Pavillion 500-467C Sound Problem

Two months ago I bought a Pavillion 500-467C from COSTCO. My family and I have had 20 -25 computers in the last 20yrs.This one, by far, has the words sound quality I have ever heard coming out of any computer. I would like to bypass the built-in sound and add a sound card. Is there an open slot for a new sound card and what's involved in disabling the existing sound. if the comuter will accept an add on sound card ... do you have any sound card suggestions? Thanks in advance.Lwgiering

Hi
You have a couple of options as I see it.
Go to device manager and uninstall the driver and restart and unit will install the driver automatically.
Try doing System restore to the date when the unit was working fine.
Try to update the driver from hp.com website for Sound & Bios.
Last step is to run a recovery on the unit before these please back up your data.
If still does not work speaker on the unit have gone bad needs to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the speaker replaced.
Let us know how it goes!

Pavillion dv7-1130ea sound problem

Every time I use my computer for prolonged time periods (up to 8 hours) the sound becomes warbled and distorted. I'm pretty sure it's the output from the sound device since all headphones and external speakers I plug in seem to have the same distortion. The problem persists and gets worse until I restart, in which case it returns to normal until another 8 hours pass. The problem first appeared when I played Mass Effect 2 for 18 hours straight (believe it or not). Is there any way to stop the sound from doing this crap? I never had this problem before.

Hi,
Can you post back with the following.
1. The full Model No. and Product No. of your dv7 series notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.
2. The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).

HP Pavillion 500 PC series (model no : 500-119ea) - no sound

My PC is running on Windows 8 and I have bought it recently. My PC is a HP Pavillion 500 PC series (model no : 500-119ea). I have no sound whatsoever coming from my computer. The speaker icon at the bottom of my desktop is not on mute. I seem to have an IDT high definition audio CODEC on my hardware and sound settings. In the device manager, this is enabled. However when I test this, no sound is coming. Do I need a HDMI cable connecting my CPU and monitor. Both are HP.
Please let me know how I can get this fixed?

Your HP Pavilion 500-119ea Desktop Computer doesn't have internal speaker and therefore must be connected to external speakers to produce sound. This model supports;
2 - Optical S/PDIF-out 12 - Audio: Line Out port (lime)
Additionally, ports 8, 9, an 10 can be used for multi-channel audio setups. Also provide the model number of your monitor, so we can determine if it has speakers and what connections are needed, if any.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Sound problem in HP Pavillion dv9810us Notebook PC

Hi :
For last more than 8 months I am having this problem. First problem started with skype call. My laptop lost its speaker and showed a red X mark next to sound icon. I couldn't find any thing to fix the problem, so I did system recovery to factory setting. After that my computer downloaded windows update and security updates for vista. It upgraded my vista service pack 1 to service pack 2. In middle of this downloading stage several times I lost sound and then again got back it and again lost. I couldn't find any good solution. It is so frustrating that I can't view any videos in internet explorer which is upgraded to 9 now . I tried to watch videos in FIREFOX or Google Chrome. But no sound after few minutes watching. Every time I lost sound I tried to fix with microsft system restore or sound hardware restallation or total system recovery to factory setting. Nothing solve my problem permanantly. I contact with Microsfot vista forum, but no solutions actually fix my audio problem. At this moment my sound icon has red X mark .
This morning when I started my laptop it was ok with sound, I watched one news on Yahoo. But after that the same sound problem. In the mean time my computer downloaded vista updates automatically and installed it. When computer restarted my sound icon got red X mark. I don't understand why with some windows updates take my sound off. If I don't want to install those updates, still the sound went off when I watch videos on yahoo or Youtube. It says Yahoo is not responding, sometimes it says internet explorer is not responding. I followed all kind of solution that I got from microsft vista forum but nothing worked out. I don't know how I can fix this problem.
This question was solved.

Quick and easy fix is to buy a cheap USB sound card (it resembles a flash drive). Just do a google search and you should find one for $2 to $3.
I had the same problem where my sound disappeared and would intermittently work when I rebooted until finally it quit and rebooting wouldn't help. It seemed to have happened after a windows update AND after having errors with the QuickTouch On Screen Display. Upon research, I discovered many people had the exact same problem with this model.
I used Restore Manager to restore the drivers for the QTOSD and for the sound card and although I stopped getting errors for the QTOSD, it did not fix the sound. My quick and easy resolution to my sound problem was to purchase a USB sound card online for $2.49 at Overstock dot com. I also bought one from a local computer store, MicroCenter, that I liked better (because it had a long cord) for $10. My sound works perfect now; HOWEVER, I just realized tonight that I NO LONGER HAVE A DIAL UP MODEM EITHER. You should check to see if yours is still visible in Device Manager or in your dial up connections if you have one. I suspect the problems I had also killed my modem beyond detection because it's also a Conexant HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP (the sound card driver is also Conexant HD). The Restore Manager won't reinstall the drivers because it doesn't see the device. It's too expensive to repair the motherboard and I don't have to have the dial up modem so for now I will just enjoy sound and my laptop for as long as it continues to live.
Again, just buy a cheap USB sound card (it looks similar to a flash drive) for a quick and easy fix. I hope this helps. Good luck. I hope you don't have other issues resulting from this as I did..

HDMI & Pavillion 500-242ea

I have just bought a pavillion 500-242ea with an amd radeon hd7560d graphics . There is an hdmi port which I have connected to my tv but the tv says there is no signal. I have no trouble connecting a differnt desktop and my laptop to the tv. Could anyone say why this desktop will not connect to the tv please?

Hi Erico,
I apologise - I did read your email but have obviously misunderstood. I have just bought this computer. I made it clear at the store that I wanted to plug it into the TV so that I can stream video to the tv. They assured me that I could using the hdmi connector. That part is true. They did not include the fact that you could not use integrated video and the video card at the same time. Perhaps you did not ask the right question.
It is not clear to me what you mean by saying that the graphics on the motherboard is disabled if there is a graphics card. You said: An installed video card disables the motherboard's onboard video ports. The ports do not seem to be disabled as my monitor, which is plugged into one of those ports, is working. What I stated is a direct quote from the specifications.
Are you saying that the mere fact of having the video card in the computer should mean that the vga output that is coming from the motherboard is disabled - that does not appear to be happening. The are to portson the graphics card, hdmi and dvi. Neither og them output at all. The only port which works is the vga one on the motherboard. That would indicate either a bad PCIe-x16 slot, a failed video card or a bad motherboard. You need to contact HP or the store where you purchased it so you can resolve this issue under warranty. I suggest removing the connection to the integrated video and testing the connections at the video card again.
Robin
The following information on the image is from HP's Products specification on the support portal for your desktop PC. Your desktop PC has a different video card if I read what you said correctly. BTW..no apology required. It happens to everyone.

Just had to ask, do you know the difference between hard drive and CD/DVD drive? Don't get angry, read this.
You said " I know the old drive .......... is working as i can put discs in and they load up.When i click on the old drive-F drive- in file explorer 'Please insert disc' message pops up.'
All that implies a CD/DVD drive. You can not put a disc into a hard drive.

What sound problem - no sound on anything, no sound on some apps ?
Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Desperately need some help!! iTunes/Quicktime/iChat/Sound problems....

So, yesterday, I was online, on google video, and when I pressed play on the video, there was no sound, but the video worked...the same was true on every video site i checked. My computer volume was at max, and I even tested the speakers to make sure they were on, and they indeed were.
I thought that was odd...but then the problems really started.....
After that, I clicked on my iChat icon. It bounced once, and did not open. The same thing happened when I clicked on iTunes. 1 bounce, and then nothing. I checked to make sure all of my iTunes mp3 files were on my computer....they indeed are all still here, bit nothing I can do opens iTunes. I've run disc utilities, and disc repair...according to that, everything is peachy-keen on my computer.....but iChat and iTunes STILL will not open, and there is still no sound on anything.
Now, i'm leaning towards the archive and install option....or even just backing up what I want to save, wiping the drive, and starting from scratch.....but i'd really like to not have that happen.
(and, as a side question, if all I want to save are images, several documents, and many mp3 files, would everything be okay if I just backed them up on an external drive, and then loaded them back on to my computer after reinstalling OS X?)
Sorry about the length of this, but I am at my wit's end, and I have no idea what to do.

by third-party, do you mean things I installed that are not manufactured by mac? If that is the case, I have microsoft office, Smart Music, Flip4mac, and Senuti.
I got rid of Flip4Mac to see if that affected my sound problems, but it did not. So, as of now, my problem remains the same...

Sound problems on ProBook 6550b, running on Win 7 Pro x32bit..

I have been getting very similar sound problems on my notebook as posted by most: internal speakers work on original Audio HD drivers, but there is no sound when I connect external speakers or headphones. I up-graded the audio drivers to IDT HD Audio and I get sound coming from external speakers or headphones, but nothing from internal speakers.
I have tried everything from reporting the problem on public forums, live help, and done this or that, but nothing changes. It's so very clear to me that it has to do with audio drivers, which don't seem to work appropriately to cover all aspects of sound output.
I also, often, get this loud, weird, irritating noise and a frozen PC when I am playing music with the notebook, while on the internet. The best I do is not to do both at the same time. I have seen similar problems on blogs, but tangible solutions are NOT offered!!!! Please help...

Audio Switching coudl be due to several reason. if you have tried latest audio drivers and latest Video drivers from hp.com, i suggest you to get audio board replaced for your computer.
Hope it helps.

Any resolution to the sound problem?

I have been having the same sound problem with my Mid 2010 Mac Pro tower ever since I got it. I have been in touch with Apple and have been told that they are familiar with the problem, but that they are still working on a fix. The problem is that I have external speakers, and every time I shut down and then start up again, I have to go to preferences and physically change the sound output to go to the speakers. I have also been tole that the Mac is supposed to sense the external speakers and go directly to them.
Is there anybody else out there with this problem, and has been able to resolve it?
Thank you.

I have a 2010 Mac Pro and use the stereo line out jack in the back of my machine for my speakers with no problem. I don't recall any problems setting it up. But check the Audio MIDI Setup (in your utilities folder) to see if you can set it from there (should be able to). Not sure why the preference wouldn't stick. And I don't believe there is automatic detection of an attached sound output device where the sound preference switches to that (unless maybe the front jack which I never use).

Ive reset the phone and went thru all the settings and everything to try to fix with no luck at all please help me!

Sound Problems on iPad: how to fix, easy [video]

Hi dear iPad user,
Most people will, eventually, have sound problems: the cause can be complex as a 'miss-behaved' app that messes the sound engine or as simple as the iPad being forgotten on Mute/Volume Down.
I used to help family and friends to fix their iPads' sound problems by sending them 'text' instruction steps... lots of times they ended up calling me on the phone...
So I made a video (short: 1m40s):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjBP-Ncj_fE
It shows:
how to unmute the sound (even if the side-switch locks the rotation of the screen)
how to put volume up
how to close all the apps (in the case there is an App messing with the sound system)
how to reboot the iPad (ultimatelly fixes hard cases of messed sound system)
What it won't fix: if you have a hardware problem...
If you do all the steps and you get NO SOUND AT ALL, please, try also checking if you car listen sounds using a HEADPHONE (you know are working conditions). If you can listen to sounds in the headphone but no sound at all in the iPad's built in speaker, well, there might be a hardware problem and you should look for help on an Apple Retail Store or other official technical support available at your location.
Hope this helps!
Everson.

UPDATE: fixing iPad Sound after iOS 7
http://youtu.be/SDf1LDcE95Q
(1min 36sec)
It covers the basics:
checking side-switch / mute / "Control Center"
volume all up
...and also the worst cases:
closing all apps (for rare cases when a single app might render the sound system instable)
rebooting the iPad
So, don't get desparete: try the things in the video.
There are people who reported having forgotten an audio-bluetooth connection activated with a turned-off sound-system or speakers... or forgot Air-Play turned on... so be sure you disengage bluetooth and/or airplay.
On the 'hardware side', dirty dock connector (30 pin) can make the iPad 'think' it is connected to external audio - if so, cleaning it with a dry toothbrush can fix. Also, moisture in the headphones connector can make the iPad switch to 'headphones' even without headphones connected, making it silent: check if you can hear things with headphones plugged in - if so, try gently inserting and removing headphones a few times and check if you get sound back to iPad's speakers alone.
Good luck to everybody! Audio problems are quite common - fontunately they are easy to fix.
