Sound won't work properly under Windows XP

Under Bootcamp (Windows XP SP 3, fresh installed) the sound from the right loudspeaker is a LOT louder than the sound from the left one. Under Mac OS everythings seems to be normal.
What could that be? Especially when I play games under windows it sounds awful.

TB display devices don't work properly under windows

I went out and picked up a TB display last night to pair with my 2011 mbp. I live in windows about 80% of the time and expected there to be no issues with the basic usb hub built into the display – unfortunately that does not seem to be the case. My Apple usb keyboard (also brand new) and dell usb mouse both hang/freeze/work erratically when connected to the back of the display, as does my Jabra pro headset.
I can make the behavior 10 times worse simply by using hardware built into the display, such as the display's facetime camera. If I fire up Lync and start a video chat, my keyboard and mouse become nearly unusable. My basic testing under Lion appears to confirm this is an issue with Apple’s boot camp drivers as things work properly under OS X. Problem occurs both with win7 and win2008r2, I have rebuilt both OSes twice to confirm.
The firmware/drivers of the display itself appear to be the problem. The peripherals work fine plugged directly into the laptop. Thunderbolt itself appears to be the root of the issue, as the facetime camera exhibits the same pauses/lags even with no peripherals plugged into the display (unless the facetime cam is a usb device and not a pci-e device, in which case perhasp the usb implementation is to blame). Hope there will be a firmware/driver fix soon.

I have marked this as answered as it was more a post to help others who may have experienced the same problem I did and didn't get a reply or just didn't know that this program could be the reason their Windows Mail has issues that can't seem to be resolved any other way apart from ignore them and hope they don't get worse.

Deskjet D2666 won't work properly on WIndows 7

Hello,
I have just bought a HP Deskjet D2666 printer, and i have problems when i trying to print on my PC.
My PC is running windows 7 32 bit.
I have already try the solution that was offered from the HP website, installing the windows 7 proper driver, but it still won't work. When the printing process begins, it stuck halfway, and it won't move at all and no response.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Big Thanks.

Hi,
The CD was born before Windows 7 therefore it knows nothing about Windows 7. Please download the following package and install on your Windows 7 machine:

Hp PSC 750Xi Won't work properly in windows 8.1 ???

I just updated from windows 7 to 8.1 and now I cannot get my Hp PSC 750xi working right...It says error everytime I go to print something and then it prints the first couple inches and thats it..
I have reinstalled the drivers over and over and ran the Doctor install from HP over and over....
Is there an archive of older drivers from HP so I can run it under win 7 compatability mode??
I cannot find one??
I build computers so I am not stupid but this one is driving me nuts I have spent hours on this....Help please

Hi there @Lou777555 , welcome to the forums
The only suggestion I have in mind would be to complete all of your Windows Updates and try printing again with your PSC 750xi.
This model does not have an in-OS driver available, so there is a chance that the printer might not work. If not, I'd suggest looking into a printer upgrade or a OS downgrade.

Damaged DVDs won't play under OS X (works fine under Windows)

I have started to rent my DVDs online and so far for the past two weeks it has been fine. Today though I got one which was a bit scratched. I popped it in and it was detected but wouldn't play as it couldn't be read very well (well it did play but very slowly).
I gave it a clean but this still didn't work so I tested it on my Windows machine. It worked fine on there so I took out the DVD drive and connected it using my USB to IDE adapter to my Mac.
I then popped the DVD into there, and tried again. Same problem, it still reads really slowly on my Mac, but works fine on my Windows PC.
So I decided to try it in Parallels using the USB connect functionallity. Guess what, it works fine!
So from what I can tell it must be a software bug with OS X, I am running 10.4.9 and have all the latest updates installed.
Under OS X I have tried playing it with DVD Player and VLC, and also tried ripping it with Handbrake, but nothing gives good results.
Under Windows I have tried playing it with VLC and Windows Media Player 11, both of which work fine.
Any ideas?
MacBook 1.83 GHz, 1 GB Ram, 60 GB HDD Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Sorry, I will make things a bit clearer.
The Windows PC I have is a desktop PC. It works fine on there, so I took the optical drive out of there and connected it to my Mac using a USB to IDE adapter. Even when playing it from this drive (which worked fine under Windows) it still didn't work properly under OS X.
When running it through Parallels I tried it with both the Mac's internal optical drive, and via the optical drive from my Windows PC and both worked fine.
I have sent the DVD back now, so I am afraid I can't test any more solutions anybody has. In the end I just played it through Windows.
Thanks,

What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive
Microsoft Fix-it
Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
System Restore
Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
System Recovery
If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
Contact Customer Support
If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vista

;Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vistat I have just upgraded to vista and I find my sound card to be no longer functional
I have upgraded all the fri'vers I can find
SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe
creative_sbxfi_250002_vista.exe
and a couple of others that SecurityCentre found
And when I open "Surround Mixer" I get "The selected soundcard is not supprted by the application," whatever the hell that means.
Ihave spent all day researching installing rebooting, and cannot get microphone, and all the other functions "what you hear" etc to work.
What must I do to get this perfectly good sound card to work please. Vista has been out for some time now, and I would export supportingdrivers yo have been redily visible.
Thank you in anticipation.

? I guess Creative doesn't care about living up to the promise that their product is upgradeable as new technologies emerge such as VISTA. They were give plenty of warning, that it was coming out, and it has been out for some time. I guess the $700AUS I spent is down the tubes, because the lazy people at creative cannot be bothered to bring it into compatibility - AS PROMISED with "peace of mind" they said. There is no way that I will acti'vely tell people how good creative is any more. In fact I will be acti've in just the opposite.
Get of your backsides and support AS PROMISED, we deserve it, instead of giving us second rate partial compatibilities. I have wasted the best part of a week trying to get it all sorted, where do I send the bill for my time? Hvae I got sour grapes? No, I just expect decent support as promised.
I issue the challenge - ?Provide decent support and I will retract. Fair is fair. I PROMISE.

My sound won't work on my ipod 5. I plugged the speakers in and it works fine. When the headphones aren't plugged in and I turn the volume up it says that they are plugged in. Please help !

my sound won't work on my ipod 5. I plugged the speakers in and it works fine. When the headphones aren't plugged in and I turn the volume up it says that they are plugged in. Please help !

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. (this was already sugested) There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Has anyone gotten DLNA to work properly with Windows 7 x64 ?

Has anyone gotten DLNA to work properly on Windows 7 64 bit and Windows Media Player 12? I got it working, sort of. It's not reliable though, and very slow. It drops the connection a lot, and when I go to engage it it connects about half of the time and half of the time it won't see the Media Server. It also times out when trying to scan my (admittedly large) music directory on my PC.
I'm sure that my hardware is ok, I think that DLNA is just a buggy system. But if anyone has it working properly with Windows 7 x64 and WMP 12 can you tell me exactly how you set it up? And if you used another desktop app besides WMP can you tell me what worked for you?
Thanks!

Try setting it up like this. Hope this helps!

IPOD won't work properly if drive C: is available on your computer

The Windows XP driver for the Apple IPOD USB Device has a bug that makes your system very slow or even hang when you try to connect or eject your IPOD if Drive "C:" is available on your machine. Another symptom is that when you connect your ipod, the computer doesn't automatically launch the ITunes app and it is very slow to open manually.
A typical problem is that if your system has had a hard drive replaced and/or the drive "C" is not assigned for some reason, then the IPOD USB Driver will attach itself as drive "C:" and then it won't work properly seemingly because of conflicts with the Windows OS. Other USB devices never grab drive "C:" but this Apple-supplied device driver appears to think it is OK to use drive C: but then it doesn't work properly.
The fix is to make sure some real (physical) drive is always connected to or mapped to drive "C:" so that the IPOD USB driver attaches to a drive from "D:" and up.
Also try reading: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499 for more info.

yeah, the ipod normally gets assigned the f, g, or h drive letters. i don't really know though if windows is responsible for assigning the drive letters to usb devices or the ipod driver. to my understanding the ipodservice.exe only makes sure that itunes can comunicate to the ipod through the drive letter that windows assigns to the ipod. windows is the os and therefore responsible for managinig its drive letters.

HP 6120n Sound won't work bought replacement sound card not sure of what to do

HP 6120n - Using win 7 - Sound won't work
Tried restarting and Troubleshooter and it not not solve the problem
Bought used replacement sound card (30 day warranty) but not sure of what to do to install it or even if it is necessary

Hello @4u2bu,
I understand that the audio is not working on your HP Pavilion a6120n Desktop PC running Windows 7 and you are wondering it you should install the new audio card you purchased. I would recommend that you first try the steps set out in the HP Support document: No Sound from the Speakers or Headphones (Windows 7), which has been designed to address audio issues with computers running Windows 7.
Now if the above document does not work I would suspect a driver issue and since HP does not have audio drivers for your computer running Windows 7 I would suggest you go ahead and install the new audio card as it will have the needed drivers.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while on Spotify. Volume max. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps. Works with earpods.

My iPad 3 iOS 8.3 suddenly stopped playing sound on its speakers while I was listening on Spotify. Volume was maxxed out. Side switch not on mute. Tried rebooting thrice. Sounds won't work on other apps (Soundcloud, NPR, Clash of Clans). There are sounds when I attached my earpods. I tried the switch to mono solution on the other threads, didn't help either.
My iPad is generally muted because of classes, but when I un-mute it it works fine. It just stopped after one song, and now I can't get it to work. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi!
I've the same issue after updating to iOS 8.3. on iPad 3.
sound is working properly only with headphones attached.
when I tap on AirPlay button it says "Docking connector" while it should "iPad"
when i play with sound settings and try to change e.g. some alert sounds, sound is played and volume slider in control center magically appears.
any other app can't play sound.
is there any fix for that?
Thanks
