Headset with Vista issues

Hi, I have Windows Vista, and lately I've been using my headset more often on my laptop.  With other computers and devices, my headset works fine.  However, with my computer in the left earpiece is much stronger (normal volume) that right (barely audible).  I think that my drivers are up to date, so what else could be the problem?

Hi MelC329,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. to when was the last time the headset worked fine on the computer?

Method 1

First of all, I would say that you make sure that the audio speakers and the settings are correct on the computer and also configure Headphone virtualization, check if it helps.

Adjust the speaker volume

Get high definition sound and music from your computer

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/get-high-definition-sound-and-music-from-your-computer

Method 2

If the previous step fails, then I suggest that you manually download and install the updated drivers for the soundcard on the computer by visiting the manufacturer of the computer or sound card manufacturer's Web site and check if that helps.

Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  • Issue with Vista wireless

    Computing:   I have a Dell XPS 420 Desktop Computer with wireless capability with a Broadcom 802.11 network adapter g. operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1

    History: I had my computer since December 2007 and used to access wireless internet with Bellsouth DSL and a Linksys router, and then for the past year, I got paired with a Linksys WRT150N router comcast. I have had no problems to connect to the internet until Verizon Fios has been installed on the Sunday, August 30, 2009.
    That said, I tried with a Dell laptop in windows XP and it is connected. I also tried with a mini computer dell laptop running XP and it is also connected. Yet once again, I say that all three of these computers connected to the internet using Linksys and two different ISPS, it was with the switch to verizon that it has lost its ability to connect.

    Verizon has installed a router wireless Actiontec MI424WR Rev E.
    Firmware version: 20.9.0 (this is the most to date version)

    I can't connect my Dell XPS 420 desktop using a wired LAN connection to the router and establish an internet connection. I'm not able to establish a wireless internet connection. When I try to go wireless, it is said:
    Public Network - unidentified network - Local access only.
    IPv4 connectivity: Local
    IPv6 connectivity: Local
    Media state: enabled
    SSID: FWLK5

    On the connection tab:

    The checkmarks are: connect automatically in case of beach, connect to a more preferred network if available.

    On the Security tab:

    Link Layer topology discovery responder

    Sharing:
    The two boxes are checked:
    Allow other users to connect through this computer network
    Allow the other network users to control or disable the shared connection

    What I've tried so far based on reading previous forums discussing this issue.

    1. completely uninstalled Norton 360, including using the Norton removal tool and by calling the customer service of Norton who has accessed the computer and verified the complete removal.

    2 turned off the windows firewall.

    3 make sure the Broadcom network adapter driver has been the most up to date.

    4. people with disabilities and reinstalled the card network Broadcom.

    5 update Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and all other updates installed today.

    6 call Verizon Online support - they reset the modem and tried several things like change the "channel". Nothing has worked. They said to contact the computer manufacturer. They have pointed the finger to be a problem with Vista from the computers Windows XP work.

    7. called Dell: they tried several things with access to remote and says that it is the problem of the router/ISP.

    8. unplug the router several times, waited 5 minutes and plugged in. Has made several rounds of power on the computer as well.

    9. changing a registry key according to Microsoft technical support to disable the DHCP Broadcast flag in windows vista (I'm not entirely sure I did correct it because I didn't know what was the GUID) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

    10 disabling IPv6 (by unchecking it)

    11 disabling IPv4 (by unchecking it)

    12 Ran IPConfig to confirm I have a valid IP address (starts with 192 and is valid I don't know if I should post the full address)

    13 fact MSCONFIG with reset winsock

    14 changed the settings TCP/IP by netsh int ip reset at the command prompt, and out, and then uupon done restart ncpa.cpl in the start menu and unchecked the tcp/ip v6 Protocol restarted the computer.

    15. don't attempt to ping a website - no Exchange packets, error message cannot find the Web site. I tried www.google.com and www.verizon.com

    I am at a loss of what I can do to get my computer back operational wireless. Due to the entire office to the top of our House, I would really like this computer on another level and the only way to accomplish that without drilling the holes through the walls that it it works wireless.

    Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    UPDATE:   I rented the "Geek Squad" to come look at my system. The poor guy spent 3 hours going through all stages. Finally a last ditch effort he has installed a new NIC card. Bingo that fixed for some reason any. Apparently, the old NIC card was bad, even if the system was saying that it was good. The old NIC card was allowing him to connect to the router but no internet. He said it was weird, but the problem is SOLVED!

  • Performance issues with Vista on Satellite L40 - 14N

    I just signed up to your forum, it's really nice, how it works.
    I bought 3 months ago, a satellite L40-14N, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, but I'm starting to get tired of the delays.
    I also have a problem, always Walker I want to open some windows, such as control panel or my computer and all my icons on the desktop disappear after some time will be displayed again, but not the application open before (Panel configuration or my computer).

    I wanted to ask all of you, what may be the problem, in fact I think to get rid of Vista and install XP, do you think it would be a good idea?
    If so, what kind of xp (sp2, sp3, etc.)? And, what I would have in return when I install xp, as what drivers need me for my laptop works properly again?

    Thank you very much... good day

    Hello

    He knows that the Vista operating system is in need of more resources as a Microsoft OS at the beginning of s.
    I have a Vista on the L30 and I get a really slow performance.
    In addition many services and processes running in the background of the operating system. It also decreases performance.
    But all background processes are needed if you want to use all the features of notebooks such as the FN keys or buttons to Toshiba for example.

    However, I've installed XP on the L30 without any additional driver for the FN keys, control buttons etc and it was amazing to see how fast the laptop can be.

    So generally it s not a bad idea to install XP on the L40.
    But note; If you want to install XP on the L40 you must install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager first. Without this driver SATA XP does not recognize the HARD drive.

    Greetings

  • Problem with Vista hit the Satellite X 200 - 20 s

    Sometimes during typing on vista, it will stutter and freeze. The time is very short. Is this a problem with vista or the laptop. The T7300 Core 2 Duo 2 ghz processor.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro S200 and the same problem was with my camera. It s is not a hardware problem, it s more a driver related issue No. So, the best thing you can do is update your bios and keep your drivers up-to-date. Just check the download Drivers Toshiba site and make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

    I had resolved my stuttering (core2duo 2.33 Ghz, 2 GB RAM) by updating all drivers...

    That's all

  • Re: Satellite L300D-13s - WiFi does not work with Vista

    I have a L300D-13s that came with Visa Home Premium on it.

    His work very well outside the wireless that refuses to work.
    I always "Wireless Association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router.

    The wiresless is a Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802. 11b / g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapt
    I am running the latest version of the BIOS and the 6.1148.924.2008 drivers dated 2008-09-24. If I use the latest drivers on the RealTek site, I get a message about an unknown error.

    If I use the NETWORK Ethernet card, then he gets a fine IP address so this isn't the show indicator to publish.
    Its not wireless security (I understand that Vista does not support WEP 128 bit). I turned off and it still does.

    Other laptops running XP connect correctly and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP so I boot Linux.
    If the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the drivers.

    If someone has solved this.

    And no - don't tell me to go out and buy a router "Vista compatible".
    If Vista does not work with router XP and other operating systems compatible with Vista is wrong.

    Hello

    > Other portable XP connect correctly and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP so I boot Linux. If the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the drivers.
    I would say it is not a Vista problem or a Realtek driver problem because I have a Vista and Realtek WLan card and I can connect properly to my router.
    In you case, I would say that there is a compatibility problem between the router and the Vista because as you said the laptop can connect properly using Linux.

    I have goggled a bit and could solve most of the people who have had this issue, update the firmware on the router s.

    Maybe you should try that too.

  • I am satisfied with Vista on my Satellite A100

    I'm very unhappy with my Satellite A 100 with VISTA OS,
    I can't install so many programs, a multi machine (all-in-one) doesn't not work (laser, scanner, fax, photocopier) work only printer.,
    Both software do not work, creator of adobe pdf, dvix players...
    Vista crashes all...

    Vista is bad choice for me.
    I can't uninstall Vista and install WXP because I will be pou a guarantee :(

    I'm so unhappy.

    Hello

    What to say. In fact, 3rd party programs and hardware devices don t work with vista because of software compatibility issues and order! It is done and only the different device factory could change that.

    You said that you can not uninstall Vista and install WXP because I'm going to lose coverage.
    I put t agree with you. The installation of XP has no influence on the validity of the guarantee.
    You will not lose the warranty!

    I advise to use the XP as second operating system. You could install it on the second partition.
    In this case, you can always use two BONES; Vista and XP.

  • Qosmio F20 with Vista: display is not wake up from sleep/standby

    I hope someone can stop pulling my hair out - please!
    I have a Qosmio f20-136 that I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. I managed to install Ultimate Visa on what actually works very well. I get a score of 3.4 Visa which means Aero works very well. The lowest score of void is actually the CPU (the 1.6 GHz Pentium M) with following 3D graphics to 3.9 with the Geforce Go 6600.

    However, I have an annoying problem.
    Hibernate works very well - he hibernates and returned very well. I have the power button set for the Hibernate now and also in the start menu power button.
    If I close the lid it goes to sleep and when I opened the lid it picks up perfectly. There is the sound of a device connection / disconnection when I open and close the lid.

    However, here's the problem. I would like to use the power button to sleep rather than hibernation and I don't want to wear and tear on the hinges of the screen by keep opening and closing the lid. So, I tried to set the power button to sleep and also tried selecting sleep in the start menu options. In both cases, the machine goes to sleep but then a problem when I try to resume.

    The powers of the machine upward but the screen is black. Everything is alive, but I don't see anything.
    If I unplug the power cable and plug again (which changes the brightness of the screen), then it comes to life. If I close and re - open the lid, it comes to life. Nothing else he raises.

    Some would say that I'm picky because I'm almost there with vista, but I dearly would solve this issue. Can anyone help please.

    Currently using the video driver 97.52. I installed the added G30 package (without the energy control) that works. FN buttons not working (although the multimedia keys - if anyone has a solution for that I wouldn't be thrilled!.) I tried support button for the G30 but does not work).

    Please help if you can.

  • My games suddenly stopped working on my laptop with vista SP 2 after a single pass?

    Ideas: I use a Gateway laptop with vista Home premium sp 2, AMD turion x 2 dual core x 64 bit, fitted an ATI HD 3200 graphics card. (The card is built-in.) He is more than capable of handling the Dead Space, Bioshock, big chase and combat arms and run each of them perfectly at maximum quality, except for dead space, which had to be alleviated a little to improve the speed and responsiveness.

    • Programs: Borderlands, Dead Space, Bioshock, Grand Chase, Combat arms.
    • No error message. Games freeze just to the preloader or splash screen. The processes are still ongoing, but there is no game window or the game got stuck on splash screen. (I have to 'end of process' to stop smoking completely.)
    • Recent changes made to your computer: just closed, each of these games after their execution 1 time, and they would not work again. Problem occurred after a standard, so that could have linked somehow.
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem: compatibility, analysis antivirus, cleaning Mode, running in as long as administrator, disabling firewall, protection against viruses, disabling the registry Disabling UAC, each administrator, update drivers for graphics card, system update, reinstall everything THAT I can think of who could fix this problem.
    • NOTE: I ran these games on another computer and they work fine. A solution to this issue has completely escaped me.

    Have you tried to reinstall or update your directX? or your visual c ++ Redistributable files? Sometimes, if this stuff is corrupted (and you won't know until you start a game generally because it stops working) and you need to reinstall such things.

  • HDX16 with VISTA keyboard repeat letters

    Hello @upsetuser ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that your keyboard repeats letters when typing.

    Make sure that the sticky keys is not enabled. To check if it is enabled press SHIFT 5 times repeatedly and you should hear a beep or receive a pop up on the activation or deactivation of the sticky keys.

    If StickyKeys is not enabled, perform a hard reset on the phone. Turn it off, remove the AC adapter and remove the battery. Press and hold the button for 30 seconds and reinsert the AC adapter and the battery. Turn on the laptop and test.

    The language of the keyboard reset may also help:

    1. click on start.
    2. click on Control Panel.
    3. click on clock, language and region.
    4. click on the region and language.
    5. click on the keyboards and languages tab.
    6. click on change keyboards...
    7. on the general tab, make sure that English (United States) - U.S. is selected in the default input language field.
    8. click on any other keyboards in the list of installed services.
    9. click on remove.
    10. Repeat for all other non-English (United States) keyboards.

    Finally, reconnect the keyboard cable. There is no guide service available for your laptop so it will require a careful disassembly of the laptop to disconnect the keyboard connections and reconnect them.

    If none of this works, you may need to try a restore system before the issue started. To do this tap F11, while the laptop turns on to access the HP Recovery Manager. Select the option system restore and choose a date before the problem started. After restoring to test the keyboard. A recovery of the system (reinstalling Windows) should be the last resort before you send the laptop for service.

    If you decide the laptop needs to be repaired you can contact HP telephone support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

    Hope this helps!

  • Internet with Vista problem

    Hello

    I am able to connect to internet to all the computers in my house... except one... my office - he has Vista... don't know if it of a Vista issue or not.

    On my desk, I am only able to connect locally to the router, but not to the internet. When I run a "diagnose connection problems", I get the following message: "cannot communicate with primary DNS (192.X.X.X) - diagnostics network ping to the remote host server, but has not received a response.

    I am connected to the router and I know that I have a connection between the computer and the router... However, for some reason, the router doesn't connect with the internet.

    I tried reseting the network adapter "connecting to LAN" - but that has not solved the problem either.

    Any help is appreciated... problem was raised only in the last day

    Had the same problem - Dell called and they told me that last update of Windows has a problem and they had loads of calls since the update came out this weekend.

    Open system - system restore tools and restore before updating on 18 August and everything should be OK. Don't forget to turn off the automatic updates until Microsoft fixes the problem
