Sound loss on my HP Pavilion g7-1279dx, 64 bit Notebook

The sound on my HP Pavilion g7-1279dx 64 bit Notebook was workinmg until I plugged in the headphones. Now all sound is lost, although the diagnostic tools say sound devices are enabled.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55026.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load. Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services. Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type', select Automatic and click Apply to save the change. Then click the Start button.

Ipod to stereo sound loss

I've been searching a bit for this, but has anyone noticed some serious sound loss when connecting ipod to stereo or television and trying to play music? I've used it for TV and I didn't notice any major loss, but for music (using the standard headphone jack to white and red plug), it *****! If I turn the stereo up full ball it still lacks any punch (on a cd it would deafen me at this level). I want to buy a car stereo with an aux imput, but don't want to if it's not going to be loud. The ipod is new, so just want to know if this is normal?

I have used all of my 4 iPods as the main source for music connected to my living room stereo for years throug a docking station. (Not through the headphone output.)For my stereo i think the "latin" equalizer setting is closest to CD sound, but that varies. The sound is very close to CD sound and I do not lack any punch. I am using the same set up in the car and no problems there either. With the latest docing station the volume on the iPod has to be on full, but it automatically goes to full volume when docking.
By the way, I am using it with to stereos, One Denon and one Bose.

Trond

Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
(I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

Apple gives response on sound loss in iMovie '11

I phoned up Apple 'Care' about the reported sound loss/sound syncing when exporting clips.
Apple are not aware of any problems with the sound on the latest iMovie update. He suggested I look at my settings, and "Search on Google".
Great help.

Possible to connect an external monitor to HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I have a HP Pavilion dv4t-4200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC model # A1M02AV and it has a VGA port, one that looks like a phone/broadband cable port, and one that looks like a USB port but indented on either side at the bottom. Can I even connect an external monitor? How do I find out if I have more than 1 video card? Besides the usual USB/headphone ports, I don't have any other ports. It says my drivers are up to date...but I don't even know what I should be looking for. Do I need to install something or buy some sort of adapter?
I am trying to connect a Dell external montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power but my notebook does not recognize/detect it. However, when I first plugged it in, my notebook display shrank into a square (vs the whole screen) so it recognized something...but nothing happened on the external monitor.
I tried detecting it via my display settings, but I accidentally changed some dispaly setting so that the home desktop only shows on monitor 1, but unselected my actual notebook display or something or changed it to be monitor 2 (even though monitor 1 does not exist), so when I plug the cable in to my notebook, all of a sudden my desktop goes away and it's a just a blank background screen - and I cannot access the computer display settings or anything.... when the cable is unplugged this setting looks normal, so I can't figure out how to fix it.
Sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing here - please help!

Hi,
All Dell monitors come with CD's for drivers. Your laptop may not know the monitor w/o its driver, it won't install automatically. Please check:
Ringht click a blank space on desktop,
Click Personalize
Click Display
Click Change display settings
Can you see BOTH laptop screen and external monitor in there as shown on the following image:
For testing, I put my Dell monitor is my main display. If I can't see 2 monitor, you need its driver first and then check the cable.
Regards.

HD Replacement for HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello.
I have a HP Pavilion dm1z-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC , Product Number: XL303AV
I am having SMART HD monitor failure mensage at startup and the computer is very slow.
I just bought a OCZ Vertex V3 SSD 256mb and i want to create a recovery media but the recovery media creation in my computer is not working.
I did a backup of my files and a complete recovery from the F11 at startup.
The Notebook is runnig good, but the SMART screen reporting failure keeps appearing and windows is poping up HD failure alert.
The recovery media creation keeps not working (32GB USB drive), the formating step do not end never. I already tryied with another USB pendrive and no sucess.
The recovery partition is there. How to create a recovery media for my new SSD HD ?
Other problem:
I tryied to order the recovery media at HP site but i have a USA buyed notebook and i live in Brazil, and it is impossible to order that for shipping to Brazil (stupid). HP Brazil do not recognize my serial and produt number, sending me to USA site.
My windows 7 is the 64bits Home Premium.
Help me
Regards
Cristiano

Hi,
If the impending failure alert from the HD SMART is popping up, then creating USB from the original hard disk at this point is not likely to be successful.
You can try copying the recovery partition to an external drive in order to keep it. Use the OCZTechnology forum as a source for how to initially setup the SSD drive. I have a Vertex 3 SSD in this particular desktop PC and I love the performance it provides.
What was the size of the original hard disk?
I highly recommend that you use the Porutgese language HP Consumer support forum if you are familiar with the language. There are experts there who are quite likely to be familiar with the problem you are facing with in acquiring the recovery disk set. I met some of them last March in San Francisco at the HP Social Summit.
All you need to do to access the Portugese language HP Global forum is change the language tab at the upper right where it says English to Portugese.

HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC Hard Drive Replacement

Hello,
I have HP Pavilion dv7t-4100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC and I had had hard drive issues from within warranty period. i.e. I purchase in 2010 and had a hard drive replaced in 2011 and again in 2012. Next time it failed in 2013 (almost 11 months apart on an average).
Last time when it failed, the warranty had expired so I thought of giving it a few try e.g. running thru bad sector fixing/writing-off softwares from seagate, Toshiba....this got me out of Smart Drive Error.
I have been using the HDD for sometime now but want to be prepared for the next round and I'm sure it'll be gone for good the next time.
Current HDD is 640GB, 7200 RPM Hardrive (replaced in 2012). HP Part# 621046-001.
When replacing, can I use ANY 640GB hard drive? Can I use a hard drive that is larger than 640 GB? Different RPM?
Any suggestions about hard drive?
The recovery discs I had received with the replacement drive did not work correctly. I had to use the first set I had created right after I purchased the laptop.
Thank you.

Hi Pratik Patel
According to product manual:
Your system supports SATA 9.5mm or 12.5mm , 2.5" HDDs
supports upto 2 hard drives
supports SSD too.
Single hard drive configurations supported:
250GB, 320GB, 500GB @7200RPM @9.5mm
640GB @5400RPM @9.5mm
750GB, 1TB @5400RPM @12.5mm
160GB SSD
If you want dual hard drive configurations, please click following link (user manual):
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02666747.pdf
But, there is not hard fast rules that only 5400rpm can be used instead of 7200rpm, which was used to replace your earlier hdd.
hope this has helped you.
thanks

HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC motherboard replacement

Hi,
I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-3000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with the black screen (of death) due to a known fault with the graphics chip. I have been trying to buy a replacement motherboard at an affordable price that does not have this problem. I have seen several HP Pavilion motherboards that look very similar to mine, but have a different part number. Can anyone tell me or recommend a replacement motherboard that is compatible with my laptop and hopefully does not have this known graphics chip problem. Thanks for your time and support.

We need the P/N to verify what board will fit in that laptop and also you can use that P/N from service manual to locate the part on eBay to find a match or call HP support to see what the board would cost.

HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC - Upgrade Processor

Hello,
Any help would be appreciated.
I have an HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC. Because of a new job I need to update my processor from the current 2.30 GHz (see exact specs below, please) to at least 3.0 GHz.
Is there a 3.0GHz processor out there that is compatible with this particular computer? I've called technical support and was told they don't know. I really don't know who else to ask.
This computer was just purchased a few months ago (before I got the new job). I would really like to avoid purchasing a new computer, if at all possible, if I can upgrade the processor in this one.
Here are the specs of the current processor:
Intel Core i7 3610QM
Code Name   Ivy Bridge
Package   Socket 988B rPGA
Technology   22nm
Specification   Intel Core i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, there appears to be just one (that I've found) 3.0 GHz processor that Intel makes for my chipset (HM77 Express Chipset) and it's the i7-3940XM Extreme edition (http://ark.intel.com/products/71096/)
At a retail price of $1,000+ it looks like I'm going shopping for a new computer.
Not sure if anyone from HP read the peer forums, however, I will not be purchasing another HP product.
This machine has had issues outside of me needing to upgrade the processor for my own personal reasons. Your support is grossly lacking in all areas Your techscannot even pull up the model number with the serial number.
Customers should not have to go out on the Internet to research questions like this.

HP Pavilion dv4t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

I was gifted this HP Pavilion dv4t-1000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC laptop in October 2008 which was purchased in US. I am residing in India. In the first 6 months, the keyboard started having problems. I took this laptop to the HP service center in Bangalore, India which told me that this model is not supported in India. (Product Code # KH600AV)
Somehow I managed to send this back to US for repairing which got repaired under warranty.
Now my laptop is not rebooting. There seems to be some issue with the motherboard.
So far, HP Service Center in India is denying that it is not supported in India. Is there anyone who have come across situation.
Please let me know.
-Regards
Rahul Kshirsagar

The maximum memory supported by this notebook is 8192MB(8GB). Your notebook as 2 memory slots hence you need to get two 4GB modules each in order to upgrade it.

I have no sound on dv8000. Moved to Windows 7 64 bit. (error messaged;No media controller's)

I have no sound on dv8000. Moved to Windows 7 64 bit. Windows XP was on very shaky ground (error messaged-No multi media controller's). Also, need mass storage controller driver. Where can I obtain the compatible drivers. It would be nice if HP did not abandon some of their products as they did this one. Finally, can I add 2gigs DDR 333 (pc2700 2.5 cas) instead of the 512 megs I have now. I will be grateful for any help.~~~~Cuba T

Don't blame HP....Conexant didn't develop 64 bit drivers for their audio chip.
If you want to run W7 on that model, it will have to be 32 bit. Then you use the Vista 32 bit audio driver--probably have to manually install it too.
After you make the switch, install this card reader driver for the mass storage controller.
It will also work on W7 64 bit but without any audio, I don't see the point.

HP Pavilion 14z-n200 Touchsmart CTO Notebook touchscreen not working after update

More than a month ago I updated my HP Pavilion 14z-n200 Touchsmart CTO Notebook and after the required restart I noticed that the touchscreen had stopped responding.

Any help would be great! Thanks
