Start up error and beats audio crackling after realtech driver update

I am having several issues.
If I plug in a external hard drive, the OS will not start and goes to "press esc for start up menu" in lower left corner on a black screen. I press esc and it goes to boot options. I have done what HP states and hard started my computer twice and it did not help, and I have found no other suggestion to try and fix this. I have tried everything, including a system recovery and it still goes to the start up menu options. If I disconnect the external, it will still appear, but the operating system will start up after a few seconds. Why do I have to disconnect my external to start OS. And for some reason, my external has been seated in the hardrive section of my computer, instead of the removable storage devices in my computer.
Also, after updating realtech driver, my beats audio speakers pops and cracks. I tried to roll back driver, but no changes. Please help. I dont want to go thru the trouble of sending my computer back for repair. This is really upsetting!!!! I cannot play any videos or music, because of the crackling. Why did it do that, and is it fixable. My laptop has not been jarred or dropped in any manner to have caused any damage. It started after the driver update, and even tho I rolled back the driver, it still does this.

Hi @rbuckner35 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 17t-f000 Notebook and issues with Beats Audio and startup issues. The startup looks at the USB as one of your Boot options. So it can not load anything until it know that this is not a boot device.
You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which could resolve the issue with the sound.
Here is a fix that has helped others.
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner by your time.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Beats audio irresponsive after windows 10 update

I bought an HP Envy desktop 700-400nd only a few months ago. I've been really happy with it. However, after upgrading to windows 10, I'm having problems with beatsaudio. This really is such a bummer. Windows 10 is awesome in so many ways, but I really want it to work with beatsaudio. I do have audio on my computer, but parts of the BA control panel just aren't working anymore (such as the click buttons to select different output devices). I ran windows update and SA but no updates or anything. Please HP, help and fix this as soon as possible ... thanks

I have an HP EliteBook Folio 9470m with the same issue. I read that I need an APCI driver from HP (Advanced Power Control Interface Driver) but I can't seem to find it. As a workaround, hold down the shift key as you click shut down. It's been working for me. If anyone is able to find the APCI driver from HP please let us all know. I came to try to find the driver. I hope this helps. Vinn83

Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb

Apple updates start to download and then stop inexplicably after about 4,7Mb with message download server unavailable or download file can not be read. This is a recent problem on my Macbook Pro.
Any ideas?

Your problem is that everyone seems to be using the same iTunes store account (ID). That's fine when a family wants to share purchased items, but that's the rub - everyone is tapping into the same account, so they can download whatever is available.
As for icloud accounts, icloud is designed for single user use. If multiple users share the same icloud account then all their devices will be synced together - same emails, same contacts and calendars, same notes, etc. There is no privacy or division of data in this scenario. The usual advice is for everyone to have their own ID for icloud, and share the family ID for iTunes store.

REMOVE BEATS AUDIO, LOAD GENERIC SOUND DRIVE, MAINTAIN OR REINSTALL STEREO MIX, HP ENVY, 8.1

HP Envy Touchscreen 15-k073ca Notebook (new) with Windows 8.1, Beats Audio and stereo mix Instructions as detailed as possible would be appreciated to totally remove Beats Audio from the notebook and load Windows generic sound drive. I would also like instructions on how to enable the stereo mix option which is included in the new notebook I do not know if totally removing Beats Audio also removes or adversely affects the stereo mix, if so, detailed instructions on how to repair or reinstall the stereo mix would also be appreciatedIf this becomes necessay, I would have to check with HP to see if the warranty is affected. To receive the best results with Audacity, stereo mix is required and Beats Audio has to be completely removed from the notebook. Beats Audio produces bad results when using Audacity Any response on all or part of this post would be appreciated

Hello ,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you wish to remove Beats Audio from your notebook and use the generic Windows drivers. Follow these steps:Press Windows + R.Type msconfig and click OK.Click the Start up tab.Uncheck IDT PC Audio.Click Apply.Reboot.Press Windows + R.Type devmgmt.msc and click OK.Expand Sound, Video and Game Controllers.Right click IDT device and click UninstallCheck the box to remove the driver.Reboot.This should disable the Beats Audio allowing you to uninstall it and subsequently force Windows to reinstall the generic audio drivers. Keep in mind without the Beats Audio you may not have access to the Stereo Mix feature. Is the Stereo Mix device not listed in recording devices or is it listed but showing unavailable? Typically the stereo mix feature will not work unless it is set as the default device or if the internal microphone is disabled. Let me know if this helps.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Hi, I don't know who to turn to: the person who handles all the compter stuff is out of town, This A.M.I started up Firefox and there was a message re an update, I thoght I new just to click on install and wait to re start Firefox. But what I can remember

Hi, I don't know who to turn to: the person who handles all the compter stuff is out of town, This A.M.I started up Firefox and there was a message re an update, I thoght I new just to click on install and wait to re start Firefox. But what I can remember is that another window opened and asked me to choose 'something' (an icon or banner or?), I thought I must click something (I guess I should read all clearly). Firefox did update to 3.6.4, but it also inserted some sort of what might be called a banner? But it only partly covers the right one- half of my 3 toolbars at the top of the Firefox window. It can't be used for anything as it is just a mess of colors and unknowns, except what looks like a 'top' and what I recognize as a Firefox icon (but only partly visible)!! Now, what it does do is partly hide that whole portion of the toolbars and they are hard to read and in turn make this 'thing' impossible to figure out, if I would care to? I can't find anyway to remove it or use it?? But since the Firefox icon is on it, I guess you should know what it is and how to trash it. I am sorry for this occurrence caused my my carelessness, but I'm not much of a computer person ----HELP! Thank you for any help. Judi

Photosmart C4780 - Prints extra page even after HP driver update installed

With Mavericks (OS X 10.9.4) installed, I have noticed that completed print jobs remain in the print queue for my HP Photosmart C4780 when printing from Safari and Preview. If I want to print another (different page), I usually have to delete the previous (100% complete) job from the queue so that the printer will print (I seem to recall that sometimes, with a Google Chrome browser, this is not necessary). If I close my MacBook Pro's lid (which puts it to sleep) with a completed print job remaining in the HP queue, it will then print again for a second time.
Today, I installed the driver update below, but the problem did not go away when I tried to print from Safari and Preview.
Critical HP Print Driver Update to address printing of an extraneous page - 2014-01-31 , Version1.0.0, 10.56M
Any ideas of how to solve my problem?

Sure - restart your router, your printer and your Mac. It should print faster (especially with a router restart).

Audio "crackles" after extended uptime

Hi all,
I've had a problem with my iMac (mid-2011 model [gestalt ID of iMac12,2]) basically ever since I got it... I suspect the problem is in software, not hardware, but I can't reproduce it on my MacBook Pro (mid-2010 model) running the same OS and same applications.
Specifically, the audio begins to "crackle" after extended uptime (typically around 20 days). This would only be mildly annoying except that after about a day or two of this, coreaudiod begins to take up 100% cpu and I get periodic mini-freezes of the entire system (mouse hang, clock hang, etc.) every time a sound tries to play. Each freeze takes maybe 2 seconds but it obviously gets really annoying, really quickly.
A reboot always fixes the problem, but it would be great to avoid having to do this. Both the iMac and the MBP are running the same OS (10.6.8, build 10K549), so the only thing I can guess is that this is related to a specific kernel extension that is active on the iMac but not on the MBP, since only the iMac has this problem.
One curiosity is that this seems to be a problem only when outputting via the internal speakers... if I connect headphones, I don't notice the problem (at least not in my limited testing). Not sure if a different kext handles output to headphones versus internal speakers, but if so, that could again be an indicator of the problem. (The Sound prefpane in System Preferences certainly knows the difference between headphones and internal speakers...)
Extensive Googling has led to zero results...
Does anyone have experience with this issue and/or know of a good solution, besides upgrading to 10.7/10.8? (For institutional reasons, I prefer not to upgrade at this time, if it can be avoided.)
Thanks in advance.

I take back the "curiosity" paragraph... today, the same stuttering/crackling is coming through the headphones, too. Looks like it's not limited to just the internal speakers.
This is quite maddening. I hope that someone might have an answer (besides just rebooting).
Thanks!

DAC server start-up error and Can't authenticate user

HI,
we have installed DAC server in Linux machine and client on windows. By using DAC client we restored the backup of DAC repository, DAC client was working fine still restoration and after restoring it’s not logging in. It throws error like "Can't authenticate user"
while starting DAC services in Unix server it throws an error like

MESSAGE:::/u01/DAC/jdk/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
EXCEPTION CLASS::: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
Note: since DAC client is not separately available for windows we have installed dac server also and while installing and after installing we never configured to connect to the dac server which is in Linux, we have configured only DB.
we have successfully installed OBIEE, Informatica, and DAC version is 10.1.3.4.1.
How to start the DAC services?
How to configure dac client to connect to DAC server and how to solve this "Can't authenticate user" issue?
Pls help in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

I tried dropping the data schema and create it again but still fail to authenticate.
did I grant enough privileges to the database schema?
Please help.
Thanks,
EddyLogin to DEV_DAC using the credentials from SQL Developer or sql
Then do select * from W_ETL_USER -- here you will see 2 Administrator id's listed
now run the command Delete From W_ETL_USER
Now login to dac client with Administrator and pwd which you have set earlier.

Windows 8 and Beats audio (fn+b not working)

Hi guys,
I bought a HP DM4-3114TX which came with Windows 7 on it, I upgraded this to Windows 8 Pro without keeping any settings/files (so like a fresh install).
I have been to the driver download page of the HP website and downloaded all the drivers/programmes for Windows 8, but my fn+b button doesn't work to turn on and off beats audio.
I have looked on the forums and tried a few things to get it to work but nothing has fixed it yet. I was hoping I could get some help on this please?
Many thanks!

Hey,bush1e.
You might want to make sure the Fn + Function Keys Aren't disabled in the BIOS.
http://goo.gl/3Toxe
Also, you want to update the BIOS when it comes out.

Now try this download this is for Windows 7 but sometimes it's backwards compatible. http://goo.gl/yNuEV

HP Laptop with Intel Core I5 and Beats Audio Sound Driver

So I just updated my laptop to Windows 8.1 and I think it deleted my sound driver. This has happened once before and the technology and information center on my campus fixed the problem. Now I am home for the holidays and it happened again but I do not know what they did to fix it. There is a speaker built into the laptop that has the beats audio sign on it. When I clicked on my sound settings in the control panel it said there were no devices to play audio through, but the laptop has a built in speaker. Please help, I tried rebooting and downloading a sound driver I found through these forums but neither worked.

What is the exact model of the unit? A product number can typically be found by pressing Fn + Esc (note: this is not the Windows product key).
