Thinkpad Tablet Music Sound Issue

I have an X220 tablet, 4294CTO, and I think the sound card has taken a vacation. Was working then not. Get the message "no audio output device detected" but I have not made any changes to my machine. have two questions, 1) is the sound card integrated on the motherboard, and 2) how do i determine which mother board I have? I know i have the i7-2640M, but not sure what the AMT and TPM options are. If you think it's not the board I wouldn't mind keeping the money in my pocket :-)
Thanks for the help, Mike

from the above, you can find the exact planar that was installed in the machine.
But for an i7 X220t motherboard it would be quite expensive, more than what your machine is worth (if you are getting a new one). While, the second hand one from ebay can sometimes have quality or hardware issues.
For a more cost effective fix, you should just get an ExpressCard Sound Card, which cost under 100 dollars. You would also gain better sound quality, among other features.

Thinkpad Tablet 2 issues with installing Windows 8.1 Pro

I have a Thinkpad Tablet 2 and haveput the 32 bit version of Windows 8.1 Pro onto a USB drive. In BIOS, my tablet identifies the drive correctly and I have successfully put given it the highest boot priority. When I start up with the USB drive in, the install for Windows 8.1 shows up. However, at this install I am unable to interact with what is displayed on the screen at all. I have tried using the physical buttons on the tablet, tapping the screen, and even a bluetooth keyboard (which I get the feeling won't work without drivers). Do I maybe have the wrong kind of install? I used the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and also followed some instructions I saw on this forum that involved use of the command prompt to create a partition on the USB Drive (I can't seem to find them again).
I'm sorry if this question has been addressed before; I am new to this forum and my attempts to search for this problem have yielded no results.

You'll need a USB keyboard to navigate the BIOS. See

HELP! Imaging thinkpad tablet 2 with WDS

I am on a strict timeline and need to image over 100 tablets (thinkpad tablet 2) and I'm running into issues with my WDS setup. I've imaged many laptops etc before but this has the UEFI BIOS. I'm using a WDS server on Server 2012.
I've setup a boot image using Windows 8 32bit.
-Attempted to use the Lenovo 3.0 USB/Network Dongle. (I've since heard that you can only use the 2.0 ver?)
-Turned off the secure boot in the BIOS
-set the USB device as the first boot item
-turned off F12 in the BIOS and in WDS
-set my DHCP opt 67 to: boot\x86\wdsmgfw.efi
When I boot the tablet it won't even see the USB/PXE boot. It boots to the hdd. Is it truly due to the USB 2.0 dongle vs. the 3.0? Anyone? Bueller? HELP!
Do I need to do anything else on my WDS server?

Sounds to me like it could be a driver issue. What's the error message that appears on the "frowny face" screen?
Also, have you checked out this thread? It may have some useful information for you:

B500 USB Device not recognized error at startup + sound issue Dissapointed

Hello,
We have 2 B500,
whenever i start them, after windows load they are giving me an error, "USB device not recognized" I am not sure what to do any help will be greatly appreciated as this is strange that both the machines are giving the same error,
also on one of the machines the sound does not come work, i have tried to trouble shoot, the diagnosis says speakers are working fine, but sound does not come out at all.
I am kind of dissapointed with these issues, we always use to buy from Dell but we thought we would give Lenovo a chance, the machines were barely a couple of months old when the issue started,
any advice please?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well being that it is the same PC as the other I am sure the speakers are plugged into the correct spot. Have you checked the speakers with other devices to make sure the speaker is fine? Since the other PC's drivers are working, you can use DRIVERMAX to pull the sound driver from the good PC and also use DRIVERMAX to install the driver you pulled from the good one. Just uninstall the sound drivers from the bad PC first before installing the new driver.

Sound issue on iphone 4 - 7.1.1

My mom has an iphone 4 that was handed down to her from my sister. After one of the ios updates...can't remember which one...the phone stopped giving audible notifications for text messages. As I have tried to troubleshoot this issue I have discovered the other following problems:
The phone will not play music on any speaker. I was trying to connect the phone via bluetooth to a speaker bar and when I tried to play pandora, I got nothing. I then disconnected the bluetooth to see if I would get sound out of the phone's speaker and got nothing. I attempted to play a downloaded song and got nothing.
I then tried to see if I could find other issues and I did. When I go into settings>sounds>ringtones I can switch ringtones and hear the ringtone sample. When I go into settings>sounds>text tone, I can select any tone in the list and all I get is a vibration, no sound at all from any of them.
I also found that when pressing the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone do not produce the pop up box that shows volume going up and down
I believe these three problems to be related as some kind of systematic software bug. Can anyone confirm this or offer a possible solution. Keep in mind the phone does make sounds when someone calls also from the speaker phone. The only non-sound issues are text notifications and playing music. I find this to be a rather important problem because the phone can really no longer be used as a phone since my mom continually misses text messages because she does not get an audible notification.

What is a packet problem? I'm having sound issues.

I'm at my wit's end. I am having sound issues. I've run diagnostic tests and everything comes back as OK, but it's not OK! Something somewhere is messed up and I can't figure it out.
I have been to the help rooms on paltlak and opened up support tickets and everything they told me to try has not helped. They suggested I change the sound tuning on my chat program, change exceptions on my firewall, uninstall and reinstall chat program, uninstall and install earlier version, download drivers for sound card, and etc. Nothing is helping this problem.
Someone mentioned that it may be router problems or packet problems. I'm not sure what that means, and that is why I'm on this forum asking for help. I have no other sound problems on my computer. My music and videos play fine. It's just when I'm in a voice enabled chat, do I experience these problems, or if I'm on a website that has videos, the video will not load all the way, so I only get 30 seconds of a video. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
I have used this chat service for over 5 years and up until a week or so ago, it worked fine. I did a complete reformat of my computer in hopes that it would help, but I'm still having the same problems. I lose sound within 5 seconds of entering the chat room. Then it takes between 3-5 minutes before I hear sound again, but then I only hear it for a few seconds. Then it goes away for another few minutes. Repeat. Over and over again.
I'm running Windows Vista on an Acer Aspire 380 with wireless cable modem. I keep losing sound in any voice/sound enabled chat and on any site that has videos. I have 1gig of ram, 300 gb hard drive, 32 bit operating system, 2 processor cores, directx version 9, realtek sound card. Everything is up to date, and firmware is up to date. My speed test is: download: 6.162 mbps and upload: 926 kbps.
When I do the ipconfig/all, it shows
Tunnel adapter local aera connection* 6: Media State: Media disconnected
description: teredo tunneling pseudo-interface
dhcp enabled: no
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
I don't know if this has anything to do with my sound issues on the chat program or not. ??
Also shows:
node type: hybrid
dhcp enabled: yes
autoconfiguration enabled: yes
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
dhcp server: 192.168.1.1
netbios over tcpip: enabled
If by chance it is a packet problem, how do I fix that?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, it just started recently and after not being able to fix the problem, I completely reformatted my computer and started with a fresh slate, but still having the same problems. The videos will not continue to load. They get less than half way and then just totally stop loading, therefore I only get to view the video up to the point where it stops loading. I just took your advice and I disconnected the router and connected my computer directly to the modem and my sound issues were fixed. I went into the voice chat and had sound for over 10 minutes (and then I disconnected) instead of the usual 5 seconds that it'd been. So is it the linksys that is causing this? If so, how can I fix it? Thank-you. Message Edited by nightrider7000 on 01-22-2008 11:34 AM

Intermittent Sound Issues - HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion dv6700 Entertainment Laptop running Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium and have been running into some strange sound issues first.
First, on occassion when I start my laptop I will get a "No Audio Output Device Installed" Message, and no sound controllers show up in the device manager. Strangely, sometimes if I restart the laptop or put it into hibernation and bring it back, the output device will again work.
Also, when it is working I am experiencing other strange issues. Often, sound will work only through headphones, and not through the built in Altec Lansing speakers. Other times, even with the headphones plugged in, I only get sound through the speakers. And sometimes, no sound through either, even though the computer at this point is showing a working audio device.
Lastly, when the sound does work through the speakers, it is normally crackling and distorted - it doesn't sound right at all.
The sound device installed on the computer is Contextant Smart Audio 221 (At least when it chooses to be working...)
I hope there is a solution to this problem, thank you very much for any support!

I also have a HP Pavillion laptop, with Windows Vista.. I am having sound issues, but not the same ones.. mine often displays the volume bar on the screen, clicking like I'm turning it up or down.. I can't get it to stop or go away.. I usually have to reboot and most of the time it stops, until the next time I open the laptop. Also, when it's not doing this, I can't control my volume from the touch pad volume control at the top of my keyboard. I thought maybe it was just damaged because it seems to have some scratches in that area where the top connects when closed, but I didn't think it made sense that rebooting will stop this, even temporarily. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, however, one driver didn't come back.. it actually seemed to be better at first, but now I have to reboot it almost everytime I open it. I thought if I didn't leave it in hibernation, just turn it off, while not using it, that would help, it didn't. I have also tried updating the drivers and they are updated.. If anyone knows what else I can do, please help, it's terribly annoying, plus I have a lot of music on it, I'd like to listen to it sometime.

ThinkPad Tablet 2 Windows 8.1 reinstall no leveno usb key?

ThinkPad Tablet 2
So I have a tablet 2 64g and my son wipped the drive and left the tablet unbootable. So I called leveno and the key is 45.00 and if they do the reinstall it is 170.00... Money is a issue right now, so we are doing this on our own with hope of this foum and then a how-to-do we will make for others.
We are as far as a clean windows 8.1 pro install and every time we load the update from the leveno site for tablet 2 the IO drivers listed as Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 and alos tried Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit), 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 and both install and then my screen goes blank like the back light gets shut off? If I shine a light on it I can see that windows is working just no light for the screen. Right now windows does not see BT, WIFI, and a lot of other stuff. We know for a fact this is a software issue with leveno and windows8 but with out a warrenty we are lost and calling them is non-productive with out a warrenty. Any idea's would be loved....
1. Fresh install of windows 8.1 pro (working)
2. No touch screen, no WIFI, no BT and a lot other ????? in device mgr
3. 1st updat was IO driver from leveno web site here and they both FAIL http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-tablet-2
This is as far as we have gotten so far

Sound issues; slow response; usb ports unreliable and sd reader not working

The PC is a HP TouchSmart envy about 18 months old. Soon after purchasing I upgraded to Win 8.1.
About three or four months -ago probably after a Win update was installed- I began to have Sound issues (including not able to conect my external powered speakers any more- they used to work brilliantly and initially no sound at all but I went into settings and changed something and every now and again I have to do that again to get the PC speakers to work) ; slow response; usb ports unreliable, sd reader not working- as well as issues with the internet - the modem actually. It is easier to get on to a tablet and use the internet as my PC can be really slow. As well I have uninstalled Chrome and am using Explorer as this seems a little better but I miss Chrome.
I was advised by tech at Hervey Norman that I had to do a complete system restore but in order to do that I would need the recovery discs from HP? Is that correct? How do I do this?
PS I did not make recovery discs when I first purchased the machine. (Very sad!!!)
Help!!!
Alfriston

Hi again Alfriston,
Thank you for the clarification!
To return your computer's audio back to functional order, I recommend removing the audio driver from the operating system previous to upgrading to Windows 8.1, and installing the driver provided in this link.
If re-installing the driver does not resolve the issue, I suggest following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8).
In regards to the USB ports, I recommend following this resource on Troubleshooting USB Connections (Windows 8), which should help consistently connect your USB devices to your computer.
To prevent your computer from lagging or responding in a slow manner, please follow the step in this document on Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8) to help improve the speed and efficiency of the operating system.
To further diagnose the issue with your desktop's SD card reader, I recommend following this resource on Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8).
If your desktop still experiences issues with the audio, USB connections, speed and performance, as well as the SD card reader, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Bluetooth music quality issues

I recently had a JVC KD-R810 installed in my Jetta. The A2DP connects and audio is transmitted but the quality is horrible! At first I thought the new unit blew my speakers but when I switch the imput to CD my speakers are fine at all volumes. Does anyone know why I have these sound issues? Does all A2DP sound this bad?

I really hope Mitchell, but I'm afraid that JVC will say that the issue is with the iPhone Bluetooth profiles...I spoke to one of my colleagues in IT, and he was basically saying that when the Auto-Connect is turned on on the radio, it uses whatever Bluetooth profiles that is pushed by the iPhone, which seems to push the Phone profile first, then A2DP for audio and finally AVRCP (not sure of this one but that's the one that allows you to skip tracks for example).
When the AutoConnect feature is turned off and you select to get the A2DP profile from your iPhone by selecting ''Connect Audio Device'' on the radio, it obviously connects first, then the Phone profile connects as well. This seems to be why we encounter that behaviour.
I don't expect this to be resolved any time soon...so either you use the workaround described now, or you use the AutoConnect feature with a USB iPod cable so your music doesn't get distorted and you benefit from Bluetooth handsfree communication.
But it's a shame that this wasn't tested out further and addressed by Apple and car audio manufacturers.

Thunderbolt Sound Issues?

Is anyone else having problems with the Thunderbolt Display and sounds. Mine works fine unless I am transferring a lot of data to my Thunderbolt drive through the monitor. When I do that, it becomes totally unusable. It almost seems like a bandwidth issue on the interface.
I am running data to a Promise Pegasus R6 (12TB) unit.
I have the same sound issues when I play any music or movie. If the data isn't running it's fine.
I am totally up to date (patchwise) on the latest 17" mbp running lion.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thx

Thinkpad Tablet 2 can't run Windows 10

Don't be fooled by the link to the drivers posted above! The first download link on that page (Description: Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor Z2760 IPC with SCU Driver Installer)will not install the drivers you want, but will instead put a utility called "Driver Toolkit" on your computer that claims to find the necessary drivers and, for a price of at least $30, automate the driver installation process for you. Don't trust that program! Instead, use the second download link, which has the legitimate driver installation process and does not cost a penny - just the way it's supposed to be. (Just to be sure, make sure the description above the button reads as followsDriver Version: 6.2.9200.28847Release Date: 2013-01-06File Size: 24.86MSupported OS: Windows XP 32bit, Windows Vista 32bit, Windows 7 32bit, Windows 8 32bit UPDATE! Installing the drivers and a reboot later, the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator compatiblity problem remains. So, the problem has yet to be solved!

I got same issue. I have clean installed Win10 on my TPT2. I used USB Installation media that was made by MS Win10 media creation tool. And drivers from Lenovo site. TPT2 has only one USB port, thus I used USB HUB Inland Wired 4 Port USB 2.0 HUB UPC Code: 012405088187. It worked fine very much. The installation was OK, but I got a problem.The problem is that Pop up menu items that is from right clicked on icons that are on task bar disappeared. It was uncomfotable too much.Then I disabled Intel graphic media acceralator 9.14.3.1177 as the device driver at device manager display section.The driver is included in Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit), 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-tablet-2/downloads/DS039909 And then it switched MS basic video driver automatically.It looked like OK. The problem was fixed. However, I found further 2 issues.1. Screen brightness is not changable. It may affect battery life time.2. Movie performace is not good. Another things were looked like OK. Finally, I abandoned Win10 on TPT2 by the video problem, even though I spent 3 days for this issue.

Firewire 410 and itunes and copyproted music sounds BAD

when i play copyprotected music from iTunes 6 via my firewire out M-Audio Firewire 410, (latest revisions) the audio phases in and out with digital distorsion, suddenly sometimes completley quiet, other times digitally distored and hollow, sometimes digitally distored and sounding like i'm listening thru a long tube.
The distortion can be stopped by stopping the song and playing from the stopped point. Also it seems Safari helps cause these problems somehow, surfing causes audio glitches and burps.
when i play the copyprotected music from quicktime alone, i don't have as many issues.

Actually all music sounds bad.
usually when the waveform amplitude of the music is low, like at the beginning or end of the song is when the digital tubular distortion begins. but sometimes its just right in the middle of a song.
What's the point of having a high end system if decoding the audio stream outside the mac is so flaky or likely to change so much to kiss the behinds of the music industry executives. A new version of itunes = a new version of copyprotection and streaming which means these digital decoding boxes overnight become obsolete with every iTunes upgrade. Pointless.
Stick to your headphone jacks people.

No bass-music sounds like a tin can. Cannot adjust sound

I just got a new Ipod. My music sounds terrible. No bass-the music sounds like a tin can and I cannot adjust the sound. HELP

I'm having this problem too. Additionally, sometimes the tinny music comes through the external speaker as well as the headphones. When the sound is 'off', the volume cannot be adjusted.
My nano is more or less possessed, actually. The artwork for my music is absolutely bizarre - not just wrong and mixed with another album cover that I actually have, but completely random artwork.
I can handle the strange and frequently amusing artwork - the inability to adjust my sound and inability to turn off the external speaker is killing me.
The apple store recommended restoring the nano through itunes, which seemed to help the artwork issue, but the speaker/earbud issue just seemed to get progressively worse.
Sorry for the lack of answers - I would love, love, love to fix this and have a properly functioning nano (my classic has been perfect for YEARS). Still, sometimes it seems to help to commiserate.
