8 slate Pro audio problem: headphone output

Hello

I bought my slate 8 Pro (model 7600US) to replace my Blackberry playbook. It is the great Tablet (screen perfect last Tegra 4 CPU, battery in good condition, good speakers integrated), but after the use of the Tablet for several days, I am surprised by problems with audio quality of the headphone output. I use mainly compressed with headphones (audio books, Netflix, music, etc.), so when I connected my Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro (headphones ultra-sensitive 119db/mW, 12 Ohm), I got very sensitive background noise, artifacts and, what is very annoying - variable pitch tones when changing tone based on the activity of the Wi - fi and load CPU, especially on low volume levels.

So I tried using headphones from Shure (109db, 29 ohms), less sensitive 4ca as KOSS KTXPRO (106db, 60 ohms) with the same results. HP Slate 8 Pro is not powerful enough to Sennheizer 555 (105db, 120 ohms) but I also had the artifacts and noise of not. Finally I tried junk headset $2 and found the sound sounds and tones perfectly acceptable ground level, but the sound quality with these phones is terrible.

To compare, I tried all my headphones with Nexus 7, Samsung Note 3, IPhone 5 and Playbook without problem.

I have returned the shelf at the store and replaced it for the new, but I had similar problem.

Please let know us, what I have to try the third time and replace the Tablet, or it's problem of hardware design, which cannot be resolved. Is it possible, that developers of HP can fix it in software configuration in a future update?

I understand, this tablet is not an audiophile device, but when the HP Web site indicates to this tablet: "Tuned by Dr. Dre himself, Beats Audio™ allows you to hear the music the way the artist intended.", it must at least provide acceptable audio quality for most listeners. I love HP Tablet a little, but if audio problem cannot be solved, I have to look for another option like Samsung or LG.

Updated my slate 8 Pro to KitKat 4.4.2 and looks, that his problem slipped.  With this update, noise and less noticeable artifacts, sound quality is acceptable now, even for sensitive headphones.

  • Need instructions/tips for no Win8.1 on mid 2012 MBP pro audio problem

    Thank you for taking your time looking in my question.

    My Machine: Macbook Pro retina no Mid 2012

    What I wanted: install win 8.1 pro 64 bit on a second SSD completely (without Partition) / replace the optical drive

    My problem: everything works fine, but no sound. Drivers seem to be the cause:


    How I installed windows:

    1. I put the own ssd in the main Bay + optical drive with disk 8.1 win

    2. Windows disk initialized and installed windows 8.1 64-bit without errors

    3 install the drivers for bootcamp support

    4 returned the Mac ssd go back to the main Bay and put the ssd of windows in the caddy and then in the optical Bay

    5. starting is by holding alt and choosing between mac os, recovery and boot efi (which contains windows)

    What I tried (all of the following are ineffective):

    1 reinstall/repair drivers bootcamp support from different sources (of the download on the website of apple and the bootcamp assistant application)

    2 reinstall the realtek drivers

    3. how to install intel drivers graphics hd 4000 (found a source who said it would do the trick, there is no)

    4 uninstallation of controller high definition Audio (it always seems to come back)

    5. manually download and install the drivers http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-30.zip cirrus

    I get the following error:

    6. place the ssd of windows in the main Bay

    7 troubleshooting sound (a 99% sure that this would not work)

    8 throw up my hands in despair and uncontrollable crying afterwards (was probably the most effective on 8)

    That I need clarification on:

    I found found some sources say that installing windows via EFI mode causes no sound, but I'm not sure if the way I installed it is considered to be the efi mode as I have never had an option for efi mode. However when I start upward and hold option the name of the windows disk named ' BOOT EFI. Efi mode is how I installed windows?

    What I need instructions on:

    Some sources claim that I need to install windows in hybrid MBR mode however I do not know how I would install windows any differently than the way I did above. How can I go about installing, not in start efi mode, if I want to spend the whole ssd for windows / that I would do anything differently than the steps I listed up there?

    Thanks a lot again for your time and help!

    Windows must be in the main Bay and must stay in the main Bay after installation. You can either use the wizard of BC and create a USB installer which will also create a legacy BIOS/MBR W8.1 (default value for your specific model) or if you choose to do it manually, make sure that the icon of Windows from the installation media, not EFI Boot.

    If you start from the DVD W8.1, the default value is Boot EFI. BC Assistant did a bit of work for you, in order to avoid the is not a good idea.

  • Satellite L850-147 - Audio problem with output jack and balance

    Hi all

    When I plug in my headset on my laptop (Satellite L850-147) and try to listen to music, I hear music (instrumental parts)... by far, I can hear the voice of the singer.

    I found a turnaround with the adjustment of balance in realtek HD audio manager 100% or 100% left...
    But this isn't the way that music have to play...

    I have reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio Manager but without success...
    Any idea?

    Thank you

    Hello

    And have you checked the settings in the software you use to play the sounds?
    Of course the Realtek HD audio Manager supports the sound configurations and you can change different sound effects such as environment and Equalizer but the same or similar options are supported by each software reading and I also recommend to check this!

    By the way: Toshiba laptops are pre-installed with a HD Audio SRS Premium application. To access this, go to:
    Start-> all programs-> SRS Lams-> SRS Premium Sound Technology
    Here, you will also get some options that could be interesting for you.

    Also recommend checking Audio improve
    Make a right click on the icon of speakers in the taskbar then on playback-> speakers devices->, click Properties
    On the development tab, select the sound effect you want and click on apply.

  • Windows 7 Audio problem IDT plays through speakers and headphones

    I recently took possession of old Windows 7 Dell Inspiron N5040 my brother who runs the audio driver IDT HD Audio, the problem is that even when headphones are plugged in, the computer still plays sound on the speakers, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver, update the driver software and I still cannot fix. I thought that maybe the problem could be fixed with sound in the Control Panel, however, I can't find the device labeled "Headphones", only two devices listed are "Speakers/headphones" and "helmet of Communications." How can I do so that the system only plays sound through speakers when the headphone is not plugged and only plays the sound through the headphones when they are?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are unable to play music through the headset and it still plays sound to speakers.

    Is it a screenshot of your computer? And if so, the program captures the fact as a framer-variable rate (VFR) or constant rate (CFR)? Many screen capture programs are VFR, which PrPro doesn't work with. If this is the case, you will need to download a program like the freebie of the hand brake which allows you to transcode the footage to the CFR, then use in PrPro.

  • Output file WMV - Audio problem

    I'm new to Premiere Elements (9 v), but have produced a very good first DVD.  I wanted to also output as a wmv file.  It took forever for the rendering, but the output had audio problems.  A single audio track was fine, but if I had the narrative on a soundtrack, the soundtrack was not included.  If it was just a soundtrack or a single audio track in a clip, the sound was very good.  I have had no clip with narration or soundtrack on an audio track of the video and my story and audio tapes were all still image clips, but I have a feeling that this is not a problem.  My guess is that render to wmv just took a track audio with the priority being Audio 1, 2, etc., Narration and finally soundtrack.  Is there something that I need to specify to get more than 1 audio or y at - it a problem to v. 9?  Thank you

    Welcome to the forum.

    Just some thoughts:

    WMV is UC both decode and encode. Time is probably the way he is and could be depends on your computer. There are a LOT of current compression.

    Now, regarding Audio, there have been users who have had problems (not unlike yours, but not identical) with export, whereas they had Clips on the narrative and the tracks Audio Soundtrack sets. In many cases, simply move all these Clips to a regular Audio tracks, has cleared up many / most of the questions. It would be the first test that I run - just their lasso and move them to another free Audio track. Test.

    Good luck

  • Headset audio problem Latitude E5530

    Hello
    I have a Latitude E5530, with Windows 7 64 bit.
    This laptop has been formatted in a couple of days and underwent a re-installation from scratch.
    I installed all the drivers that you can find on the Web site. The audio works well with the speakers, but you hear no sound if you plugin the helmet. I don't know if it worked before the format; I know that running a different operating system (Xubuntu 13.04 64.bit) everything works like a charm, no audio problem.

    Clues about what is happening here?

    Thank you!

    Browar00
    Is there an option on E5530 to change the audio output of the speakers/headphones to line-in?

    There is no line-in socket on the E5530. It has a simple audio plug, known as a helmet or jack combo. It combines the output of headphone and mono microphone input into a socket. It cannot be used for stereo plug-in software component line

    Even if you could change the audio output to the mic input jack (which is not possible that re-wiring of the plug), they are both the same plug. The only change that would achieve, is that the output would be mono instead of stereo.

  • Core Audio Crash, no output MOTU 10.2.1

    Since the upgrade to 10.2.1 I got in trouble with the logic to drop and then re - initialize CoreAudio. He would go from 48 to 42 KHz, sometimes when opening. It would work for a day or two, and then the problem reappears. Constant decline CoreAudio, no assigned MIDI channel. Various combinations of logic to quit and restart the logic or the MOTU 828 mkii FW would get things back.

    Sometimes when you restart logic, the default clock speed would increase from 48K to 44.1 K.

    Last night she is re - slept constantly CoreAudio.

    I decided to upgrade to El Capitan, and also has the new universal driver for MOTU (released February 11).

    Things start up. Audio project plays at the mac internal speakers. What MOTU interface is enabled. No sound. Led output on the interface LED some output for a period of time, but it is not audible. It's a high sound out of sound reach human ground. Then stops and then the project is not yet (and all counters are on all push them the audio tracks) no output sound or detected on the audio interface. There is a happening by clicking on, a little weak. It is the audio output only.

    MOTU AudiiDesk DAW download I installed and has recorded and played back a few audio tracks through the MOTU without problem.

    I think that this is a problem in 10.2.1. How can I report a bug to the development team?

    Anyone else having issues 10.2.1 or El Capitan and Yosemite, old Interfaces Audio?

    JP,

    Try a Reset of the MOTU, the sound output, & high freq rattling is a gift.

    Something to remember, whenever the operating system upgrade or logic, unplug the Firewire MOTU 828 cable before starting the upgrade process.

    828 mk2 reset:

    First, turn off the computer!

    Unplug the 828mkII firewire cable

    Press the configuration button

    Turn the button all the way to the right

    Press the selection button

    Press the button Value

    Turning off the interface and reconnect the firewire cable

    Back on the power interface

  • HP Probook 430 G2: Audio problem

    I got my new laptop (HP Probook 430 G2) barely 4 days ago and I already had a problem with it.

    I find this question every time, when I try to listen to music etc., headphones or 5.1 speakers (both using 3.5 mm jack).

    When I use Google Chrome or Windows MediaPlayer etc. If I stop to listen for 5 minutes (stop the video), then the audio "dumb"(barre de son dit qu'il n'y a son sort) but nothng can be heard. "." I solved this problem simply by setting the volume level 0 and back where it was in the first place.

  • HP Envy 23 - K030: Audio problems with HP envy 23-K030 and Windows 8.1

    I read all the discussions on audio problems with the IDT High Definition Audio Driver and Windows 8.1
    I get audio on my speakers ONLY and not the headset.
    I uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled the correct driver by this web site of HP support for my machine.
    no luck - same behavior.

    The only thing that worked was the IDT driver installation and Windows device driver high definition.
    The headphone jack are properly behaved and everything is ok worked.  However, I lose the audio Panel BEATS and the functions of the Board of Directors of IDT.   (superior quality sound-even with the built-in speakers).

    An interesting thing I noticed, when the Microsoft driver is used (and work) on the control panel for this device, it presents "the left panel making" when the configuration screen for the 'speakers '.  for the official driver of IDT, it shows 4 outlets - none of them say "left sidebar", there's rear panel and a plug of façade.    On the old driver that didn't work, he showed "right pane" and there is no control on the right panel.

    I think the pilot is simply wrong of this material. The driver is to look 10/2013-it is as if it were updated for this model ALL in ONE - only when it comes to use the headphone jack.

    Is there a better driver (I can't "find one beyond 6.10.6486.0 or 6.10.6491 - both had the same problem.)

    I do not use my time to often-rarely-last helmet I used them they have worked. Now, they are not - a few automatic updates upset the balance of the force.

    Any help would be appreciated. IF not - it is a problem that a person should study.

    Also it is reproducible. I have install generic Microsoft driver-headphone jack works and the sound Jack not pregnant, I re - install IDT player - his fate only speakers and not jack.

    I thought about it.

    BIOS V 80.09 (on this wonderful site to Support HP) - does all the work

    V80.05 - did not work properly with this Version of Bios.

    Thank you HP very useful site if you take the time to browse through all the updates.
