Sound quality is not as it used to be! after installing windows 8.1

i have a hp envy 6-1002tx laptop which came with windows7 HB but i upgraded to windows 8.1 recently.
since then the sound qualtiy is not the same as it used to be.. it's not loud any more. i have to keep the voulme at 100 to listen. while back when i was using windows 7, even on 60, it was loud enough to be aublible.
i have installed the sound driver recommended by the HP site for my laptop.
there is no support for windows 8.1 from HP.

I completely agree!
Not only that but if you look at the date of the audio driver, it was released almost a year before W8.1 came out!
So, how can it be for W8.1?
Just for kicks, try this driver from a very new model with the IDT audio...

  • How can I return to use OSX (Yosemite) after installing Windows 8.1?

    How can I return to use OSX (Yosemite) after installing Windows 8.1?
    I cannot find Boot Camp on my iMac (late 2013) with windows installed. So I downloaded it, but I cannot run it because of an error (x64...). I tried to use my USB stick with bootcamp installed but nothing. When I turn my iMac on it starts automatically with windows. I tried to search it, but I found only the setup and it doesn't work. How can I get back to my APPLE iMac? How can I use OSX?
    Excuse me for the (maybe) uncorrect language, I speak Italian.

    Hello!
    You can start your Mac up with the [alt] (sometimes [option]) key pressed and you will get the Startup Manager.

    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

  • A lot of problems after installing Windows XP using Boot Camp on a Mac Book

    I have been having a lot of problems after installing Windows XP Home Edition (2002).
    For one, after installing Windows using Boot Camp with Mac OS X 10.5.1, I opened Windows on my Mac Book, inserted the Mac OS X Disk 1 as in the instructions and got the message: +"This package requires a newer version of the Windows installer. Do you want to update the version of the Windows Installer on your system?"+ When I clicked Yes (I had NO idea what it meant at the time), I got the message: "The required resource 'UPDATE' is missing" and the Installer quit.
    How do I fix this problem?
    Another problem I have is that there is no sound on the Windows XP, yet it works perfectly on Mac OS X. Is there any way to fix this problem?
    A third problem I have is that I can't wirelessly connect to the internet using Window XP, yet I can on Mac OS X. I have no idea on how to fix this, and it's really messing with me. D:<
    D: There are way too many problems, and I have a feeling there will be a lot more later on. Help....

  • NO SOUND AFTER INSTALLING WINDOWS 8.1

    Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help.  My sister has a compaq 58 laptop and after installing windows 8.1, now has no sound.  The sound was there when 8.1 was installed but after logging off and logging back on again, the sound disappeared.  We reinstalled windows 8.1 and same thing happened.  We have run scans and got sound again but once again logging off and logging back on again, the sound disappeared, very frustrating.
    The product code is DOX18ea#abu and serial number [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
    help would be much appreciated.

    Devina,  This seems to be a common problem with Windows 8.1. It does not save a working state when logging off. I was afraid to touch my pc when the AUDIO was in a working state. However Microsoft logged me off with no fear and did not save the working state. What a great "glutware" corp. Having said that when the AUDIO is working it appears to work great! Sure wish HP/MICROSOFT could get their act together. Can you say "BASE BAND" , "DSP", "FIR" ETC. Well they think they know the fancy stuff. Now if they could just get it to function for normal people. Can you say "KISS".
    ham123 ps: just send it back!! for total care!!!

  • Installed and used Gravity (once after installing-...

    Installed and used Gravity (once after installing-) but not able to find in menu/prog. manager?
    Ovi Store says it is installed but now nowhere to be found on the 5230.
    Help please - this is a really cool app. that I am keen to keep using.

    As Chanchan says viruses don't affect S^3 phones , so if you had one , you wouldn't need to worry ! Fortunately they don't affect S60 5th edition phones either If you purchased Gravity you will have a licence attached to your phones imei numberand so can download and re-install again free of charge, as the licence will be recognised by the application, which should appear in the applications folder on your phone, or in one of the folders in there, the latest version of Gravity is available here

  • No sound from right speaker on Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8

    I've had no sound from right speaker on my HP Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8. I've checked all drivers, and have done the sound test in sound properties (left speaker beeps fine, but then nothing from the right). Anyone else having this problem/found a solution?!

    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/sp59001-59500/sp59154.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, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then 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 in both speakers.
    Regards,

  • Scanning PDF to computer after installing windows 10 not working

    Equipment: Pavilion 23 and HP Officejet 6600 (all in one) After installing Windows 10 the printer/scanner can not send (scan to computer) a PDF.  The HP 6600 screen DOES show the computer under the "Scan to" list then once pressed it briefly says "accessing computer" with the HP logo and a spinning thing around it, then the next screen shows a list of options for document format (PDF is the first one and the one I regularly used before Windows 10).  Choosing "Save as PDF" brings up a "Confirm Start Scan" screen, pressing "Start Scan" brings up "Prepairing to scan" with the HP logo and spinning thingy again then the next screen, "Scan Unsuccessful" and below that "The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues - Connection to the computer is lost - The scan application on the computer is currently in use - OCR application is not installed on the computer - See the computer monitor for details"  no details are on the monitor? I have tried the solutions listed here like S**/scannow (DOS ADMIN level,  100% ok) ,  also the "dependent settings" I know this is a Windows 10 issue because it (the HP 6600) has worked flawlessly until this "Upgrade".  Yes, I uninstalled the driver, yes I downloaded HP docotor, I have tried everyting on this forum and then some (i think?)please helpthank you for your wisdom OH great one(s) Other than this A huge thumbs up to Windows 10!!!! Nice work guys/gals over at Microsoft!! 

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6600 after upgrading to Windows 10. I am happy to help!  To verify the printer's hardware is working properly, are you able to make copies from the scanner glass? Copying a Multipage Original in Order (Collating). In the meantime, please try the steps in this guide, A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer Series (H711), and follow the steps for Windows 8, as they will work on Windows 10.  Hope this guide helps, and hope to hear from you soon!  “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

  • After install Windows 10, the texts in Skype are not very neat, with low definition

    After  install Windows 10, the texts in Skype are not very neat, with low definition. This has happend just with Skype. Do you know how I can fix it?

    I HAVE FOUND A FIX! Searching through the support blogs paid off in a big way. A minor registry edit is all it took and my drive is working like new! Here's the fix. My system is Windows 10 64-bit.  Resolution 5: Create a registry subkey
    Note To use this method, you must be logged on to Windows as an administrator. If you need help verifying that you are an administrator, go tohttp://support.microsoft.com/gp/admin
    Important Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.
    To create the registry subkey, follow these steps:
        Press the Windows logo key + R to open the Run box. (or right-click on windows icon in lower left corner)
        Type regedit in the Run box, then press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow
        In the navigation pane, locate the following registry subkey:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi
        Right-click atapi, point to New, then click Key.
        Type Controller0, and then press Enter.
        Right-click Controller0, point to New, and then click DWORD(32-bit) Value .
        Type EnumDevice1, and then press Enter.
        Right-click EnumDevice1, click Modify....
        Type 1 in the Value data box, and then click OK.
        Exit Registry Editor.

  • Using Boot Camp to install Windows XP: problems with display going blank

    I have a new Mac mini (early 2009) connected to an older NEC MultiSync LCD (VGA only) display through a KVM.
    I initially used the Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to make the display connection.
    All worked fine with Mac OS X, but when I attempted to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP (Home), the display would go blank with the display saying "no signal" at some point during the install and I couldn't get the mini's display back without power cycling the mini. Numerous attempts at removing the Boot Camp partition, re-partitioning, and retrying resulted in nothing but frustration. I typically had to force the mini to boot from the OS X install DVD or Mac partition to make the mini usable again.
    I have used my LCD display and KVM combination with a variety of computers running a variety of operating systems, including older Mac minis running both Mac OS X and XP, with no problems. And I intend to keep using it, so I wasn't going to assume the problem was there!
    After noting that Apple had already released a [firmware update|http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mini_DisplayPort_to_VGA_FirmwareUpdate] for this adapter to address "[possible intermittent flickering and compatibility issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3492]", I double checked that it was up to date--and it was. But, it made me suspicious that this adapter might have some more problems and be the source of the troubles I was experiencing.
    So, I got an Apple Mini-DVI to VGA adapter and tried that.
    No more display problems! Everything works fine with Mac OS X. Windows XP installed without so much as a flicker, and it works smoothly with my setup.
    I'm curious if I'm the only one who was affected by this problem?

    Restart your Mac while holding down the Alt/Option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
    Choose to boot OSX.
    Use the BootCamp Assistant to remove the Windows partition.
    Go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and rest the default to be your OSX volume.
    Reboot your Mac again.
    Follow the instructions from here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173 and use the BootCamp Assistant again to install Windows 7
