Windows 8 Audio Problem

Hi all,
I've just installed Windows 8 on my macbook pro 13" early 2011, and while everything works perfecly, my audio does not work at all. The drivers are installed, supposedly, but when I check the device manager, it says that the drive could not be started. Tried to reinstall the bootcamp drivers, so I downloaded the package for my macbook from the official apple sites, but that did not solve the problem. I also tried finding a solution here, but the answer were not working for me. Did anybody got this working?
Thanks for your answers!

Hi Areta,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Notebook and issues with sound drivers. I would be happy to assist if needed as there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Here is a link to The HP Support Assistant. The HP Support Assistant will help with the updating drivers if needed. After an update sometimes you need to check to make sure all the software and drivers have been updated. Restart the computer after the update has been completed. Here is a link to troubleshooting sound if you need it.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi Dilip,
Are you using latest version of RDP version?
Did you check whether the required option is selected for audio redirection?
Please see whether you have selected below options correctly.
Also try to enable policy setting and check,
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection
Allow audio and video playback redirection

Audio problem with T61 running windows 7

hello,
After installing windows 7 Enterprise on my T61, I have no sound.
Driver seems to be installed correctly (Device manager), speakers taskbar icon looks & functioning OK, but i can't hear nothing.
I've installed the suggested Vista driver from Lenovo web site, but the problem remains...
I must mention that there was no problem while using Windows 7 RC, the problem started after installing a clean copy of Win 7 pro.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Eyal.

I've installed win7 over a dozen times on T61 models and never had a problem. Perhaps if you can provide more information, did you reformat your drive before install, or install overtop an existing windows version? If it helps, all my installations are on a freshly formatted partition. Windows installs working drivers on everything except the ricoh card reader, for that you just need to manually install the vista drivers from device manager and it will work. I then run system update and it installs newer drivers for some of the hardware, but like I said, never had an audio problem.

Audio problems with SBLive! 5.1 and Windows XP Pro,

I just reinstalled Windows XP Pro from a slipstreamed CD with SP2 on it. (That means I can't just remove SP2 without reinstalling Windows.) Now, when I play a game the audio skips and stutters for the first 5-0 min of gameplay. The skipping and stuttering goes away eventually, but its REALLY annoying. This is the only hardware problem I've had with SP2, and I would like to know if there is a patch in the planning to fix all the SP2 Sound Blaster problems, or do we all have to find our own work around for these things.
If anyone has a solution for this please let me know. I've already installed the UniDriver thing, and it still acts up. I've tried removing and reinstalling everything, cleaning out my registry, and rebooting. Defragging my HD did not work either. Nothing seems to work.
CPU= AMD Athlon XP 2600+
RAM=704Mb
Video=GeForce 4 MX440 AGP 28DDR
Please help soon.

I think I may have solved my problem. I recently installed Full Spectrum Warrior. I installed it to a different dri've than all of my other games. Lo and behold, no audio problems. After some further investigation, I believe that the audio problem lies in an old hard disk dri've that is in the beginning stages of failure. After I actually thought about it, my load times from this hard disk have been taking forever, but Full Spectrum Warrior loads very quickly. The dri've is going to die! But I guess it's ok, the dri've is almost 0 years old, and this is the 3rd computer its been in.
Thanks for your help,
Josh

Lenovo y510p audio problem on Windows 10 x64

Hi i am using lenovo y510p and i having some problem.After installing Windows 10 x64 I can`t use the 5.1 speakers connected via optics. At sound check box gives "Failed to play test sound"/
To solve these problem I tried:
1. Reinstalt drivers Realtek (tried as a version from official Lenovo suport and the latest version from Realtek);
2.Plug and unplug optics (Realtek Didgital Output) in "Sound";
3.Restart the Windows Audio service.4. Reinstalt chipset and audio drivers.
Now the external speakers working in stereo .

The drivers listed for under Y510p was not the lastest for our audio hardware, hence why I gave you a link to (what I think) is the latest version. Those should have no problem working under Win 10 (and maybe Win 8.1).
Y510p has a "weak" audio chipset in the sense that it isn't handled well by the drivers providided on Realtek's homepage.

HOW TO FIX NO AUDIO PROBLEM IN FLASH (4 SOLUTIONS)

This solution is for WINDOWS ONLY!!! Unfortunately I believe
it is a bug in flash itself as I have read more than one instance
of this same no audio problem occuring on MAC'S and LINUX based
systems as well. IF YOU KNOW OF SOLUTIONS TO THE MAC OR LINUX BASED
PROBLEMS, PLEASE POST THEM IN THIS THREAD.
Description of the problem: Video sites such as YouTube,
VideoSift, Break, Google Videos, Yahoo, and a plethora of others do
not stream embedded audio. Viewing a YouTube video, for example, on
VideoSift.com results in the video playing back with no audio.
However, by going directly to YouTube and playing back the same
video, it appears to work.
THERE ARE SEVERAL POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.
Problem: You may be missing your WAVEMAPPER driver.
Cause: Wavemapper driver was removed during installation or
updating of the Flash Player. It might not necessarily be Flash
that removes it but apparently something does.
Solution #1: Google "Flash No Audio WAVEMAPPER" for
directions, its been covered a bunch, but basically requires
running REGEDIT and readding the WAVEMAPPER key to the appropriate
location and value in the registry. Its not as difficult as it
sounds.
http://weyland.be/wrdprss/index.php/2006/08/22/no-sound-in-macromedia-flash-player-9/
if your wavemapper key is installed correctly...
Possible Cause: Corrupted or damaged flash content preventing
audio streaming from working correctly.
Soltuion #2: Run CC Cleaner and delete only cached Flash
content. It is a free program, again just google "download CC
Cleaner". This particular solution worked for me.
If CC Cleaner also does not work, the description of your
problem may differ slightly. In my case on several computers, one
day it worked, the next day it didnt. If it never worked, this
would be a logical solution for you. One variation of this that I
have found is to create a new Windows User Account and log into it.
The reason the CC Cleaner method may work better is that the User
Accounts have their own separate cache folders so a corrupted cache
preventing audio playback on one profile will not be available on
the other User Account to cause the same problem. I wont explain
how to do this as the CC Cleaner will work better but if you are
curious, yet again google "create new windows user accounts". I
have also seen this method work on one of my affected computers but
it did not fix the issue on the account I was having problems with.
http://www.ccleaner.com Install
and run it, use it only to remove Flash under the Applications Tab,
Multimedia, Adobe Flash Player. Check it and uncheck everything
else, then hit Analyze then Run Cleaner.
Possible Cause: Missing Codec
Solution #2: Download and install the K-Lite Codec pack.
Again, google it. A CODEC stands for COmpressor DECompressor and is
a way to make audio and video files small enough to be transferred
on the internet. There are a lot of different codecs and if you
want to play back a video that was compressed using a particular
codec, you will need that same corresponding codec to decompress
your media source and view its content. Basically if you dont have
a codec, you cant observe the content of the media. If you have a
VCR and want to play back a DVD, you are out of luck unless you get
a DVD Player. DivX and XVid Codecs are some of the very popular
codecs used on the net, but to get those, I still suggest getting
the K-Lite Codec Pack.
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm
Solution #4: Go back to Flash 7. If it aint broke dont fix
it. This Final alternative is only to be used as a last resort.
You'll have to get rid of Flash 9 and go back to Flash 7. The
really tricky part here is that you have to prevent Flash from auto
updating itself. If you install Flash 7, and hit up YouTube, you'll
immediately get Flash 9+ installed again with the same problems. So
AFTER you uninstall Flash 9 (use Macromedias / Adobes uninstaller,
yet again go google it) make a new text file and name it MMS.CFG,
in the file put this one line "AutoUpdateDisable=1" (without the
quotes) and put it in BOTH your c:\windows\system32 AND
c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash folders. This will prevent flash
from Auto Updating to 9+, then have to find some place to download
the old flash 7 installer. I found one here.
http://www.intercomm.com/downloads/Flash7.
Only problem is that most sites will try to make you install Flash
9 and Flash 7 does not work on all sites, but it does on some like
YouTube. DO NOT UPDATE TO FLASH 9+ IF YOU USE THIS METHOD.
You will probably want to IMMEDIATELY go to
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
after installing Flash 7 and UNCHECK the update feature
I've tried to write this quick little guide at 3AM so Im not
going to take more time to research other ways to fix this problem.
If you have other solutions, such as for MAC and LINUX, or feel
like adding on to something else that I've written here (links
would be useful to the downloads I suggested) or correcting any
mistakes I probably have made, please say so.
One of these solutions is bound to help you. Theres multiple
causes for this no audio problem so there is obviously multiple
fixes.

Windows Audio always switches to 5.1 settings

Hi,
before I start, I already searched this forum regarding my problem, with no results.
Basic information: I'm using headphones (Sennheiser HD 598), which are connected to the Headphone jack of my Sound Blaster Z. My settings in the Sound Blaster Software are Heaphones, everything else (SBX Pro Studio, Equalizer, etc) is switched off. Windows Audio Settings are set to Stereo.
My problem is that every time I restart my Computer the Windows Audio Settings switch to 5.1 and I have to manually switch it to Stereo again.
Edit: Well, I'm an idiot Found the solution with the SBZ Switcher

I think I may have solved my problem. I recently installed Full Spectrum Warrior. I installed it to a different dri've than all of my other games. Lo and behold, no audio problems. After some further investigation, I believe that the audio problem lies in an old hard disk dri've that is in the beginning stages of failure. After I actually thought about it, my load times from this hard disk have been taking forever, but Full Spectrum Warrior loads very quickly. The dri've is going to die! But I guess it's ok, the dri've is almost 0 years old, and this is the 3rd computer its been in.

Macbook Pro XP Boot Camp Audio Problem

I've got a uni body Macbook Pro running XP with boot camp. Everything has been fine for the last 4 or 5 months I've had it. In the last few weeks though, I've been having really annoying audio problems. The only reason I have it XP even installed is for games (Battlefield 2 and Steam). I'd run skype to talk to a buddy and then play the game. Audio was fine, including the mic.
Lately, skype will just shut down out of no where and give me that error message where it asks you to send a report. Also, the audio in Battlefield 2 will just cut out. I'd still be in the game and connected but there would be no audio, except for the game VOIP. Remember things were working fine for months.
First I tried repairing with the Mac disk, then I tried different Real Tek drivers, then I tried uninstalled and reinstalling the game. None of that worked. Finally, I nuked the partition and did a clean install. The first thing I installed was BF2. Guess what. SAME EXACT PROBLEM. Audio cut out about 10 minutes in. In game VOIP was fine but all other audio was gone.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas at ALL? There aren't exactly a bunch of different drivers I can try, and like I said I've already tried reinstalled the drivers from the mac disk. I have no idea what else to do.
tl:dr - new mbp audio worked fine for months, lately audio in games totally cuts out. Tried reinstalled game, drivers, etc, didn't work. Nuked from orbit and did clean bootcamp install of XP. Battlefield 2 has same problem, same with skype. What next?

What anti-virus solution are you running in Windows?
Users have experienced crashes and blue screens of death from Norton products. Norton has resolved these issues in their 2009 product line. I would only recommend Norton 2009 products, Kaspersky, and AVG for anti-virus solutions.
Have you formatted your Windows partition as NTFS, or has it been formatted as Fat 32?
Fat 32 will not handle file sizes of 3.5 GB or larger, and, overall, it seems to always cause issues.
Have you tried a SMC reset?

Audio problem Premiere Elements 9 MTS extension

I open a new tread because the other tread was at the end.
I'm looking for people having PE9 running on Windows 7-64 (Ultimate) and having audio problems (or having no problems) with AVCHD files with the extension MTS.
I'm investigating this problem for some months now and tried all suggestion done to me in other treads. Such as all project settings.
In the near past I had PE8 running on Windows Vista, where I had no audio problems with MTS files.
The more I read in forums the more I'm convinced it's the combination windows 7 (64 Ultimate) with PE9 (maybe also 8).
So please let me know when you have PE9 (or PE8) running correct on Windows 7. Other operating systems I know it works fine.
Thank you!!!

It works fine for me on W7u-64 bit. The only problems I have are inconveniences - opening files from the starting window is slow compared with PRE7, redrawing thumbnails on the timeline is agonisingly slow (although you can carry on working while the thumbnails are redrawing), and the loss of all the GPU Effects and Transitions.
Cheers,

HP ProBook 4530s AUDIO PROBLEM WIN 8.1

Hello. I have HP Probook 4530s. After I installed Windows 8.1 update 1 the sound driver stopped working properly. When I want to play some music, video or even system sounds, sound appears after 1-2 minutes. At that time HDD usage is 100% cause of windows audio device graph isolation. I’ve installed that IDT High Definition (HD) Audio Driver from HP’s driver support site, but that’s not working. As I see in device manager driver’s release date is 24.10.2012. I think, it’s too old for Windows 8.1. Can you help me? Is there any other newer version of that sound driver?

Hi,
Please using Device Manager to uninstall the existing driver and try the following driver:

Getting Around MPEG Streamclip "No Audio" Problem

(Long post; apologies in advance.)
I needed to get around the MPEG Streamclip "no audio" problem that other people here have had. I just found a workaround that more-or-less works for my specific situation ... and it's free to boot.
Since other people are having this problem, I thought I'd let you know what happened to me, so you can decide if this is something you want to try. If you do, I suggest posting replies here so we all can learn (if that's okay with the board moderators here).
QTAmateur for MacOS X is available at http://www.mikeash.com/software/qtamateur/ . The developer has a somewhat full explanation of what it does at the site, so I won't repeat it here (and I don't get anything for talking about it here; I just want to share the good news).
Right now I'm field recording with a Flip Mino camera (non-HD), which saves video/audio to an AVI file (3ivx MPEG-4, 640x480) at 30 fps, with 44.1 kHz audio (Microsoft ADPCM). Funny thing is the files from my Flip actually imported into FCE without any conversion, but I had to render everything. And the video looked like crap. Hated the rendering and the look, so I searched for other solutions.
After paying for a couple of things that didn't work (lessons learned there), I finally found MPEG Streamclip. Since I'm using Snow Leopard, I sunk the additional $20 into the dang MPEG-2 playback component after my initial export try didn't produce any audio. After the component install, I still didn't have audio. Grrrrr.
So I Googled a bunch of keywords, and I somehow stumbled across this QTA package. Snow Leopard users should note a minor drawback here: QTA needs QuickTime 7, which gets blown away in a Snow Leopard upgrade and is not included in new Macs with Snow Leopard. Users can get off of their Install DVD, though, so it's not a huge deal.
When exporting from QTA, I matched its settings (audio and video) with the ones I found in this document: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12274888&#12274888 . QTA's export interface is actually QT7s, so at least that's familiar.
The only problem I'm having is that even though I set QTA to export at 29.97 fps, the exported files are still at 30 fps. A quick change in FCE upon import is the only thing I needed to use the file without rendering. I also had to change the fps setting on my LiveType files.
The only thing I need to figure out is to how to match up some studio-recorded audio with all of the above, so I don't have to render the studio audio and so it comes out at the equivalent of 30 fps. I think all I need to do is record at 44.1 KHz and I'm okay.
Of course, this is all my experience, and I realize others may not be able to work with this kind of setup. But I think this is an interesting workaround .. I wouldn't really call it a full solution, though, mainly because of the 29.97 fps versus 30 fps aspect.
One other quick thing: I'm not sure if this works without that $20 MPEG-2 playback component from Apple (thanks for that charge, Apple!), since I already had the component installed when I discovered QTA. Someone without the component, though, can download this and see if it works. If it does, then we all know that we don't need to spend the extra $20 for it to work.
If you decide to take the plunge, please let us know here. Thanks for reading.

@Tom and @Meg:
Thanks so much for your replies (speedy, too!). I especially want to thank Meg, who took the time to replicate the problem (which confirms to myself that I'm not nuts ). At least I know I have an ultimate "savior" in QT7 Pro.
Before I spend that final $30, though, I want to see if Tom can help, based on what the QT Inspector says about my .avi files from the Flip. Here's what it says:
VID00001.AVI
Format: Generic MPEG-4, 640 x 480, Millions
Microsoft ADPCM, Mono, 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 3408.53 kbits/s
Normal Size: 640 x 480 pixels
Current Size: 640 x 480 pixels (Actual)
(that's word for word, except for the source [file location]; wish I could figure out how to paste in the window from my Grab of it.)
I've already done the exports in the same way Meg indicated in her reply, trying all kinds of combinations. When exporting, though, I've always used DV/DVCPRO w/audio @ uncompressed 48k, and frame size @ 720x480 @ 29.97fps settings (saw those in another post here at the forum). I'm thinking those aren't contributing to my situation.
Whaddya think, Tom?
BTW, the biggest reason why I want to have the audio is to easily sync the audio off the digital recorder (I hook myself up with a lav mic) to the audio coming off of the Flip. I do the ol' "triple clap" trick to sync audio, so that helps -- thank goodness for audio waveforms in FCE.
Once synced, I then delete the Flip audio and move the digital recorder audio up to A1/A2 (although I delete the A2 audio channel). Sounds 1000% better than the Flip audio, as I record outside and the Flip mic picks up wind big-time.
BTW, Tom: I bought your book earlier this week. It's really, really good. You could teach an entire college semester class off of this book, and do it well. I'm getting to more of the lessons this week.

Windows audio service

Yesterday my audio stopped working. I replaced speakers but problem persists. Icon of speaker on bottom has an x. Error message is that Windows Audio Service is not enabled....it then asks if I wish it to be enabled. I respond yes...but
nothing occurs. It also suggests that device for playback or audio isn't installed....not sure how all this came about, nor what to do.

Method 1:
Run Audio troubleshooter
Press Win + S keys and in the Search box type in Troubleshooting. Under Hardware and Sound Click Playing Audio.
Method 2:
Check Windows Audio Service is running. Check the services manually.
I suggest that you check if the dependency services are started and check if you have the same issue.
a. Click Start, type Services.msc in the Start Search box.
b. Scroll down the list of services, right-click Windows Audio and select Start.
c. Select Properties for Windows Audio and set its Startup Type to Automatic.
Method 3:
If the dependency services are not starting, you can uninstall and reinstall the Audio drivers.

Windows Audio Service Unique behaviour

hi everyone,
I am using HP 1000 notebook PC ( Core i3 ) with Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
The problem is that when i start my laptop windows give a wellcome sound but after that windows audio service seems to be down because if i play something i can't. Wmp just says cannot play file.
So i have checked the audio service from Services.exe.
Its status is started and set to start automatically.So it shows that service is running but its not.
And strange thing is that when i just refresh Windows Audio Service everythings works good for almost 1 hour and then again wiothout any notice or change in service status it stops working.
So when i keep refreshing service it keeps working.
Please guide how can i make audio playback remain good ?
Thank you.

Guys ,i want to report that when i reinstalled the latest driver from hp website the problem persisted.
But after all i tried a same hd audio driver that i got in the software backup of my hp laptop that hp itself already saved in my system when i bought it.
when i installed that driver that was given in drivers backup believe me the problem is gone.
The change that i noted is that in Startup services (by msconfig.exe) a new option Realtek HD audio manager appeared that is checked to startup at system startup so in this way audio service functions good and problem is gone.
That option didn't appeared when i installed the latest driver from the hp website.
So Really Thank you everyone who has helped me.
Thank You.
Hello again HassanMeekal.
If the generic driver bundled with Windows works without any issues I'd say stick with that one. There shouldn't be many, if any, features that you'll be missing out on.
Have a great day.

Computer freezes when watching TV show when Windows Audio started

Sorry in advance for the length of this post. I am currently running itunes 7.0.2.16. I can't load an earlier version because it tells me I need this version to access the itunes store. I orignally had a problem with my computer freezing (hard boot required) when downloading TV shows. Most of the time it would freeze when beginning the "Processing File" phase. I solved it by booting into safe mode to download the shows. I decided to troubleshoot the problem and uninstalled then reinstalled itunes and quicktime as instructed by Apple tech support. Things went from bad to worse. Now everytime I click on a TV show to watch it, my computer freezes. Using msconfig, I narrowed it down to the "Windows Audio" service. If I disable the service, itunes runs fine albeit without sound (silent episodes of Lost anyone?). I renamed the audiosrv.dll file and tried to copy a new version over from another computer. The system said it was still there and asked me if I wanted to replace it. I said no and restarted the computer. Windows XP magically recreated the file so then I had two copies of the file in the System32 directory, the renamed one and a new one. Deleted both, restarted, and the file magically reappeared. I then tried itunes and it immediately froze. After the required hard reboot, I replaced the existing file with the new file. Started itunes, clicked on a movie, and it froze. At this point I don't know if the problem lies with itunes or if I have a damaged file in XP. My virus/spyware scanner didn't find anything and neither did trend micro's house-call. I downloaded AVG AS and it also came up clean with the exception of a few tracking cookies. I would like to reslove the issue without rebuilding the whole machine. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advace.

You can try the following combination of settings:-
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page). Here is the link for determining and setting up the correct MTU size: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
