• Cannot change the default audio playback device

  Hello

  I tried to get a sound via HDMI, but after hours of trying, each solution is to change the audio playback device by default (in the volume mixer). My PC allow me to do so! It just won't change current default device (digital output Realtech). Can anyone help? It's driving me crazy.

  PC is HP Pavilion Slimline model s5395a. Using Windows 7.

  Thank you, Bill.

  Then, it is the question, if you want to change things in the bios.
  You can make changes so that the pc will not start, so be careful. If you don't change anything else, save.

  It is described here:
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01884922

  You can try some of the other steps first, access to the bios is described before step 10.
  You can 'onboard audio' the value 'Auto', or just turn it off.

• Need help with audio playback by default/current VISTA device

  Hello
  
  I need to get the current audio playback device in VISTA. It is quite easy to XP because I just get this information from the registry. My understanding is that things are different in VISTA. I was told you cannot change the unit but you can get the device using the following...
  
  -CoCreateInstance (IMMDeviceEnumerator)
  -IMMDeviceEnumerator-> GetDefaultAudioEndpoint (eConsole)
  
  Problem is that I don't know what to do with it. I guess it must be compiled with a library (compiler, library, etc...) I do not have)
  
  So... question, is there already a xtra that can get this information OR I can pay someone to do a xtra using the information above?
  
  If you are able/willing to help, please let me know as soon as possible because the project is due next week. I can pay you through paypal.
  
  Thank you!!!

• Is there a way to have Firefox respects the audio output device by default when it has been modified while Firefox is open?

  I've been a Firefox user for many years and I still use it as my main browser. A problem that has bothered me for years lies in the fact that when Firefox is open and I change my audio output device by default, Firefox does not respect this change and continues to play audio through the device that was used to originally. Even if you stop the audio and keep playing, does not change the output device.

  Is there a way that this can be configured in Firefox? Now, if I listen to music online (e.g. Soundcloud) I always use Chrome because it is respect changing the default audio output even in the middle of audio playback device.

  Reproduce:

  1. start audio playback (for example a YouTube video; HTML5 and Flash are affected)
  2. change your audio output device by default
  3. audio will continue to play the original output device

  Thank you!

• Change the default audio device and the recognition of the application

  I'm new to Vista (home premium w/sp2) and I am confused by works the assignment of default device (control_panel-> sounds), specifically the device change with existing applications (running).

  I change frequently between the speakers and the headphones - however, the change of output device is not recognized by running applications, such as iTunes or Firefox and will not be recognized until I have completely quit and restart the application.

  Why?  It is extremely annoying and incoherent other well educated such as Mac OS X platforms.  I would just like to change the default audio output device, on the fly, without the need to restart applications.

  I do something wrong or Vista offers this functionality to the end user?

  Thank you!

  Hello Wyntr,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

  Currently, the function of switching between audio output devices is carried out manually. To make the selection, you can click the sound icon in the taskbar, then click the button at the bottom of the volume control Mixer. In the properties of the volume, you can click on devices in the upper left corner and select the appropriate device to make it the default for applications open from then on.

  Let us know if this can help, or if you have additional questions on this subject.

• Audio USB device not recognized by flow 7 Tablet PC

  Half the reason I bought the 7 flow was to use it has a music player with my D2 USB Audio DAC Headdphone Amp iBaso.

  The device is recognnized by my Office Win 8.1 and all other computers, I plugged in.  Why it is not recognized as an audio playback device is beyond me.  I tried all of the suggestions that I could find on the net without a bit of luck.  Is therte a reason why this feature has been disabled on the 7 Strwea?

  Problem solved!

  It turned out to be a combination of the usb cable and the USB OTG hub.  The iBaso has been specific cable on the device being recognized on my desk.  When I tried the work cable witht the OTG hub on the 7 of flow is not as usual.  But when I tried the market good adapter monoprice it worked.

  Audio usb solves the problem of horrible noise with the jet 7 lookiing for a fix for anyone.

  The OTG hub works with a mouse and a player mSata perfectly, but not with the iBAso CAD.

  Thanks to all who responded to keep me by train.

• No HDMI Audio, could not play the test tone, cannot change the default playback device

  Hello, I have real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us experience (with the i3 - 330 M, no dedicated graphics card) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC and I would be happy to help.

  I created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what has worked for them, nothing has worked for me.

  The problem (s):

  My main problem is that I can not any audio to play from my PC to my HDTV HDMI.

  When I plug my HDMI cable on my PC and the TV, the TV is recognized in the playback devices, but nothing he can play.

  When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get an error "could not play the test tone.

  In addition, I want to mention a few other odd behavior that I think can be a part of the main problem.

  In playback devices, I can't change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can not set as default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes to the properties of the device. Whenever I try to change something, as the default playback device, nothing happens, or the changes are immediately reversed.

  The Question:

  How can I get audio to play through HDMI on my PC (is not a problem with the TV, my other machines HP audio playback over HDMI it is fine)?

  What I tried:

  I tried:

  • Change the default playback devices, which I am unable to do
  • The utilities of reading Audio de Windows 7 running in a clean boot state
  • Uninstall and reinstall the driver Intel(r) Audio display
  • Uninstallation and reinstallation of the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
  • Uninstall the IDT Audio PC program under programs and features
  • Disable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

  Nothing has worked.

  The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP

  How can I get this to work? I would appreciate help.

  I'm at the point where I'm willing to try solutions quite technically involved, so feel free to post those.

  Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  OK, I finally have the answer for that.

  If you experience this problem even and you want to fix it, you'll need a PC running the same version of Windows 7 that your PC works lot of work but it works without problems, with regard to this point.

  Here's what I did to solve the problem:

  1. Create a system restore point.
  2. Run regedit.exe as administrator.
  3. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices \Audio .
  4. Compare the permissions and attributes of ownership of this key and all subkeys to your work PC.
  5. Change all permissions and property attributes for interest on the defective PC keys as they are the same as those on the operation of the PC.
  6. Restart your faulty computer.

  I hope this helps. It worked for me.

Now: The big problem is that I have no sound. He said: No Audio device. Everything is gray out. I have installed all updates this website told me. Pack 3 Windows, updates of security 77, Fixit sofware to solve problems, check my audio card, etc. etc. It becomes infinite and I had installed updates and crazy things. All I want is my audio to work so my speakers have her again. I don't know what else to do after having tried all of these steps windows troubleshooting. All are the same, but not solve my problem. I already went to... Device Manager sound controllers, multimedia audio controllers, I restart those, disable and re-enable back.
