NO SOUND Lenovo IdeaCentre K Series

Hi,
I've just bought a Lenovo IdeaCentre and although the sound card indicates its working properly, I get no sound from the PC.  Am I just stupid - do I need actual speakers as well?  I've tried listening through earphones, but there's STILL no sound and all of the volume buttons are turned up. PLEASE can someone help me or tell me what to do?  I would've thought the chap who sold me the PC would've mentioned that I needed separate speakers, if this is the case.
Thanks!

hi mandy welcome to the forums
try this procedure may be you can confirm whethger your system indeed has no sound or not
got to run
type "dxdiag.exe"
let it check for all sound and video drivers in your system
in the music tab click the "test diect music" you must be able to hear some music if you dont hear any you have got a problem
try re-installing your audio drivers and restart the system
Cheers and regards,

  • Error code 1962: on Lenovo ideacentre b-series--​-NEED HELP---

    I recently purchased, (when I mean recently it  is 1 1/2 month ago) and I get frustrated b/c of this error (1962). I just don't understand why brand new comp. is doing this.  When I purchased the desktop it was pre-loaded with OS Windows7 and I was told by lenovo sales rep. if I wanted to upgrade to Windows8 I needed to download it from the site.  Since I upgraded to Windows8, it was completed without a problem, or without any issue that I can see that would stop the process, I have seen this error twice.  
    I had to unplug it and it went away when I restarted, can you help me with this error?  
    Do I need to re-install Windows8 if I want to keep using it?
     I need the desktop for school work on daily basis.  I'm willing to return the desktop and purchase some other brand if this can't be taken care of.    Thanks, your assistance in resolving this matter is appreciated.
    Solved!

  • Lenovo Ideacentre Q150 Multi-Monitor ?

    hello,
    does anybody know if the Lenovo Ideacentre Q150 is able to manage 2 Monitors (first via VGA and second via HDMI)?
    Grafikchip ION (GeForce 9400M)
    Speicher (vorhanden) 512 MB
    Anschlüsse HDMI, VGA
    thanks

    hey sysonic,
    i believe it is possible as there is a HDMI output for it.

    You'd need to tell us what kind of film and cameras you have. I think you'll need to buy some equipment to do that.
    An alternative is to send your film to a place like Integrated Imaging and they could transfer it to DVD or another suitable format for iMovie.

  • How to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000

    how to turn off camera sound lenovo s6000?
    thank you

    well , you're right, but the law argues that a digital camera looks like a digital camera so it's easier to spot by the person being photographed. also, a digital camera has no other function but to take pictures, so one can't assume it's being used for any othe purpose. on the othe hand, a phone can't be identified as a camera right away. so it's easier to take pictures of unwilling subjects.
    Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

  • Ubuntu 14.04 install on Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 replacing Windows 8.1

    I just purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 and would like to replace Windows 8.1 with Ubuntu 14.04. As this is a secure boot machine, is there anything I need to watch out for besides disabling secure boot? I seem to remember that there is a boot partition that I need to leave alone (?) Is there a Lenovo tool installed that can save a copy of the drive as an image? I have already saved a copy of the system to a USB stick. There seem to be some issues in connection with installing Ubuntu 14.04 (booting, wifi, bluetooth) is there an overview of the install issues for the Q190 somewhere?
    Any advice appreciated.

    If you are looking to entirely replace Windows on your drive, you can overwrite the entire drive, boot partition and all...
    BUT...
    Since you seem to want to preserve your Windows installation, you can make your life a lot easier in the long-run by simply getting another hard disk drive and swapping it out for the one which you currently have installed. (If I understand correctly, the Q190 only supports one HDD at a time)
    Then you can install Ubuntu on the empty drive and not have to worry about writing a massive .iso,
    testing a massive .iso and at some point in the future trying to re-install a massive .iso.
    Here's a link to the user manual:
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/desktop_pub/lenovo_ic_q190_ug_v1.0_win8_en_r_online_20130320.pdf
    On page 31 it explains the BIOS options. Doing a UEFI Linux install is still quite unintuitive, though there are a few threads and video tutorials out there. If you're planning on using Linux, right now I would suggest good old legacy style.
    An overview of Ubuntu install issues is a pretty tall order for any machine. External wifi and bluetooth dongles are generally a problem, though the problems are often remedied after finishing all of the recommended updates.
    I could add more advice, but it will help if I know more about what you want from your machine.

  • PS3 (playstation3) does not connect to Lenovo Ideacentre D400 Windows Home Server

    I just got the Lenovo Ideacentre D400 Windows Home Server this week. After getting it setup, my computer connected to it fine and I transferred my files over (photos, music, videos). 
    It was time to test out the media sharing. Alas try as I might I was not able to get the PS3 (Playstation 3) to connect or even find the D400. Any thoughts ?
    I searched the net and forums where i can usually find answers but found no mention of this device which I guess is not suprising since it is new. Let me know if anyone else has this and if they have any issues

  • EVGA Geforce GTX 960 Graphics Card won't boot on my Lenovo Ideacentre K410

    PC: Lenovo Ideacentre K410
           I bought it in 2012
    New Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 960
    New Power Supply: Corsair CX 430
    Issue:
    I plugged in my graphics card to my new power supply.
    I get the Lenovo splash screen, then 3 beeps, then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left.
    If I disconnect the graphics card, and just use the VGA connection, everything works fine.
    How do I get my new graphics card to work on this PC?

    hi mwvg79,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    If you boot in to BIOS with F1 while powering ON the computerCheck if you system supports UEFI.
      UEFI/ BIOS should have a Uefi option under Boot tab or start up tab Try to set those to Legacy
    If non then this is a legacy BIOS already.
    also im thinking about Compatibility issues with this card, since this is not listed under the Maintenance Manual as replacement Parts.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad X series for pro wildlife photography?

    A Lenovo Thinkpad x series enquiry please!
    As a professional wildlife photographer I'm after a tough notebook that MUST  have the following:
    A matt screen-a must for viewing photos outdoors
    HDMI- imperative so I can hook it up to my HD monitor back at base 
    large capacity battery - minumum 6-7 hours in the field
    potent processor
    as much RAM as possible
    powerful graphics card
    light weight 
    Will the X1 or X220 have these? I thought they had glossy screens??
    Much appreciated folks...
    Moderator edit: Added detail to subject.

    Nothing in the X Series has a truely "powerful" graphics card. The X1 and X220 both use the Intel HD 3000 graphics integrated into the processor, not a separate graphics GPU. What exactly are your needs? You mention photography but not video. It should work fine for still photography but not necessarily for video processing.
    Besides that point, the X220 looks like it can meet your other needs if you configure your purchase to match (8 GB RAM, external battery pack, DisplayPort to HDMI cable). The X220 has a matte screen (X1 has a glossy screen).

  • How to Play FM Radio On Ideacentre Q Series

    Hi Guys,
    It would be really nice of you if you can give me a step by step procedure to set FM radio to my Lenovoe centre Q Series.
    Hope to hear from Lenovo forum.
    Thanks,

    Lostlove31,
    I found a bit of info regarding FM setup.If you have a TV tuner provided with your system,
    you must set the TV tuner input signal to analog. I guess you may use windows media center to use FM stations.however keep some points to note.
    In the following two situations, you must re-save a channel list:
    a. When you change your TV signal from digital to analog, your saved channel
    list for digital TV is deleted. When you want to watch digital TV again, you
    must create and save a new channel list.
    b. When you change your TV signal from analog to digital, your saved channel
    list for analog TV is deleted. When you want to watch analog TV again, you
    must create and save a new channel.
    • Before you can listen to FM, you must set the TV tuner input signal to analog.
    • Before you can watch teletext programming, you must set the TV tuner input
    signal to analog
    For accessing radio through media center:
    1.On the start screen, scroll to Music, click radio, and then click FM Radio.
    2.To let Windows Media Center find a radio station, under Seek or Tune, click - or + to find available stations. If you know the frequency of the station, enter the numbers using the numeric keypad on the remote control or on the keyboard
    3.Use the on-screen transport controls in the bottom right of the screen to control playback, including changing channels, adjusting volume, and pausing or stopping playback.
    To edit an existing radiostation:
    On the start screen, scroll to Music, click radio, click presets, and then click the preset you want to edit.
    To edit the frequency of the preset, under Tune, click the - or + button and then click Save as Preset.
    To edit the name of the preset, click Edit Preset. On the Edit Preset screen, enter your changes, and then click Save.
    To create FM radio station presets
    On the start screen, scroll to Music, click radio, and then click FM Radio.
    Under Seek or Tune, click - or + to find a radio station you want.
    Once you find a station you like, click Save as Preset.
    Enter the name of the station, and then click Save.
    Hope this info helps you

  • Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B Dual Monitor Possible?

    I was wondering if there was a way to have a dual monitor setup with the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B. We have the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B 7747 and this is for an office application so no gaming. The MTM is 77471CU. I cant seem to figure out what type of card is in there. Will I need to install a new graphics card? If so, what card would work?
