Sound problems after system restore

I just did a system restore to clean out my computer and bring it back to the original condition. Now, I can't get any sound from it. I have tried everything possible that I know. Time for a Geek!    All advise is welcome.  John

Sounds like you didn't also run the driver disk for your computer to get all of the hardware drivers back. You can go to the manufacturer of your computers website to re download drivers, or if you have a "drivers and applications" or something like that, disk, you can run that through to install them.

  • Creative Cloud install problems after system restore on Window 7

    I can not reinstall my apps with the application manager because it says they are already installed.  The directories they were installed in are deleted.  How do I reinstall.  I have reinstalled Application manager.

    It seems that AAM and CS 6 apps were not removed properly.
    In order to remove them completely follow this : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    After running cleaner tool , goto creative.adobe.com website and then try installing applications again.
    Hopefully this time it should work !!

  • Checking for updates after System Restore

    After installing updates in September I had several problems, but system restore got things working again.  However, when I check for updates now the system appears to see the updates that were removed by system restore as if they are still installed or, as if they are available on the machine and therefore not needed.  I thought system update checked for updates based on current machine status.
    Would system restore typically leave updates on the machine such that an update check may see them as not needed?
    Is there a way to change settings or reset the update catalog to check for updates NOT currently installed?
    Thanks - John

    Hi,
    I have not delved deep enough to say which item actually holds the list of active Chats or Conversations in the side bar.
    The chat.db item itself is the one that hold the "history" that shows up when your start a chat with someone you have chatted to before in iMessages.
    You need to have Saved Chats  in the Archive folder for this to work with AIM, Jabber, Yahoo and Bonjour Buddies.
    Apple's own documentation tends to refer to iMessages as Conversations and any other account as Chats.
    The exception now being SMS/text which the app Links to iMessages.
    If you just Restore the whole computer to the last day you ran OS X 10.10.1 then it should have all the Chats/Conversations you were having that day.
    However changing them by effectively Importing the newer ones (those up to the last time you used OS X 10.10.3beta) will upset things.

  • How to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

    how to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

    Hi,
    You can reinstall them from Recovery Manager by clicking on Start=> All Programs.
    If you have performed a complete HP Recovery using F11 then all the software should be there. If you have performed a minimized recovery then you can install applications from recovery manager...If none of these works then you'll need USB recovery..
    Here are the links that will guide you through the process:
    Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
    Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    Order USB Recovery
    Note:
    If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem
    Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

  • After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?

    After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
    P.S
    i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
    Thanks

    The "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
    Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
    * C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
    The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.

    hi Jain,
    you may need to check the transfer structures,
    right click infosource and 'change', click 'comm.structure'/expand,
    click 'transfer', move the 0BASE_UOM from left to right side,
    or if you wont use the comm structure anymore, you can right click infosource and 'delete comm structure'
    hope this helps.

  • Sound problems after export media in premiere pro cs6

    hello,
    i recently started usining premiere c6 and after exported my project to mpeg-dvd i noticed that sound quality is reasonably lost,  than exported sound  separatedly without video to wav and result was the same bad. The imported sound source was really good, recorded in studio- wav 24 bit 48000. Before i used cs3 and never had such a sound problem after export video.
    thank you very much,
    Poly

    It's difficult to speculate without hearing the original and the export.  Can you upload them?

  • Problems reinstalling after system restore.

    Hey. I tried to address this with the Adobe helpdesk, but I couldn't get through the process. The system seems to be under the impression I don't own an adobe product.
    Anyway, I've been having some problems recently with cs3. I bought it about one year ago, and after some initial snafus, it worked like a dream.
    Recently, though, a virus got into my computer and I had to do a system restore. I set it up so that all of my programs and preferences would be left alone. After all of this was over, I tried to start cs3, and it wouldn't start. I just got the generic '(insert program name here) had encountered a problem and needs to close.'. I wasn't able to deactivate it as a result, and removed it from my computer. I put the disc back in, and it refused to install properly. The shared components were all that made it.
    Is the problem that it wasn't deactivated? If so, how can I do that without the program itself?
    Help?

    >Sarah Modisette:Is the problem that it wasn't deactivated? If so, how can I do that without the program itself?
    It doesn't sound like a decativation problem--more likely some module or the registry has been corrupted. Did you try the Photoshop CS3 clean script? You can get the script from Adobe. It can remove all traces of PS CS3 from your machine which should allow a re-install to complete successfully.
    If you get it installed you may still need to go through Adobe Customer Support to get it activated. You are allowed two activated installations. If this is your only installation then the activation may proceed without problem. If it isn't the first then you will likely have to call ACS and let them know of the difficulties--Adobe Support is the only group that can help with activation issues.
    A valid serial number
    should be all you need to get help with activation/installation issues from Adobe.

  • IPhone 4g - No sound after system restore?

    Hi, I've pretty much looked everywhere that i know for a solution to this problem. A few weeks ago, i dropped my phone and cracked the screen. When i had it repaired, everything on it worked fine. I was able to make calls, use gps, vibrations, ect. So, i thought if i did a restore, it would return all of my programs back to my phone (i was mistaken xD).
    Anyways, after the restore, all of my audio completely stopped working. No sound from either speaker. If i tried running any programs like pandora or youtube, i get "this video cannot be played" or "Pandora has encountered a problem". I couldn't figure out what would cause that, so i pretty much freaked out and tried a bunch of things that didn't work. I know it's not stuck in headphone mode because it doesn't say headphones when i turn the volume up, and headphones dont even work. Eventually i clicked "Reset all settings" and it made the audio work again. However, the audio stopped working after about 4 hours. I tried it again, with no luck. I've tried restoring from a fresh install of itunes on a new user account, that didn't work either. I'm really stuck in a bind here, because i can't tell if this is a hardware issue or a software issue? The hardware seems to be working fine, because it's weird that both the top and bottom speakers wont work. When i make phone calls i dont even have the option for speakerphone mode.
    I really don't know what to do from this point, my phone isn't under warrantee anymore. Any help would be much much appreciated.

    Hi, im the user Ima_putake- this is my original account but i was locked out of it. The problem persists, and i still have not been able to find help. I brought the phone to a repair center and they were bafffled, offered me no help at all.
    I'd like to add to my original post that not only do the speakers not work, but the flashlight doesnt either. The camera works when taking pictures, but freezes up if i switch to video. I can accept text messages and use my gps, and i can also accept calls but there is no audio or options. The phone also randomly reboots itself, in addition to occasional freezing. Any programs that run video will freeze up and crash when the video trys to play, including advertisments.
    please help me or point me to somewhere that i can get help, i dont want to buy a new phone.

  • Problems re-installing LeanPrint after system restore

    How do you do this? I had to do a full system restore on my laptops, and now I cannot get leanprint to work. I get the error message that "This Adobe LeanPrint license is active on two other computers. The activation grace period for this additional computer has expited. Deactivate an instance of the license or contact Adobe."
    I have called (no answer), emailed (auto-reply), and have been on hold for more than an hour for someone to assist me in the "chat window".
    Can anyone out there help??

  • After system restore to back up have lost texts, photos and app data

    Speakers not working on iphone all of a sudden and volume switches not working (just the volume comes up but no bars at the bottom).  So did system restore and more problems.
    After I did this restore (to my backup done today) to my iphone 4s, I now have no text messages on my phone, no photos and no data on my nike running app (6months of records of runs).  Have searched through these forums and still stuck.
    I think I'm going to have to take my iphone somewhere for the speaker issue, but have no idea where as optus sent it out to me directly via mai l(Adelaide, Australia).  
    In the meantime, I really want my texts, photos and app data back on my phone.
    any help HUGELY appreciated..

    thanks for your reply.  I am trying the restore again now.
    But no, I still have no sound, so it was all for naught.  Its fine if I have headphones in, and fine if its in a dock or connected to bluetooth, the phone also rings and I can hear people on the phone:  the only sound that doesnt work is music playing through the speaker, and video.  Also when I press the volume up and down buttons, nothing works.  I suspect there is something wrong with the docking connection as far as I can see from other peoples questions on here.
    But the loss of texts and app data is just the icing on the cake

  • Unable to Load Windows After System Restore from BIOS freeze

    I have a pavilion G6 that froze after a BIOS Update ran. Here's what happened and here is what I did:
    Uninstalled HP printer software; upon reboot, BIOS Update appeared and ran.
    Upon reboot, Win 7 froze @ Welcome screen.
    I was instructed this am on this forum to press F8 and do a system restore, which I did.
    This appeared to work until about 30 mins ago when it began freezing again and opening to Safe Mode screen.
    Now what??

    Hi
    Workaround:
    There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
    Restart and tap F2.  F2  will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
    BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
    Fix if BIOS Management is not available
    i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
    iii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
       If none of the above worked then most likely we need to bench the notebook as system will not boot from recovery discs.
    Let us know how it goes!
