow triangles but was unabe to delete. This will probably be a very obvious and simple solution! but I would greatly appreciate any help!    many thanks

  • I tunes 10.5 will not install on my laptop /vista 32 bit -keeps stalling with 1% to go , then freezes, any suggestions??

    Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. Well you must have been doing it right, since all of your Flash files for IE and FF are correct.
    The SWF plugin for FF and the SWO for IE are also correct.
    You shouldn't be having any problems with Flash Player.
    What you can try is to turn off the hardware acceleration feature. Go to any video, like youtube and right click on the video and click on Settings. Display Settings is where you will UN check hardware acceleration.
    See if that helps. Let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Sound problems with vista 32 bit on xfi xtremegamer

    hi im havin sound issues with my sound blaster xfi fatality xtremegamer on vista 32 bit. the sound will sound like a skippin cd or sound like it is stuterin for a few seconds than it will play fine than do it again later on. i was wounderin if its a driver issue with vista or my sound card has broke? i had it runnin on xp and had no problems. can anyone help me please as my card is only abot 8 months old so if it could be faltiy i am still covered by warrinty.

    I don't know if it's the driver that's causing a problem or if it's one of your components that's causing a problem. All I know is that the X-Fi is working great on my system, both in XP Pro and Vista Business. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I installed the driver first and then the software from the leaked Vista Suite that I downloaded from a link in a post on this forum. Never had a problem with any of the previous drivers either, but on the other hand this system was built in november/december last year, so the hardware was fairly new at the time.

  • No audio / No sound following Vista SP2 install on HP DV4 (HP Pavillion Entertainment PC)

    Solution: I struggled with this problem (no audio) for 4 days. After installing Vista SP2, all sound stopped coming from my HP DV4 laptop. (HP Pavillion Entertainment PC).  I checked all settings, unloaded and reloaded SP2, reloaded all sound drivers (IDT) and tried the Microsoft "Fix It"... 50131. Nothing worked. Very frustrating. I happen to notice that the driver being loaded by the MS program was IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver 6.10.6209.0. I started to suspect this most recent driver was either loaded with SP2 or was incompatible with it. I noticed the HP Support web-site had a list of drivers specific to my machine. The sound driver was listed as IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver 6.10.6087.0, which appears to be an older version. I downloaded this driver, applied it, restarted the machine and voila!
    You can find the codec here:

  • Pavillion Entertainment PC DV6 - sound suddenly not working

    Hello,
    My computer just installed an automatic update from Windows and now my sound is not working at all.
    I have Vista 32 bit operating system and my notebook is a DV6-1107AX.
    I have already unstalled and reinstalled the IDT driver and it's still not working.
    Help please - I desperately want my audio back!
    Thanks

    Hi Sades,
    I understand your audio does not work correctly after a Microsoft update. Here is a document on undoing the update. You can restore it to a previous time when it was working correctly.

  • Can I install win 8 64 bit OS on dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

    I just purchased the HP Pavilliom 500 destop and would like to upgrade my laptop with desktop OS.
    Can I install my hp Pavilion 500 PC win 8 64 bit OS on my hp pavillion dv6936 laptop win vista 64 bit OS

    Hi Ibdman,
    You cannot use the Pavilion 500 desktop recovery disks to upgrade the operating system on your HP laptop.
    You would have to purchase either: a Win 8 retail upgrade or full install disc to change the operating system on your laptop.
    If you are considering upgrading your laptop you should consider Win 7 64 bit instead of Win 8.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1444 running Vista 64 bit. I have lost all sound.

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1444 running Windows Vista 64 bit. I have lost all sound. There's a red x next to the speakeer icon on the bottom right of the screen. I have reloaded drivers, checked Device Manager, tested sounds, HP Support Assistant says I have the latest BIOS installed. I tried a one prong earphone in the two prong headset and got no sound. The mute button and the volume slider don't work either. 
    Please help me if you can.

  • Can't find sound card after clean reinstall from scratch to vista 32 bit from 64

    Greetings Everyone,
    Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me with this frustrating problem.  
    I did a clean reinstall from scratch to move to vista 32 bit from vista 64.   None of my goodies (mp3 player, phone.. all sadly antiquated) played on the 64 version.  That's why I nuked it.
    The reinstall worked like a charm, except now I can't get anything from the external jacks, which worked fine before the reinstall.  I've used every aspect of the device manager, and checked for downloads on each.  When I go to sound devices, it lists the soundcard as "high definition audio device," and says that the software has been updated.   
    The internal speakers are the delightful Altec Lansings.. and they work fine.  In fact, when I plug something into the headphone jacks, they continue working.
    Therefore, I'm trying to find the name of the sound card installed on my build, and then find the driver for it.  
    Here's all the specs from the back if you need them:
    Product: hp pavillion dv 9843cl refurbished
    I'm a music lover, and I love this computer, and I'll be sooooo happy if I can get this fixed.   I'm facing music withdrawals, and getting weaker by the day.  
    Could anyone please offer me advice?
    If there's any other information you need to know, please let me know. 
    Thanks so much!

  • HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx laptop - No audio from built in speakers of recently purchased laptop

    I purchased my laptop (HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx laptop) from best buy on Saturday, May 9th, less then a week ago. Yesterday the audio/sound stopped working completely - from the built-in speakers.  I can hear ALL sound just fine from headphones.  Only the internal speakers aren't funcioning.  I did online troubleshooting, and also chatted with a technician, and I still have the same problem.  I ran all updates, the status on the sound driver says it is funcioning properly.  Even the little fluctuating green bars (on the volume control) SHOW that sound is coming out, but still unless I have headphones in, no sound comes out.  The HP monitering software DID pop up and say there were critical errors and the computer needed to be updated yesterday, but I don't know if that was related because once I did all the updates, the audio still had the same problem.  Please help me out.
    Thanks,
    Kalli

    If it is less then a week, just return it to bestbuy. You may have a loose connection in speaker jack.
    Have you try to use recovery DVD? try to install it to the factory setting.
    If it does not work, definitely you have a hardware problem.

  • Hp Pavillion Entertainment PC Power

    Hello,  I have been holding onto my Hp Pavillion Entertainment PC for several years now. I had hoped I would figure out what to do with it. I bought 4 Hp laptops, the Entertainment was my own then I bought 3 Hp G60-127NR Notebooks for my oldest 3 children. We have had nothing but trouble out of all of them. First, Mine,
       the power started going slowly, the battery just seemed to die quicker and quicker. I had only had it for maybe 5 months when this started.   I contacted help through Hp, they told me to replace the battery, so I did. about 1 month later, my laptop was plugged in, turned on. I left it for about 20 minutes. I walked back into the room just as it powered off. I tried to turn it back on, nothing. I called HP, they said my warranty expired so they could not help me. This was my first computer, ever in my life. I have 6 children so I do not get to buy myself things often.
    So I have been without a computer for the last several years until now, I bought a used HP from a pawn shop. 
    Anyway, one of my childrens teachers told me to contact HP becuase they are really good about taking care of their customers. I told her what happened with my experience and she said try again. So here I am.
         I really did like my HP.  I want to know if HP honors anyone that has purchased as many of their products as I have? My eldest son is having so much trouble with his, it overheats severely and he actually burnt his hand on his computer. My eldest daughter is frustrated because she is in college and her power does not last at all, she has lost many of her assignments because of this and it has affected her grades. She now refuses to even use it.  I am considering buying her another laptop but I am just at a loss. I do not want to invest another dime into any at all.  I have gotten no help from hP whatso ever. This is so discouraging. I cannot afford to buy myself another. Especially since I know have to find a way to purchase 6 more laptops of some sort for all of my children for their scholing.
    Has anyone had any good experiences with HP?  What should I do?

  • 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.
