Envy 17-n108tx: Realtek HD Audio driver problems

17-n108tx want my laptop is preinstalled with Windows 10 and have jumped several hoops for upgrading to Windows 7, I found myself with a minor problem...

When I first start up in Windows 7, I have no sound, and the light on the button mute on my keyboard no longer works.

When I try to 'test' output in the sound properties my device, I get the error "the device is used by another application. (edit: disabling the option "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" does nothing to remedy).

If I disable and re-enable the "Realtek High Definition" Audio device then I suddenly audio again, but the light on the button mute remains broken.

If I choose instead to reinstall the audio driver (sp72117.exe), and then the two audio AND the mute button light work as expected - at least until the next reboot.

I have currently only SP1 is installed from Windows Update. I can go ahead and install all the other minor updates to see if any of them address this problem. During this time, but I would like to know if someone else might have a solution to this inconvenience. Having to reinstall the driver again and again is hardly a solution.

Thank you

Finished installing any other Windows 7 update that helped my audio to work even after a restart, but the light on the button mute was still broken.

For anyone else who has a similar problem, this is how I fix (unless it breaks again in the next 24 hours):

1. install SP1 and other updates. If it was not more than 140 of them, I could have tried to determine the exact KB.

2 uninstall the Realtek HD Audio device via Device Manager - do not forget to remove the pilot with him.

3. Select Action-> Scan for hardware changes, Windows will install a generic audio driver.

4. make a generic audio driver right click and select "Update driver software", then "Browse my computer for driver software".

5 find your "C:\SWsetup" folder and click Next. Windows should automatically install the appropriate driver files that sp72117.exe left to count.

I suspect that installing the driver manually, as opposed to allowing sp72117.exe to install it because the case. But I do not know for sure until I have reformat again in the distant future. Who knows, maybe I'll give 10 Windows another shot at that time.

  • Realtek HD Audio driver disappears after installing an ATI Radeon graphics card

    My Realtek HD Audio driver disappears (the Vista "Sound Manager" and "Device Manager") and is replaced with an ATI HD Audio driver after you install an ATI Radeon 5450 graphics card.  I tried to uninstall the ATI Audio driver and re - install the Realtek Audio driver.  But, after reboot, Vista automatically re - installs the ATI Audio driver (and the Realtek Audio driver, which I have just reinstalled, is not where after the reboot).  I use a HP a6110n desktop running Windows Vista.

    This works!  I would never have suspected that the problem was a BIOS setting.  Thanks for the good advice!

  • Satellite L300 17L - audio driver problems

    Audio driver problems, I use Windows XP SP2, I installed the MS patches, but still there is no sound.

    And in the control panel in the sound section says that there is no audio driver installed.

    I need help please!

    Hello!

    It s a known issue and when you search a bit in the forum you will find a large number of publications on this subject.

    Remove the sound card from the Device Manager and the high definition Audio Controller from Device Manager.
    And then update Windows with KB835221 & KB888111 patch, reboot several times, and then you can install the driver from Realtek but download and install Realtek driver directly.

    Hello

    Recently, I checked my RealTek HD Audio drivers and found that the "stdriver64.sys" driver is not digitally signed.  It can be connected to a crash problem that I have known for two weeks now, so I try to update all the drivers and see if it will solve this problem.  When I click on update drivers for RealTek HD Audio, a message returned quickly saying that all drivers are up-to-date.  But again controlled the pilot "stdriver64.sys" shows that it is not digitally signed.  Is there another way to update this driver or another way to take with this?  Thank you for your help.

  • Realtek Audio driver problem

    I have a problem with my audio driver that comes no doubt of my motherboard (Asus M5A97 MORE)
    This happens almost every day. Anytime my pc audio just cuts, if I try to reactivate it by unpluging and pluging back in my headphone or mute and reactivate of my audio mixer I have constant ear noise squeal.
    The only way I can fix it by changing my audio type: stereo at quadroponic and it is back to normal, but about 3-4 hours later that the audio will cut again.

    Occasional whole audio driver will be out later I have to restart my pc to fix, but when after restarting uninstalled my audio driver it's self from my pc and I have no sound at all. So of course I just download and install the driver, but it still happens.
    Is this a problem with the sound card on my motherboard? Because I reinstalled my windows and this problem still occurs.

    Hi Kris,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the continuous sound break and sound driver gets uninstalled after a reboot. I can understand the inconvenience, and will be happy to respond to your request. Let me ask you;

    • How to install the audio driver?
    • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    • What security software is installed on the computer?

    This could be due to the incompatibility of the driver, damage, any third-party software or a card of the same mother as well. Let's try the following methods and check the status.

    Method 1: Make sure that your playback devices are activated.

    Right click on the speaker on your taskbar icon > select "playback devices"
    In the empty space, right-click and select the two ' Show disconnected/Disabled Devices "

    You can see icons for your speakers and headphones now?  You may need to activate these two.

    Method 2: Run the audio Troubleshooter

    Click 'Start' > select ' Control Panel '

    In the top-right of type search field Troubleshooting > select "Troubleshooting"

    Click "Hardware and sound" > select "play Audio"

    Method 3: If you have not tried this method, try it. Visit the computer manufacturer's support Web site and install the latest sound driver and check.

  • Satellite A100-920 - Audio driver problem - Win XP Pro

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with audio driver. I can't seem to find one that works anywhere, I looked at several forums and the Toshiba site for drivers without success. I basically hit a wall, so I hope someone can provide a working solution. :)

    Audio device:
    Feature: 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
    Manufacturer: Intel

    (Information retrieved using a Ubuntu 9.04 Live CD)

    Although a windows system it labels as "Realtek High Definition Audio Controller"? (I'm not an expert with the drivers, so maybe this is a stupid question...) :)

    The computer is a Toshiba Satellite A100-920 (PSAA9E) Windows XP Professional.

    I spent hours trying to solve this problem, so I hope this is the last mile. :) Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

    Best regards

  • Audio crash - IDT HD audio driver problem?

    Audio crashes when you use it (going to basically just silent), even after the Reinstall driver (IDT HD Audio Driver). When restarting the PC, audio will work temporarily, and then down very quickly if there are several Chrome tablets with audio and also crashed by using only a single media player (Spotify). I have not received the error messages.  When this happens, I am also unable to change the level of average volume point-and-click and keyboard shortcuts.  I use a HP Envy laptop with 64-bit Windows 8.1

    Through recommendations in previous posts, I had gone before my assignment. The diagnosis did not find any problems. Headphones also did not work. Volume settings and the speaker are correct. And re - install the driver did not work.

    I did, however, decide to download and install certain optional Windows updates.  I use HP Support Assistant for automatic updates, but had not checked the optional updates in a few months (I think there are 4 available).  During these updates and reboot several times, the problem seems to be solved.

    Thanks for getting back to me, if!

  • Microphone does not work on HPE 020be (Realtek HD audio driver)

    Hello

    Is there a month, I bought a 020 HPE. The microphone was working, but since a week or 2, it no longer works. I tried to update the driver, but without success (this is the version 6.0.1.5910 for the moment). I checked the material, and it seems ok. My helmet also gives only his left side while working on another PC.

    Anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Thx a lot!

    Hello

    I found the solution myself.

    I did a system reinstall from the original image. After that I did the update to windows and I have installed all updates, except one. If you install the optional realtek driver update, then the microphone no longer works. Therefore, do not update and keep the original version of the audio driver realtek 6.0.1.5882 if you have already done the installation, then you can not go back to the original situation by installing the version 6.0.1.5882, you really need a system restore.

    I hope that I helped you this.

  • BROWSER DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AFTER DOWNLOADING THE REALTEK HD AUDIO DRIVER

    PC: Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Slimline model: s3307C

    Operating system: 32-bit Vista Edition Home Premium

    I wanted to update my sound driver and downloaded the Realtek HD Audio 32 bits for Vista2013 that I saw that I already had the 2009 version.  the one I downloaded is the version of the file R-271 2.11.15.0

    Can no longer use my browsers, they keep loading and after a certain number minutes, (20) and then I get a message saying that Web pages are not displayed and the option to wait or kill the pages, it's on the Chrome browser.  Internet Explorer behaves in a similar way.  My computer says I am connected to the internet.

    I called my internet provider and they had me reset the modem to factory reset, no results.

    They asked me to ping google.com, computer failed.

    I tried two restores system without result, he will not restore

    I tried to uninstall this 'thing', and the computer re-installed.

    Running out of options here, can someone please help me? or if my computer is ruined?

    Thank God I have a second, a laptop computer to ask for help on.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I don't see why the browsers do not work due to a change to the Audio.  I can imagine that the Audio does not, but I do not see the link between an update to the Audio and network failure.

    I do not recognize the patch / update installed.

    NOTES

    • To REMOVE the driver in Device Manager, you must uninstall, AND check the box to remove the driver. -Restart the system to complete the uninstallation.
    • This opens the system up to the old driver installation / original / correct, but this means that you must have something available to replace the removed driver.
    • If you use the Recovery Manager, you may not be everything first remove the existing driver - you can try just saying the system to restore the original and see if it works.  Restart the computer after installation.

    =====================================================================================

    The driver can be very well and it's the cache driver and instructions in memory which is trashed.  Power reset drain all the old instructions and forces the system to go on the drive to read the drivers and software on the computer.

    Resetting the forced feeding

    Execution of a coercive power reset or forced Reset

    Power reset cannot tell the difference between drivers - it does not analyze a driver before applying.  It assumes that all the drivers on your computer belong there.

    EXAMPLE:

    • If the driver on the disk is the wrong driver before rebooting, it's always the wrong driver after the reset.
    • If the INSTRUCTIONS of the driver are tangled, messed up, or there are missing pieces of these instructions, the reset can solve the problem.

     

    Why a power reset works to solve some problems:

    The power reset does not install anything on your computer, it does not remove the programs on your computer and Reset does not change the settings on your computer.  Your data and programs remain as they were before the reset has been applied.  Reset runs old program of the memory instructions and forces the computer go to disk operating system for new instructions.

    Why a power reset does not work:

    If the problem is more than a simple tangle, if 'good job' on the computer is not good enough - in other words, you need an update, a new driver, or there is a problem that can not be "unraveled", then reset won't work.

    If there is a hardware problem power reset will not work.

  • Audio driver problem

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U305-S7448.  About 75% of the time it starts, it does not load the sound driver and there is an adjacent X to the icon of the spear.  When you hover over the "speaker" icon, it sets up a message that says: "no Audio output device is installed".  I passed to the Toshiba support page and re downloaded the realtek audio driver.  No help.  An audio device does not yet appear on Device Manager.  Vista updates are up to date.  Now what?

    Farel salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you no longer have sound in Windows 8 and you also tried to re - install the audio driver. I appreciate the efforts made in the patches that you have already tried. Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the computer?

    There could be several reasons for this cause and diagnose the problem, we will try the following methods and check.

    Method 1: Run the audio Troubleshooter

    A convenience store is an automated tool that can find and automatically fix problems with your PC. Audio troubleshooting can diagnose and troubleshoot equipment and playback of sounds common.

    Method 2: Look for important and recommended updates by using Windows Update

    1. Drag from the right edge of the screen, tap settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
      (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top, click settingsand then click change PC settings).
    2. Press or click update and recoveryand press or click on Windows Update.

    3. Press or click check now.

    4. If there are updates available, press or click on the link and then press or click on install.

      Windows Update will tell you if the updates have been installed correctly.

    To check the optional updates by using Windows Update:

    1. Drag from the right edge of the screen, tap settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
      (If you use a mouse, point to the lower right of the screen, move the mouse to the top, click settingsand then click change PC settings).

    2. Press or click update and recovery , and then press or click on Windows Update.

    3. Press or click see detailsand press or click find updates. (If you can't see the details, it are not updated optional available.)

    4. Under option, tap or click the update you want to install, and then click install.

      Read and accept the terms of the license and then press or click on Finish if the update requires it. You may be prompted for an administrator password or to confirm your choice.

    Method 3: Install the software from the manufacturer of the device. If your device is equipped with a disk, this disk can contain software that installs a driver for the device.

    Method 4:

    1 right-click the volume in the taskbar icon, and select sounds
    2. scroll down about 3/4 on the events program: the list and select the option that says Windows user account control
    3. change the sounds: option ( no), and then click OK
