Hi,
Try the following.
Download the Realtek HD Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp49501-50000/sp49526.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the Realtek audio 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, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the Realtek 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.

  • Why wont dictation for mac turn on?

    i have macbook pro 13" that i bought brand new at future shop last fall (fall 2011), and i just paid to upgrade my OS X to mountain lion and from the start after the download was done and the computer did it's restart, when i go into my settings to turn on dictation, the on/off menu shows up grey instead of black and wont let me turn it on. I'm starting to get extremely frustrated and didn't know where to run for some help, can any of you guys help? i would greatly apretiate it! Thanks! here is a screenshot of what it shows

    I have an iMac and have come across this isue, only to find out that Dictation only allows you to turn on when your account has  adminstartor rights. Should you change back to no adminsrator rights dictation is switched off and you cannont select to turn it on.
    I would think the apple guys need to address this issue.

  • Why wont sound play though my TV using HDMI anymore?

    Everything worked fine until the power went out one day. Now I can't get sound to play though my TV using my HDMI cable. I have tried fiddling with every setting there is to make it work on both my TV and my imac but nothing seems to work. When I open system preferences there is not any other options for output besides Internal speakers. The speakers on my TV work fine I have tested them. I've tried several different HDMI cables but nothing works. Why would everything work fine one day and then stop the next? was is because of the power outage? can I fix this myself?

    You probably can't because it looks like your MacBook Pro is too old to carry audio over HDMI. You will need to run a separate audio cable from the audio out port on the MacBook Pro to the audio in port on the TV.
    Check your MacBook Pro model year against the list in this Apple tech note:

  • Why does "prepare for web publishing" turn text into an image?

    I have to prepare some supplied print PDFs for use on the web. I used to use "Reduce file size."
    With the new Acrobat, I use "prepare for web publishing". But when I use "prepare for web publishing", all the vector text in my document gets turned into a low-res image.
    Why would this be the case, and please tell me I can turn it off?
    Thank you!

    I'm just guessing here but could it be that the text is not a typical web-safe font? If not, I could see why it does that to preserve the appearance of the document for those that don't have the proper fonts installed.

  • Sound for when phone turns on

    I have the BlackBerry Curve 8330 and I was wondering if there was was a way to make it play a sound or a little tune when it is turned back on from being off or from rebooting.
     Kinda like most phones I have had in the past that play a little jingle when you turn it on or off but always gave you the option to turn it on or off.

    Mine... lights up and I can just look at it and see it's on.

  • All sound on my laptop turns to a glitched mess when anything is being done while it is playing.

    I really need help trying to figure this issue out. I have a HP2000 Notebook PC with Windows 8 I have had it since last March or April haven't had any issues until the past few weeks. 
    It has started to make terrible noises if I am in the middle of watching a show or listening to music and click on soemthing else or even close a program it starts to cut the sound out and starts making a glitch type noise it's really hard to explain the sound it's not static or white noise but very distorted. 
    Once whatever is loading is done it stops and plas the sound again without issues until something else decides to run. I have tried to stop and restart my windows audio and it didn't help. If there is anything else that can be done to fix it or even troubleshoot the issue so i can figure it out please let me know. 
    I'd really hate to buy a new computer because the sound is screwed up on this one and it's not even a year old. Any and all help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance!!

    Hello DreamWriter84. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. I understand the sound quality of this computer is poor.  To begin troubleshooting the issue, please apply the information from this HP document: Music or Sounds are Distorted (Echo, Off Pitch, Sound Effects)
    Please note: This document is intended for desktop PCs with Windows 7. However, the troubleshooting is useful for notebooks as well. The operating system is irrelevant. If the issue is not resolved, please provide the full model number of the computer. If you require assistance locating this information, please reference this website: Locating the Model Number of the Computer
    Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

  • Why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

    why wont the contextual menu for imovie appear even after I've turned on advanced tools?

    Hi
    And You are doing it right
    • draging a clip ontop of other clip in Project - or -
    • ctrl-click on clip in Project
    If it's not that - then my wild Guess is that the iMovie Pref file got corrupted.
    • TEST - Easy by creating a new User Account / Log into this / re-try iMovie - if it now works then I would trash the pref. file

  • Received a replacement ipod nano in early January . Works well in a sound system but keeps turning off when earphones are used. tried 3 pair but same result. When tried for support comes up as  expires. Says I have to purchase . Why????

    Received an ipod nano replacement in January. It works in a sound system but keeps turning itself of or loosing sound when earphones are used. I have tried several sets os earphones with the same result. When I just tried to seek support my Serial number comes up with warranty expired although the letter says 3 mths warranty. What gives Apple ??? Any one any advice??/

    This is usually an indication that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  The white plastic part of the headphones should be flush with the Nano and no silver from the plug should still be visible.  The headphone jacks on the new 6G Nanos are a bit tighter than previous generations, so it requires a bit of extra push to get the headphones to pop all the way in.
    Also check make sure the jack is clear of debris such as lint.

  • Satellite X200-191 = Laptop turns on 4 seconds, black screen,humming sound

    _*Satellite x200-191*_
    Core2 Duo T7700
    *Original:* 1024MB + 1024MB Memory 667MHZ / 512MB VRAM *Replaced:* Kingston Kingston KVR667D2S5/2G (I have this 2x)
    *Original:* 200GB + 200GB Harddisk Drive (4200RPM) SATA *Replaced:* Only 1 HDD left, other one I will get back in 2 days.
    17 WSXGA+ TRUBRITE TFT Screen
    HD DVD-ROM Drive
    56K Modem / Lan
    W-Lan (802.11 A/G/N)
    1/3MPixel Web Camera
    Bluetooth
    Microsoft Vista Home Premium 32 Bit
    _*My Problem:*_
    I take out the battery, plug it in the power. Charging light turns on.
    I press the power button, power led turns on. Followed by the hdd led turn on, which blinks real quick, stays on for 1 second, then turns of. The power led stays on during all the time.
    2 seconds after the power button, a fan starts blowing, while the above mention hdd led blinks for 1 second, 2 seconds after the fan starting to blow, it turns off.
    We are now 4 seconds farther, pretty much, everything stopts, except a very tiny minor humming sound. (I just left it on for a couple minutes, sound remains, nothing happens.) (While writing this all I left it on for 10 minutes, the laptop heats op a bit, the adapter gets hotter, but still only the very tiny minor humming sound.)
    +So my laptop works for 4 seconds, wont give any screen (black screen) wont load even BIOS. What could be wrong ?+
    _*Fixing?:*_
    Ok so I left the laptop after a couple of months, being told it was dead, just getting it dusty. (Read history to get this)
    But since last week, I figured its getting dusty, I never opened a laptop before, why wont I try doing that.
    _+*I replaced the Memory modules, Slot A and B , both memories , same time, one at a time, all possible ways.*+_
    _+*Since I have only 1 HDD, I used it in both slots. Looks to no difference. Using NO HDD, I do NOT have the very tiny minor humming sound!!!*+_
    I followed a guide [http://www.irisvista.com/tech/] to open my laptop, to see what is inside.
    Finding no lose plugs, but did find a certein oil, and some white paste.
    Closing the laptop, to try it out, I accidently screwed a couple wrong screws in the laptop, piercing the top cover of my laptop, but no chips were hit during this :P (Yeah, Im a bit to strong, I should have figured using force for a couple of the screws wasnt the best thing I could do, but now i know :p)
    *SOOO* My question, while I wait for the extra old HDD (getting it in 2 days). (Probably making no difference)
    What could be wrong, more precisly. Should I like try taking out the video card or something ?
    Is there something I should do with some soldering?
    Any tips/tricks that could work, wether to fix the laptop, or to narrow down the problem , to a small part which i could replace ?

    _*History:*_
    Not sure if this is any important, but just to let you know, if intrested what happend all to the laptop ;)
    I bought the laptop at Shape Computers (in the netherlands) Asking this laptop mentioned above, with 2 things changed. I wanted more Memory, and I wanted windows XP. The shop told me this was possible. They bought me the laptop in, they replaced the Memory with the kingston memories. They installed windows XP instead of the Vista. They laptop did work at this very moment. So I bought the working laptop, with 1 year warranty.
    With the folders extra given with the laptop, I was able to increase my warranty from 1 to 2 years for free, so I did.
    After probably a couple of weeks I noticed that the laptop was getting real hot, after longer usage. But according to the manual this was normal.
    I did use the laptop for gaming, but also 2 months for a gaming study. So I did take it several times to school in a backpack.
    After not using it for school anymore I reinstalled Windows Vista 32 BIT
    At a very point not sure when precisly I noticed that it wouldnt turn on (probably same problem as I have now) but I was really relaxed about it, tried it later, and somehow it did work again. This happend perhaps about 5 times in total.
    Knowing something was wrong, I took it back to Shape Computers. They checked it. (Not showing me what they did to it) But they told me I had nothing to worry about.
    After about 2 years I actually sold this laptop to my mom. She used it a couple times (she is like realy noob, just about computers in generally, not even knowing if she should double click icons or not) She took it with her a couple times on trips, and they after about 2 years and 2 months ... this problem happend.
    My mom knows a guy, and a friend of that guy, works alot with broken laptops, which told me that the problem was the _+motherboard+_.
    I decided to take it back to the shop. After a long progress being down there (about 6 to 8 weeks)(Me going to the shop like 15 times). The shop managed to tell me it was the motherboard. That the motherboard couldnt be fixed and that a new one would be way to expensive.
    +(I Known at this very point, after getting the motherboard back, that this laptop was not screwed open yet. The screws were still brand new.)+
    Funny information(not for me), during this period of about 8 weeks, they actually told me lies like ... I left a message at your voicemail, I DONT HAVE A VOICEMAIL ... sorry for the caps but im still xxxxxx about those lies.
    So still believing the shop ... my laptop is gone .... dead ... but then since last week, I started looking into the laptop myself ...(Fixing)

    Ok, the company did not reply at all ... I ended up sending another email. And they did reply with a automatic message. Now weeks later still nothing more then that auto reply.
    While I was waiting I contacted another guy that knows alot from these laptops. Getting a new part would cost me about 300 euros, and thats just the part, not even replace time.
    Considering the toshiba help I have gotten ... (pretty much none) in these last years.
    I declare my laptop dead. And decide at this very moment, that I (ofcourse) never will buy toshiba hardware again.
    I might pay a bit more at my Dell computers, but the support in the last 8 years with 5 different computer systems and 1 laptop. Has been perfect in compare to the toshiba support I have gotten in the last 3 years, which just fails.
    Thx tho all you guys for the replys.

    Why wont itunes download on my laptop running on windows vista, keep getting Windows error127, can anyone help please this is driving me insane, tried 9 times already without
    success.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • My Iphone4 speaker wont sound play any audio and all it says when i try turning it up is " Ringer" But doesent show the bars the turn up or down. Any help? :/

    My Iphone4 speaker wont sound play any audio and all it says when i try turning it up is " Ringer" But doesent show the bars the turn up or down. Any help? :/

    Hey Hype.Beast.187,
    Here are some troubleshooting steps for not being able to hear sound through your iPhone speakers. I'd pay special attention to steps 8, 9, and 10 in your situation:
    Resolution
    Verify that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack, including headsets, headphones, or adapters.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is not switched to silent.
    While on the Home screen, adjust the volume buttons. If you see the icon below, indicating that headphones are attached, there may be debris or an object lodged in the headset jack:
    Check the headset jack. If there is an object lodged in the headset jack that is not easily removed, have the iPhone serviced to remove object.
    For Original iPhone: If there is light debris, such as lint, in the headset jack, try connecting a pair of headphones to the headset jack and then remove the headphones. Repeat this several times to remove the debris.
    If you have installed a protective film on the display, either ensure that the receiver is not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check the receiver mesh (which is on the top front of the device, above the display). If it appears blocked, use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If you have paired with a Bluetooth headset that is nearby, either use the headset or turn Bluetooth off (choose Settings > General > Bluetooth).
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting the iPhone doesn't resolve the issue, try restoring the device.
    If the issue persists, go to the Service Answer Center - iPhone for information on service.

  • Why wont my 2nd generation ipod touch turn on anymore ?

    why wont my 2nd generation ipod touch turn on ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
