Sound card issues downgrading Pavilion dm1z to XP x64?

A few months ago, while following the "Unofficial Downgrade to XP" guide, I decided to go with XP 64-bit for my Pavilion dm1z laptop. The thread does indicate that 64-bit XP isn't supported at all for newer HP laptops, but I wanted to still take advantage of the expanded memory availability for my laptop with a 64-bit OS. (Specs are below in my signature.)
I was able to get everything working that I needed -- monitor/display, wireless, wired networking, touchpad, SATA drivers -- everything except the audio driver, which HP no longer provides for 64-bit XP and which I was unable to find elsewhere. Upon repeated installs, I would always get "The upgrade does not apply to your system" or something similar. MS UAA HD Audio had installed properly, but audio always appeared with a yellow exclamation in Device Manager. Sound card is used with IDT audio drivers, and I'm assuming that the driver(s) I tried work only with a 32-bit OS. I ended up reinstalling Windows 7 through a recovery USB I had made prior to my attempted downgrade, but am still not happy with Windows 7, and would rather have XP 64-bit.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of either: 1) a guide on how to upgrade/replace the built-in IDT sound card with another, more widely used brand (like Realtek, Conexant or Creative), or 2) somewhere I can download IDT audio drivers for 64-bit Windows XP?

Storage: AMD 780G Chipset; AMD SB700 Southbridge

Thanks for the link, will try it as soon as I can.
But in case it doesn't work, is it possible to replace the internal audio card with one from another company, and download the XP drivers for that?

How do i add a sound card to hp pavilion p2-1106.

The HP web site says:
that on the hp pavilion p2-1106 desk top the on mother board audio will not work if a new souond card is installed.
How do I install a new internal sound card?

Here are the specs for the HP Pavilion p2-1106 Desktop Computer and it's IPXSB-DM (Cork) motherboard. This system has no expansion slots and will not accept any add-in cards. What it currently has is all you get.

INstalling new sound card on HP Pavilion a1029_uk

Hi
Due to the issues raised in my other thread
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Suddenly-no-sound/td-p/607655
I've gone and bought separate sound card (not from HP admittedly) but can't get it to install as the install software keeps crashing.
Could it be that I've not totally got rid of the on board motherboard sound chips (that no longer work) are somehow interfering in the process.
I've tried to do the install both with the and without disabling the on board audio in the BIOS settings (turning this off does seem to remove everything including Sound Manager, volume control etc) but it makes no difference.
Do I need to leave this one but remove sound manager and the device drivers manually and if so, how do I do this as Sound Manager isn't included in the "Add / Remove Software" list.
So the question is: Is it possible to totally remove all systems access to the on board sound set, so I can use a PCI sound card instead.
Technical stuff.

Trying to install Sweex SC002 5.1 PCI Sound Card
http://www.sweex.com/en/assortiment/sound-vision/sound-cards/SC002/

Just to let everyone know I've solved this one.
It seems part of the new sound cards that hooks around the back of the PC to hold it in place is slightly too short, and/or the wrong shape, so when you put on the plate on my HP Pavillion that holds all the PCI cards in place, this pulls the soundcard slightly out of it's slot, up at the opposite end with the smaller pins so although the computer can detect there's a PCI card there, it can't tell what it is.
If I leave this plate off, and allow the hook around part to hang free, the card works.

Sound Card on Hp Pavilion dv7-1175 Notebook

My microphone seems to have alot of static when I talk, so I did some further researching and some people think that it may be the sound card thats the problem. The mic is brand new and i've tried other mic's with this machine and its the same problem.

Hello,
Are you still having the issue? Have you done any troublshooting becides a reinstall of the driver? When you reinstalled the driver did you use Recovery Manager or HP.com?

Snd_hda_intel, VT1708 Sound Card issue at Boot Up,

Hello there,
Since a week or two (after an update) my sound card isn't at the right order; therefore I cannot play any sound. Let me explain furthermore, I have an USB Webcam with microphone, and a ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo equipped with a VIA VT1708 S sound card.
I followed the "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" guide and everything was working sweet until that update, no the USB Webcam is always (if plugged in while booting) the default sound card.
Here is my /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
options snd_hda_intel
So at the moment, I do start up with the Webcam unplugged, but I would like to fix this issue as the webcam is needed very often.
Many thanks for your time and help.

Sound Card Issues with Macromedia Flash

I'm having issues with a clicking sound on some of the areas of my audio when I export to a quicktime file from Flash. After extensive research, I found at least one forum post addressing the issue saying that it could be that the Crystal Semiconductor CX84xx sound card that came with my G5 could need updated drivers. So far I've only been able to find an update for Windows Crystal Semiconducter, which makes me think that maybe there aren't any updates for this particular sound card for Mac?
I guess my question is, am I on the right track, and if there are updates for this sound card where would I be able to find them?
Thanks,
Jay

In particular, please see this bug report: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3289908
With 11.2, do you ever get proper surround decoding? If so, can you point me to content that I can hear?

Sound card issue

I have onboard sound, it's been working perfectly fine in Arch. The other day I took apart my computer to move it into a new case, dropped a screwdriver on the motherboard a couple of times, straightened a pin that I noticed was bent on the front panel audio connector (which I wasn't using), and when I hooked everything back up and turned the system on, I no longer heard sound. I didn't get any error messages from the sound system, and when I play something in, say, Amarok, everything looks normal, except for the fact that no sound is coming out of my speakers. So I suspect I physically damaged the part of the motherboard responsible for playing sound.
lspci still returns the name of the onboard device, though, and dmesg doesn't report anything different from what it normally reports about the device. Is there anything else I might try to see if there's a software solution to this?
I'd like to fix the onboard sound, but I thought that might not be possible, so I put in a cheap PCI sound card. lspci detects this too, but when I plug my speakers into that card's line out I also get no sound, although again everything on the software end seems to be fine. I tried disabling the onboard sound in the bios but the system still doesn't seem to detect that I want to use that card.
So, if anyone has any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong with the PCI sound card or (preferably) a way to try to fix the onboard sound, please post.

Have you run "alsaconf"? It could be your PCI sound-card isn't configured in ALSA yet.
Have you checked whether the line-out is muted? You could for example by "alsamixer" adjust sound levels.
If the on-board sound-card is disabled, there shouldn't be any other card for ALSA to pick up. Otherwise you need to check in /etc/rc.conf which card is picked up as default, in other words which module is put first in line.
Dropping screwdrivers on the motherboard isn't a very good idea. Even static electricity could severely damage components.

Skype can't detect sound card, issue with playback...

Hello
I have just received my Razer kraken 7.1 headset and have installed razer synapse 2.0. I have set up my mic and speakers of the headset through the control panel, my playback is set as the razer kraken 7.1 earphone and the mic is set as the headset microphone through the recording tab. When I launch skype there is no sound produce through the application, however with previous headsets there has been, I have tried going on youtube to see if sound comes through the headset and it does. Previously I have been using a turtle beach z11 which used 3.5mm jacks in to the computer however this new headset is usb operated. When skype opens and I try to call someone it says problem with playback device meaning I can't call anyone at all. However when checking call quality it says everything is working fine even though it isn't.
So far I have tried re-installing skype and restarting my pc none of this has worked so far, I know this isn't likely a fault with the headset as it works with all other programmes I have tried.
I am using a custom built pc with
OS: WIN7 64 BIT Home Premium
GPU: AMD HD7950
CPU: i5-3550
RAM: 8gb 1333mhz
Motherboard: Asus p67 series
Sound card: Onboard 7.1 audio
Any help with my problems would be much appreciated.
-Thanks
George Snell

@gsnell, Please setup your audio device directly in Skype and not only in the windows playback/record interface.
Also, please try to quit synapse 2.0 since it may interfere with Skype.
Also please try with the latest 6.13 version
www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-windows/downloading/
if nothing helps, Can you please provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
Thank you

The old sound card issu

oki this is going to be one big hell of a soup.
HEre is the problem:
I CANT GET MY SOUND TO WORK.
so what have i done?
well i have done alot of things. and here is the log:
got xp and the network card to work. downloaded the update program. and from there I reflached the BIOS to get it UTD (up to date). updateded all the drives. updated windows to SP2 (did that before the bios and drives but after the network card).still didnt get the sound card to work. << did that for about 15 min . and then did every thing all over again about 17 times (didnt reinstall win). <<< im serius.
as soom as i tryed a new thing i re installd the sound drives and rebooted and then tryed ru pöay something in mediaplayer, and have allways got a error mess in my face.
and here is the status:
BIOS
OAC (onboard audio controller) enabled
OAM (onboard audio mode...or some thing) Azalia (tryed whit AC97)
controll panel> system> device controller:
no yellow device
sound card properly installed.
sounscard propertys show taht it's working and have the right drives
"propertys for sound and sounddevices"
every thing is gray.
and it cant find any sound devices.
i need help whit this ASAP im going crazy
thx for your time
/Evanion

If I'm not wrong, you are having either the 915P based or 925x based mobo running with Azalia embedded 7.1 Audio sound chip.
I recommend you to try the sticky at the top of the forum and see if it solves your problem.

[Solved] Sound Card Issue

I have been trying to set my default sound card as a usb headset that I got a while back before I started using arch linux. I have checked the wiki, the audactiy wiki, and a few other sources to get everything started. When I first configure everything using the guides, everything works well. However, upon reboot, the order of my soundcards change. There was a guide on the archwiki on how to set a defined sound card order, but I cannot find a way to acertain the snd_mia,snd_hda_intel equivalents to my sound card.
=======================================
cat /proc/asound/cards yeilds
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xfeaf4000 irq 16
1 [HDMI ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI HDMI
HDA ATI HDMI at 0xfebf8000 irq 43
2 [P780 ]: USB-Audio - Plantronics GameCom 780
Plantronics Plantronics GameCom 780 at usb-0000:00:12.0-3,
=============================================
However the order of these changes when I apply
=====================================
cm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:2,0"
capture.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:2,0"
=========================================
to ~/.asoundrc in order to set my playback and capture device as my headset. Again, it works at first, but then the sound card order changes upon reboot. I understand that one can define the sound card order by editing /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and then applying (only changing snd_mia,snd_hda_intel to the sound cards of your computer)
=========================================
options snd slots=snd_mia,snd_hda_intel
options snd_mia index=0
options snd_hda_intel index=1
================================================
So I am merely asking how one would go about finding and defining the equivalents of snd_mia,snd_hda_intel for ones own sound cards, and then proceeding to set the default order using the method that the archwiki provided.

Use [_code_][_/code_] tags without the underscores to mark output of commands. Snd_mia and so on are modules. Look at the wiki again, search for lsmod. It is explained there. You could use that alsa configuration by using card names as references instead of numbers, which is also explained at the wiki, but I recommend sticking to modprobe approach. Read the whole chapter about setting the default sound card. It is explained step by step how to acquire vid and pid and use them. Your modules should be snd_hda_intel and snd_usb_audio from the looks of it.
It is supposed to be pcm.!default not cm.!default, you probably missed the 'p' when copying.
I did a quick page through the wiki on lsmod, and I set up the modprobe file. I also fixed the snippet of code that I added, and now everything works like a charm. Thanks for the help, and I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Windows 7 upgrade (sound card issue)

My laptop's sound card makes a loud noise when I upgraded from Vista to 7. I installed the new sound card driver, it worked for a day and made that noise again. I installed it again and now I have to wait and see. Does anyone have any idea to why it's making a noise? My laptop model is Qosmio F55-502. I would appreciate any suggestions and advices.

| Creative's applications in Daniel's packs tend to integrate better than standard ones or "the Vista install CD", but you can use any driver you want AFTER the installation. That is what I used to do with my X-FI. I installed Daniel's and then upgraded the driver, and any other application that had been updated since his pack's creation.

Sound card issues?

Hi,
I am putting the system shown below together at the moment. I have had it up and running a couple of times now and experienced almost identical crashes.
the first couple of crashes the system just came to a halt and upon reboot I got the "config/system is missing" error. The most recent one has resulted in a Blue screen stop error with "unmountable boot device". However the manner of the errors and the time they occured is identical.
I have narrowed it down, I believe to the soundcard/sound drivers. The most recent time I installed XP Home SP1, some basic drivers (graphics and motherboard but NO sound). I then played Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (just because it was a free one with the graphics card) with no problem. This was soundcard physically connected but no drivers installed. I then installed the drivers from the creative cd - possibly a mistake! and played again and sure enough the system crashed at exactly the same point it previously had.
In between crashes I have moved the soundcard itself from PCI slot 2 to 3 in case there was some conflict. Obviously I have the onboard sound turned off in the BIOS but to perfectly honest some of the other BIOS setting baffle me and the manual isnt too descriptive so they have generally been left as is. I think I have disabled the RAID but enabled the SATA1/2 and 3/4 pairings (is this correct?!). The two drives are connected on SATA1 and 2 - the nVidia controlled ones as far as I can see.
Is there any known conflict between the Audigy cards and this motherboard? In the meantime I am downloading latest drivers for the sound card on my working desktop ready for another re-install!!
Any advice as to how/why the crash occured or any fixes would be much appreciated! Also any advice regarding BIOS settings as I realise the problem may lie with something I have accidentally changed!!
Many thanks,
Nath

Hi, thanks for the quick response!
I have re-installed XP Home SP1 on the main drive, installed DirectX9.0c and the 71.89 nVidia WHQL certified drivers. Everything appears to be going well so far! The motherboard drivers appear to have gone on ok, usb ports working, network things identified and shown in bottom right as disconnected.
I downloaded the drivers you suggested from the creative website (I think they were dated 12 May) and tried to install them and realised they were an update so I installed the original CD ones (you were right - December 03!!!) then applied the update. The sound is working in windows fine, the sample music plays through all speakers using a digital line through the decoder - perfect!
Before I install the suspect applications and run them again I thought it working checking the device manager, even though no problems appear to be showing up and sure enough I have discovered that the graphics card and sound card appear to be sharing the same interrupt (IRQ 18). Is this correct?!
I will wait to install games/applications I think may break the system until I hear something back as I suspect this may fix it! That said I can see no way of disabling automatic allocation - the automatic setting box is greyed out. If you need them I can give you a list of the other interrupts so we can select and IRQ for the sound card that will not conflict.
Anything else worth checking before I do much else?
Thanks again,
Nath

MSI 965 Platinium sound card issue

Hi folks,
Does anybody have any clue how to convert the sound card into pure stereo one. I have a set of Logitech speakers model X-230 (left, right and the subwoofer). From the sound card driver I can pick whether I want to use a headset, 2 channel speakers, 4 channel etc. However in either of these setting the two speakers tend too be supplied with just the "surroud effect" signal so when watching movies or playing music, vocals are really flat and indistinguishable. Tis really pi..es me off. The speakers sound fantastic on my wifes laptop on stereo output! And I just can not make the sound card working with an output of pure stereo signal. In the past I had Gigabyte mainboard and could switch between stereo and 5.1 system activating/dis activating/disactivating specific outputs. This does not seem the case for P965 unfortunatelly.
Any clues how to fix it? Cheers lads.

Yes, I can change the setting in the panel, but does not change the type of the output signal. The vocal part is somewhat buried/flat. This is particularly annoying when watching movies.

I´m having problems with the integrated sound card on my K9N Diamond MB,i cant seem to get the sound to work.
I couldnt use the drivers that came with the MB cause XP64 doesnt read the disc, so i tried the downloadable drivers from this site. To make sure it wasnt the speakers i´ve plugged in headphones in the line-out (green) slot and it still wont work.
And i cant install a separate card cause i use SLI GeForce 7900GTX and they take up pretty much all the space on the board. And i cant go with XP-pro either.

I did, said it found no compatible device for the drivers. Checked in the Mainboard manual for the exact brand of the card.
XP appears to identify the card in every way i´ve checked, and i´ve double checked the volume controls so that nothing is on mute just to be sure. There´s just no sound coming out.
download correct drivers for XP 64 (http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/Creative_Audigy_Drivers.zip)
ensure your onboard sound is enabled in BIOS.
install it. ensure its installed propery (in device manager--->multimedia device)
configure your speakers to correct configuration, ensure your speakers is connected property.
ensure in mixer settings "digital output only" is uncheked.
if you wana install drivers from creative: after download correct drivers pack. right click on it and select extract to xxxx folder. then update it manually.

Sound Card issue in Satellite A215-7422

I tried installing new RAM in my Toshiba last week. After a couple hours, the laptop began crashing and through experimentation, found one of the RAM chips was bad and making my laptop die. The next day, the audio on my laptop stopped, but began again after a restart. It happened again the next day. The following day, it died outright. No restarting regained my sound. After a few restarts and reinstalling of new drivers, it began giving off a high-pitched noise through the speakers. It persisted through having headphones plugged in and muting the sound. The only thing that has stopped the squeal is disabling "High Definition Audio Controller" from the device driver, though I have to 'enable' then 'disable' again ever time I turn on my laptop. I don't know if my soundcard got burned out by the bad RAM (though kingston says there's "no way") and my warrenty ran out a few weeks ago of course, so any at all help would be appreciated.

have a fairly old SB Audigy 4800 and when I use this as my default device, my audio crackles and is fuzzy at random times when it is playing back.
The first place that I would look would be to the mechanical connections of both the card (to MoBo) and then to all hardware. Next would be installing the latest drivers. Should neither of these prove useful, you might explore ASIO4ALL, as your ASIO driver. Still, the nature of the problem smacks of a mechanical issue. Besides those mentioned above, it could also be in the circuitry of the card itself. Can you test substitute another card?
Good luck,
Hunt
