No sound in windows XP-- not even volume icon in system tray bar

Hi,
I have a lenovo G530 series laptop. I had Vista originally. I formatted my laptop and changed to XP.
But now I am facing certain audio problems after installing windows xp.
I tried installing the conexant audio drivers and even the high definition drivers 4-5 times but still there is no sound. I made a check with the device manager and everything but still there is no icon in tray bar.
whenever i tried installing the software I got the following error : \
Driver Installation Failed : Could not find the MEDIA device for the driver..
I am really fed up by this problem..
Pls can anybody help me with this issue.. Thank you in advance..
thanks
Ankit

Hi
You need to install firstly the audio patches for windows xp
AUDIO Patch 1: KB835221
AUDIO Patch 2: KB888111
These are Microsoft patches and are essential for the sound card.
After the hotfixes were installed, install the sound driver again
Cheers

No sound. Mute is not checked, volume all the way up on iTunes and on status bar. What am I doing wrong or missing? I restarted last night and it worked before that but not since, any one have any ideas?

Thanks, Rob

First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

MDT deployment "windows could not configure one or more system components"

Hi,
I have successfully deployed a standard Windows 7 image using a combination of WDS and MDT.
Now I want to patch the image with the latest security updates and hotfixes. Using DISM command line I mounted the image, added 125 packages and unmounted the image. Then I put this custom image into MDT and deployed using the same task sequence as the standard
image above.
The deployment nearly finished and the computer reboots. I then get a screen showing an animated progress bar and 'Setup is applying system settings'. Then a pop-up error...
"Windows could not configure one or more system components. To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation".
I have tried with and without injecting drivers into the task sequence (just to rule that out).
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? A standard image deploys fine. The same image with patches applied fails.
Thanks
Mike.

Hi,
I currently encounter the same issue. I found this link: http://iboyd.net/index.php/2013/01/04/applying-kb2506143-to-an-offline-windows-7-sp1-wim-windows-setup-fail/
At the moment I'm rebuilding my install.wim without the mentioned update, so I'm not able to tell if this resolves my issue, but good chance it will.
If you haven't figured it out yourself at this time, most likely an update will cause these troubles.
Hope this helps...

PS Elements 10 suddenly incompatible with Windows 7. Cannot open. Windows 7 not even an option on the incompatibility trouble shooter.

Adobe tech people. How do i get the PS version I have been happily using to open again Suddenly it will not open and W7 is not even listed as an OS when I run the compatability trouble shooter. Is this Adobe's way of making me another version? VERY ANGRY.

I had the same problem with my Satellite A505-S6005. I keep everything on external drives/remote backup and ISO my installations because of problems with the CD/DVD on my previous laptop, so I thought turning this off would be handy. Unfortunately, it also turned off virtual drives. Unlike you, I had an error code 52.
The upper/lower filters is what finally worked for me, but I had uninstalled the Eco Utility just prior to that, thinking that is where the power setting was initiated. I'd had an icon in my tray indicating that ODD power was off but with no option to turn it back on. Removing Eco removed that icon, but still no drive until I did the regedit. Do you have this utility? From what I've seen, the Protege has Easy Guard, which seems similar to Eco. Maybe a conflict exists with that?

Volume missing in system tray, mute buttons not working

hi, i just reformatted and installed the latest drivers for my Creative Soundblaster Digital 5. (dell) card, and at first everything was fine..
Now they Icon for sound is missing from the system tray.. My volume dial and mute button no longer work. and yes i have gone in and selected to have it appear in the tray.. that does nothing.
Also, all other sounds are working except for sounds from web browsers.. and I have all the necessary pluggins installed..
thanks creative... great products...Message Edited by maluut on 0-0-2006 05:07 PM

I have a similar problem with my elite pro card and would also like an answer.
I installed the new drivers and now my volume knob does not work nor can I adjust volume with the remote control. The mute button does work though.
Also why such an annoyance as to need the original disc in order to make the control panel work in the system tray? shouldn't driver updates be complete?
Also...what's up with the max volume white noise during the driver install which made my ears ring and nearly blew out my speaker system?

WR110 and Windows 7 + Im connected to Internet but Icon in system tray shows red X

Hi all,
I just upgraded both my notebook and Desktop, both of which are wireless. The Notebook connected just fine, and the system tray shows connection bars. However my destktop is also connected, but it shows the red x. Not sure what I need to do to stay connected and have Wireless strength bars reappear. When I click the connection it says " The settings saved on this computer do not match the requirements for the network". Also when I click on the red X in the system tray, the connections pop up, and I see the green bars and it says connected, but a few seconds later it goes to the red X, but Im still connected to the internet. I have ATT DSL and they recently bridged the router to the DSL modem using PPPoe, but that was before I upgraded both PCs to 7 and I did not have this issue prior to upgrading.

Quack,
I gave that a try, and changed my SSID. On my notebook, it of course lost the Internet connection, I saw the new wireless network, and typed in the PW and it connected without issue. However the DT which is where I am having the issue, is still doing the same thing. I am connected to Internet as that is where Im typing this email from, but the 5 bars in the lower are still show that X even tho Im connected. It does say the Security types do not
match, so I would go in and change to WPA Personal, TKIP, and type in the password, but still nothing. I have noticed that when I enable and disable my Wireless adapter in the Desktop, 2 icons come back, one for the adapter, and one called. Microsoft Virtual WiFI miniport adapter, which I have disabled, but it does not make any diff if its enabled or not.

Lost my volume icon in the task bar and cant get it back.

On my Vista system, the volume/mute icon on my task bar has disappeared and can only be reloaded temporarily by going to control panel for each off and on.
Can someone please outline what the steps are to restore this icon. It does not go to task bar as other icons do.
Many thanks,
Bob

Hi,
You can control from the speaker icon. To do that:
(a) Right click a space are on Taskbar,
(b) Click Properties,
(c) Click Customize
(d) Select Show icon and Notifications (for Volumes)
(e) Click OK

Firefox always opens a new window when i click the icon on my task bar...this is new and I would like it to say in the same window How?

I have a firefox icon on my task bar. Before this latest install, I would click the icon and Firefox would come up directly. Now it opens another firefox window. I don't want this. How can I change it back?

Click on the spotlight icon in the top right of your screen (looks like a magnifying glass), type
Terminal
and press 'return'.
In the window that opens up, paste or type this exactly into the window
killall Finder; killall Dock
(that's case sensitive) and press 'return'.
You'll notice the Dock disappear for a second or two then return, as do any open Finder windows.
Test using Finder as normal. Same problem?

Why is there not a MobileMe icon in System Preferences on my Dome?

My MacBook Pro laptop has the MobileMe icon in system preferences but the Dome does not. Both hosts contain the latest software. Will this prevent the two hosts from syncing?

You've posted this in the iSync forum - the MobileMe forums are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=116
(iSync has nothing to do with MobileMe syncing, or the MobileMe icon in System Preferences).
You might also want to clarify what you mean by "Dome" - probably means something to you, but nobody else!

"Docked"-Icon in System Tray does not disappear

Hi,
I have the problem that sometimes after undocking my X220 Tablet from 2 different UltraBases, the Undocked System Tray Icon does not disappear.
The laptop was in service (motherboard replaced) already twice (along with related problems as I think), I reset to factory settings but the problems still persist.
Does anyone ever experience this?
Thanks,
divB

Volume icon in the Title Bar of my Treo 800w?!

I don't know completely how to explain this, but here it goes:
I have a Palm Treo 800w for Sprint. Yesterday, I looked at my phone (that I've had for 3-4 months now) and noticed a symbol that I've never seen in Title Bar on the right-hand side. It was an icon for volume, except it provided more(and simpler) options for volume. When you click on it, it showed the volume levels you could choose, but you could also select On, Off, or Vibrate. I went to look at the icons provided in the User Guide, but it wasn't any of them. ALSO, this icon in the Title Bar replaced where my battery icon usually would go.
Anyways, my phone died, and when I turned it back on, it resumed to normal and didn't show the icon anymore. I like that icon, so I looked all around on my phone and read the user guides, but found NOTHING! Please help me if you can!

Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Sometimes after you use the media player (and under other equally unpredictable circumstances) the volume/speaker icon replaces the battery icon. I don't think I've ever clicked it, so I don't know whether it's functions are duplicative of an equally convenient icon.
Since most people are much more concerned about their battery life, every post I have seen here on this was a complaint about the change rather than a request for it.
Anyway, I don't think there is any built-in way for users to change the icons on that bar. There might be third party software or registry edits to do it; that would require more research.

Dv6265us connexant PCI sound card + windows 7 = Not working

So I'm here becuase I can't find a driver on my own. I've scoured the internet for hours, finding very little to help with my issue. So here goes...
I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 (Dv6265us), and ever since I installed window 7, Windows cannot figure out what drivers to install for the PCI sound card. The best I've found so far says this:
"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it"
"Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio"
"If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
Now here's the funky part...everywhere I've found information on my laptop, it says I have a Conexant PCI sound card. If I'm wrong I would love for someone to tell me; better yet, a link to a download to actually be able to use the PCI sound card. Right now the card is under other devices and is listed as "PCI Device".
Now the Link I've provided from the conexant site will tell you this under PC Audio Support - Windows® 7,
"Conexant develops audio solutions that are used in a wide range of products including personal computers. We provide customized audio drivers to our customers, which include major computer manufacturers globally. At the request of these manufacturers, Conexant does not provide end-user support or drivers for PC audio products. If you have an issue with the audio configuration in Windows 7, please contact the manufacturer of your computer.
I tried calling HP support, but they wouldn't even answer my yes or no question... "Do you have audio drivers for my laptop that will allow me to hear sound?" Instead of saying yes or no, I was told that I needed to pay fifty to one-hundred dollars;....fifty dollars for a one time fee of telephone service, or one-hundred for the year. I even went as far as asking..."if you can't fix my problem, do I get a refund?" I was told no...so here I am. I've had problems before with hp...but this is rediculous, and whats worse is from the way things look, Connexant was told NOT to support their own product, or provide drivers for windows 7 by their customer(HP). I realize everyone is hurting for money, but **bleep**, this is a new low...

To answer your question, there are no windows 7 drivers for that model notebook. The notebook was designed for Windows 2000, Windows xp and windows vista.
This is one of the issues with upgrading the OS on a computer before checking the specs of the hardware.
I do understand the frustration but it would be more beneficial to revert back to the original OS that the notebook came with. That is what the HP support desk will have you do to prove functionality of the notebook should you have paid for the Diagnostic Support.
