Pavilion A620N with no audio

Hi,
I have an old Pavilion that I'm "restoring".
There's no audio. The audio properties page shows the audio slider grayed out. Device Manager is happy...the thing just won't make a sound.
I've removed the Realtek AC'97 driver and reinstalled the original 2004 driver to no avail. It's XP 32 Home.
Any ideas?

Hi YelloJeep,
Try updating to the latest version of the AC97 driver directly from the Realtek site:

HP Pavilion HPE with beats audio

Two questions:
what makes this machine "beats audio"? I just have regular speakers hooked up? (I didn't buy this computer for me.)
Secondly - the original hard drive was replaced due to failure and a temporary drive installed. what is a recommended setup with one regular drive but fast (1Tb is plenty of room).
Thanks.

Pavilion d6 with Beats Audio and Windows 7: the Sound Stops When Headphones are Removed

The sound works fine, then I put in headphones and usually the sound plays fine, though sometimes it stops working after making a repeating sound for a second. When I remove the headphones the sound will not come out of the speakers and if I plus the headphones back in no sound comes out. The only way I can get the sound to work again is to restart my computer.
If I run the sound troubleshooter it doesnt detect a problem. I tried the fix in this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Beats-audio-pavilion-dv6-No-sound/td-p/2169..., but that didn't work. I would really appreciate a solution, thanks a ton!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When done, shut down the notebook by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 20 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers/HP' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

DP-K

HP P7-1174 Pavilion Home Edition PC audio

Greetings,
I thought I'd already posted this, but apparently not. I'm not familiar with this forum, so I apologize if I had.
I have a new Windows 7, HP P7-1174 Pavilion Home Edition PC. It comes with “Integrated IDT 92HD89E Audio, Built-in High Definition 7.1 channel audio, Audio codec: IDT 92HD89E “.
I’ve had a long relationship with a top-notch audio recorder/editor application, GoldWave (http://www.goldwave.com/). GoldWave has come out with a 64-bit Windows 7 application that has major audio problems on my PC. GoldWave insists the problem is with the IDT driver. I've been working with GoldWave for two weeks, but they can't replicate the problem - they're using a SoundMax driver for their testing because IDT bought SoundMax - no. seriously.
I got a reply from my support-request at IDT, and they said nothing was wrong with their IDT chip or software. They told me they use Adobe Audition audio editor for their testing, but I want to get some input from HP before I try that.
I installed a Spectrum Analyzer on my PC, and it displays the audio just fine and has normal level/volume control.
I don't know what to ask for in the way of support here. I can't believe that HP would come out with some esoteric audio system that won't meet the audio-editor market's requirements. I'm certain my P7-1174 will handle any audio recorder/editor I install on it. I have seen some comments about audio software requiring a sound card (which doesn't use the IDT chip or software), but I shouldn't have to do that just for GoldWave. I'd appreciate any experience, insight, or suggestions as to how I can approach getting a firm confirmation that the P7-1174 will work with any audio recorder/editor installed on it. What would be nice is a specification of what the P7-1174 audio system meets/expects.
Thanks

Getting my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 back to normal after a system recovery.

I did a system recovery for my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and have all of my files on a SanDisk thumb drive. How do I get my laptop's files, folders, shortcuts, applications, etc. all back to the way they were?

Hello marinegf. I understand you've lost your sound after performing a System Restore.
What is the product number for your notebook? There are many versions of the HP 2000 and this will make it easier for me to locate any appropriate software. This document can show you how to identify the notebook by the product number.
Also, it may be helpful to know what issue you encountered which led you to perform a System Restore.
The first suggestion I can offer you is to run Microsoft's Audio Troubleshooter. Here is a link to the utility.
If the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the issue I suggest you next try removing the driver and allowing Windows to perform the reinstall. I assume you're using Windows 7, so these instructions will be for Vista/7.
Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Reboot your computer and allow Windows to perform the reinstallation of the driver.
Verify whether or not you have sound and post the result!
I'll keep an eye out for your reply. I hope you have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

HP Pavilion dv8357ea and skipping audio

I have HP Pavilion dv8357ea Notebook PC with Windows XP Home SP3. (that's dv8000 series)
I have kept my comp up to date and updated even BIOS, but nothing helps. From the very beginning, the audio has been skipping. It has something to do with HDD activity. Streamed audio (f.ex. Spotify) doesn't skip. I know some other HP notebooks have the same problem, but where's the solution?

Problem with beats audio

I have a HP Pavilion - 14-v140 laptop that came with Beats audio. When I playing music I noticed that the volume has decreases and then increases Why?

Does the volume icon show the volume fluctuating? If not, this could be a problem with either the music you're listening to, or your computer's audio system.
I hope this helps!

Can any one help me with CD/Audio disc playback problem on media center m8200n running Windows Vista

I have HP Media Center m8200n Dest top running WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32 BIT edition.It has MEDIA CENTER and MEDIA PLAYER. I experience problems with the computer being able to play CD music discs. What happens is that the Disc will play only for 63 seconds exactly and then stop playing the track, the player will then skip tracks, settle on another one, play it for a few moments and then skip to the end and then play nothing. It gives me an error message that it cannot read the disc. This happens with any and every standard store bought CD new or used. These CDs also do play on my laptop running basically same operating system. This happens whether I trying to Play a disc or burn the disc to the hard drive. The drives work great though as they do play DATA discs all the way through. MP3 discs play fine. It also plays the DVD movies with no problem. Windows media player doesn't make it work, also installed VLC player and REALPLAYER to try some other players and they also don't work for music, only DVDs. They all only produce 63 seconds of music play back from a disc. I've already tried Changing ENHANCEMENTS, UPDATING DRIVERS, UNINSTALLING THE DISC DRIVE and then re-installing back into WINDOWS but none of that helped. SYSTEM came with the integrated REALTEK HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO on the mother boad for multi channel playback options and I've downloaded those updated drivers again but that doesn't do anything. Thinking it might be a hardware drive problem I purchased a new LG BLU-RAY DRIVE/BURNER super multi drive which plays fantastic for any video format from Blu-Ray to regular DVD format with the Power DVD software but the machine is causing even this new drive to have the same problem with the audio and it cuts out playing the audio disc within the same 63 seconds running audio disc. . There seems to be a software glitch and I'm wondering if you can help. Also the sound card seems to work perfectly fine. I downloaded I-Tunes and copied over audio files to the computer via my flash drive and when I play those files from the hard drive, or even the sample windows media files which reside on the hard drive in MY MUSIC, all files play through perfectly, fully, and with great sound. Audio out jacks in back of computer work fine as also does the front head phone jacks upfront. Something in the software when playing a audio disc/file through the dic drives???? I've got hundreds of CD and it's a bummer not beng able to lay them through the system. Does anyone think moving from VISTA PREMIUM to a upgraded version like ULTIMATE or even going up to Windows 7 might solve problem??? What about the 32 bit verses 64 bit editions??? My system should be able to run in the 64 bit frame work also. THANK YOU in advance!!!

Hi,
All dimms work individually? Did you run a bootable memory diagnostic to determine the reliability? Did you run a diagnostic on the hard drive? I believe that your PC came with PC Doctor and that you can create a bootable diagnostic disk. Did you create that disk? Be sure to purchase memory dimms from a manufacturer that will stand behind their product with a guarantee such as Crucial, Corsair or Kingston. Buy directly from the manufacturer and they will stand behind the guarantee. Be sure that all of the dimms are identical. Use CPU-Z to determine that the specifications are indeed identical.
You have some options to consider once you can stablize your PC for updating the BIOS.
Locate a hard drive and use the HP external recovery media to build a VISTA system. -- safest method
Use a VISTA repair disk and at the command prompt try executing the HP BIOS update (Admin). -- safe
Try a bootable BIOS update process as suggested at this site. -- less safe but doable

I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP Pavilion slimline with Vista

I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP Pavilion slimline with Vista, I log in under myself and I am an administrator, When I run the cd to install it shows that I need to be logged in as administrator, any help out there ?

I am not sure why the HP software needs to recognize your airport. That's a function of the OS. Can you be more specific about the problem you are having? Do you have some screen shots? Is the Macbook connected to the router?
If the HP printer can't recognized the router, that's a different story. You'll need to plug the Macbook into the printer (by cable) to config it (that's typical). You may need to assigne the printer its own static IP address (which I would advise doing anyway). That way you can always find it and it will make setting up network printers on other computers a bit easier.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

I down loaded ios7 and now I'm having trouble with my audio on Skype, does anyone knows how to fix it? Please help!

WWith the new ios7, I became frustrated in using my iPad3..I'm using Skype as my main communications with my love ones back home,now it seems that ios7 doesn't help me a lot for I'm having trouble with my audio communication coz my family can't hear anything from me.. My skype doesn't have any options or settings that I can check with to see if I can fix it...I need help...please if any of u knows how to fix it..I would greatly appreciate it...

You can try removing app then reinstalling. If that doesn't work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
