• Windows 8.1 IDT High Definition Audio Codecfor P7-1421 driver missing

  I installed Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC Pavilion P7-1421 Thursday and now no sound.  A phone call from HP customer support did not solve my problem, as the representative said that HP has no driver Windows 8.1 IDT High Definition Audio Codec for my computer.  Does anyone know if there is a sound driver Windows 8.1 for my PC or if I have one solution other than coming in Windows 8?

  Thank you!

  You are welcome.

  Sorry that didn't work or the other.

  Have you tried auto update the driver for the device in Device Manager?

  See this thread where another Member of the forum said that he upgraded his PC to W8.1 with the IDT audio chip and there a Microsoft driver.

  If this does not work...

  Just for fun, see if this W7 a generic driver Intel works...

  https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?AGR=Y&DwnldID=19282&keyword=IDT+audio&DownloadType=drivers&lang=eng

  If this isn't the case, then I guess you will have to wait as you say, until a driver is released for W8.1.

  Hey,.

  Try installing this driver: driver Audio IDT high definition (HD)

  If this fails, try to use the HP Recovery Manager to roll back the driver installed in the factory.

• IDT - Audio - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC-updated, problems with the audio

  I recently installed successfully IDT - Audio - IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and after that none of my audio worked. Everything indicates that the audio is working as usual, but no sound. Also, when I did a test "sound" in the control panel > sound, it is said "the test could not be played. (Translated from Finnish Windows Vista, but anyway). I went to IDT Audio settings (from the bottom right icon) and noticed that my headphones and speakers had been cut so I removed the 'secret' of these two, but nothing happened. I tried to restart the computer several times and recheck the IDT Audio settings but nothing found which could cause the problem.

  Hey Andyy27,

  My HP Support Assistant tried to make me update this driver I have the computer in mid-August.  Same thing; whenever I have install the driver, there is no sound either - I have not known what you mentioned above on the sound slowly disappears.  Thahaseena, good to have you hear.  I am running Windows 7 family on a HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC.  After installation, there is no request to restart or stop to install updates; my sound card lists an error and I have to roll back the driver to make it work again.

  My driver date is January 13, 2010, version 6.10.6265.0.  It's one that I continue to back and it works.  I will install the update now and tell you what I get for audio driver is not working.

  The properties of my IDT HD Audio CODEC says:

  Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

  You must restart your computer before the changes made to this device will come into force.

  New driver that disables my sound: June 17, 2010, version 6.10.6289.0.  Well now, it asks me to restart, but I'm not having good hope... will write if this time it solves the problem (4th time charm?).

• Cannot install IDT high definition audio codec for HP envy 15 j002er on Windows 7

  Hello!

  I have HP envy 15 laptop j002er. Initially I got with Windows 8, but then I changed the Pofessional of Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system.

  I can not install audio codec IDT high definition on this subject. I guess that's the reason why I did not and I can't use the interface Audio Beats on my laptop (only the speakers work). There is no audio driver for Windows 7 available for download on the HP website. When I cheking out updates to the pilot via the HP support, it offers me only updates for graphic Chipset, network, etc... And no Audio driver...

  How can I solve it and install the audio codec IDT high definition? I hope he can help me use Beats Audio.

  Thank you in advance for the support!

• IDT High Definition Audio CODEC does not properly

  I can't seem to be able to find the drivers updated to installed originally audio CODEC on my Dimension E510 - Dell giving no info and IDT, just original manufacturer keeps referring me to Dell.  Any suggestions?

  I have an E510.  SigmaTel drivers on Dell downloads must be only used with our 510's.  If you try to use other providers SigmaTel drivers or pilots IDT latest either they won't work properly or not at all.

  What kind of problems you have with the audio?  I can be able to help.  There is a Codec IDT update Microsoft update last year "pushed out" and if it was installed caused several different audio problems, and unfortunately the ONLY way to fix it was a system restore to a date prior to the installation or a complete reinstallation - nothing else we found would fix the noise if the update of the IDT Codec has been applied.

  With the E510 is a 'mature' product (is no longer produced), what you see is the latest version of the driver (for any device) that Dell will never issue.  In addition, Dell emits only drivers (on current models) if the unit does not respond to published specifications (which would include a known problem).  Companies of commercial material, like SoundBlaster or IDT, often issue of updates of the driver but it's usually just to correct some problems, and these problems can only be a single request for specific hardware (for example to solve a problem with a certain model Intel motherboard).

  If you encounter a problem of compatibility, for example with a certain game, your only option is to install a compatible PCI sound card.  I upgraded my Vista E510 and maintain all audio functions (including what you mean (table of the system mixer) for streaming audio, I installed a map its SoundBlaster Audigy SE ($30).  It is an integrated upgrade audio as it has MIDI hardware Synth than Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth software, which I use with MIDI music software.

  Hi there @RandomProbllama,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff.  I understand that the audio does not work on your computer after you reformat.  I'm happy to help you with this.

  Looking at the page "Download drivers and software" HP ENVY 23 - d000el TouchSmart all-in-One desktop PC , I see that there are no specific drivers available for Windows 10.

  Why did you reformat the system?

  What method did you use to install Windows 10?

  Have you tried to remove any audio device and then searching for the hardware changes?

  Please let me know.

  Thanks and greetings
  HP laptop Lover

  Hello @Shas_HP,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

  I read your post on the Microphone and wanted to help you!

  First of all, try to use the HP Support Assistant to find updates for your Audio drivers.  I also recommend to use back to a previous generation option, in your system settings:

  HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10
  
  Once you return to your original operating system, check to see if you encounter the same problem. If this isn't the case, then you can consider holding off on the update of Windows 10 for a few weeks, until what drivers can be updated.

  Please let me know if this information has been helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.

  The helmet Microphone seems to be working very well.
  
  I plugged my headphones Z11 of Turtle Beach to HP from my sister who still has windows 8.1 and my Turtle Beach Z11 helmet sounded very good.

  I plugged my Z11 of Turtle Beach headset in my other sisters that has Windows 10 HP (she has upgraded to Windows 7) and my Z11 of Turtle Beach headset resembled Mono Stereo Instead of.

  It is also plugged into his ear and they looked like Mono Stereo Instead of.
  
  I tested another helmet my Turtle Beach Headset (This Headset plugs into the USB Port) P11 The Sound is perfect it sounds like stereo and not like Mono.

  However when I spoke into the microphone, I could hear my voice coming through the headset speakers (mainly the hearing talk me)

  Because that was what the default Format on Windows 8.1
  I also click on record and change the setting of the microphone 2 listed.

  Speakers integrated into the laptop: they its OK but not as they did in Windows 8.1

  I've tested on the following:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I tried the sound of setting here is what I tried:

  I uninstalled IDT audio driver I went into Control Panel and uninstalled the IDT Audio driver.

  Then I restarted my computer and I reinstalled the drivers of HP's Windows 8.1.

  After restarting my computer again, I checked to see if everything was back to normal, but it is not yet sounded even.
  
  When I right click on the "speaker" icon and then choose playback devices here is what was posted:
  The top unit is called:
  Its digital display (AMD high definition Audio Device) not connected
  OK, this is Normal.
  
  The central device is called:
  Speaker / device by default HP (IDT High Definition Audio Codec)
  OK, this device is also Normal.
  
  The background feature is called:
  Communication by default communication device Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec)
  OK in Windows 8.1 this device has been disabled by default but in Windows 10 it is activated and listed as default communications device.

  So I thought that if I just disabled it my Turtle Beach P11 helmet would return to normal, but it didn't she sounded still, I even restarted my computer.
  
  OK, so I tried to set the Communications headset as device by default but when I right click and click on set as default device it wouldn't let me.
  
  I then disabled speaker / HP and tried to set it as default device it wouldn't let me.

  A temporary Solution:

  After you have solved the problem by reading through countless messages try every difficulty that none of them I went into Control Panel and he took a glance at the the Dolby Advanced Audio Control Panel now I never tested with this before so far but I was able to fix the Audio questions here is exactly what I did :

  When you use your built-in Laptop speakers or possibly other speakers:
  Right-click on start (the white Windows icon located to the left of the bottom of your screen)
  Click on Control Panel
  Click on hardware and sound
  Click Dolby Advanced Audio
  Click on listening experience
  Check Dolby Advanced Audio

  I've tested on the following:
  Play music (sounded great)
  Played a Youtube video (sounded great)
  Played a video that I saved on my PC (sounded great)
  Played a show or a movie on Netflix (sounded great)

  When you use your headset from Turtle Beach Z11 or possibly other headphones:
  Right-click on start (the white Windows icon located to the left of the bottom of your screen)
  Click on Control Panel
  Click on hardware and sound
  Click Dolby Advanced Audio
  Click on listening experience
  Uncheck Dolby Advanced Audio now, your headset should ring loud instead of sound like Mono and stereo and crappy.

  I've tested on the following:
  Play music (sounded great)
  Played a Youtube video (sounded great)
  Played a video that I saved on my PC (sounded great)
  Played a show or a movie on Netflix (sounded great)

  You need to keep the box checked when you use your built-in Laptop speakers, otherwise they will sound like Mono and crappy.
  
  So basically when you plug in your headphones uncheck the box.
  
  So basically when you disconnect your headset check box.
  
  If you have messed with the implementation in and want to return to the default value:
  Click Advanced settings
  Click on Reset

  I could not Downgrade from Windows 8.1 because it said that files deleted even if windows.old was still there, so I just did a Reset instead.

  Thanks to my temporary fix Audio problems are gone, but I hope that HP releases new drivers, so I can't use my temporary Solution.

  Also I hope HP or Microsoft releases new drivers for the Synaptics TouchPad so that people can save their settings.

  This has been corrected by James Yerkes on Microsoft Community:

  Open regedit.exe

  Navigate to:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install

  Note it's the LOCAL MACHINE, not the CURRENT USER.

  Search for a key in the installation folder called DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade

  Double click and change the value to 0

  Now go back in the Panel of Synaptics, put all how you like and restart.

  in any case if someone has problems with Windows 10 Post here and I'll see if I can help you but I recommend resetting your PC in recovery Menu so that most of the problems will be solved then I would install all my drivers from the manufacturer.

  I am currently using window 8.1 1 driver from AMD and HP drivers.
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  This may not work for everyone, but if you have the same laptop and headphones I don't then it should work.
