Troubleshooting Guide: Audio does not work after a Certain period of time

Hi all

Thank you for choosing the HP Forums!

If your sound recently stopped working on Windows 8.x or Windows Server 2012 and you suspect an update of Windows is involved, then look like! This is the troubleshooting guide that will explain how to solve the problem!

Explanation:

Currently, there is a Windows update that may cause the sound on your computer to stop working. The update is KB2962407, and it is now an "Important" update This means that it will be installed by Windows Update unless hide you it.

This thread also covers generic sound troubleshooting which can solve the problems of "no sound".

Before the update itself, since an update of Windows cannot be the culprit, there are a few troubleshooting can be done.

A round of troubleshooting:

1. run the Audio Troubleshooting in Windows 8 may solve the problem. It does not contain the possibility of eliminating any parameter that affects sound. Here are some steps on how to perform this troubleshooting:

(a) hold down the key "Windows" and "R" and type "Troubleshooting" and then press ENTER.

(b) a window will open. On the left, click on "Show all", then "Audio playback".

(c) click on 'Advanced' and run it as an administrator. Then click on 'Next' to complete the process.

2 try to create a new user account. The changes forced by the update that is likely to affect only a single user. This HP document shows you how to create a new user in the section "creating a new account in Windows 8": users and connections (Windows 8) account management

3. try a pair of headphones or external speakers. This is set by the whole issue if the sound does not work via an output of second or third device.

4. an alternative is to uninstall the driver manually and then force to be installed again:

(a) open the Device Manager and go to the section "audio, video controller and game."

(b) make a right click on your audio driver and select "Uninstall".

(c) restart the computer. This will force the material to write a new driver at startup.

5. Finally, to ensure that the remaining steps that you have not tried this document are tempted: no sound from speakers (Windows 8)

New inclusions:

Deactivating and activating the audio driver has been tested with success results enough for me to post here. Here are the instructions to do this:

(a) open the Device Manager and go to the section "audio, video controller and game."

(b) make a right click on your audio driver and select "disable."

(c) wait a minute, then right-click on it and select 'enable '.

Also, the restoration of the system is also a valid troubleshooting step. This will return the computer to a point before the update or an external source of the issue has occurred. Here is a document on how to perform a system restore: System Restore

If you want something strong, an update of Windows completely refreshes Windows 8, without affecting the files: refresh your PC to solve problems (Windows 8)

Also, this is a sound of Windows troubleshooting tutorial. Just out of curiosity, I've recreated the problem on a Windows 8 and went through this tutorial. He has been able to solve the problem: no sound in Windows

*Everything in italics is currently untested, but will be tested as soon as possible. I believe that these steps will help:

In the search bar, type "services.msc" and press ENTER.

Hold down the 'Windows' and 'R '. Type "services.msc" and press ENTER. Look for the following services:

-Audio service

-Windows audio

-Windows Audio endpoint Builder

I want you right click on each of these services and select "Stop". When they all stopped, right-click on each other again and select 'start '. So, make sure that the status of each service is "started" and their startup type is "Automatic".

Troubleshooting of the update:

At this point, unless you want to reinstall the operating system, the only other option is to tackle the update, KB2962407. Please note that the following troubleshooting is ONLY a workaround, for now and should be done only if the computer has installed this update.

First of all, you can try the hotfix package content in this document from Microsoft, specifically at the KB2962407 address: RT of Windows, Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 cumulative hotfix: June 2014

If that doesn't help, then uninstall the update of Windows and then hide it, are the only way to eliminate the question if she caused by this update. Here is the procedure to uninstall the update:

1. go in Control Panel, then click on "programs and features".

2. click on "view installed updates". Look for the update with ID KB2962407.

3. right click on the update and select "Uninstall". Restart the computer.

Then, here is the procedure in order to hide the update:

1. go in Control Panel, then click on "Windows Updates".

2. click on ' Check for Updates '. When the process is complete, is expected to find important updates available. By clicking on the message will open a window where is the important updates.

3. right click on the KB2962407 update and select "Hide update". This will prevent the installation update next time that Windows updates are installed.

Conclusion:

At the end of this guide, you will have the sound works again (assuming that the cause was the update of Windows, or the less focused on the software). Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents the start of the procedure that this article describes to Windows XP using System Restore and Recovery Console. This article lists also all required specific steps to ensure that the process is fully completed. When you have completed this procedure, the system returns to a state very close to the State until the problem occurred. If you have ever run NTBackup and completed a system state backup, you don't have to follow the procedures in parts two and three. You can go to part IV. First part in the first part, you start the Recovery Console, create a temporary folder, back up the existing registry files to a new location, delete the registry from their existing location files and then copy the registry files in the repair folder to the System32\Config folder. When you have completed this procedure, a registry is created that you can use to start Windows XP. This registry was created and saved during the initial setup of Windows XP. Therefore, any changes and settings that took place after Setup has finished are lost.

The full, first part, follow these steps:

Insert the diskette of starting Windows XP in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM drive and restart the computer.

Click to select all of the options required to start the computer from the CD-ROM drive if you are prompted to do so.

When the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
If you have a dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
When you are prompted to do so, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
At the Recovery Console prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
MD tmp
copy c:\windows\system32\config\system c:\windows\tmp\system.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\software c:\windows\tmp\software.bak
Copy c:\windows\system32\config\sam c:\windows\tmp\sam.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\security c:\windows\tmp\security.bak
copy c:\windows\system32\config\default c:\windows\tmp\default.bak

delete c:\windows\system32\config\system
delete c:\windows\system32\config\software
Delete c:\windows\system32\config\sam
delete c:\windows\system32\config\security
Delete c:\windows\system32\config\default

Copy c:\windows\repair\system c:\windows\system32\config\system
copy c:\windows\repair\software c:\windows\system32\config\software
copy c:\windows\repair\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam
Copy c:\windows\repair\security c:\windows\system32\config\security
Copy c:\windows\repair\default c:\windows\system32\config\default
Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Your computer will restart.

Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with case windows_folder If it is a different place.

If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 5, and then create a text file called "Regcopy1.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

batch regcopy1.txt

With the command batch to the Recovery Console, you can process all the commands in a text file in the order. When you use the batch command, you do not have to manually type as many commands. Second part to perform the procedure described in this section, you must be logged on as an administrator or an administrative user (a user who has an account in the Administrators group). If you use Windows XP Home Edition, you can connect as an administrative user. If you sign in as an administrator, you must first start Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode. To start the computer in Windows XP Home Edition in safe mode, follow these steps.

Note Print these instructions before continuing. You cannot view these instructions after you restart the computer in Mode safe. If you use the NTFS file system, also print the instructions from article KB309531 of the Knowledge Base. Step 7 contains a reference to the article.

Click Start, click shut down (or click turn off computer), click restart, and then click OK (or click restart).
Press the F8 key.
On a computer that is configured to start to multiple operating systems, you can press F8 when you see the boot menu.
Use the arrow keys to select the appropriate safe mode option and press ENTER.
If you have a dual-boot or multiboot system, use the arrow keys to select the installation that you want to access, and then press ENTER.

In part two, you copy the registry of their location saved files by using the system restore. This folder is not available in the Recovery Console, and is usually not visible on the typical use. Before you begin this procedure, you must change several settings to make the folder visible:

Start Windows Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click folder options.
Click the view tab.
Under hidden files and folders, select Show hidden folders and files, and then click to clear the Hide protected (recommended) operating system files check box.
When appears in the dialog box confirming that you want to display these files, click Yes .
Double-click the drive where you installed Windows XP to display the list of folders. If it is important to click on the correct drive.
Open the System Volume Information folder. This folder is not available and is dimmed because it is defined as a file hidden doubling.
Note This folder contains one or more _restore {GUID} folders such as "_restore {87BD3667-3246-476B-923F-F86E30B3E7F8}.

Note You may receive the following error message:

C:\System Volume Information is not accessible. Access is denied.

If you receive this message, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for access to this folder and continue with the procedure:

309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder
Open a folder that was created not at the present time. You may need to click Details on the view menu to see when these folders were created. There may be one or more folders starting with "RP x under this folder." Here are the restore points.
Open one of these folders to find a subfolder of the snapshot. The following path is an example of a folder path to the snapshot folder:
C:\System Volume \RP1\Snapshot Information\_restore {D86480E3-73EF-47BC-A0EB-A81BE6EE3ED8}
Starting from the Snapshot folder, copy the following files to the C:\Windows\Tmp folder:
- _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM
- _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM
Rename the files in the C:\Windows\Tmp folder as follows:
- Rename _REGISTRY_USER_. DEFAULT DEFAULT
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SECURITY to SECURITY
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SOFTWARE to SOFTWARE
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SYSTEM to SYSTEM
- Rename _REGISTRY_MACHINE_SAM to SAM

These files are the system restore registry files. Because you used the registry file that the Setup program created, this registry does not know that these restore points exist and are available. A new folder is created with a new GUID under System Volume Information and a restore point is created that includes a copy of the registry files that were copied during the first part. Therefore, it is important not to use the most recent folder, especially if the time stamp on the folder is the same at the moment.

The current configuration of the system is not aware of the previous restore points. You must have a previous copy of the registry to a previous restore point to make previous restore available again points.

The registry files that were copied to the Tmp folder in the C:\Windows folder are moved to ensure the files are available in the Recovery Console. You use these files to replace the registry files currently in the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder. By default, the Recovery Console has limited access to records and cannot copy the files in the File System Volume.

Note The procedure described in this section assume you are using your computer with the FAT32 file system. For more information on how to access the folder of information system with the NTFS file system Volume, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

309531 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309531/) how to access the System Volume Information folder

Part three in the third part, you delete the existing registry files, and then copy the system restore registry files to the C:\Windows\System32\Config folder:

Start the Recovery Console.
At the command prompt, type the following lines, pressing ENTER after you type each line:
del c:\windows\system32\config\sam

del c:\windows\system32\config\security

del c:\windows\system32\config\software

del c:\windows\system32\config\default

del c:\windows\system32\config\system

copy c:\windows\tmp\software c:\windows\system32\config\software

copy c:\windows\tmp\system c:\windows\system32\config\system

copy c:\windows\tmp\sam c:\windows\system32\config\sam

Copy c:\windows\tmp\security c:\windows\system32\config\security

Copy c:\windows\tmp\default c:\windows\system32\config\default

Note Some of these command lines may be wrapped for readability.

Type exit to quit the Recovery Console. Restart the computer.

Note This procedure assumes that Windows XP is installed in the C:\Windows folder. Make sure that replace C:\Windows with case windows_folder If it is a different place.

If you have access to another computer, to save time, you can copy the text in step 2, and then create a text file named "Regcopy2.txt" (for example). To use this file, run the following command when you start in Recovery Console:

regcopy2.txt batch

Fourth part

Click Startand then click all programs.
Click on Accessories, then System Tools.
Click System Restore, and then click restore to a previous RestorePoint.

10.11.4 boot problems - black and white death

Hi people, write here after a weekend of failed attempts to get my iMac 27 "2009 to recover. I see there are many good suggestions out there on this general problem and I am hoping someone can give some specific advice, as I am now out of options.

The problem started when I first noticed the screen was all black, but the cursor to move. I think the problem started 20 or March 21 since the last backup Time Machine was to the 20th. I had seen this occasionally over the years and so just turned off and restarted. This time it got stuck on the white screen with the Apple logo and progress bar at halfway. Finally reading the forum that I realized that I could actually blind the connection by pressing the right keys and hard drive noises I could say it was starting up my apps. But the screen remains blank, just the cursor moved. I even tried to remote into my Macbook but that just brought to the top of the black screen too!

That's so the State of the rest across machine try the following:
1. Tried to reinstall the OS 10.11.4, it installed OK, but on reboot I have come back to the white screen of death.
2. Tried Time Machine backup recovery, twice, first go to the last point of restoration, then among a few days earlier which was 10.11.3
3. Wiped my Bootcamp partition and installed 10.11.4, showed the first home screen, and then it would freeze. I could access it from secure boot, but could never get the boot on a regular basis at work, the screen remains white death.
4. Secure boot works on both partitions, but which is as far as I can get it. Start, I tried the suggestion of delete some items in the Library/Extensions folder, but that did not help.
5. I also tried to remove the power cable for a minute and restart. And the thing with now the key Alt Cmd (?) and P and W to erase the memory. But no help.
6. I tried to run the diagnostics of material that came on the boot floppies, CD Rom drive would turn a few times, but would not read the disc for some reason any.
I think that's it, maybe I tried a few other permutations, but it has been a long weekend, and it's all beginning to fade now.

Since all the restorations did not work it feels like it may be a hardware problem, but it's so consistent in where it fails / stalls on startup and safe mode works OK, it always makes me think that it may be a software. There is a flash on the right screen to where it crashes on the bar, progress which makes me wonder if this might be the card or display driver problem, but really guess right now. One last thing that I might have to try is a full erase of all partitions and create a USB stick to boot from. But I am quite doubtful that it works in light of all other alternatives, I tried.

Additional ideas would be very appreciated, I know that I had the machine for a long time and many would say it is time to upgrade, but I'm not quire ready for this yet, it really worked great, just a little slow on the restart of the (who fortunately have been rare so far!)

Portege R100, PXE - boot problem - E61:Media Test failure, check cable

My portege r100 4004GAH original hard drive has had some problems recently, so I decided to replace it with a bigger 4006GAH. Specifications, it seemed that it would be appropriate.

So I tried to install standard windows top. Unfortunately as I soon discovered that didn't work and lead to BSOD. I looked online and remembered that I had in fact to use the recovery of three discs. Fortunately for me I still had the freshly sealed and I've also owned a combined remarkable Targus CD drive supported. If in the three discs are gone. All seemed well and after that the last drive ended, I was asked to remove the disc. The laptop has rebooted and then gave me the

PXE - E61:Media Test failure, check cable
PXE - M0F: Exit Intel PXE ROM
Insert system disk
Press a key to continue...

I thought it might be in the order of start, but verified that and it seemed right. HD was first. I also changed the order and the same error came.
I thought while another component of my laptop may be broken. So I put my old hard drive in. It started fine.
The next thought that the new hard drive was defective.

Fortunately, this is not the case. Because when I used the recovery disks not only heard disk hard turns to the top, but the hard drives were detected and recovery installation displays the correct memory size.

I'm completely stumped on hat w what is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

It is not easy to say what the problem is but you said the Portege started fine with the old HDD. So I think that there is something wrong with the new.

In your case I test the HARD drive with a special tool like Drive Fitness Test. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.
http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT

In addition I am interested in what you have the same problem with a Microsoft installation disc if you have one.
So try if your HARD disk has no errors.

Hi uygur,.

at first I thought your problem your laptop want boot from LAN.

Check the BIOS, could be formulated with pushing the ESC key when the Red TOSHIBA logo appears, enter on boot order (First Boot Device).

I think that your PC is the first device to set startup to local network.

Try this and keep me posted!

Hello Redswan8846,

If safe mode start worked, then we will try a clean boot.

Windows Vista boot problems, after an automatic update

Can someone help me with the boot?
When I start my laptop it goes until is displayed: 'No configuration update 3 of 3' and all stays at 0% for 1 or 2 minutes and after it stops automatically. It restarts again and appears the same following 2 minutes and stops.
How can I fix this without having to install the DVD? I don't have the installation of my Windows DVD. But with on DVD with also windows vista, I tried to fix it, he showed me that it is not a compatible version of vista on the DVD.

Hello

I guess that part of the question could be a driver which is really old or similar should not be loaded.

This exit Windows updates on (after you have access) and stop the updates of the driver to load.
