Weird audio issue pavilion dv6

Hello,
I recently bought a pavilion dv 6 (HP DV6-6B50ED), but i have a weird problem with the audio. Sometimes, the laptop randomly starts using the speakers for sound, even when i have plugged in headphones. This happens at random. For example, yesterday i was watching a youtube video, with headphones plugged in. The sound was using the headphones. However, a friend of mine tried to contact me through steam chat. The calling sound used the speakers. After i accepted the call, the sound from the chat went through my headphones, while the sound of the youtube video suddenly started to use the speakers. This is very annoying, so is there a solution for this problem? Thanks in advance.
Operating system: windows 7 64 bit.

Consider / Try:
Sound > Playback Devices [Speakers] - [Headphones] > Properties >
Advanced Mode > Section Exclusive Mode
CHECK / UNCHECK "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"
CHECK / UNCHECK "Give exclusive mode applications priority"
It sounds like the various applications are fighting over the speakers and headphones.
Good Luck!

  • Weird audio issue when printing to video

    I am attempting to dub a couple of old projects to tape using the Print to Video command (firewire connection to Panasonic DVX-100A MiniDV camera). I have used this method many times in the past with success. However, I have now tried two different projects tonight and had the same strange issue: The project plays back perfectly normally in the timeline, through the computer speakers, but when I Print to Video, there will be one part where a small audio "blip" can be heard. It sounds like either a snippet of tone or the sound of un-rendered audio... except it's all rendered.
    Anybody have any suggestions? It's really weird that it plays back something different in Print to Video than it does in regular playback... Any help is appreciated.

    That did it, thanks! I feel kind of dumb, I've never used that function before. Is that something I should have been doing all along? Anyway, thanks again. It's nice to get a response and have it work on the first try. So refreshing.

  • Weird Audio Issue

    Hi! I've had my MacBook, and I love it. However, I plugged in some speakers and decided to jam on my Harman/Kardon home theater system. I plugged the MacBook into the receiver, and ALL distortion. The system was completely distorted. The same is said for any headphones I've also tested after this weird thing, and the internal speakers. The distortion is in the treble, like someone decided to turn the treble up way past the top of the equalizer! Thanks for helping...

    The Aluminum macbooks have had some audio problems.
    First, make sure the overall audio output is at half volume so as not to overdrive anything.
    Is the Harmon/Kardon receiver have an analog stereo input, I assume that's what you plugged into... or was it a digital input?
    Might want to check this thread out.

  • Weird Audio Issues

    I currently work at a company who supports students who connect to Live Lessons using the Adobe Connect software.
    Recently quite a few calls have been received where a user has a Windows XP SP3 machine using either IE 8 or Firefox and the only way they can hear clear audio in a Live Lesson room is to either minimize the window or cover the meeting window with another window.  This only occurs in IE 8 and Firefox.  The workaround we are using right now is to download Chrome which works perfectly fine.
    We have only seen this on Windows XP SP3 machines.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Are the students using the Connect Add-In?

  • Audio Issues - Sound stops on youtube vid after a few seconds. Please Help?

    What's been happening is weird audio issues, especially youtube  related though not only (other web video content has been messed up, but  mostly youtube). Right now I am using headphones (1/8" or 3.5mm)  through the back of the computer and when I turn on  the computer, at first I can hear sound from videos. When I open the  speaker icon mixer window in the bottom right, I see green bar moving  with the sound on the "speakers" mixer and "Adobe Flash Player" mixer  simultaneously.
    Then after a few minutes or after having a few tabs open, all of a  sudden the audio stops. Oddly enough, usually the video keeps going even  thought the audio has stopped. I verified this wasn't a hardware issue  with my headphones by opening the Speaker Icon  Mixer window, and acutally was watching it at the moment the sound  stopped and saw the green bar disappear exactly when the sound stopped.
    If I restart the computer, or firefox only sometimes (mostly need to  restart cpu though) then videos will play again with sound. Once the  sound stops however, if I open a new youtube video in another window, it  will sometimes cause an "An error occured.  Please try again later" crash.
    I'm at a loss of what to do.
    Running latest version of Firefox (26.0) and Adobe Flash (11,9,900,170  installed). Windows 7 64 bit system, Intel Core I7 Processor.
    I have tried many things include "reset firefox", clear cache,  changing to an earlier version of Flash (11.3). Tried to update sound  cards. Even tried to restore computer to an earlier setting ( I only  went two days ago, could go farther back I suppose).When  I reverted back, the problem went away for a few hours but then came  right back.
    I scanned pc with ESET online antivirus, no viruses, Malewarebytes  Pro, no issues. Cleaned with CC cleaner. Plenty of hard drive space  (using an SSD boot drive btw).
    I am not very knowledable about plugins or "addons" or extenstions.  Nor do I know if it has anything do "Firefox Options -> applications"  (gives content type and then option...essentially a bunch of sound file  types and then which plugin plays it). I can  give my list of all this out if necessary but there are quite a few and  I dont know how to copy/paste that info so it would take. Even though  its gonna take forever to hand type these guys all out, I will give my  list of "plugins" that may be audio related:
    QuickTime Plugin 7.7.4 7.7.4.0
    RealDownloader Plugin 1.3.3.66
    RealNetworks (tm)
    RealDownloader Chrome Background Extensions Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66
    RealNetworks (tm)
    RealDownloader HTML5VideoShim Plug-in (32-bit)
    1.3.3.66 RealNetworks (tm)
    RealDownloader PepperFlashVideoShim Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66
    RealPlayer Download Plugin 16.0.3.51
    RealPlayer(tm) G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-Bit) 16.0.3.51
    Shockwave Flash 11.9.900.170
    Shockwave for Director 12.0.7.148 (for netscape plug-in)
    Shockwave for Director 12.0.2.122 (for netscape plug-in)
    Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.20913.0
    VLC Web Plugin 2.1.0.0
    When I open my device manager and look at "Sound video and game controllers" I see 4 options:
    1)AMD High Definition Audio Device
    2) Bluetooth Audio Device
    3) High Definition Audio Device
    4) Intel (R) Display Audio
    I'm not sure what this means, if I have 4 sound cards or if they are conflicting somehow.
    I tried to update drivers on each one. No change.  I've tried  "restarting firefox with addons disabled" and "check here to see if your  addons are up to date" (they were except VLC which I did update before  restoring to previous day and it didnt help).
    None of the fixes work for me, same issues. Extremely frustrated!! Help?

    I'm having a similar problem with flash audio. After a few minutes of watching a video or playing a game the audio cuts out but the video keeps working. The audio does not return until I refresh the page. The issue occurs regardless of which browser I'm using (have tired both Firefox and Chrome). Oddly enough, when the audio cuts out from whatever flash application is running, my entire system loses sound until I refresh the webpage or close the browser. For example, I was playing Minecraft with Chrome open in the background and suddenly the sound cut out from both. Once I closed the browser my audio came back. I realized that there was a graphic on the webpage that was flash based which likely triggered the issue.
    I do not have any Real plugins.
    Incidently I also have Intel (R) Display Audio listed in my device manager
    Edit: I forgot to mention, this issue only seems to occure when I watch videos that have been uploaded recently. For some reason the audio does not cut out when I watch a video was uploaded a few months ago.

  • Sound Playback Issue with IDT High Definition Audio Codec HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

    Since i bought this laptop, every time i use skype or the Windows Sound Recorder, i hear static that drastically increases in volume. Uninstalling the IDT High Definition Audio Codec prompts my computer to automatically install the driver again, this usually fixes the problem, but after restarting my laptop, the problem returns.
    Does anyone know a permanent fix to this issue?

    Hi,
    Please try:
    (a) Uninstall IDT sound from Device Manager,

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 Beats Audio Sound issue

    Hi-
    I am using HP Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 and has Beats Audio installed.It is about 9-10 months old Couple of times in the last few months, the sound just screached and then the volume on the speakers went down tremendously. I have-
    1. Confirmed that the latest drivers are in place
    2. Confirmed that all audio setting options are set right
    3. Confirmed that the device is working correctly (Through device manager)
    2-3 weeks after the first such instance, the sound came back normal without any setting changes. Now I am facing the same issue-
    1. Sound is very low on- Speaker, headphones and HDMI output
    2. Sound is very low on- Skype, Yahoo messenger
    It appears to be an hardware issue- if anyone has encountered such issue or know of any potential solutions, please share it.

    Thanks for getting back to me with that information!
    I've got a couple of things for you to try. 
    First, try updating to the latest BIOS version F.1C. Download and install F.1C. Your computer will restart on its own during the installation. Allow it to restart and test it for sound issues. If you are still having the problem, move on to the second option.
    2nd Option You have the latest audio driver version 6.10.6381.0 installed. There are two versions listed on your driver page which means some units may work better with one version or the other. Don't make any changes to the BIOS version you just installed, but roll back to the earlier audio driver version.
    To do this:
    Open Device Manager
    Expand Sound, video and game controllers
    Double-click on IDT HD Audio
    Click the Driver tab 
    If the 'Rollback' button is enabled, click that and restart the computer.
    If the 'Rollback' button is not enabled, click Uninstall, do not restart the computer 
    Download and install 6.10.6345.0 offered on this link and restart
    Let me know the results when you get a chance

  • No Audio Issue HP Pavilion dv6...Please Help!

    Good day, I have been experiencing several audio issues with my laptop. Firstly, my laptop stopped playing audio unless I disable then enabling the IDT HD audio CODEC. I then tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it only to find that the drivers i found weren't compatible. Then I tried the recovery manager and when I restart the notebook it encountered a problem and I lost audio and my Beats enhancement. Can someone please help me on what to do?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT HD Audio Driver - Windows 7.
    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, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
    Chipset Driver - Windows 7.
    When the Chipset reinstallation has completed, shutdown 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.

  • Sound Issues HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC

    Hello,
     I have HP Pavilion dv6-6158nr Entertainment Notebook PC with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS. Recently I noticed issues with how my volume control works. I am not sure if it's an application issue (Firefox 9/10) or audio drivers. While watching playing an audio file or watching video my default playback device is set to speaker, but as soon as I plugin my headphones both headphones and speakers will go to mute. Some times disabling and re-enabling the device will solve this issue, and other than that I also have to restart Firefox to get the sound back.
     Tried installing all the available updates form windows, also reinstalled/update the sound drivers as n admin with no possible fix. Also as shown in picture below, when I try to make a Google call using Firefox I use built-in mike an headphones. During that time headphones icon will be appeared in the window shown below listed as communication device and disable both audio in/out.
    Let me know if any further information is required.
    Thanks.

    First uninstall the audio driver:
    Click Start and type device in the search field, then select Device Manager. >> Audio, video and game controlar >> right click and uninstall all values under it >> restart >> download and install the following drivers:
    BIOS
    Audio

  • AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In (HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa)

    I have just booted up my HP Pavilion dv6-6b09sa (running on Windows 7) laptop to find that the sound icon has a red cross next to it and it claims that 'No speakers or headphones are plugged in'. In the Control Panel it states that the AMD High Definition Audio Device is Not Plugged In. As far as I know, I've done nothing to cause this.I have already tried:System restore to yesterday at 10pm;Instalation of a TDI driver from the HP website, however I do not know how to edit/disable/delete the old driver. I'm completely clueless about these things. Please help, I'm at a complete loss.

    This happened to me too. I own an HP Pavilion dv7-1135nr (Windows Vista). The internal hard drive stopped working, I took it to a computer repair shop, they put in a new internal hard drive, asked Microsoft for a key code and jump started the laptop. I took it home with me yesterday, watched a few videos and wondered why the sound wasn't working. The volume light on the laptop base was indicated as red (which meant the volume was off, even when the volume on the laptop screen was on). The only way I was able to hear sounds from videos was when I put my ear phones on. 
    I read somebody say that this happened to them and they restarted/rebooted their computer. I did that and, expectedly, it didn't work.  I came across this page, opened up "Device Manager," opened up "Sound, Video and Game Controllers." Right-clicked the "IDT Device" and then uninstalled it. My laptop then restarted and thankfully the sound was back up. I didn't need to download anything or right click the "IDT Installer" or "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" or any of that. It thankfully came back without me having to do any of that. I restarted/rebooted my computer to see if it was a fluke, and thankfully it worked again.  Now I don't have to use my ear phones. My ears didn't like being pumped with sound, even when it was on low. My "Digital Display Audio" is still not checked green. It says that it's "not plugged in." But hopefully I won't run into this problem again in the future. Because if I'm a week or two or a month removed, the repair people I initially went to for my internal hard drive problem, will say that this was a separate issue caused by me and will charge me extra, when it was in fact caused by them (not maliciously of course, I guess this kind of thing happens when you replace a hard drive, as do a lot of other things which I'm not beginning to see). Thanks DavidPK.

  • Audio stop working in a Pavilion dv6 with vista enterprise 64

    Hi guys,
    I´m having a very strange problem with my girlfriend´s laptop. One month ago, we bought a HP pavilion dv6-1117es with Windows Vista Home 32 bits installed. I changed the S.O. to a new Vista Enterprise 64 bits. Everything works perfectly. Last week while she was working with MS Word, the sound system stops working. Nothing changes and the laptop didn´t show any errors. I made all the tests I could imagined without success. Frustrated I decided to reinstall the S.O. but there is no sound.
    Steps done:
    Review and reinstall drivers from HP. I also have uninstall all the items in the audio system and the laptop rediscover the hardware without errors.
    I have tried any option both in the windows vista audio mixer and in the IDT application selecting any audio source possible.
    I have updated the laptop bios into the latest version.
    I have tried with several external speakers and I have the same result.
    Also updated MS UAA.
    Also restarted audio services
    Symptoms:
    The problem is that everything looks ok. The mixer shows the green bar up and down when I play any mp3 song. It seems to work in all the devices including external speakers, double speakers, SPIF line out and HDMI out. There is no red crosses or yellow warnings anywhere. 
    Please help me.
    Thanks-

    HI Jaimese, yes I tried XP service pack 2 does not help.
    I did a system reinstallation apparently that worked for all of 10 minutes,
    then back to teh same thign.  It must be a software issue.
    Theonly time when it sort of worked was when the HP guy told me to uninstall the IDT drivers, then windows vista reinstalled it again.
    I did a total clean install , meaning I wped the HDD clean through system restore that did nothing.
    I  don't know what to do. Well......... actually I do . If nobody takes responsability
    A) return HP comptuer to retailer.
    B) Take a trip to local Apple store. (yes they are expensive but at this point I should not have to do a clean install one week into ownership).

  • Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Windows 7 beats audio problems

    Product name : Hp Pavilion dv6-6c35dx
    Operating System : Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 Bit
    I'm having a problem with some of the sliders in my beats audio options. The sliders in the graphic equalizer section work just fine, but the ones to the left of it - bass, treble, center, etc - have no effect on the sound no matter how I adjust them. Below is a picture of what I'm talking about.  This problem seemed to happen shortly after I needed to reset my pc back to factory settings. I've gone to the drivers section of the hp website and got the HD IDT audio driver for my model called "sp58131" and installed it but all it did was reset the sliders, the problem still persists. Is there anything else I can do?

    Hi Vivi,
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx Notebook and Beats Audio. I would uninstall the driver from the device manager and any others that might be in the Audio. Then reinstall it from here.
    Hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC audio glitch

    HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC, Product number: QJ920AV#ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    Is it even possible to simaltaneously use the audio and micrphone jacks? I have Turtle Beach headphones which have both inputs so that you have hear and transmit voice while listening to any in-game sounds. However, everytime I try, the audio gltiches and I can no longer hear anything or even play sound files in Windows Media player and I am forced to restart. 
    This only happens if I try to simaltaneously use those two ports. I would very much like to use them both so that when I am playing games I can avoid the irritating error (which displays no error image and is not detected by diagnostic reports) and so that I can hear both in-game music and hear other peoples' voices. This error has always been here.
