[solved] Lenovo Y510P Sound Issue

Hello.
So I recently purchased a Lenovo Y510P which I quite enjoy, running like a champ. But with my current setup, I cannot for whatever reason get sound working. I've enabled and disabled many modules and have tried everything I know of, but I cannot seem to get it to work. Here is a screenshot of what I'm currently working with. Now, I've never really have deal with setting up sound with ALSA or anything before, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong.
I appreciate the help, thanks!

I think the output of aplay -l is telling you everything you need to know, if you follow the so-called Alternative Method. You know that you have card 0 and card 1, you want card 1 to be default, so make the appropriate subsitution in
The Wiki wrote:
To set this card as the default, you can either use the system-wide file /etc/asound.conf or the user-specific file ~/.asoundrc. You may have to create the file if it does not exist. Then insert the following options with the corresponding card.
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 2
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 2

[SOLVED] Crackling/distortion sound issues with Skype

Recently pulseaudio was updated version 5.0 this finally fixed my KDE issues where KDE would switch inputs after every login. But now I have a crackling sound issue in Skype but only on my end off the connection. The one I'm talking to sounds fine but he hears me all the distorted and crackling. I tried the Skype Test Call system and there I sound fine no crackling issues or distortions. Anyone else have issues like that currently or know that could be?

T400 Sound Issues

New T400 - 7417TRU....random sound issues...comes and goes. Running XP. For example, while listening to a CD, sound comes and goes and then starts warbling. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

we are also having random touchpad mouse issues. seems to have a mind of it's own. This unit was purchased Mid-March 2009. Went into the settings for the touchpad and basically turned all special features off. Still does it...randomly...not all of the time.
Solved the problem by downloading and installing DVD Firmware update from Lenovo. For the mouse touchpad issues, went into the settings and turned off all settings, leave the touchpad in basic configuration. All is working great now.

Dear Mehnihma
Welcome in lenovo community
If this is the first time to face the issue as it was working before so the System restore will be the best solution .
Restore your system to the nearest restore point when the machine was working fine before
Let me know

Lenovo Y510p SLI Screen Flickering

Hello guys,
I know most of the Y510p user have encounter the "Screen flicker like crazy" issue, and yes,i am here to write another thread about this issue.
1.What is the reason that made it happened?
I have checked lots of threads and posts about this issue and tried,neither of them actually do solve the problem.Lenovo also does not really seem to care about this issue too (No offense,but they will just tell you take it to the service center.)
Is it because of faulty processor or graphic cards? or the display or LCD cable is broken?
2.Is there a permanent fix for the problem?
I have seen other user posted about their experience about this model,stating it will still occur after services or changing a new one.I want to know if there is a real solution?
Please share your thoughs and let me know if there is a fix for this. BTW,mine Y510p is still under-warranty.

As you say that the screen flickers while booting as well (at the Lenovo logo or other parts), I believe that this could be a hardware issue related to either the screen or the motherboard.
The only thing I can recommend is to contact Lenovo customer support and send in your laptop for repairs.
You can call them in your country. Find the number from this link -

Lenovo y510p audio problem on Windows 10 x64

Hi i am using lenovo y510p and i having some problem.After installing Windows 10 x64 I can`t use the 5.1 speakers connected via optics. At sound check box gives "Failed to play test sound"/
To solve these problem I tried:
1. Reinstalt drivers Realtek (tried as a version from official Lenovo suport and the latest version from Realtek);
2.Plug and unplug optics (Realtek Didgital Output) in "Sound";
3.Restart the Windows Audio service.4. Reinstalt chipset and audio drivers.
Now the external speakers working in stereo .

The drivers listed for under Y510p was not the lastest for our audio hardware, hence why I gave you a link to (what I think) is the latest version. Those should have no problem working under Win 10 (and maybe Win 8.1).
Y510p has a "weak" audio chipset in the sense that it isn't handled well by the drivers providided on Realtek's homepage.

Windows 8.1 update problem on LENOVO Y510P

Hey guys,
Can't find anything similar to my problem and exhausted my options on this, so decided to ask. If it has been answered I couldn't find, so please point me out on the right direction.
Back history:
Have a lenovo y510p
Bought caddy & SSD drive and installed it onto laptop
Couldn't find a good doc about how to proced so my idea was
1-restore factory settings,
2-Copied the Windows C: partition and the SYSTEM_DRV partition to the SSD using Macrium reflect
3-Went on the BIOS boot order and set the SSD to boot first.
4-Voila, works fine, boots C: on the SSD and it's super fast.
Problem:
Windows 8.1 update can't install on C:. Bummer
I receive a notification saying that I can update to windows 8.1, which I want to do.
1 Hit ok to download,
2 it starts the update process,
3 finishes installing,
4 says it needs to restart
5-RESTARTS TO THE OLD DRIVE, changing the boot order on the BIOS (**bleep**???)
I then check that nothing was installed even on the old drive, proceed to shut down computer, change boot order back to SSD drive, start windows and receive a message that it couldn't be installed and it has reverted the installation.
Has anyone ever experienced that?
My idea now is to
Back up my computer again
Restore factory settings (on old drive)
Install windows 8.1 to old drive
Clone windows partition over
Change BIOS to boot up on SSD.
HOWEVER my question is: What happens when I want to install Windows 10 ? Do you think I'll face the same issue?
Should I somehow format the old drive's windows partition to prevent this from happening ?
Any help is welcome and I thank you all in advance,
Cheers

Did you erase the recovery partition on the old drive? My best guess is to create recovery discs or thumbdrive take the old drive out and put the new drive in and use the discs or thumbdrive to restore the system. Then run the updates and then copy your personal information from the old disc to the new disc.
As for Windows 10, I do not know if they are going to be doing a clean install with the update to windows 10 or doing an in place update so it is hard to know what problems you will encounter.

Lenovo y410p gt750m issues

Hello, I have a Lenovo notebook y410p (4th Generation Intel Core i7-4700MQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, NVidia GT750M 2GB), already bought this computer used, knowing the defect, only what was said to the person who bought it is that it was in BGA GPU.
Description of what happens: When the video card is activated the cooler goes to 100% of use and turn off the notebook, if not push too hard it gets some time on (about 2 min).
What I wanted to know from you is whether this notebook's behavior is compatible with the GPU BGA, the video below shows what happens when I leave the system itself choose which video card to use (it also comes with an Intel 4600), still I have not decided what I will do with the notebook, so I was not looking for any specialized company, I want to exhaust all possibilities before that ... if someone knows or has any idea what happens to be going, I'll be very grateful.
Sorry for bad english.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I understand what is BGA GPU.
So, you mean that you bought the laptop knowing that the discrete GPU needs reballing?
(If that is the case then ofcourse the laptop will not work properly)
Sorry if the above case is valid, then your laptop cannot be repaired by a software fix, it needs reballing.
Even if it has been re-balled, it may not be totally good.
About the NOVO button, there is a small button with a refresh symbol (half circled arrow).
Here is your manual and use guide which you can look at for details -

Will Kinect for windows v2(Xbox one Kinect) work with my Lenovo Y510p?

Hello everyone,
Im new here and I have a question. I have a lenovo Y510p laptop with following configurations
RAM:8GB DDR3
Processor: intel i7 4700MQ 2.40Ghz to 3.40Ghz
GPU: Nvidia 755M(No SLI)
OS:Windows 8 x64
USB 3.0 x 2
Physical Cores 4 and Logical cores 8
So when I ran the Kinect v2 Configuration Verifier it says
Supported USB 3.0 detected but with unknown bandwidth Kinect may or may not work. Will Kinect work one mine or not? Has anyone having Lenovo y510p got it working?
Thanks in advance.

Depending on whether or not you have other devices sharing the same bandwidth as the USB3 chipset host controller that will be used for Kinect. The only way to tell on that system will be to connect a device to see what happens. The possible issues that
can occur are described in the troubleshooting thread:

Pair of sound issues

I have two very weird and frustrating problems regarding sound on my iMac G5.
First, certain Flash content will not generate sound at all. The computer has no problem playing sound from movies embedded in websites or mp3s, etc but for some reason embedded Flash content will not play sound. This problem has cropped up before and then went away and seems to have returned. Several uninstalls and reinstalls of both Flash and Shockwave have proven fruitless. No sound is produced whether speakers are plugged in or not. So it seems to be a software issue. My PowerBook with 10.4.2 handles the content without issue.
Second, the optical portion of my audio-out port seems to be shot. For a while I was successfully using a miniTOSLink adapter to connect some Klipsch ProMedia speakers to my iMac. One day they decided to emit nothing but a loud and annoying static when connected via optical. Connection via analog headphone jack yields normal operation (barring the above problem with Flash).
And of course my 90 days was up in June.

I too have had sound issues. I haven't tried the flash and shockwave things you have. I basically don't use them. I have had sound problems with the headphone jack/optical audio out port. I have had my G5 iMac 20" about 1 week and right from the start the sound would jump from external speakers to internal speakers. Most of the time the sound comes from the internal speakers. I opened System Preferences/Sound and I can watch the output jump back and forth between internal and line out. I called Apple Support and they got me to zap the PRAM and reset the Open Firmware. It didn't help. They told me it looks like a short in the port and to take it in to a authorized dealer for repair. Before I do that I have ordered a Xpress Digital Optical Cable from Griffin Technologies hoping this can solve the problem because you and others here have said Digital Optical cables help. There is another thread here about external speakers not recognized and one person says what worked was a combination of digital optical cable and certain adapters. I do have sound from my externals though because I happen to have a iMic. It is an external sound card that connects from USB. That is working fine. I would like to have the digital optical output though.

Sound issues; slow response; usb ports unreliable and sd reader not working

The PC is a HP TouchSmart envy about 18 months old. Soon after purchasing I upgraded to Win 8.1.
About three or four months -ago probably after a Win update was installed- I began to have Sound issues (including not able to conect my external powered speakers any more- they used to work brilliantly and initially no sound at all but I went into settings and changed something and every now and again I have to do that again to get the PC speakers to work) ; slow response; usb ports unreliable, sd reader not working- as well as issues with the internet - the modem actually. It is easier to get on to a tablet and use the internet as my PC can be really slow. As well I have uninstalled Chrome and am using Explorer as this seems a little better but I miss Chrome.
I was advised by tech at Hervey Norman that I had to do a complete system restore but in order to do that I would need the recovery discs from HP? Is that correct? How do I do this?
PS I did not make recovery discs when I first purchased the machine. (Very sad!!!)
Help!!!
Alfriston

Hi again Alfriston,
Thank you for the clarification!
To return your computer's audio back to functional order, I recommend removing the audio driver from the operating system previous to upgrading to Windows 8.1, and installing the driver provided in this link.
If re-installing the driver does not resolve the issue, I suggest following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8).
In regards to the USB ports, I recommend following this resource on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 8), which should help consistently connect your USB devices to your computer.
To prevent your computer from lagging or responding in a slow manner, please follow the step in this document on Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8) to help improve the speed and efficiency of the operating system.
To further diagnose the issue with your desktop's SD card reader, I recommend following this resource on Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8).
If your desktop still experiences issues with the audio, USB connections, speed and performance, as well as the SD card reader, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Sound issue on hp 2313ax

I have purchased this laptop in the feb , till now I havent got any solution of my sound issue in 2313ax
The problem is quite different , my laptop came with free dos , when I installed windows 8 64 bit ( pro ) , there is distortion in sound while playing any song or playing a game , the distortion is like a glitch or electrical distrubance and happens every now and then , it very frustating .
But the interesting part is when I installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit , no problem at all , sound issue is like it never existed.
When I called up the HP customer care , they were telling me that this model has different motherboard for win7 and win8 , to be honest I havent heard such a ridiculous excuse , how is this possible ?
And even if this model has different motherboards for different OS , HP should mention it at the site too in the specifications .
Irony is that when you try to download the drivers for this laptop , you will find that it is given only for winodws 8 . LOL
And they say we have different motherboards for win 7 and win8 .
Anyways , also one issue that bugs me , in windows 7 in dxdiag , video memory is shown 993 mb only
windows 8 it was showing correct around 5048 mb .
This forum is my last hope , dont know what to do ?

Hello utsav21,
Please call HP and speak to a representative about your issue.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, begin Here.
Please let me know if they take care of you.
Good luck!

Apple TV after upgrade only video no sound issue.

So I had no issues with ATV until yesterday(10/25/2013) when I updated ATV with the latest update .Since then , whenever I play a video on my iphone 5S and airplay it , the video plays well on the TV but there is no audio at all . I tried changing the Dolby setting s and the Audio Output settings , but it doesn't seem to work .
Never had this issue earlier .
Only restarting Apple TV and my Router seems to solve this issue for now .
Is there any fix for this issue.

Hi @31danny
I understand that one of your notebooks is not playing sound using HDMI, using all the same hardware. Also that you have performed some of the standard checks. I am happy to assist with this.
As to why the one is working and the other is not, is impossible to say yet. Like any complex device, there are small variations between the components, and in some cases that can result in differences between how one performs versus the other. So no two pieces of hardware will be exactly the same.
Anyway, I would recommend you check through this page and since you have already done many of the things within, I would look to the options further down, and start with the hard reset:
Troubleshooting HDMI Display and Sound Issues
Let me know if those steps help at all, and if not, any other information you can provide.

Beats Audio Sound Issue

Hi, well, like many others, im having issues with the beats audio on my LK237AV, im telling you the full history: Clean install of windows 10, after that, installed the drivers via windows update, ok at this point, lik always when i installed linux on my laptop i test the sound quality because the drivers and then, i found that the speakers near the screen works, but the one near me does not, so, i download 3 diferents packages from hp support and nothing, one of then wont install at all (not the rigth driver for me) another one installed an when i was thinking its over again, the sound its really bad, it sound like a portable FM/AM device, then, i tried with the original package for my laptop, and installed the beats audio panel, wich does not install on the other ones, but the sound was missing!. installed again the one wich work for me, and againg i have sound but **bleep** to bad, with hope, i tried with my sennheiser studio earphones and, on the first jack does not sound at all, it continues giving me sound with the speakers that works, the second jack it worked but again i think im going to throw up whe i hear that disgusting sound quality... so here is the think, im asking for all of us the hp guys who has a hp laptop with beats audio to release a driver that works with windows 10, do not attach us with "its not supported" because its your responsability as a pc/laptop maker to release a driver that solve the problem that million of people has after upgrade the SO. thanks in advance,

Thanks for getting back to me with that information!
I've got a couple of things for you to try.
First, try updating to the latest BIOS version F.1C. Download and install F.1C. Your computer will restart on its own during the installation. Allow it to restart and test it for sound issues. If you are still having the problem, move on to the second option.
2nd Option You have the latest audio driver version 6.10.6381.0 installed. There are two versions listed on your driver page which means some units may work better with one version or the other. Don't make any changes to the BIOS version you just installed, but roll back to the earlier audio driver version.
To do this:
Open Device Manager
Expand Sound, video and game controllers
Double-click on IDT HD Audio
Click the Driver tab
If the 'Rollback' button is enabled, click that and restart the computer.
If the 'Rollback' button is not enabled, click Uninstall, do not restart the computer
Download and install 6.10.6345.0 offered on this link and restart
Let me know the results when you get a chance
