The Open Sound System is not working

I have installed and configured OSS following the Wiki, but I still get no sound. Any idea of what problem this is?
Thanks in advance.

Well actually, if you really performed the impossible as you stated "formatted the laptop" how could anything work?
One can format and partition a hard disk which is a component of a laptop. Without reinstallation of an OS how can anything work?
Please restate in clearer terms what you did to which component to achieve nothing working.
Identify your notebook in more concise terms than just the series number from the front. Turn your notebook over and look at the tag. Post all but the serial number from the barcoded tag.
Best regards,

My sound system does not work AFTER installing pc to tv wireless connection

my sound system does not work after installing hp pc to tv wireles device when I am using lap top for other purposes.

Hi,
You don’t install VS2010 on the client PC, then where did the Form Invoice not work? When you run it from another version of VS? Or when you run the application with application.exe?
Based on your description, one form works well, another form does not. I assume that two forms are in two different projects, then please check the .Net Framework used by the two projects. If they are different, you can use the
one used by the Form contact for Form Invoice.
Because this issue is a project issue, I recommend you to consult it on some application forum such as Windows Forms General forum for better support.
VS General Question forum mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as
WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help
System and Visual Studio Editor.

My sound system is not working after my last updates on my imac,what shall i do to get fixed?

Hello any body who can help me out here?
My sound system is not working on my imac after the last updates,
WHAT SHALL I DO FOR????

apollos211,
You marked this as solved, so chances are no one else will respond.
You can try going Applications>utilities>audio MIDI set up, output tab and check to see if built in is selected.
Also check in system preferences>sound >output and see what is selected there.
If you look in the headphone port and see a red light (this means it is in digital mode), try taking a set off headphones and plugging them in and out several times also wiggle them around gently. There is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck.
Hope this helps, if still no joy try reposting so that more contributers might check it, as once checked as solved it reduces the number of people checking.
All the best

External sound system is not working

Hi, the sound system is not working for my MacBook. It is working perfectly for my PC, however, when I plug it into my mac, every sound playing is being paused (e.g. iTunes are being paused on the second playing). What could be the issue?

That is what I am asking. It just does not make since that the Macbooks audio out/headphone plug works on some systems and not on that particular system.
If the system you are trying to use does not plug into the AC wall socket to get power then that could be one of the problems. But I believe you have try to tell us that is does plug into the AC wall plug and then plugs into the Macbooks headphone plug.
Is it possible that the Jack on the sound system you are experiencing problems with is bad?
Does the sound actually pause or just cut sound in/out similar to how a loose speaker wire might sound like?
Have you tried using this sound system on a different computer to see if the problem still exist?

I have hp laptop from last 2 days sound system is not working

hi my laptop sound system is not working i cant hear the music

How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

Tecra 9000: After SP2 installation the Yamaha sound driver does not work

Hi,
I own a Tecra 9000, with a Yamaha AC-XG sound card.
The problem is that since I installed Windows XP with SP2 included, I lost my sound.
I know also that Toshiba is aware of this situation and they have managed to post a solution for it. I've tried this solution:
Detail:
The Yamaha AC-XG driver uses PortCls function for checking the operatingsystem version. XP Service Pack 1, PortCls function is changed, then the Yamaha driver cannot get operatingsystem version correctly. The operatingsystem provides the version for Windows 95. Therefore the Operatingsystem has a blue screen. Therefore Microsoft added the workaround and illegal drivers are blocked from working on SP1. This issue also happens Windows XP SP2.
Yamaha already provides the fixed drvier to Toshiba. The fixed driver version is the following;
yacxg.sys 6.13.10.2152 with software synthesizer
yacxgc.sys 6.13.10.3152 without software synthesizer
How to fix this issue:
Install the fixed driver on a system before/after installing Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Install steps:
(1) Unzip an attached file on your hard disk.
(2) Run SETUP.EXE
(3) Click the Next button.
(4) Choose "Yes, I want to restart my computer now" and click Finish.
A toshiba engineer told me that first of all I needed to install the old driver "5.12.01.3141", and it worked out ok, but still no sound.
And then he told me to install the version "6.13.10.2152", but this went wrong. I've got the error message "Driver was not installed".
I already tried lots of different drivers, including generic and yamaha drivers.
Please tell me a good solution for this issue if possible.
Thank you very much,
Hugo

Hi Hugo
It seems today is your lucky day ;)
Thanks to Toshiba because the Toshiba computer knowledge base is a really useful area and I have found many useful document and solutions!!!
I found also a solution for your tiny issue ;)
As you said the problem is the Microsoft service pack 2. The sound driver makes some troubles after the installation of SP1 or SP2 and therefore the update is necessary!!!
Please take a look here:
Windows XP Service Pack 1a or Service Pack 2 incompatible with existing Yamaha sound driver

Hello EMANAHMED,
I see that you are having problems with the sound on your HP computer. I have some suggestions that may help with this issue.
Here is a link to some sound troubleshooting steps for Windows 8 computers. If you are still having problems with the sound and you have ran a recovery to the factory settings of the computer, I would suggest contacting HP support for repair options.

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
