Windows 10 Upgrade loss of rear audio jack output on HP Envy Desktop

Beats and all audio software apps work fine after Window 10 install; however I've lost output in all but one of my rear audio jacks during playback using any audio application (Media Player, Cakewalk, etc.).  I went to manage audio devices on control panel and configure/test Speakers/Headphones and I got output out of all of the rear jacks to my speakers during testing; but, not during playback from audio applications. 

I found a solution.  After posting this question I went back through the various options for audio and updated my audio driver.  I have since received a reply from the Microsoft Community forum ( http://answers.microsoft.com ) that confirms this.> Go to the device manager (Press Windows key + X, select device manager.> Locate audio adapter.  In my case I had two headings for audio devices, "Audio inputs and outputs", and "Sound, video and game controllers. > I updated the driver for "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" under "Sound, video and game controllers".   It worked. > I had to restart twice for it to take effect.> It looks like it's the same driver for "Speakers/Headphones" under "Audio inputs and outputs".> Updating drivers is reversible using the "Roll Back Driver" button.

  • Boot Camp Windows 7 do not recognise wifi, ethernet, USB ports and has a scary red light in audio jack output!

    Hi!
    I have just tried to install Windows 7 x86 version on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a couple of strange things start appearing:
        1. On the Boot Camp Assistant first screen, I tried to download the drivers and after about 15min the system responding that the server did not responded.
        2. I went further and installed the Win7 without making the ISO as requested by the assistant and with no driver burned on a CD
        3. After installed the Win7 I noticed that it did not recognise the WIFI in my home nor any other in the area;
        4. There is a freaking RED LIGHT coming from my Audio jack output that I have never seen in my life... and that scares me!
        5. The USB ports does not works on Win7 side !
        6. The ethernet does not work, Win7 just don´t recognise it...
        7. There is no Boot Camp on Win7 side to be deployed...
    Basically I will use Windows to run Quicken for Windows, but I can´t acces my backups on Dropbox because I do not have intercet access, and obviously I am not going to be able to back up new files.
    Is there someone able to help me?
    I have:Boot Camp 5.0.0 / Win7 Ultimate x86 / MacBook 2,5Ghz Intel Core i5 MID-2012 / Memories 4GB amd 500GB/ OS X 10.8.1 / Boot Camp partition with 50Gb for Windows.
    I appreciate all help!

    Did you make sure to install the Bootcamp utilities after installing Windows? They can be found in the boot disk/usb flash that Bootcamp creates (check for a folder called "Windows Support").These should enable sound/video/trackpad/etc.to work with full functionaliity under Windows (you may need to reboot after doing so). After installing them, you may also want to run Windows Update to make sure you get the latest drivers.
    As far as the red light, many models of Macbook Pros are equipped with a digital Audio out. You can either use the standard analog 3.5mm Stereo jack (standard headphone connector), a 3.5mm miniSPDIF digital coax or miniTOSLINK digital optical cable (hence the red light). Windows may not know how to handle to audio out port until the proper drivers are installed and it may be enabling the digital signal by default. Installing the drivers mentioned above should set this back to normal operation.
    hope this helps.
    Toodles!

  • Audio jack output only mono?

    Anyone else experiencing the audio jack output as only mono?

    Depending upon which headset you are using and the 'jack' size, you may need to invest in an 'extension' to fit the jack all of the way into the output. Some have plastic that prevent complete insertion. If you purchase the extension that is made for the iPhone, it will fit your MBA.

  • Rear Audio Jack not Working on New Mac Pro

    Hello All,
    Here's the deal. I just pursuaded my company to buy a brand new Mac Pro to run FCP Studio 2 as a test run to see if they perform well enough to eventually replace our remaining PC's. We've had the Mac Pro for less then two weeks and I'm running into an issue that I can't resolve, and I don't want to fall on my face. The rear Audio input jack keeps failing. Meaning sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't when speakers are plugged into. The jack on the front works fine, but the rear jack doesn't appear to recognize the speakers after the computer is shut down then restarted. You have to restart the computer 2 or 3 times before the speakers start pumping out sound. Which in all honesty is extermely dissappointing to me. And if I have to bring this thing in to get serviced, my boss will not move forward with buying anymore Mac Pro's, which I'm working hard to make happen.
    Please help me out.
    Thank you all for your time

    I hear a woman saying "front left" and "front right" at the same time through my front speakers, through the speakers I have connected to the light-blue jack, and through the headphones connected in the front panel.
    Channels "rear left", "rear right", "LFE" and "Center" don´t make any sound.
    Every channel is unmuted in alsamixer, and it´s setted to use "6 channels".
    What can I do?

  • Audio Jack Output Problem

    When I hear music via iTunes with my Beats Mixr, I hear it louder with the right ear. Neither my Beats nor I have a problem. It comes from my MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2013, 4GB). What do I do?

    Thank you very much. I remember touching something in the Audio System Prefrences. I just didn't know what. Anyway, thanks. My friends said that either my 250€ Beats or my brand new MacBook Pro is broken. When i tell them what actually happened, I'm going to look like a person who has just started reading "MacBook Pro for Dummies" – if it exists!
    Thanks anyway.

  • No sound from front or read audio jack

    I am using an 810-230qe Phoenix Envy with WIndows 8.1 Pro. I am unable to hear sound from the front headphone jack or the rear audio jack. Speakers also do not work from the rear jack. I have an HDMI cable connected to my monitor, however, I went into the NVIDA controls and disabled sound for that. 
    I have uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled. No luck with either jack. Headphones work in all other devices. I have even tried different headphones. This is a new computer, just a few days old and this is the first time I tried to use sound. 
    Any ideas?

    Hello aloehnert,

    I understand you are having audio issues on your HP ENVY Phoenix 810-230qe CTO Desktop PC. You stated that you disabled the audio on your monitor does that mean it worked before you disabled it? Has the audio ever worked on this and is just not working now? If you go to the control panel and click on Sounds what devices do you see there and are they Enabled or Disabled?
    If you could answer these questions it would help a great deal in getting you  a possible solution. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

    TO Lenovo, Microsoft, Mentor Media;
        You FAILED!
        Your Windows 7 upgrade program has FAILED badly. I bought a Lenovo desktop PC a couple of months ago on the PROMISE that I would receive a FREE Windows 7 upgrade. I have found that it is impossible to ascertain the status of the order or shipment.
       YOU set certain EXPECTATIONS that YOU failed to live up to. YOU could help alleviate this problem by COMMUNICATING with your customers via an effective ONLINE mechanism. YOU have FAILED to do that.

    I think you are being a little harsh here. How exactly has lenovo failed you? Have you submitted an upgrade request? Have you tried to call lenovo support about the issue? The Upgrade process seemed pretty clear to me from the home page. Perhaps you could provide more details on what happened in your situation, instead of flaming lenovo. I am sure that someone here can help you get your upgrade sorted out.

  • P6N Diamond X-Fi Xtreme, back audio jack not working after windows reinstall

    Hi everyone,
    I've been having a problem with audio since reinstalling windows. Previously under windows xp sp3 i had no issues but after the most recent reinstall of windows xp, the rear jacks for the audio aren't working despite the front headphones jack working perfectly fine. Since this was only a short term measure, i didn't bother trying to sort it out until now, when I've now installed windows 7 on the computer and the issue still exists.
    I'm using the latest driver available on the msi website http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1168 and I have also tried using the audio driver patch available on the same page.
    The fact that there were no problems before a recent windows reinstall and that the issue is mentioned on the driver download page makes me think the problem is with the drivers and not with the hardware.
    I searched through the forums and while a fair few people seem to be having the same issue or similar issues with audio jacks not functioning properly, i couldn't find a relevant solution for me.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    Yep that sounds exactly like my problem. The issue lies with the on board soundcard and their vista drivers. Creatives' vista drivers are notoriously bad. This coupled with the fact their drivers won't even INSTALL on a p6n board because their drivers do not detect the onboard soundcard adds to the problem. As far as I see it there are two ways to solve this issue:
    1.) Buy a front audio panel addition to your case.
    I am not sure on your setup but here is one with HD audio support: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813999356
    And that will fix your back panel port, and give you the option to use the front as well.
    2.) Buy a new soundcard.
    This is what I did after learning that the onboard x-fi isn't even a real x-fi card. I opted to buy the X-Fi gamer (cheapest of the X-Fi cards) and so far the drivers have been acceptable in vista. My non-hd front ports work, as well as my back port.
    Another alternative would be to wait for MSI to release an update to the creative drivers that they provide. No guarantee on that though.

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 notebook, Windows 7: How do I disable an audio jack?

    My Pavilion dv7 notebook includes two audio jacks for headphones on its right side (my left when facing it.) Long story short, a hefty piece of an iPod headphone has dislodged and been stuck inside one of these two jacks; there's no way I'd be able to remove it without taking apart the notebook. I can still receive audio via headphones when I plug headphones into the other jack, but I can no longer receive audio from the internal speakers. 
    I'd like to diasble both headphone jacks manually when I'd like to hear the speakers --  but I can't figure out how. When I access my 'Speakers and Headphones Properties' (IDT High Definition Audio Codec, through Sounds --> Playback Devices) and attempt to disable the device, all sound is disabled. There appears to be no way to selectively disable either just the speakers or just the headphones. 
    Any ideas? 

    ...I'm still curious as to whether I can receive any assistance regarding this issue.

  • HP m7160n front audio jack problem

    I am running Vista Home on my m7160n Media Center PC.  I used to be able to plug in my headphones to the front audio jack and it would cut out the rear speaker output.  Now it doesn't!  I have gone into sound properties and is IS set to turn off rear jack, when the system detects a plug in the front jack.  The headphones still work, but i need the speakers off when using the headphones.  I hope thats enough information.
    This question was solved.

    Hi MrBassMan26,
    That is odd and sounds like the jack-detect isn't working right. Did this issue just start happening? Did it occur after installing anything, even a Windows Update?
    If it just started happening, you could try running a Windows System Restore to an earlier point when it worked properly. Or you could trying re-installing the sound driver or even installing an updated sound driver. That should take care of it, and if it doesn't you may need to make some configuration changes in one of the Sound properties (Windows or Realtek).
    I see that you have Vista, did you by chance upgrade to Vista from XP?
    Try installing the Vista sound driver from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&Down...
    Let us know how it goes.

  • P965 Neo-F audio jacks not working.

    I've been having serious issues with the audio jacks on the P965 Neo-F board.  I have actually tried two boards, convinced the first board was defective since my speakers worked fine on other computers.  On both the current board and the last board, I did a complete clean XP install, formatting my hard drives and installing the latest RealTek HD drivers (5.10.0.5404 dated 4/23/2007, from MSI).  The first board never so much as peeped, while the board I have now has made some sounds, although I honestly don't know why.  On this board, I had a set of Altic Lansing 2.1 speakers, but because the speakers would pop and make static noises every now and again, generally only if I bumped one of the small stereo speakers or wiggled the cords on the back of it, I thought perhaps the problem was the speakers being old.
    On the current board, I tested a monitor that has speakers in it, and there was no sound.  RealTek's sound manager, which I have installed, did not recognize that there was anything plugged into the jacks even though I had a line in, microphone, and line out plugged in.  When it did recognize the lino out, it also recognized the microphone.  However, it only recognized them for no more than a minute.  The new speakers (also Altec Lansing 2.1) made one squeak for less than a second; other than that, there has been no sound at all.
    I've tried several different RealTek HD drivers from MSI, Microsoft, and RealTek, but none have made any difference.  I've enabled and disabled only to re-enable the audio device through BIOS with no success.  I've checked the volume, DxDiag, and played music--Winamp and iTunes are both making sound, but no sound is coming out.
    I'm pretty much out of ideas here.  The only thing I can think to do is get a sound card, but I don't see why I should have to do that when I'm not an audiophile and the board jacks should suit me fine.  I am quite at my wit's end with this, and would appreciate any help I can get.

    It recognizes that I pluged something into the microphone jack but can't get the microne to work.
    This problem usually has to do with the fact that the computer case used, or to be more precise: its front panel audio connectors are not fully Intel HD Audio compliant.  Disable the Automatic Front Panel Jack Detection Function in the Realtek HD Audio Manager and retry.
    If your mic still does not work as it should, browse through the Realtek Program Folder and look for an executeable file named "miccal.exe".  Run it to calibrate your microphone.  Also, enable "Microphone boost" in the Mixer-tab of the Realtek configuration program. The top half part of the mixer Tab ("Playback") can be scrolled to the left via <> buttons.  Scroll left and localize the input jack your mic is plugged into (example:  "Rear Pink In").  Click on the Options button and enable microphone boost.
    Quote
    When I go into the mixer settings I can't adjust adjust any of the inputs - cd, mic, line etc. Although it shows places for a sliding volume adjusters but doesn't show a slider to be able to adjust the volumes of the inputs.
    That is totally normal and not a problem.  It is basically a limitation of the Realtek HD Audio Driver in combination with Windows XP.  It has nothing to do with the board.  Here is an Asus-example:
    There is nothing wrong here.  If you scroll through that output devices/jacks in the Mixer tab of the Realtek HD Audio Manager, you will find that you can adjust the input/output volume for each audio jack individually.  Doesn't make sense to adjust input volume in the output section?  Well, ask Realtek which genius designed the interface and ask him personally.
