  • Sound volume keeps changing

    Hi,
    I bought my hp dm4-3055dx 2 weeks ago and I have problems with the sound ever since the beginning. I'm using the pre-installed Windows 7 64 bit OS.
    The problem with the sound is the following: The sound volume keeps changing. Sometimes it seems to me that it's oscillating. The Windows volume (in the tray) is constant though. For example, when I turn the volume of my Winamp player to 1% the volume of the sound decreases, but after some seconds it starts increasing until it hits the Windows maximum volume, then it starts oscillating a little bit. Increasing the Winamp volume doesn't change anything, cause it's already the Windows maximum. But when I turn it down again, there's again a change. But as I described before, the volume will go up slowly to the Windows maximum. I have encountered the same problem with the VLC player, so I guess it's not a software problem.
    I already downloaded the sound driver and installed it but there was no change. Any idea what that could be?
    Cheers

    Any response here?  I am having the same problem in that the sound constantly fluctuates up and down as I am trying to listen, no matter if I listen through Spotify or ITunes.  It is very frustrating and I am seeing similiar posts for many models, especially considering this was marketed as a Beats Audio laptop with superior sound performance.  I have the Pavillion dm4-3055dx.

  • Sound output: keeps changing from internal speakers to Apple TV

    My iMac keeps changing the soudn output from internal speakers to Apple TV. Why. This makes it a pain. Eveytime I use the iMAc, I have to go into preferences>sound>output and switch to internal speakers. Any ideas how to stop this form happeneing?
    Thanks!

    If you use LogMeIn, it is their sound driver.  I'm having identical problem and it started after using LogMeIn.

  • Sound input keeps changing

    I have a VXI Parrott Translator USB mic. It works fine for everything, including iChat. The only problem I have is that under the sound input options, it shows as 3 devices – External Line Connector / Microphone / External Line Connector & Microphone.
    The problem is that when I start an audio iChat, the input automatically switches to the first option, which doesn't actually receive any audio. I can then switch it to the second option and have the conversation. When the conversation finishes, it switches to the first option again.
    Any thoughts of how to get it to stay with the "Microphone" source? I've tried this both on my Mac Pro (10.5.5) and eMac (10.4.11).

    Hi,
    So despite the Pic I found it does not have something like this ?
    http://www.vxicorp.com/storefront/pc-237-32-talkpro-2-way-usb-pod.aspx
    From the manufacturer's site.
    I can not see the Translator on their site
    May This has replaced it.
    However it still does not look like you can connect one jack to the Line In and another to the USB port which is what I was thinking about.
    It is the iChat Preferences that Change ?
    The choice would be kept in the com.apple.ichat.plist and I suppose there is a chance it is not being written to that file properly.
    GO to your Home Folder (Little House iCon) and the Preferences folder.
    Choose a view method where you can see the Modification date/time.
    Does it list the time you last changed it ? (It should change the time in front of you if you do it while that folder is open)
    (You can always click on the Modification column header to highlight/use that column)

  • Flash player preferences keep changing

    Hi everybody,
    My Flash Player preferences (in the preferences pane) keep returning to the default settings after i have made changes to the settings. It seems to take about a week between the time i set the preferences till they return back to the default settings.
    As an example, about a week ago i set the "Storage" tab to "Block all sites from storing information on this computer." Last night i checked the preferences and this same tab had been changed back to the default choice, "Allow sites from storing information on this computer." Same thing for the "Camera and Mic" tab, i check the "block all sites", then in a week or so it goes back to "Ask me."
    This is occuring across all the tabs in the Flash Player preferences.
    Any ideas?
    Paul

    FredtheRed,
    This discussion is almost two years old - and, hopefully, the OP had his/her problem 'fixed' sometime between those years.
    Which version of Flash Player are you using and what exactly are your problems?

  • Language & Text Preferences keep changing

    I have Mac OS 10.6.5 installed and I'm having some trouble with my Format preferences. I set it to Brazilian and it changes back to US Format for no reason, so when I'm using Excel 2011 I keep getting US$ 2,100.00 instead of R$ 2.100,00, for instance.

    when I'm using Excel 2011
    I'm not sure sure that MS stuff uses the Mac system settings. You might want to see if it has its own. Also there is a forum devoted to their problems:

  • Expose Preferences Keep Changing Themselves

    I have Active Screen Corners activated for Expose. However the upper left corner keeps unactivating itself. Is there any way for me to track this preference in the system to see what is modifying it?

    I'm having this same problem on a dual 1.25 g4 running 10.4.7 - my exposé settings aren't being remembered it seems, much as you have described.
    Mine however have a regular pattern to them - it happens after each launch of a game I run on that machine, World of Warcraft. I reset the exposé settings, they work fine, but after I launch and quit the game, they are back to all turned off. I'm sure it has something to do with the way the game overrides regular keyboard commands/bindings. Not that big of a deal, just though I'd throw it in there that it happens on my machine too, and why.
    I'll try deleting that .plist file, thanks for the tip.

  • Network Preferences keep changing

    Hello All
    Every time I start up my old G3 iMac (OS 10.2), the network preferences change from "USB Modem" to "Internal Modem", this is despite the preferences being locked. Also, when I try to change back, the USB Modem isn't even listed. It usually reappears as an unchecked item in the list with a further restart.
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers

    You may have to see if doing the basic stuff helps; since a
    first thing could be to 'repair disk permissions' in the system
    using Disk Utility's first aid. Could be a minor thing and not
    something more difficult. I often boot into SafeBoot and then
    repair disk permissions, then exit disk utility, and restart.
    If the actual system is somehow corrupted - after trying repairs
    of permissions - then later, maybe try to boot from the Installer disc
    & use the Disk Utility there, different than the system's own) to
    'repair disk' and 'repair disk permissions.' That version of D.U.
    is hiding in a drop-down menu found in the menu options under
    the Installer name, after startup from the system disc media.
    Do not run the Installer itself, since that's not where D.U. is.
    And, if repairing permissions and other stuff doesn't seem to help
    and resetting PRAM/NVRAM doesn't, you may have to consider
    using the Installer and have run an 'Archive & Install' and set it to
    save user settings from the old system into a new one. Then, you
    would have a new system folder & a non-functioning previous one.
    This may require more work to get it back to where you had it; &
    it would need to be upgraded again with the 10.2.8 Combo file plus
    any security or other updates applied, too.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Bluetooth Preferences Keep Changing

    I have my bluetooth mouse preference set so that bluetooth devices won't wake the computer. About once a week, the computer decides to change it so that bluetooth devices will wake the computer. What gives? It's getting pretty frustrating.
    Also, the computer is frequently slow to discover the mouse when waking. I have to use a USB mouse, go to the bluetooth icon and set up a new device so that the computer will find the mouse.
    The mouse is a pre-mighty mouse bluetooth, and the the computer is a PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz dual CPU, running OS 10.4.10.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Bud,
    Try trashing the Bluetooth preference file, here's how:
    Locate this file: com.apple.bluethooth.plist
    It's here: /Home/Library/Preferences
    Open the Preferences folder, locate that file and drag it to the Trash. Empty the Trash and reboot.
    See if that makes a difference ...

  • 2 Libraries - Preferences Keep Changing

    Hi
    My husband and I have to use the same (new) laptop for our iPods. I've already populated my library with items on my iPod. I also created a second library for him, but when I go into Edit > Preferences for his library, the General tab shows my library's name and the Advanced tab displays my music location. I am able to change them to his information, but when I open my library, the preferences show his library name and music location. What am I doing wrong? - Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to AD!
    You are running into what I consider a big design flaw with using multiple libraries. Namely, different preferences are not allowed for different libraries within the same windows user account.
    The iTunesPrefs.XML file is stored here on XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes
    And apparently, a few other places as well.
    All the libraries use it - so they all display the same library name and use the same folders, etc. Change the preferences while using one library, and odd things could start happening in the other.
    itunes menu > help > provide itunes feedback
    I've asked for the preferences to follow the library, not the user. The more people who ask for it to be changed, the greater chance of it acutally happening.
    Meanwhile, you can look into using Method 1 from this article (you are currently using method 3). If you have different Windows accounts, the preferences will stay sorted. But you'll have to dork around sharing music between the 2 windows accounts.

  • Volume Slider in Sound Settings Keeps Changing!

    I usually keep the volume slider in settings/sound at max so I can hear the ringer when I have it on. I always did this with my original iphone and I had no problems with this. With the new phone every time I set the slider to max it will revert back to about 2/3 the way across. It does this every time I put the phone to sleep and then reawaken it, every time I take or make a call, essentially every time I do anything after exiting the settings feature. I have done the reset by holding the top button along with the Home button until the Apple logo appears and this doesn't help either. Has anyone else seen this or have a solution?
    John

    I just noticed this on my wife's iphone which was my original iphone that has been updated with the new software. I'm thinking it has something to do with the new software, that phone never did that with me prior to all this.

  • Flash Player preference settings keep changing

    Under System Preferences, my Flash Player settings keep changing every so often (every few weeks or so), in the Storage, Camera and Mic and Playback tabs.
    I have all three tabs set to Block and the settings change to Allow or Ask me.
    Why is this happening and what can I do to stop it?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This solved my problem partially, all I want is that Firefox keeps my Flash saves while I clear the history log.
    Your way works too, now, instead of clearing the history log through the browser, I use CCleaner.

  • Changing OSX default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences

    When I change the default volume setting to a higher level in sound preferences within OSX, it is back at the lower level at the next listening session the following time I use iTunes on my Mac Mini. Within System Preferences there is a section that lets you "choose a device for sound output" but the only choice I have is "line-out" and under the "port" heading there is only "built-in output"--no other choices are shown. I have external speakers attached which I like to use for listening to music as I work. What is the problem? Why won't the higher volume I set remain? Also, shouldn't more than one choice be shown for sound output?

    This sounds like the problem that I'm experiencing and <a href-"http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2694517#2694517">aske d about a couple of days ago. The sound level resets to 50% after shutdown.
    I tried setting the levels in Audio MIDI Set Up as suggested above, but that hasn't changed anything.
    In answer to B_web, I am running my external speakers through the headphone jack.
    So, any other suggestions?
