Undo removed Microphone and Speakers devices from ...

I had my audio skype options set to chose from the list of devices in order of the priority I've set. Recently I had some problems with my microphone (sorted out as it was a hardware problem) and I wanted to have a look at the options again. I noticed that no matter what I was dooing (eg plugging or unplugging my headphones from the IO jacks) the same options was chosen by skype : 
-Microphone (Raltek High Definition Audio)
-Speakers (Raltek High Definition Audio)
And all the rest was shaded gray. 
I thought I can remove them and the next time I open skype it will detect again the devices. But this was not the case ! How can I have all the devices back there ?.
Now, the input and output is sorted by raltek I guess, but I cannot figure out exactly how can I controll these. When I plug the headphones, it is taken as IO and when I unplug them the build in IO are taken. 
I want the ability to have my headphones plugged (and other devices, eg third party webcam), and choose whenever I want to take the microphone input from my build in laptop or from headphones or from my third party web cam and so on. How can I achieve this?

Hi Amanda,
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/sp52501-53000/sp52658.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.
Regards,
DP-K

  • How to remove old signed in devices from iCloud.

    How does one remove old signed apple devices from iCloud?  I erased devices, deleted backups, but they still show up.

    Hello Kalyan
    I raised an OSS note for this and below is the reply from SAP. Thanks for your support.
    Thank you for your query.
    To delete the old class their are 2 options available to you .
    1 )
    To delete the old class you have to remove the assignments of where
    it is used . Please access the old class in CL03 and then the menu
    path "Environment - Where used list"
    Once all assignments are removed you should be able to delete the class
    2)
    You could use a change number created in transaction CC01 to delete
    the class from the classification view.
    Please review note 166530 which explains about the deletion of
    classification data.
    Please refer to the online documentation at help.sap.com and the
    Classification section where it states :
    Once you have used engineering change management to process
    characteristics, characteristics of a class, or classifications, you
    must use engineering change management for all further changes.
    I hope the information is of help , please test carefully on a Non

  • How do I remove locations and/or pins from maps on iphone 5

    How can I remove locations and/or pins from MAPS?

    A purple pin is a dropped pin. You access that from the "back" of the map, but touching the lower right corner of the map. It is a pin that is dropped in the center of the map you happen to be looking at at the time. If there is no description of the pin, touch the pin and it should show a label, and on the right side of the label there is a blue arrowhead. Touch that and it will provide an address/description of the pin's location and there should be other options, such as directions to here, from here, etc., and then one to remove the pin. Touch that and it should disappear.

  • If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now?

    If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now? I forgot to ask.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    You uninstall using the Windows control panel, and you install the same way you did on your old computer... put the disc in the drive and follow the onscreen instructions

  • Removing pictures and music files from my old Mac Book Pro

    Hi I hope someone out there can help me with this question,
    I have an older MacBook Pro with IOS 10.9.2 Mavericks I want to remove all my pictures, music and documents and put them on discs since my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display does not have a HDD and only has 125GB drive. How can I safely remove all my items unti a disc.

    I'm not sure I understand the problem.
    You need an external drive. You can store your documents on there, and then wipe the disk of the old MBP.
    You can then access the documents on the new MBP from the external drive.
    One other thing: you do already have a backup, don't you? A backup should be on a separate physical device from any other copy of your files. Make sure you have two copies of your files before deleting the originals on the old MBP.

  • How do I remove an old iPod device from my list of 5 so I can add my new iMac to my iTunes account?

    I see that iTunes will only sync 5 devices to my iTunes account. One of my 5 is an old iPod that has not worked for years. How do I delete it so I can add my new iMac to my iTunes account?

    iTunes Authorizations are limited to 5 Computers and 10 devices total. If you've already reached the 5 computer threshold, removing the iPod won't do any good. Nevertheless, here's some more info:

  • Remove collapse and expand icons from tray header

    Hi all
    Is it possible in any way to remove the collapse and expand icons from the tray header, and have the menu icon aligned with the end of the underline?
    Uploading a transparent gif does'n help, because the collaps and expand icon has the same width and heigh as the menu icon. Thus if I upload a transparent gif, and the width of the icons is set to 14px, the menu icon is not aligned with the line which underlines the whole header. There is 14px of blank / transparent.
    Removing the menu icon is easy, all I have to do is deselect all the 'show xxx' options in the iView editor.
    It should be possible to remove the collaps and expand icons, and still be able make it look good.
    Has anyone else had this problem??

    Amit,
    Thank you for replying twice, much appreciated.
    I am sorry for my late response. Thank you for the tip, but as far as I can see this is related to SP 15. We are currently on SP13. I should have of course have mentioned which SP in my problemdescription, and had we been on SP 15 I would have tried this solution.
    Anyway, points rewarded for being helpful.
    Markus,
    I did not find a solution for our problem. However during this summer our customers have decided that it was not very important to remove this icon, so I have left it. I hope the suggestions from Amit and Prem can give you some tips if you have a similar problem.
    Prem,
    as far as I understand you are suggesting to override the jsp for the iViews-trays, like you suggested for the detailed navigation? Anyway, it sounds like a good idea, and worth a try. But, as I mentioned above, we have deceided not to remove the icon. However, it sounds interesting, and I would like to investigate these possibilities when I have the time. points rewarded for being helpful
    Kind regards,

  • How do I remove spaces and special characters from the file name during rendering?

    I understand that I can set LR_renamingTokensOn to true, but I would like to replace all spaces in the file name with an underscore and remove characters not in the range A-Z and 0-9. What's the easiest way to achieve this?

    local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
    local sesn = LrExportSession {
        photosToExport = { photo },
        exportSettings = {
            -- ... (determine from export preset) - whatev you want, just be sure you set export directory: LR_export_destinationPathPrefix
            LR_tokens = "{{custom_token}}",
            LR_tokenCustomString = LrPathUtils.removeExtension( photo:getFormattedMetadata( 'fileName' ) ):gsub( "[ %c]", "" ) -- remove spaces and control characters
