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.

Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M.
So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics?
If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).
I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit).

Hi,
You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink.
Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf
Supported wireless cards are listed in chapter 3 starting on page 24.
From the looks of it, you have a choice of the Atheros AR9280 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 WiFi Adapter, or the
Broadcom 4322 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN adapter.
You must only get one of the cards listed in the service manual and they MUST have the HP part # on them, or they WILL NOT work in your notebook.
Make sure you choose a card with the part # listed for your locale.

Graphic card for hp pavilion dv7-3152

Hi all!
I have a hp pavilion dv7-3152ca I bought some time ago. For some weeks now, the laptop became a bit strange, shutting down by itself randomly with Power Kernel error 41 on win7 64.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c02143694
After checking some place, i've seen it could come from overheating so cleaning would be a good move. After disassembling the whole thing (you have to remove any single part to do such!), problem still occurs. So it does not come from heating.
I know it can come from several thing but as my video card is messy for a while (the vga output does not work anymore, had to buy a hdmi to vga converter to use laptop for ppt), I guess it could be the reason.
Now, problem: which card and where to buy!?
What kind of specs should i check for? I mean on pc, it's easy with mobo, you can get ref but for laptop... and as the laptop is not anymore under warranty, no way to get any kind of support from HP (good job guys, way to go...)
Any inputs?
Thanks

If the video card is bad, it will mean replacing the whole motherboard. The video chip is soldered to it. If you need help finding the part let us know.

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.

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?

Audio: IDT HD Audio
Wireless: Broadcom BCM4315; Wired: Atheros AR8121

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?

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.
HP Pavilion Model: a1029.uk...
Windows XP (SP3)
(not working) on board sound : Integrated High Definition audio Realtek ALC 880 chipset 8-channels for Full Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.1 surround sound support with Dolby Pro Logic IIx
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 issues with a Pavilion dv7 laptop, please help!

Hi everyone!
I have the Pavilion dv7 laptop and LOVE IT! It's a great machine and has amazing features, especially some quality sound, when it works. I'm looking for some help with this problem. I can fire it up and have sound. And then the sound will cut our and when I go down to the volume and open up the sound properties, my speakers are missing and it says it's using an HP dock, which I don't even have. Sometimes, it will say that it's using headphones. But the option for my speakers does not show up.
I can reboot and sometimes that will help and it will fire back up with sound, sometimes not. I'm looking for suggestions on what to do to keep my sound from going out.
Thanks in advance!
-Sean :-)

Likely the AC power jack has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Not sure why or how it can work if you remove ACPI support but the jack does have a pin that carries data to the motherboard and I suspect yours is bad. This is the part and what it looks like. It is a middle-difficulty replacement, at worst.

Pavilion DV7-1228ca Notebook Recovery

Hi,
I have a laptop Pavilion dv7-1228ca running Windows Vista. I guess it may have infected with virus and it is unable to boot. When I turned on the machine, the screen was black and all the indicator lights were turned on and the machine was continuously reading the dvd drive. I would prefer to recover the personal data files; otherwise, I did create my recovery disc (1 to 3) but I never use them before. Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
HongDing

Hi DP-K,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried the following two ways.
1. When I pressed the power button, the BIOS prompts were not shown up and the screen was still a black screen. The Recovery Manager was not launched.
2. I put the first recovery disc (which were created after I purchased the machine) on the DVD drive and turned on the machine. It did not do anything either and it continued to read the drive. The screen was still a black screen.
Are there any suggestion?
Thanks again!

Unfortunately, the GPU is not upgradeable in these units. You would have to upgrade the entire motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability issues in the future. Your best option would be to upgrade to a newer notebook with the GPU and specs you require.

Solved: No sound over HDMI - HP Pavilion dv3510nr Entertainment Notebook PC

I bought an HP Pavilion dv3510nr in April 2009 (4G Ram, Vista Home Premium 64Bit). As I did not have access to any HDMI devices I didn’t have the opportunity to use the HDMI output. Recently I obtained an HDMI TV and when I connected the dv3510nr the video worked fine, but there was no sound. Set the default playback device to Digital Output Device (S/PDIF/HDMI); this made no difference. Over many days I tried various suggestions regarding possible solutions, all without success.
Shortly after buying the laptop, I visited NVIDIA’s web sit and updated the original video drivers to the latest version (version 186.03). According to the NVIDIA, the 186.X drivers offer a very significant performance increase for many applications, and also include PhysX system software for hardware acceleration.
Checked HP’s support page for my model here, and found that the latest drivers provided by HP were version 7.15.11.7903, (Called NVIDIA NB9M-GS Graphics Drivers).
Decided to replace my current drivers with these older ones. This was harder than I expected. Downloading and running the exe file (sp41695.exe) did not replace the existing 186.03 drivers. Using the control panel to uninstall both the drivers and the PhysX software seemed to work, but on rebooting, the drivers were automatically re-installed. I also used Device Manager to uninstall them. Eventually I succeeded and again tried to install the older drivers provided by HP; this time I received an error message saying that I was “Trying to use a 32-bit uninstaller on a 64-bit system”. The program sp41695.exe initially creates a folder C:\SWSetup\SP41695 that contains several files including a setup.exe file and two other folders: WinVista32 and WinVista64. Each of these also contains setup.exe files. I ran the setup.exe file in the WinVista64 folder. This successfully installed both the video and sound drivers for my graphics card. HDMI sound has worked fine since then. Needless to say, from now on I will only install drivers etc. from HP website!
Hope this saves someone else some time.

Here is a thread and it seems like one person got it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling but I didn't read it that carefully. There does seem to be a problem with getting a real windows 7 driver:

How do i fix the static sounds on my hp pavilion g4-1125dx notebook pc

I have static sounds coming out of my speakers and the laptop is still new i bought it last year in August at bestbuy. I was wondering if i can fix the problem or do i need to buy another laptop?

I am locked out of the BIOS on my HP Pavilion dv9810us Notebook PC.
It is asking me to enter a password when I try to enter the BIOS to change the settings for the WiFI in order to "un-disable" the WLAN. There is also a second place that is asking me to enter a value for the "T Frequency", whatever that is..., it is a numeric value I believe.
Presently my WLAN is DISABLED. I would like to fix that so it is enabled.
Thanks for your time. I will be waiting on your reply.

Changing memory cards in a Pavilion dv7-2273cl

Greetings:
I wanted to change the memory cards in my laptop (2 cards of 2GB each one), and the ones installed in it have a bus of 1066; but, here in the city where I live, I could get 4GB cards but with a bus of 1333 or 1600.
I would like to know if there would be any trouble or future problem if I put the 2 (4GB each) memory cards of 1333 or 1600 in my dv7 notebook; because some people told me I could have future problems due to the changing of bus (1066 to 1333/1600).
Thanks for your kind reply.
Sincerely.

I think you are saying your have 2x2GB DDR-1066 (PC3-8500) memory modules installed.
These can be upgraded to 2x4GB with eitherDDR3-1333 PC3-10600 or DDR3-1066 PC3-8500 modules
per crucial.com dv7-2273cl memory upgrade, i.e.. Crucial does not recommend the DDR-1600 memory.
TBD if the DDR-1333 memory will perform at the 1333MHz speed or auto downclock to the (current) DDR3-1066 rate. Often depends on the MoBo chips and BIOS
Usual caveats apply:
There are variants of both DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1066 Wikipedia DDR3_SDRAM, choose wisely.
The crucial.com scanner can be helpful.
For best performance, install in matched pairs. Don't know if the MoBo is dual channel (assume not) - won't matter if installed as matched pair.
If running windows, you need a 64bit version of the OS to use > 3 or 3.5GB of RAM
