Upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, sound doesn't work, reinstalled driver, still not working

I have an HP Envy dv6, Product number: B6C68AV.
I had Windows 8 Pro 64-bit running on it just fine. Last month I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and my sound doesn't work anymore. If I go through the "Find and fix audio playback problems" winzard in Windows most of the time it will fix the problem, but I have to do that every time I reboot or wake the laptop up from sleep. When the fix works, it says it made my sound device the default and that fixed the problem.
So then I think I just need to set my IDT device to be the default, but when I go to manage my sound devices it says there are no audio devices installed, so there's no way to set one of them as my default.
I downloaded the IDT Audio driver at

Referenced here
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4158&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5327...
but after installing and rebooting it still doesn't fix the problem.
Here's what HP Assistant says I have installed in terms of audio drivers
What else can I do?

  • Upgrade from free EE to EE monthly pay (Samsung S6 edge) and it does not work

    Hi, Today 28th of July, I upgraded from a free EE iphone 4S which i bought back in December 14 to a Samsung S6 edge.
    Same operator. Same number. BUT I can't use it as it shows only "Emergency calls only". I also can't use my former phone as the mobile service has been disabled on it. The salesperson at carphone warehouse said that my contract would run the moment he finished my application (which was midday). SO I have paid for a service which I cannot use. I need my phone for my job.I would like to speak to someone at EE but as I don't have a phone I will have to use my work's phone which I am not allowed to do.
    I feel disatisfied, very disatisfied by EE and it's not the first time. They are cheap but It seems that they do everything to disgust you from using them.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Carphone warehouse lied and it is not the first time if you read other peoples posts. EE are not responsible for them and they need to make the request to EE to transfer your account over I suspect to a new sim?
    It can also take up to 48 hours at busy times and is obviously from the time CPW make the request.
    Thanks,

  • Upgrade from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 now Find Service Request does not work.

    I recently upgraded our Test machine from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 (RHEL 4.8). After performing the install and applying appropriate patches and most recent CPU when I attempt to 'Find Service Request' I can search by number, choose the correct SR I want in the form and click open. However when the SR form opens it just defaults to a new SR instead of the one returned in the search results. I have generated all form files again and that did not change anything. I have searched and not come across anything that appears to be applicable. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    I am logged in as myself and using the 'Service' responsibility.
    Service -> Service Requests -> Find Service Requests
    versions:
    CSXSRISR 120.208.12010000.84
    I do the search and I find it, however when it goes to open the result the sr form is as it is new.
    Oddly enough if I go under sysadmin and use the same responsibility, same path and search the sr will open the returned result.
    As sysadmin however it has a different layout in the 'folder' at the top of the screen. Could this be causing the difference or should that matter?
    Thanks

  • Mic2 front panel of sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum still not worki

    anyone..... please help!!!
    I have a sound blaster audigy 2 zs platinum, everything is hooked up perfectly including all power cable, and connectors to the front dri've bay. I have a samson q7 microphone that is connected using xlr female to /4" plug to the mic2 jack but I got no input signal. I then tried also using just a /4" to /8" to the back mic port of the PCI, no signal either. My friend said this mic doesn't need any other power like a phantom power or anything
    can you please help me!
    X

    If you're using a dynamic microphone, the Audigy 2 ZS dri've bay has a jumper which you can change for it to support dynamic microphones instead of electret microphones. However once this is done you won't be able to use electret mics until you've changed the jumper setting back.

  • Satellite P200-17C - Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7

    Am looking to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, anybody done this? And was thier any problems with drivers etc?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I dont know what you want to hear now exactly but you can download all drivers here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    As far as I know this P200 model belongs to the PSPB6 series.
    Therefore it seems that all drivers available for Windows 7 32bit.
    Generally about Vista and Windows 7 I can say that new OS runs much faster and never had a problem as yet. I can recommend it! :)

  • How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

    I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
    I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

    Hi
    Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
    Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
    If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

  • Upgrade from vista to windows 7 home premium

  • Upgraded from vista to windows 7 not seeing music list

    I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I sync my iPhone 4 I am not seeing my music listed nor my apps in the list. I had backed up my entire computer to my external hard drive and copied everything over to iTunes. But not showing up in any lists when I connect my phone???? Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I'm am used to working on Mac's but u don't think my advice will hurt.
    iTunes reads your hard drive for songs and compiles a song list for them.
    It then stores this data as your ituneslibrary.plist file.
    In the file drop down menu you should have an option to select library.
    Try reelecting your iTunes library icon and then it should reload your iTunes with playlists and play counts etc
