Windows 8.1 audio issues on t530

Hi there,
after 8.1 windows upgrade, I started having sound issues:
- not able to run offline audtio/video files with error saying that other program is using my audio hardware atm
or
- no sound at all
in order to get it fixed, im using cmd commands: net stop audiosrv and net start audiosrv
it temporarily fixes my issue, though it happens at least couple times a day and I would like to get rid of thiss issue for good, any ideas what might help?

DV5-1117el & Windows 7 - System audio issue

Hi,I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit and installed HP Audio drivers "Driver CODEC audio ad alta definizione IDT". Sound function but I am very unhappy with system sound level: I can barely hear it while instead I can hear sound being reproduced by videos. What is wrong? Is there a separate system sound level to adjust?
Here some screenshots hoping they can help. When Instead I test sound in Advanced Tab I can hear it fine. Here is the test I do from: Please help. Thank you

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv5-1117el Notebook and issues with the Audio Software. I would uninstall both that you have listed. Restart the Notebook. Here is a link to the Audio driver for Windows 7 and your system. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that might need updating. Please note remove any and all USB and HDMI devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. I hope something here helps. Thanks.

Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
Neither will install.
Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
My only issues are audio.
Here they are:
1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
Thanks, Dr. Duke

PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
imac Sound issues.

On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all!

Two issues getting a headless error form windows & my clips audio plays in the preview but not once placed in th timeline. I taped with a panasonic HC 750 V. i believe it is with clips filmed using directed not surround audio.

The title more or less says it all. I have Elements 13 & am Using the Panasonic HC 750V. I shot in AVCHD 1080/60p & instead of surround sound choose the directed feature to focus on the voices in front of me. The audio works in preview but not on the timeline. I am also getting Headless errors when working with premiere that pop up in windows but it does not shut down the system.
Any help apprecaited.

pc
Have you updated your Premiere Elements 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update. If not, please do so.
Just some points of clarification on the AVCHD 1080/60p with which you are having audio problem in Premiere Elements 13.
a. I see no option to record to tape with your Panasonic model. Is there one? if not, what was recorded to, a memory card?
b. When you talk about directed not surround audio, are you saying that your video uses Dolby Digital 2 channel stereo instead of 5.1 channel?
c. Is your AVCHD footage presented to you as AVCHD.mts rather than AVCHD.mp4. I think that is the case if you are referring to Dolby Digital
rather than AAC audio.
Are you saying that you get play back video and audio if you double click the video's thumbnail in Project Assets, but you get video but no audio after you drag the file to the Timeline and play back its contents in the Edit area monitor?
a. Have you checked the Volume control under the Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume Panel expanded to make sure the Volume has been taken all the way down? Under that condition, you will get play back in the Preview Window, but no audio from the Timeline level play back in the Edit area monitor.
b. In that same regard, if you look at the Timeline audio clip, note a yellow orange line that runs horizontally across the duration of the audio clip. Is that at the bottom of the frame or is it in the middle or at the top?
Do you work with the Elements Organizer at all? That Headess issue sounds like an Elements Organizer issue. More on that later. That issue should not prevent you from continuing your work. But we will explore that next.
Thanks.

IMovie audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !

iMovie 11 audio issues. Fine in timeline, but when rendering to iTunes or Media Browser, audio from certain portions of movie files are heard in places where it shouldn't be !
I have created a project where I have a montage of photos and video clips edited together with music under. Some audio portions of the video files are being muted in some areas and those portions are being heard in another part of the project. This is not for all video clips only certain ones.
The project plays fine in the timeline, but when I render the project thru iTunes or Media Browser, this is when the project goes corrupt.
I tried detaching the Audio from the video clips and this somewhat worked, but the original problem still exists with certain audio still being heard where it's not supposed to be.

I have a fix - or rather, a workaround.
WARNING: It is lengthy, but still far better than starting a new project from scratch.
I had this same issue and none of my transitions/clips were at custom speeds, nor did I have anything else weird going on. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do within iMovie to fix this, at least there wasn't for me. iMovie is BY FAR the buggiest software I have ever used and if you haven't already spent hours slaving away on a project, you are so much better off using just about anything else to edit your video.
...But let's assume you have already spent many hours working on your project and you don't want to start all over. Well then, you have at least one option.
It's a pain in the neck, but it's infinitely better than restarting your project from scratch.
This will require:
A software called Soundflower (which is free) and some kind of audio editing software (I use Logic, but really any should work).
1.) You're going to need to export your video with the messed up audio. Typically if you're audio is messing up, you're video is at least usually working just fine (at least it always does for me).
2.) You're going to need to open that video in your audio software and import only the audio. If your software doesn't give you this option, then you're going to need to record the audio from your video using the audio software and Soundflower. You can find tutorials on how to do this, but it's honestly pretty straightforward once you start playing around with you Mac's audio I/O settings. Remember to have your computer's volume all the way up when doing this.
3.) Watch/listen to your video and make notes of where the audio errors occur. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND writing down times too, as they will be extremely helpful later.
4.) Now were going to rip some working audio from the iMovie project itself. Go back into your iMovie project and only play back audio while in the edit window for this step. Do NOT play your project back in full screen.
This part is key: if you try to play back your project from the beginning the audio will usually still mess up. So, what you're gonna have to do is go back on your edit window timeline right before these errors occur and play that specific clip back while recording this working audio with Soundflower and your audio software. Essentially we're only recording the parts of the audio where these errors occur, so try to do this in order if you can. Try to leave several seconds of audio in before the error - that way we can use it as reference when we construct our new audio track.
5.) Now in your audio software you should have your original error-filled audio track and the new clips that we just captured. This part can be painstaking if you're not familiar with audio editing softwares, but as you'll learn, it's really not that hard.
You're going to look at your original audio track and compare it to your new working audio clips. You should be able to notice where those new clips are supposed to go by looking at the identical (or close to identical) waveform shapes in your original audio track. The two should correspond with one another. If you don't understand what I mean right now, you will when you start playing around with the audio. This is why marking times is very important.
Take your new clips and split them up if you haven't already, that way you can drag them around and edit them separately from one another. Essentially your going to line these new clips up with original and then replace the original parts with new ones.
We need to get this as precise as possible, so start off by getting them as close as you can with your naked eye, and then use a zoom tool to zoom in as much as possible so that you can get them lined up PERFECTLY, or at least extremely close. In some softwares you can just drag these new clips on top of the old track, but most of the time you will need to actually cut out the old piece and replace it with the new one. In doing this, zoom in and make sure that you are NOT cutting out a bigger space than your new clip will fill - otherwise you will have small gaps in your audio.
VERY IMPORTANT: Also make sure that this new audio track starts at the EXACT SAME time as your original - otherwise your new audio will be out of sync.
I know this part can really suck if you're not used to audio editing, but at this point, there is little other choice.
6.) Once you are done with this, export your newly pieced together audio track.
7.) Now open iMovie and create a NEW project. Re-import the video that you exported earlier that has the messed up audio. This might take a while, so just be patient.
8.) Then right click the clip and select "Detach Audio". This will do just that - allowing you to edit the audio separately from the video. Now delete this audio.
9.) Now, import the new, perfect audio track that we just made and make sure that it starts at the start of the project. Make sure it's in sync and that everything works.
Now just export your new video with the working audio and you should be done. Since we have given iMovie the audio with no editing actually being done in iMovie, it does not have to generate its own audio now and you should have absolutely no errors now - unless there is some that you forgot to take out earlier.
YOU'RE FINALLY DONE!!!
I know this entire process *****, but if you're that far into your project, there is little else that you can do. Now you've learned your lesson:
DON'T USE IMOVIE EVER AGAIN.
I hope this helped!

STILL have MBP audio issues after Bootcamp 3.1

I have a mid-2009 MBP 13" with Snow Leopard, running 32-bit XP Professional with SP3. I just updated to Bootcamp 3.1 after dealing with low audio, robo-voice from the internal microphone, and spooky red light/trackpad nonsense for months. While 3.1 fixed the red light and the trackpad, my audio issues still remain; I get very poor volume on the Windows side and my voice is still distorted, slow and generally crappy when I use the built-in microphone in the microphone test. The mic doesn't work at all in Steam, which is the whole reason I want it. Was 3.1 supposed to fix these audio issues? It doesn't explicitly say so on the download page, but it seems like it's been quite effective for other people, so if it is supposed to fix the audio I suppose I'm going down to the Apple Store.
If 3.1 wasn't a magic bullet, can anyone suggest a fix? I'm pretty fed up by now with this issue. I tried reinstalling the drivers after extracting them from the BC 2.2 update (found that process on these forums), and it did nothing. The link to the New Jersey school's site (another suggestion from the forums) no longer works for whatever reason.
Thanks!

Use Driver Sweeper and the tips on how to use and troubleshoot
http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/
You may also want to use Windows Installer Cleanup as I mentioned.
Also CCleaner can help.
MSCONFIG.exe can lead you to the services and startup items being loaded
Programs control panel of course to uninstall the program
Device Manager to rollback; or uninstall and manage device drivers
Apple installs a number of drivers, services, startupitems so you really have to get familiar with the OS and where/how to manage things.
Windows 7 supports RESTORE POINTS. Use 'em! and set one before just in case (any good installer or update should create a new one but good to have your own), and make sure there is 10-30GB of space for restore points.
System control panel advanced protection -> configure your boot volume settings

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.

Excessive Audio Issues

With every new update of skype, the audio issues keep on multiplying. The quality of the software has drastically degraded as soon as microsoft took over it, for some reason.
With the latest update, when trying to call or recieve a call I get a "There was a problem with your recording device" error and the dialing disconnects. After about 10 to 15 failed attempts the call connects succesfully. Sometimes restarting skype makes the call connect instantaneously without recieveing the error, over and over again. However the bugs dont end here. On ending the call, the audio stops routing to my headphones and is stuck to being routed to the laptop speakers. Removing and reinserting the headphone jack does not help. The problem persists untill I quit skype, which fixes the routing problem.
I tried using the windows 8 app for skype instead, but that is even worse and has a range of other issues with it.
If anyone else has similar issues and has found a solution for these numerous skype bugs, please let me know. My audio driver is up to date and I have no other audio issues with any other software.

All Skype to telephone and mobile calls disconnect after a few seconds.
My account has adequate credit.

Captivate 4 (Windows7 & 64bit) Audio Issue

Hello,
I have read the Windows 7 & 64 bit thread about how Captivate 4 not work within a Windows 7/ 64-bit environment, some how it worked on this computer before I adopted it. I am trying to record audio on a project and when I go into Audio-Setting--the input device area is greyed out and I can't select a device. I have a Microsoft headset attached to the laptop by USB. I also cannot click on the Calibrate input button because it is greyed out.
This laptop was used to create several Captivate 4 projects without any audio issues as far a I know. I just adopted the laptop and unfortunately the previous user is no longer at this office.
Thanks,

Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.

Audio issues after converting a media file to WMV

Hello,
I am using the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 version, on a PC (windows Vista).
An issue often occures after converting a media (video + audio) into Windows Media format : once the conversion is over (after 2 - 3 hours for a 1 hour media file), the audio cannot be heard : we can only hear a very annoying bip all along the video.
This is currently the third time I am trying to make this conversion, each time I have to wait for the end of the conversion (3 hours) to notice that the sound is not correct, so I have to run the conversion once again.
Do you have clues concerning this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Thomas Drouault
If you are using Premiere Elements 11 on Windows Vista 32 or 64 bit, it is a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of the 64 bit system and a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit system. As such, the maximum supported installed RAM is 4.0 GB of which 3.0 GB or less are available. But we will put that aside for now.
What are the properties of your source media and what project preset are you setting? Please give the details of the Publish+Share/Computer/Windows Media preset as well as the settings under the presets Advanced Button/Video and Audio tabs. Of specific interest are the combo of video and audio codecs.
Please confirm that you are saying that the problem does not exist for playback of the rendered Timeline in the Edit Mode Monitor prior to the Windows Media export.
Thanks.

Playing to DMP100 in Windows 7 - firewall setting issue?

Hi,
I set up my DMP100 today and installed the Cisco media client and media server on my Windows 7 box - I can play to the DMP 100 just fine using that approach. But I really want to use my Windows Media Player instead and use the "Play To" feature. However when I try to do that I get an error that the media server cannot be contacted. I messed around a long time and finally figured out that turning off my Windows Firewall makes this issue go away - the "Play To" in Windows Media Player works. However I don't want to leave my firewall turned off and I can't find anything that tells me what program/port/protocol I need to create a new firewall rule for so I can turn it back on. Does anyone have any ideas about what I should do hear? It looks like the DMP is trying to call the Windows Media Server and failing to punch through the firewall. At least that's my best guess.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi!
Try creating exceptions on the firewall for these three applications on your computer.

No Audio Output Device is installed Windows 8 - no audio device detected in Device Manager

OS: Previously using Windows 8.1, now rolled back to Windows 8.
HP Pavilion p7-1423w
Product Number: H3Z92AA#ABA
This just seemed to happen on its own follwing a standard Microsoft Windows update. Suddenly, there is a red X on the speaker displayed down in the taskbar area, with the message: No Audio Output Device is installed. This originally happened using Windows 8.1. I tried numerous suggestions and nothing seemed to relate to my problem. Checking the Device Manager is Windows is useless, because no audio device is even detected. Drivers cannot be updated when no device is recognized as existing. I checked in the computer setup prior to booting to Windows and I cannot find anywhere to turn audio on. I thought that possibly audio had been disabled, at the source. Either that or the onboard audio on the motherboard has completely failed.
Hoping that a reset to factory settings would help, I backed up all of my data and proceeded with the reset. Now back to Windows 8, the same issue exists with the original factory settings. No audio output device detected.
Can onboard audio be enabled somewhere in the setup? OR is my motherboard's onboard audio fried?

Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security. Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

[solved] Strange Audio Issue

I am experiencing a strange audio issue with my Intel-HDA ICH7:
# lspci -v
00:1b.0 Class 0403: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Unknown device 30a5
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 22
Memory at d2400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access>
when I installed Arch linux the first time a mounth ago on this computer, I had a sound problem that was solved in a very strange way.
Everything worked fine until a week or so (I believe from Alsa 1.0.12). Now sometimes sound works and sometimes it doesn't. For example sometime I boot the computer and have no sound, then I reboot it without doing anything, and then sound works.
I have tried messing with the modprobe.conf:
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.11 ---
#alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
#alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
#options snd-hda-intel model=F1734
options snd-hda-intel model=z71v
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1
but it was useless. If I put back the modules in rc.conf everything is worse: sound doesn't work at all.
A diff between lsmod in a "working boot" and a "without sound boot" showed that the same modules where in kernel memory.
A diff between dmesg showed this difference:
< hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode...
was present in the not working boot. This line is absent in a working boot dmesg.
The only way to make the sound card working everytime is to remove the snd* modules load from the boot sequence and load the modules "by hand" after the login.
Any ideas?
PS : If something is unclear due to my poor English please tell my and I'll try to explain it better.

Also, mine has no PCM listed, I need to use "front" as my PCM level... not to mention the UI is way off with 'tpb' (if you have a thinkpad)
Yes it's not an Arch Linux related problem: I had problems with Debian (Etch and Sid based distros like ubuntu) too (but there I had no modprobe issue on the init sequence. Maybe is a problem of shared IRQs, but I have to study the existing documentation as I am a newbie). The difference is that Arch is simple enought for me to try something like modprobing "by hand" in the init sequence. PCM seems to work, however the volume is very low and I have found no way to make the mic work. Under Mepis I was able to make it work only if I plugged it in windows xp and then reboot into Linux. But I can't try it with Arch as I have erased the windows partition...
I will try the new kernel, study the documentation and then report. Hoping this will be usefull to others too.

IMovie for iphone 4 audio issues

I'm noticing 2 serious audio issues:
1) after adding some music from my song library to a clip of my wife talking, I can barely hear her. iMovie is supposed to reduce the volume of the song. Well, it doesn't look like it's doing it properly--the volume of the music is WAY too loud.
2) when I add a 2nd clip of her talking, the audio on this clip disappears entirely. All I hear is the song. Even after removing the song from the timeline, the audio of the clip is still missing. I can't believe the imovie team never noticed this bug.

I believe when you add a Video clip to a Project that contains a Music track, the Audio for the Video track is muted. Simply enable it via the "Clips Settings".
Try this:
Double tap the Video Clip to bring up the "Clips Settings" window.
Tap the ON / OFF toggle to turn the Audio ON for your video track.
