System sounds fade up slowly on HP Pavilion s3652uk with HP w2228h Screen

I just purchased a compact HP Pavilion s3652uk which I have connected via the supplied HDMI cable to a standard HP 22in monitor with built-in rear-facing speakers.  I selected HDMI output from the Realtek sound card and HDMI input for the monitor.  All drivers are reported as up to date by Windows Update and HP Update.  I am running Vista-64 bit.
When using the Test button to play a System Sound such as the Critical Stop sound, at first I thought sound wasn't working at all.  Then I discovered that if I click Test a few times, the sound fades up until it is good and loud.  Similarly, using the "Test Speakers" facility first gives the impression that a speaker is dead when the graphic is clicked, but then it fades up after nother click or so until it is very loud (because I have set everything on max).  Via the Realtek HD Audio Manager I have selected HDMI and turned off environmental effects and Equalizer effects.  No improvement.  When I play a DVD I can hear the sound normally, although I suspect this is because the sound stream is sustained therefore it has "faded up and stayed up".  This seems like it might be a compatibility problem running HDMI.  My next step is to stop using HDMI and go back to standard Video and Audio connections via separate leads, but obviously it would be nicer to use the recommended composite digital video/audio connection.
Anyone encountered this or got any suggestions?
Thanks, Richard

Thanks RasterBlaster, still not working but a tiny bit of progress.  Here's what I did:
installed the Realtek driver despite their warning to use the driver supplied by the PC manufacturer.  New driver available = Realtek Digital Output, so I selected that as Default.  No sound output, because it is supplying sound to the Orange Digital Jack but I haven't got external speakers, I have got monitor built-in speakers.
Switched default back to Realtek HDMI output and sound works but with the same fade-up problem.
Checked HP drivers and found my driver was more up-to-date than the original supplied HP driver, so I reinstalled the original one just in case the new driver had introduced a bug.  Still the same fade-up problem, unchanged.  So I did a driver update to reinstall the latest driver 6.0.1.5772 again, simply to ensure I have the latest.  Fade up problem still exists.
So, the progress mentioned is that I reckon if I went out and bought a set of external speakers with subwoofer etc, provided that they can be driven from that Orange digital jack, that may well work with the newly installed Realtek driver.  It is a bit of a risk though because if it doesn't and I opened the packaging then no doubt Comet or PCWorld will not want the speakers back.
It seems kind of weird to me that HP's own PC with HP's own monitor running their own recommended software does not work correctly.

  • HT4085 I want to make auto make the autorotation and have system sound also, how can I fixed it?

    I just update ios to 5.1.1.
    Please help

    See if this helps you understand it better.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    Hi,
    One thing can help is the following.  Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select 'Playback Devices'.  Left click the default device once to highlight it ( it's usually 'speakers & headphones' ) then click the Properties button.  Click the Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Loudness Equalization'.  Click Apply to save the change and then click OK in all remaining windows and see if this has helped at all.

  • Getting my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 back to normal after a system recovery.

    I did a system recovery for my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and have all of my files on a SanDisk thumb drive. How do I get my laptop's files, folders, shortcuts, applications, etc. all back to the way they were?

    Hello marinegf.  I understand you've lost your sound after performing a System Restore.
    What is the product number for your notebook?  There are many versions of the HP 2000 and this will make it easier for me to locate any appropriate software.  This document can show you how to identify the notebook by the product number.
    Also, it may be helpful to know what issue you encountered which led you to perform a System Restore.
    The first suggestion I can offer you is to run Microsoft's Audio Troubleshooter.  Here is a link to the utility.
    If the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the issue I suggest you next try removing the driver and allowing Windows to perform the reinstall.  I assume you're using Windows 7, so these instructions will be for Vista/7.
    Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
    Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
    Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
    Reboot your computer and allow Windows to perform the reinstallation of the driver.
    Verify whether or not you have sound and post the result!
    I'll keep an eye out for your reply.  I hope you have a great day!

  • (HELP PLEASE) System Sound & Set of External Speakers

    Hello,
    I have a HP Pavilion All-in-One and in the past we've had no problem with neither the system sound or a set of speakers we've hooked up to it. Now suddenly I can only hear audio is I turn it up to 95 or above to hear it at any volume worth listening too, but turning it up that high used to almost blow you out.
    Some changes or differences I "think" I notice are when you click on the volume icon in the sys tray, there is only one "mixer" but if you click on that it shows two things, which I don't think it has described them like this before, but it shows like the picture below.
    I don't recall ever seeing the "Applications - System Sounds" before. But we can't get the extra speaker set to work and I remember turning the volume up to 6 if I wanted to hear it without disturbing anyone else in the house.
    Anyone have any suggestions? The only thing that I know that was changed lately was we switched to AT&T internet but I believe the external speakers worked fine after the installtion. Any help would be appreciated!!

  • How do I turn off system sounds in Audition?

    Hi,
    I have all the Windows system sounds turned off in Control Panel --> Sounds. But every time I click something in Audition, I get one of the sounds - piano chord hit, bell, etc. It's annoying to try to mix and have to wait for some of these sounds to fade out (the piano sound takes nearly 10 seconds to go away). This is only happening in Audition, no other programs on my computer.
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks!

  • System sounds through the Bluetooth headset while listening to audio

    Not sure if anyone had this issue, I have read a few about cars and bluetooth connections but no mention of system sounds not operating.
    I was using Motorola S9 bluetooth headset and the music was fine, but after I returned home I noticed that I had missed several text and some email notifications. The sounds operated correctly without the headset connected so, my only guess is would it be related to the Bluetooth operation?
    Thanks, Joe.

  • After upgrading to itunes 7.3.2 system sound does not work

    I recently upgraded my itunes to 7.3.2 and the sound worked for a short time. it then began to cut on and off until ceasing to work completely after a day or so. I have run diagnostics and my computer can produce sound, but not in any programs or any of the system sounds. i reinstalled windows xp and the sound worked, but when i installed itunes again the sound once again stopped completely. i have checked all the drivers, codecs, hardware etc. and they seem to be in order. what is going on?

    I really struggled with this one and my IT people couldn't help.  They suggested that I add my secure corporate website to the Java Exceptions Sites, and use the Java client, but that didn't work.  I tried the CITRIX Native CLient (ICA Client) and that didn't work either.  So, I searched my Mac for all of the instances of CitrixICAClient, or anything else with ICA in it.  I then deleted all of those files, shut down Safari, rebooted my computer and tried again to log into my corporate site using the Native Client conenction option.  I remembered from years ago, that the first time you try to connect using the native client, that Citrix plugin is downloaded.  THat's exactly what happened and I haven't had any more problems.  So apparently, you have to clean up a little adn make sure that any "old" citrix products are removed.

  • System sounds do not work since upgrade to ML 10.8/10.8.1

    Hello.  Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I have the persistent problem of my system sounds not working, after my laptop sleeps.  Fresh after a restart, they will work..then, after screen saver or sleep, they will not. 
    Here's what doesn't sound:
    - Apple mail sounds (sending, receiving)
    - alert sounds
    - Sys Pref -> Sound -> any/all sound effect selection
    - screen capture click
    Here's what always works fine:
    - the pop-pop-pop sound when I increase/decrease the volume
    - iTunes
    - any sound from audio/visual embedded in browsers
    - sound from all 3rd party apps
    Internal speakers are selected
    No problem throwing out sound to airplay, etc.
    No problem with non-system non-Mail sounds
    All sounds work fine after a restart...but after a sleep or a screen saver, they will cease working until the next restart.
    MacBook Air, 10.8.1 (also was noticed under 10.8)
    1.7 GHz, 4 GB
    I do see posts where people are experiencing the same, but no real solutions.  I have found & trashed the prefs file (from other posting solution) but that did not solve this persistent issue.  The sounds always DO work fresh after restart...just after sleeping, they do not.  Thank you  :-)

    Yeah, just to keep everyone breathlessly updated: there has been no fix for me.
    Amusingly (mostly not..) on the plane yesterday, when I plugged in my headphones, I was greeted with about 3 weeks' worth of Sent Mail and Alert tones.   Good times. 
    The fix involving Audio MIDI Setup and momentarily changing the internal speakers integer dropdown list used to occasionally work for me...but lately it has not. I'm just making do with no mail sounds, like a chump.  How I wish GrowlMail worked with 10.8 because I could get my sounds that way. 

  • How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds

    How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds it will only give me the option to choose wav?

    Windows 7 uses .wav (wave) files for the sound events. The default folder that Windows 7 uses to store the sound files in is located at C:\Windows\Media.
    You cannot use a MP3 file but there are lots of (WAV to MP3 converters) available on internet which can help you to convert MP3 to wav  serving your purpose of changing system sound.

  • Lag when system sounds play on Retina MacBook Pro

    I have a problem on my Retina Macbook Pro (Mid 2012, running on 10.9 Mavericks) that has persisted for quite some time.
    Essentially the problem is that whenever an application plays a system sound, the application lags for a few seconds. However, this comes and goes.
    For an example of what I mean, the lag happens when I make the following actions:
    - Deleting a file in Finder (Trash sound should play)
    - Using a 'find' prompt in an app like Chrome, Xcode, TextEdit, and entering a string that cannot be found. That is, the lag occurs when I type the character that causes no result to be found. (Beep should play)
    - Pressing 'delete' (backspace) in any app's text field with no text present (Beep should play)
    - If I go to System Preferences -> Sound, and select a new 'alert sound' in the Sound Effects tab, the lag occurs and the Console prints "System Preferences[52828]: Error 268435460 setting AlertSound"
    While my computer is in 'problem' mode, every single app is guaranteed to lag when these events happen.
    But as I said, the problem comes and goes. It first happened after I had to reinstall one day. I think I screwed something up with preferences, permissions and such, because it took a while for me to fix everything up. But I don't think I quite fixed everything, because this problem started to occur ever since then.
    The problem will appear for days or weeks at a time and then disappear for weeks. Just now I'm posting this thread because it had actually gone away for months, and just reappeared today. Nothing that I have found can explicitly start or stop this problem from occurring, it's seemingly random.
    Does anybody have any idea why this would occur, and what can be done to fix it other than a complete clean reinstall?
    Thanks!

    Sorry wrong post to this thread.
    Now the right post.
    No OS X can not use all 8GBs of RAM when the Windows Virtual Machine is running. As long as the Win VM is up and running it take all the RAM you allocated to it. So if you allocated 2GBs of RAM to the VM OS X can only use the other 6GBs. As for the CPUs OS X can use all the cores and or Virtual core as all current Intel CPUs show as double the physical number of cores. So if you have a Dual Core i5 it will look like you have 4 cores. It's done with HyperThreading.

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • Lost system sounds, then all sound gone even after installing a Live! 24-bit ca

    I'm having a migraine over a computer at work. It has Windows Xp Pro installed as the OS, and originally had an integrated sound card. At some point, before I was even hired in, the system sounds stopped playing. The BIOS for the machine showed that sounds were On. The Windows Default sound scheme was selected, nothing was muted, volume was cranked, no system sounds. When you even tried to test system sounds in Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Sounds Tab, the Play button was greyed out. At one points CD's and other sounds could be played. Now nothing plays, with an error stating the device is not working properly, or is in use. So today I installed a SoundBlaster Li've! 24-bit PCI card. Card went in, installed all the drivers, installed all software from the install CD, opened the Creative sound manager to test the speakers. Clicked the 'Channel' button and 'Left Channel' was heard from the left speak, and 'Right Channel' from the right. Clicked the noice button, both speakers played noise. So card works and speakers work far as I know. However same old story with system sounds and any other sound, no matter the sound file type. Cannot play music from a CD. I've tried disabling the old integrated sound device, still no luck. I've never had this much trouble over sound, and of course as luck would have it the machine is for a user with a ton of sensiti've and very important data so I want wiping the system to be an extreme last resort (the user is also important enough to bother with the demand for sound for the sole purpose of hearing the .wav sound played when Outlook gets a new e-mail otherwise I would not have spent more then 5 seconds dealing with this.) Anyone have any tiny clue as to what could effecti'vely tell a machine it's not allowed to play any sound whatsoever?

    well.....in what ways it isn't good and what are you comparing it with?
