Flashing speaker sound: Windows 8:

With the help of Lenovo Ideapad Z500 Touch. About 2 weeks ago my sound stopped most of the time.  Occasionally, it will work for a minute when I reboot or restart.

Realtek High definition is marked as default speaker.  (the speakers are NOT silent)  Troubleshooting the audio results in "no problems found".   Sometimes when I'm in my audio information, I get a message that the application is used by another device (or something like that), but have checked everywhere in my computer and cannot find anything a likely culprit.  Does not work with or without headphones plugged.  I'm not super technical, I hope someone can help!

Thanks in advance!

  • Dell inspiron 15R n5010 no sound, Windows 10

    I have dell 15R (N5010) and have problems with the audio drivers. When I upgrade to Windows 10 my audio drivers not working and have no sound. I spoke with the community of Microsof, he send to dell... It's a rly funny because dell allow users of portable computers more former because they have no benefits for this. The warranty is over so bye :) Can someone help me?

    Attention to anyone reading this thread:

    Make sure you know the name of your template before you install a driver!

    The topic of this thread is "Dell inspiron 15R n5010 no sound, Windows 10. The problem is that there is no model with this exact name. There is an Inspiron N5010 from 15and an Inspiron 15R N5110.

    They are different models and different drivers. In other words, the audio driver for the N5010 is not intended for the N5110 and vice versa.

    To complicate matters, someone named aimeehuang posted in this thread and put in a link named "dell 15r n5010 drivers download. But if you click on the link it goes to a page for Inspiron 15R N5110.

    The person named 'aimeehuang' is not used on this discussion forum and probably got confused model names.

    Check the name of your model. If you have an Inspiron 15 N5010, use driver IDT audio R280657. It is intended for Win7, so install in Win10 using compatibility mode (instructions below).

    If you have an Inspiron 15R N5110, use the IDT 6.10.0.6421 audio driver. It is intended for Windows 8. He could install without problems in Win10, but if there is a problem, install it using compatibility mode (instructions below).

    1. download and save the audio driver on your computer or to any location on the hard drive...
    2. double-click on the new folder to extract (unzip) the files of the driver.
    3. the wizard of the extractor will create a new folder for the driver files. It will be located at the "c:\dell\drivers\xxxxxx". Note the exact location that the wizard creates.
    4. If the driver begins to install automatically, stop (cancel) installation.
    5. search for the driver files on the hard drive (the location you noted).
    6. find the file "setup.exe".
    7. right click on setup.exe to open the context menu.
    8. Select Properties.
    9. Select the Compatibility tab.
    10. check the box "run this program in compatibility mode for"... Win7 (or Win8 if you install the Win8 to the N5110 driver).

    I get an error 0 x 80070570 when you access my flash drive using windows 7, but the same flash drive works perfectly on two other PC's with Windows XP. It's frustrating because I need to backup and transfer files.

    Hello
     
    1 you get an error message with this error code?

    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    b. click the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
    c. click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click Find now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    d. Click Start.
     
    Depending on the size of your drive, it may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.
     
    Important: Running chkdsk on the drive if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Cannot download Adobe Flash Player om my computer with Windows 7 64 bit. Can someone help me with this problem?

    Even if you are a 64-bit machine 8 default IE should be 32-bit version.  This is the version that runs on 64-bit computers by default.  If you use this version, then the problems will disappear.  As previously reported Adobe are still working on a version of Flash for 64 - bit.

  • I can't install Adobe Flash Player on Windows 7, IE11

    I can't install Adobe Flash Player on Windows 7, IE11 after countless attempts.  I installed Chrome (which I didn't do, and I still don't know if it was necessary), I updated Java to the latest version, I uninstalled Silverlight (thinking maybe it has been installed by default), I also (temporarily) disabled my Norton protection when installing it the last 4 times, and I made sure that the add-on has been "enabled" in the fall of management modules area , and yet, he does not show it when I do a test of the Adobe system being installed. It also does not appear on my start - search for Adobe programs.  I'm completely frustrated, especially when the web page to download Adobe told me that all the 3 steps are completed and effective and thank you & Enjoy.  I have read the forums as well, but I can't find a solution.  Help, please. Thank you, Bill

    If you do not have an error during the installation of the plugin is probably installed successfully.  It is possible that the plugin is disabled in Internet Explorer or ActiveX filtering is disabled.  Please see: Enable Flash Player for Internet Explorer and ActiveX in Internet Explorer filtering after ensuring the Flash Player is enabled and activeX filtering is disabled, via IE to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click on the "Check now" button  What are the results for Information System?

    Java and Silverlight are two completely different programs, have nothing to do with Flash Player.

    Flash Player is a browser plugin and will not appear on a start - search Adobe programs.  It appears in Control Panel > Add Remove programs.

    Hello

    From Windows 8, Microsoft integrates Flash Player in Internet Explorer and all updates are distributed by Microsoft, no Adobe.

    In addition to checking that Flash Player is enabled, please ensure that the ActiveX filtering is disabled, see difficulty ActiveX in Flash Player in Internet Explorer issues.

    Today is patch Tuesday, which means that Microsoft will come out all sorts of updates, including an update to Flash Player for IE.  I don't know when they're going to live, because the update has not yet posted to Microsoft Security Advisory 2755801.  You can check this page later today, or run Windows Update later today or tomorrow to install updates.
