Windows 8 start up sounds

how do i activate windows 8 start up sounds it worked the first time i turned my pc on but not since,i have ticked the windows default checkbox but the apply area is shaded out?

Hello,
You should be able to go into windows sound option, under control panel and in the sound tab, you have an option to play windows start-up sound, if its shaded out, maybe its because you dont have any playback device selected or the audio is not installed.
Can you check that?
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

  • Start Navigation sound in Windows 7 64 bit dissappeared

    ? [size="">I have been scratching my head over this one.
    [size="">After doing a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on a new build this week, and installing a new X-Fi PCIe Titanium Fatality Pro, I found the start navigation windows sound was no longer there - I am talking about the brief sound you hear, that sounds like a click, when you click a link, double click a folder to open , etc. I could find the sound in windows sounds, but when I pressed test I could not hear it.
    [size="">
    [size="">After much trial and error, I discovered that I had to disable sound blaster enhancements, in the properties tab for speakers in the sound card settings. I now have that windows sound back.
    [size="">When I enable sound blaster enhancements, it goes away, when I disable them, it is back to normal.
    [size="">
    [size="">Is this normal or unique to me?

    Wow, that fixed? my problem also by disabling soundblaster enhancements. How were you able to figure that one out? I was trying to figure it'sout also many months ago when I first got windows 7 beta and couldn't do it. Anyway,
    Seems like most people don't like this start navigation sound, but I do.
    I don't like the fact of having to disable soundblaster enhancements also.
    Have you noticed that if you change the windows theme to something else it will actually work?

  • Windows 7 Start-Up Sound deleted after Boot Camp 3.2 Update

    Hello,
    i´ve installed Windows 7 on my MacBook. Than i have updated my Boot Camp Software from 3.0 to 3.2.
    Now is my Start-Up Sound deleted.
    How can i repair this?

    Install the audio driver from the vendor, does it use Cirrius? or RealTek? you need to install an audio driver or package, Boot Camp just provides hardware device so it can be installed later by the end user.
    My Mac Pro uses Realtek and easy enough to install, though I've read here that people had trouble on Macs that require Cirrius. But it is up to you.

  • BT 3.1 - No more windows 7 startup sound

    Hey there Apple forums!
    I decided to install Windows 7 on my Mac a while ago. I had Bootcamp 3.0 and all the problems related to audio that BT 3.0 had, including the red optical light. Once BT 3.1 was released, I decided to install it. Notice how I hadn't changed any driver from Bt 3.0 until I installed 3.1.
    Once I installed the update, most audio problems were immediately solved. No more ghostly red optical light, no more laggy audio, etc. Audio output was still low, but nothing "Enchance audio output" couldn't solve. I was seemingly happy, until i realized that the windows 7 startup sound played no more.
    By startup sound I mean the chime that plays when you're in the login screen. This is a very small glitch, as it used to work in Bt 3.0, even with the audio issues it had.
    Is there any solution? And before you begin asking protocol questions, yes, the startup sound IS enabled, yes I have the default Windows sounds set, I haven't changed the theme (don't know if that even matters, it shouldn't matter).
    If it helps, when i connect two low speakers to the audio output jack and start Windows, and raise the volume, I CAN hear the startup chime in the login screen. But there's not even a faint sound when the external speakers are gone.
    Should anyone know a solution, please help me with a post. And the speakers I have suck, so they're not an option.

    Hi
    Had same problem, tried everything like reinstalling drivers but still the problem continued. However today i tried changing the driver for the sound card to the generic driver and rebooted my macbook pro. on startup the sound card would not work on the generic driver and the system kicked in with an automatic troubleshoot and installed the correct drivers.
    Somehow this has enabled the startup sound to work and the system doesn't startup in a muted state.
    Haven't a clue why or how this has worked or how long it will continue to work but give it a go.

    My XP machine crashed, I reinstalled Premiere Pro 2.0 with Windows 7, and I got the following error: 'The Currently installed soundcard driver does not support Direct Sound Input. Recording audio is not possible.' The soundcard drivers are updated. Any ideas? Here's what I have: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Processor  3.40 GHz 8 GB, 64 bit. Thank you for looking.

    Thanks! Though I upgraded to solve the problem, this is good to know.

    VERY VERY VERY EASY (now, when I solved the problem, not before...!!!)
    Insert Micropone or any jack in Micropone Input or Aux Input, on your sound card or motherboard !
    AND NOW YOU CAN USE PREMIERE PRO 2.0

  • Macbook without start up sound

    Good morning everyone.
    I´ll tell you a little about my problem. I have a macbook 13" mid 2010 mod A1342. Last week, after cleaning with a cleaning foam for PC´s, I think i used so much foam into the keyboard, because i started up and wont start, i let pass time and tried to start up, it started but some keys was in dead short, and the laptop turns off, i cleaned again with fairly isopropyl alcohol in the entire surface and the back of the keyboard, i wait for it to dry for 2 days and the in tried again, the mac start and works fine without pushing any key, but some key was making dead short, i was using my iphone as a wireless keyboard the trackpad works fine.
    Consulting with an apple tech center they pdiagnosed the keyboard probably was in dead short and but i have to left them to a entire diagnose.
    I buy the piece(upper case) and i replaced by my self (i´m a desktop support techinician for mac and windows), the macbook works fine again with all the keys including mutimedia keys. but the start up sound was gone, now the sound is very low, the speakers works fine i probe it whit de audio midi config. app, i disconnect the speaker off the board, the spearkers of the keyboard works fine but with a very low sound, when i put a headphone or an external speakers the soud works very fine and with a hig volume.
    Due to the constant reebots without turn off properly, the volume(image) of the mac was corrupt, i´ve tried to repair it with the Disc Utility app but the volume was very damaged, i tried to reinstall preserving my files but there´s no oprtion for that , the only option was a clean installation. i think a clean installation fix the trouble, but the sound was the same, after installing all the updates to this day, the result was the same. In the information menu displays onboard sound, in the prefs pane the output have onboard sound to play sounds, i configured into the audio and midi app the stereo option, bunt the sound is still low.
    I don´t think the problem was the logic, beacuse it plays sound into headphones and the internal speaker and the keybooard speaker, the problem is only the startup sound gone and the level of the sound is very low (sound like a cell phone). i tried to reset the PRAM, in the faqs apple say that i have to hear 2 startups sounds and the i have to realease the pushed keys, but in my case there´s no sound, the laptop restart as they say, but without sound, i´m not sure if the PRAM was restored or not, i push the keys (cmd+op+p+r) turn the MB it try to start the a little bit reboot by it self, tyr to start, again reboot by it self, but without sound, if i keep pushing the keys the procees won´t stop, if i release the keys the macbook start fine(without sound), but i not sure if the PRAM was restored.
    I hope anyone can help me.

    i also got this kind of problem recently. i was connected to a speaker n the start up sound just didnt come out till i plugged out the speaker jack. this happen after i finished reinstalling my mac os x (snow leopard) including the updates. the condition worsen by having a delay when i started up my mbp for the 3rd or 4th times. the screen just black n i got a delay for 3 to 4 seconds till finally i heard the start up sound back n see the apple logo n the loading gear came out. i later restarted the mbp again to see whether the same problem occurs bt somehow it didnt. weird things happen to my mbp these days.. what should i do? any suggestion? :O

  • Choppy sound in Windows 7 on Sound Blaster Audigy SE

    Hey all,
    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and I love it with the exception of my sound card. Ever since I upgraded, all my sounds are super choppy (like every 5 seconds it chops). Of course I installed the new creative windows 7 drivers but it didn't fix the problem. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this or other possible solutions to try?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Re: Choppy sound in Windows 7 on Sound Blaster Audigy SEk What I meant was when you uninstall your graphics driver and use standart VGA drivers then the sound turns to normal without any crackling/popping. But of course you wouldnt want to do that or else you wouldnt have graphics accerelation. (You can't play video games and even watch any kind of video)
    For instance you freshly setup windows, dont install any nvidia/ati drivers, just with the big screen, install the creative drivers u wont have any problem with your sound.
    That's why I said that there's a kind of confliction between graphics interface and creative drivers. Because when u install any kind of display driver, crackling sound starts again.
    There's no solution for this except updated SB drivers. And that's why people get mad to creative on this forum. (Not only on this forum of course, it's a worldwide madness)

  • Disable start up sound

    On Leopard I could simply put down the volume before a shut down, and I had no anoying start up sound.However this seems not to work anymore on Lion.Which possibilities do I have to start my system without the roaring bong?

    I've found another solution how to disable the startup sound. It also works on Lion - at least for me.
    There is some terminal stuff to do, but it's worth it imo ;-)
    Ok here we go:
    1. Login as administrator and open a terminal window
    2. Create scriptfile for muting
    sudo nano /path/to/mute-on.sh
    3. Enter this as content, when done press control+O to save and control+X to exit:
    #!/bin/bash
    osascript -e 'set volume with output muted'
    4. Create scriptfile for unmuting
    sudo nano /path/to/mute-off.sh
    5. Enter this as content, when done press control+O to save and control+X to exit:
    #!/bin/bash
    osascript -e 'set volume without output muted'
    6. Make both files executable:
    sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-on.sh
    sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-off.sh
    7. Check if any hooks already exist (these will be overwritten, so make sure it is OK for you)
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
    sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
    8. Add hooks for muting
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /path/to/mute-on.sh
    sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /path/to/mute-off.sh
    Notes:
    - /path/to/ is the location of the scripts, I used /Library/Scripts/
    - you can skip the unmuting loginhook (i.e. each logout will silence your machine), but I like it this way because I always have sound available exactly at the volume level I set last time
    - root has to be the owner of the script files - running an editor from command line with sudo is the easiest way to achieve that (otherwise you need to chown)
    - to delete the hooks, use the following:
    sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook
    sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook

  • MMacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster

    Hi ,
    My MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) switches on but internal display remains off/black .There is no start-up sound and the fan starts off normal but after about Five minutes begins to run even faster as if the machine is running a heavy load.It displayed a question mark some time back then a friend borrwed it ,he flashed the system and put windows 7.Then a few days pasted and now it wont display as stated.I have tried to Reset SMC and the Command + P + R + Power but still no response.Please assist?
    Regrads Josh

    I think your "friend" caused a problem (or two).
    I do not know what "flashed the system" means......
    Based on what was done, I would probably erase the HD and restore the system from a backup before the software changes were made.

  • PC locks-up after windows starts

  • Can't fsck to get past hang at 'Login Window Starting' at start up

    Someone in the OS X forum suggested I might try posting this here.
    I have an old clamshell ibook that I upgraded (added more memory) in order to load OS X. After I loaded OS X 10.3 and started up, the updater told me that an update was available. I downloaded it and began the update...my battery died in mid update. Now when I start up, it gets to "login window starting" and stalls. I have tried Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair disk (nothing really to repair). I have used Disk Warrior and this tells me that my directory needs to be rebuilt, I have rebuilt it, restarted and the same thing happens. When I go back to disk warrior, it tells me the directory needs to be repaired and this just repeats.
    I have tried a safe startup and the start up stalls at the same "login window starting" point. I have tried starting in single-user mode and I get a long pause, then alot of characters, but the cursor never allows me to type the fsck commands. I have tried resetting the Power Managment Unit (to no avail). One of the lines that shows up when I start up in single-user mode is in yellow and says "Failed to load extension com.apple.driver.ApplePMU." Which I took to mean was a problem with the power management unit.
    To make matters worse, I have only the original 3 gb hard drive in the ibook and therefore no space to install os x with an archived copy of the system's current software. I have tried resetting PRAM and I have shut down by holding the power switch. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Brian,
    Alas, no...this is one of the original clamshells. I have found that I can force the ibook to start up from an old OS 9 install cd and see the hard drive on the desktop/access files, so I have saved my critical data to a usb removable drive. The crisis is averted and I'm thinking of trying to get back to OS X through a series of installs and updates starting with the OS 9 install disk. If this fails, I'll just do a clean install of OS X and reload everything.
    Thanks, Chris

  • Satellite L300 - Disk.sys error on Windows start up

    I got my recovery disk today inserted and after a couple of reboots I managed to to get the Advanced menu F8. I selected option for Safe Mode with command prompt. The window started to load various windows drivers etc. It has now stopped at the line of code with a please wait and has been like this for over 2hours.
    Loaded: \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys
    I booted up in VGA mode same
    I tried last known good configuration no joy.
    what's left for me to do it is obvious that I have a bad driver how do I interrupt the command prompt and run chdisk or check for corrupt drivers etc.
    If I have to reload the OS can this be downloaded from microsoft or is it chargeable.
    If anyone has any new ideas I would be very grateful need to get this sorted.
    thanks
    Franco

    Hi TwoLags,
    as you can see from the paper trail I originally could not get into advanced mode the forum suggested I purchased a recovery disk . The disk now allows me to get into F8 and advanced mode if I choose safe mode it scrolls through all the drivers but halts at \windows\system32\drivers\disk.sys with a please wait message in the windows bar.
    I have tried booting up in safe mode with cmd prompt same,last known good config dark screen?.
    My question is what happens next am I looking at a complete OS reinstall which I don't have windows vista home premium edition 32 bit.
    Surely there must be a way of intreput the safe mose cmd and run a disk check to repair any corrupted files etc.
    cheers

  • HP D017TU Laptop - Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and i can't get ride of it

    Just purchased a brand new HP D017TU Laptop so nothing been done with it. I installed windows 7 on my HP D017TU laptop. it was working fine.
    Then 2 days ago the Windows Help ans Support window started popping up and now I can't get ride of it.
    I have tried the following things to get ride of the issue,
    1) Format windows 7 os
    2) Delete All partition and re-create
    3) Re-install windows 7
    Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

    Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
    I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
    I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.
    "SuperJbye replied on  July 14, 2013
    Hello
    I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
    So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
    Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
    Go to Task Manager>
    Click the Services Tab>
    Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
    Select Properties>
    Click the Security tab>
    Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
    Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
    Click Change Permissions>
    Then click Edit>
    CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
    This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
    This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
    Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
    Thank you"

     In reply to Danel...'s post on April 28, 2014
    To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
    1. Run 'msconfig'
    2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
    3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is!  Untick ALL the items and reboot.  The help pane will not appear harrah!  Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot.  You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
    4.  Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
    5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
    6. Open 'regedit'
    7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder.  BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
    8.  You're welcome."
    Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
    You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
