Problems loading generic Windows sound driver/Envy 14t-1000

Info: HP Envy 14t-1000 CTO, Windows 7 (updated to latest SP).
So, I recently tried updating my video drivers and unfortunately it messed with my audio settings (normally I'd do a system restore, but for whatever reason I forgot to create a restore point before updating...). At this point, I suspect that I accidentally re-installed the IDT High Definition Audio Codec, which leads me to my issue - I've been trying to uninstall Beats audio (and the IDT codec) and use the generic audio driver that comes with Windows, and have followed the instructions listed here:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/REMOVE-BEATS-AUDIO-LOAD-GENERIC-SOUND-DRIVE...
However, no matter what directions I follow, after rebooting, the IDT codec reinstalls (that is, even after unchecking IDT Audio from the list of start-up programs and uninstalling the codec in device manager) instead of the generic Windows sound driver and IDT Audio is back in the list of start-up programs; the result is that I'm still getting the same rubbish sound. Is there a solution to this? I'm assuming that there is in fact a generic audio driver that I can revert to?
Many thanks.

Hi @frran ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook and having issues with the sound. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with uninstalling any software and drivers on your system that were originally installed.
Here is a document that has troubleshooting for the sound. There could be an update for the BIOS. That might be needed.
You could try this fix as it has helped with the Beats Audio.
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Dozens of drivers will not load on brand new HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook PC. Win 7 Ultimate N

I recenty paid for a brand new HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook PC.It had entirely too much bloatware and I have doe fresh install's hundreds of times. The installs went fine but only 4 drivers from the driver page for this product on Win 7 will install. I am without the Wifi, Ethernet, Sound, Display, Smart Card Reader, and about 10 more that I am not sure what they are. I googled the PCI ID's of some and found what should be the driver as in the Wifi is the Broadcom driver from the support page for this product but after the install nothing happens. Then you get the pop up that says there was the program may not have installed correctly. If I point the device directly at the directory for any of these it says driver not found. I have never had such a time installing drivers for a supported OS. It came with Win 7 on it. I am just trying to perform a clean install. I will gladly provide the device ID's for anyone at HP that can give me a driver that will work. The ones on the appropriate page do not. I know I am missing the IDT sound driver, The realtek ethernet driver, I believe the ATI HD Video driver, and the Broadcom Wireless driver for starters but once again all version new and legacy on the drivers page DO NOT install. Help. I am this close to calling HP and returning this thing. I only received it today and would have no qualms about sending it back.

Hi: This is a peer to peer forum. No one on this forum is authorized to respond on behalf of HP to any posts made here. I looked at the support and driver page for the 14t-1000, and that model is 5 years old according to the release dates of drivers listed there. Ar you sure that is the model number? Can you please post the product number for the PC? The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number. You can also post the top line of each hardware ID's for each device needing drivers. I'll see what I can find. The driver directly from Realtek should install the card reader (PCI Device). You want the first driver on the list. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Problem loading page windows - Version 3.6.13 is this a virus?

Problem loading JPEGs from network drive?

Hi,
I'm having a rather frustrating problem with Bridge\Lightroom 2 which I think is due to ACR 4.5, and I'm hoping someone here may be able to offer some advice:
When opening (in bridge) or importing (in Lightroom) a network share containing JPEG images the majority of the previews\thumbnails are corrupted.
This screenshot illustrates the problem in bridge (http://www.amirkamal.com/acrbug.jpg). As you can see the thumbnails are corrupt as is the preview, however the magnifier tool on the preview window shows the /true/ image. The irfanview window, in the lower right corner, shows what the image should look like, demonstrating that the JPEG itself is not corrupt.
If I were to import this directory into Lightroom the same problem is present, although the form of the actual image corruption (or even the number of images corrupted) may be different. It also persists through to the develop module as well, making lightroom completely unusable.
If I disable the 'Prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG and TIFF files' option in Bridge then previews are rendered correctly, which is what leads me to believe that ACR is the problem and not Bridge or Lightroom. This would be an acceptable work around for Bridge, but obviously isn't possible for Lightroom.
Also, if I copy the JPEGS locally and then import\view them the problem does not occur. The seems only to affect JPEGs: TIFF and Raw (Canon 350d .CR2) files do not show this problem.
It almost seems as if ACR is trying to process the JPEGs before they have been completely loaded, and thus ends up rendering garbage.
Has anyone else seen this problem before, or have any idea how to fix it?
My system specs are below incase they offer any clues,
thanks

Connected over a 100mbps network

I have never worked on image files which are located remotely in a network ... but I noticed a higher probability of problems occurring when working with Bridge on external hard disk drives connected via USB 2.0. So I acquired the habit of copying the folder of images I plan to work on to an internal hard disk drive and do the work there. When I'm done then I'll copy the whole folder (or at least the modified files therein) back to where it came from.

Problems loading installing windows 10

When I tried to download Windows 10 I got a message that Intel graphics accelerator wasn't compatible and to contact manufacturer.

Hi there
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that when you tried to download Windows 10, you got a messagethat the graphics were not compatible. I would suggest that you check periodically. The operating system was just released, and as most expected, there are driver issues for many devices. It will take time to resolve. This has happened with pretty much ever new operating system release.

Windows Vista Driver for Sound Blaster 5.1 P

I want driver for Windows Vista 32 Bit edition for Sound Blaster 5. PCI sound card. I have loaded the Windows XP driver but as a result of that it is playing audio in 2 speaker stereo mode, but i have creative 5. speaker system. As a result of that sound is coming almost only from the front two speakers. Creative MIXER is also not working. Please suggest a solution.

Hi daniel_k , the driver works fine but there's a little problem : when i reboot , the startup process stops at about 50 percent (stops responding)?, when i launched the startup repair utility which takes about 0 mins to complete , then the pc boots normally?. When i look in device manager , it says my sound card?has no driver installed?but when reinstalling your driver it's ok again ! The main problem is when i restart ! Please note that i reinstalled windows 7 and performed a clean install of the driver as you requested before this problem arises . Please?can you fix the driver or give another one . Thanks .

K7T Turbo2 Sound Driver Problem

I just installed a K7T Turbo2 motherboard for my #2 system and am having a problem installing the VIA sound driver. The system freezes up before it finishes the installation and once I reboot the Device Manager says that since Windows stopped responding when trying to start the device, it wouldn't attempt to start it again.
I've tried new drivers (both sound and chipset), tried reinstalling the drivers a few times, made sure the sound card was active in the BIOS, and even removed a couple of extra spacers from under the mobo so I just have them on the four corners. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I think during the course of trying to get it to work, it requested the gm16.dls file. However, I think I finally got it installed from the Windows disk. Could this still be causing the problem?
Also, I tried out my SB Live! card from my primary system - the drivers installed and the card worked fine. I would prefer not to have to buy a seperate sound card, if I can get the on-board one working.
Thanks again,

HP Laserjet 276n Windows 98 driver

I am searching for a generic windows 98 driver for the laserjet 200!
We need it for printing from a car diagnostic station.
Which driver coul I use to solve my problem?
thanks in advance

Hi @epertino ,
I see by your post that you need a driver for Windows 98. I will try and help you.
I checked the printer's specifications and Windows 98 isn't a support operating system for this model.
Supported Windows operating systems: Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.
Printer Specifications for HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276n and M276nw.
I also checked for a Universal Print Driver and unfortunately there isn't one listed for Windows 98 either.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Can no longer find Audition 3.0 Windows Sound

I have been using Audition 3.0 for quite some time. I use ASIO4all v2 audio driver most of the time and on occasion when I need to have more than one stream of audio at the same time recording something playing from the web) I switch to the Audition 3.0 Windows sound driver for direct sound. For some reason it (Audition 3.0 Windows sound) dissapeared from the driver selection box under audio hardware setup. According to device manager the sound card drivers are all installed and working properly. If I uninstall the ASIO driver and try to restart Audition, it says that it cannot find an audio device. When Audition is closed my system is running the realtek sound card driver and not the ASIO4all v2. For some reason it appears that audition cannot see the stock driver. Everything else on my system seems to be running normally.
Any advice on what to do would be appreciated as I have a lot of custom presets, so I would not like to uninstall and reinstall unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks!

If you go to the uninstaller, you'll find that there's a 'repair' option that does pretty much what it says on the tin. If you are running the 3.0.1 patch, you may have to re-run it afterwards - probably best to do this anyway. If you haven't installed the patch, then you should!

REMOVE BEATS AUDIO, LOAD GENERIC SOUND DRIVE, MAINTAIN OR REINSTALL STEREO MIX, HP ENVY, 8.1

HP Envy Touchscreen 15-k073ca Notebook (new) with Windows 8.1, Beats Audio and stereo mix Instructions as detailed as possible would be appreciated to totally remove Beats Audio from the notebook and load Windows generic sound drive. I would also like instructions on how to enable the stereo mix option which is included in the new notebook I do not know if totally removing Beats Audio also removes or adversely affects the stereo mix, if so, detailed instructions on how to repair or reinstall the stereo mix would also be appreciatedIf this becomes necessay, I would have to check with HP to see if the warranty is affected. To receive the best results with Audacity, stereo mix is required and Beats Audio has to be completely removed from the notebook. Beats Audio produces bad results when using Audacity Any response on all or part of this post would be appreciated

Hello ,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you wish to remove Beats Audio from your notebook and use the generic Windows drivers. Follow these steps:Press Windows + R.Type msconfig and click OK.Click the Start up tab.Uncheck IDT PC Audio.Click Apply.Reboot.Press Windows + R.Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.Expand Sound, Video and Game Controllers.Right click IDT device and click UninstallCheck the box to remove the driver.Reboot.This should disable the Beats Audio allowing you to uninstall it and subsequently force Windows to reinstall the generic audio drivers. Keep in mind without the Beats Audio you may not have access to the Stereo Mix feature. Is the Stereo Mix device not listed in recording devices or is it listed but showing unavailable? Typically the stereo mix feature will not work unless it is set as the default device or if the internal microphone is disabled. Let me know if this helps.

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.

Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

Cirrus Logic CS4206A Sound Driver Problem in Windows 7

Hi All
I am having a problem with our Imacs. When we first installed windows 7 on our macs we found that we had no sound on the windows side and i figured out that the wrong drivers where installed so i have got the right driver off the MAC OS disk and i have installed the sound driver manually on our macs.
This originally fixed the problem but not every so often the sound driver breaks and we have no sound on the windows side. When i diagnose the sound driver is says there is a fix for this please apply this fix. I apply this fix and surprise sound comes back but this keeps on happening and is rather annoying.
Has anyone had this before and if so has anyone found a fix .
Thanks

ForA1354477: problem with realtek sound driver download for windows 7

I recently did a clean install of windows 7 enterprise and I lost the option on the sound recording page for stereo mix. I found a driver update on the toshiba website for my machines realtek sound driver for windows 7 so I tried it and it worked (sort of). Now I have the stereo mix option set as default but I also cannot make any changes in the sound recording page (the tabs are nor functioning and my cursor spins it's little processing circle when it is over the page). I can't even close the page without using the option from the task bar and sometimes that fails so I have to use the task manager to close the page. Anyone else have this problem?

These two drivers should work for your Windows 7. Although they carry the same version and date, they are different files with different sizes. Try them both.

Sound Driver and Driver Installment Problems

I have been having trouble trying to get my sound driver to work on my
MacBook Pro in Windows XP. After updating my MacBook with all it current
upgrades, I loaded up Bootcamp to install Windows XP now, I have followed
all the instructions in the guide and have succefully installed Windows XP but,
when I run Windows and start to install the Drivers from my Mac unto
Windows, close to the end I get a message that it could not finish properly.
Now, I find that all runs well except an important thing like my sound. I go
into the sounds control menue to see if there is a driver and as i suspect
nothing. I also check for my network and nothing and same for my eject
button, that doesnt work either. Please if someone can assist me on this
problem it would be much apprecitated and that way I can use my music
programs which I have not been able to use.

Your question has nothing to do with the installation of OS X. Post it in the Boot Camp discussions:
