The sound on my HP Pavillion DV6-6B57SA has stopped working

The sound was working fine on my laptop up until a couple of weeks ago. It would work through headphones but any time I unplugged the headphones, the sound would not work.
Just recently the laptop start-up sound is audible but any other sound such as music or videos cannot be heard.
Since yesterday, the sound has stopped working completely; through the headphones or otherwise.
I don't know what to do...

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/sp58001-58500/sp58226.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.
If you still have no audio, open windows Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and open Services.  Check that the following services are all showing as Status= Started and Start-up Type= Automatic
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
If you need to make a change to any of the above, just right click the service and select Properties, then in the dropdown box next to 'Start-up type',  select Automatic and click Apply to save the change.  Then click the Start button.
Regards,
DP-K

  • The disk drive in my iMac 8,1 has stopped working, so I now use an LG 8x Slim Portable that works.  However, every time I use the LG drive, I lose contact with my Time Machine back-up drive that has to be deleted and reinstalled.  Help!

    It's not Logic that can't find them, it's your Komplete apps, though if you did exaclty as you say I can see no reason why they can't.
    Do you know where the apps installed them in the first place? I chose a non-standard locarion for mine, but I'm sure it installs sounds to your documents folder/native instruments/name of app.
    Go into the prefs of each app and choose the library location button on the library tab and point it to the relevant folder in documents/native instruments and see if that works

    Without the actual crash logs nobody can say, but chances are that your graphics hardware is to blame, so update the driver...

  • HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

    when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

    I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.

  • I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"

    I keep getting the message "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working"   I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anything online that has worked.

    Ok, lets start. The first option you gave me. Didn't work. I went into safe mode like it said (RealPlayer is not on this computer). The problem still presisted. I then made a new profile, and still the same responces. Tried default one more, no avail.
    I then prceeded to the step for the mms.cfg file.  Unfortunately, I cannot access that file. It's not readable on the computer. (Such problems with every turn I take )
    So, I then proceeded to the second option of the hardware acceleration. Talk about falling flat on my face. It wouldn't even pull up my type of flash for me to even access the settings. It gave me the little sad face stating "Adobe Flash has crashed".
    I have provided screen shots of what I get when I get the Adobe crashes.
    This is the first popup window I get whenever I start to have issues with Flash.
    This is showing what I got for the type of flash. except, first time it showed, there was the sad "Flash Crashed" face image. Notice the notification in the right bottom on the screen. That pops up everytime Flash forces close.
    This is the sad "Flash crashed" face I am talking about. And yes, I submit reports everytime I get the chance to.
    I don't know if this would help. But this popup happens occasionally with the Flash popup.
    Just an FYI; that first Flask Popup even occured everytime I went to attach an image.  Hopefully this will help figure out what's going on. Please let me know if you need more info.

  • The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

    The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro.  If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
    This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
    Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi there,
    Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
    Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
    Best Regards,

    The OS on my laptop is Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit.

    Vish,
    You may want to try one of the Java forums, as your question is specific to the JDK/JRE, and nothing to do with JDev/ADF. {forum:id=937} might be a good starting place.

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.

  • Itunes launches fine however I cannot connect to the Itunes store.  It says that Itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution.

    Everything seems fine until I try to access the ITunes store.  Then I get a message that ITunes has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution.  Then it tells me that no solution has been found and closes down Itunes.
    I can still sync music / podcasts to my ipod and iphone.  I am still getting podcast downloads automatically for the ones I have subscribed to.
    This is the first time this issue with not being able to access the Itune stores has happened to me.  I was just there 2 nights ago.

  • The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

    The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

    Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

  • I have a PC with vista home premium.  Everytime I have ever tried to access the Itunes store, I am told that 'Itunes has stopped working' and the app forces a shut down.  Any ideas?

    All suggestions by Itunes SUpport have failed (including half a dozen re-instals).  Any clues much appreciated.

  • HT1430 For some unknown reason my Apple ID password does not work when trying to down load books from the IBook or Nook Apps.  It also has stop work when trying to down load new Apps.  Any suggestions out their???

    For some unknown reason, my Apple ID Password does not work when trying to down load IBooks, Nook books, or new Apps.  Everything else seems to work.  Any suggestions out their???

    I appreciate the info and realize that the Nook App is not related to my Apple account but this too has stopped working.  My situation first started with the Nook App not down loading and then has now spread to my IBook and new app downloads.  I have checked into my ITunes account and the ID and password are correct  and at times when I am asked to submit my Apple password such as setting up this Apple Support Community the ID and password work.  My problem seems to be just with trying to use my ID and password when wanting to download new books or apps.  I can go into the IBook, Nook, and App stores and seemingly download an item but when clicking on the new book or app nothing happens and I get a message that states it can not get into the ITunes store and it wants me to either try again or cancel.  This message appears usually ten minutes after I have tried to make a purchase.  At other times when I attempt to download a book or app I lose the screen and the IPad goes into the opening screen.  Short of redoing my Apple account or deleting an app and attempting to reload the app (but this won't work because the App store won't load new apps) I don't have a clue what to do.

  • Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months: Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working. Hundreds of people posted but there is NO SOLUTION!

    "Firefox Plugin Container Has Stopped Working."
    Why hasn't Mozilla FIXED the problem in 5 months?
    And Why is there not any answer to how to fix it that an Ordinary Person can do, without a MS degree in computer science?
    I had this problem in Firefox 3.6.8 and then just downloaded version 3.6.12, the latest one, but it still happens constantly:
    Hundreds of people posted in June 2010 and now the help section says: "This Question is Closed" message is at the bottom,
    But there is NO SOLUTION!

    This file seems to offer as many issues as problems it's supposed to solve.
    Fix your problem in 20 seconds, 15 if you copy and paste the 2 strings below:
    - Open a new tab in Firefox
    - Type "about:config" in the Address Bar (without the quotes)
    - Click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    - Type "dom.ipc" in the Filter field on top of the page
    - 6 lines of parameters should appear, ignore the first and the last ones
    - Double-click on the 4 lines in the middle to change their value to "False"
    - Close the tab, close Firefox, restart Firefox
