• My headphone port does not work.

  I have a Windows Vista laptop and my headphone port no longer works. When I plug my headphones in, only the right speaker works. It worked before but stopped when I turned it on this morning. I tried to restart my laptop but it still does not work.

  Please respond quickly!

  Hello

  1 when was the last time it was working fine?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  I suggest you connect other earpiece to the front port and check if it works, it's to check if the port is not bad.

  Also, make sure that the default audio device is properly set on the computer.

  Verify that the default audio device is correctly set

  (a) click the Start button, click Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.

  (b) click on the read tab make sure that the correct default audio device is selected. (For most users, the default audio device's speakers and if you have connected headphones then it should be set as default device)

  (c) if the default device is not set to the right audio device, on the read tab, select the appropriate device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and verify that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, click OK.

  (d) on the Read tab, select the playback device, click set upand make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

  (e) if the sound settings are set correctly and that your speakers are already set as default device, go to "Check if an audio driver is installed" now.

  (f) select the audio device you want as audio device by default, and then click set as default.

  (g) click on OK to save your settings.

  Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

  If this does not work it could be a problem with the port which is connected so need to check if it works well or not.

  Try to move the holder after connecting the port and check if it works fine in both speakers or not.

• HP pavilion Dv6 laptop: does not start in normal mode, safe mode

  Hi all

  I have HP Pavilion DV6 laptop with windows 7 Home premium 64-bit OS. It was working fine up until two or three days.

  After that some software upgrades, it has stopped booting.   When I tried to start it in safe mode, it stops at disk.sys.

  I don't have win 7 OS CD or recovery CD.  So I downloaded the trail version of windows 7 SP1, I want to install this, but he is suspended the windows logo.  I Googled it has bitten, I loaded a linux kernel and access the hard disk.  I backed up all the files required by using this boot of linux.

  I don't know what to do now?  What is the problem with my system. When I ran the drive diagnostic. It was a failure. That means that I can't use this HARD drive?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Concerning

  Stéphane

  Hi stephane,

  Well the error code certainly would indicate that the player began to fail, but just in case, you might try to wipe the entire hard drive first and then reinstalling the operating system as described below.

  Download and install Killdisk on the link below - (this application will write zeros to the entire disk).

  http://Software.LSoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe

  Download and install ImgBurn on the link below.

  http://download.CNET.com/ImgBurn/3000-2646_4-10847481.html

  Access the application of disc kill you have installed in all programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators, then the BACK Bootable CD Creator that will burn the ISO on a blank CD bootable.

  During the following process do not worry about all warnings as your Windows 7 installation disk will reformat the HARD drive.

  Insert this CD into your PC which is unable to load the operating system properly. Close Notepad, and then start again to boot from the CD of Killdisk and follow the instructions on the screen to kill disk.

  A brief description of the process here is Killdisk.

  Use it to wipe the entire hard drive, Select (80 h) and press f10 (you will also need to type a confirmation and press enter) - ( This will make sure to include all of the partitions , and then start the process - this may take a few hours!).

  When the process is complete, remove the CD of Killdisk and try to reinstall Windows 7.

  If it still does not work, I think your only option is to replace the HARD drive.

  Kind regards

• Printer LaserJet 4100: Should which cable I for Laserjet 4100 connected to the laptop with USB port

  I have the HP Laserjet 4100 printer. I bought a new laptop with USB ports.  What type of printer cable I need to connect the printer to my laptop? Is there some kind of printer cable adapter, or something else that will do the trick?

  I have the same question about my HP Laserjet 1100 printer.

  Thanks in advance for your assistance expected.

  If I remember correctly, the 1100 uses a cable "C", alias MicroCentronics.  Have never seen an adapter for that one.  On the 4100, you can get a USB to parallel adapter.  They are pretty cheap and available at most CESS (Consumer Electronics Super Store) as Best Buy.  Staples and OfficeMax/Office Depot should also wear.  Online is cheaper if you have time to wait.

  The thing with these USB converters is often must 'install' the cable first.  In other words, connect it to the laptop, then wait so he could install, then connect the printer.  Depending on your operating system and if you have correct updates that can be almost instantaneous, and you may not even see it pop on the screen.

  Best idea is that since these are obviously not portable machines, connect them to your router via a network card.  I had the 1100 years and used a cheap 170 X.  I know most recent are available which are faster.

  For the 4100, see if you can retrieve a Jet Direct 620 unit on eBay.  Probably less than $50 and sometimes even as little as $25.  Stay away from the 600, 510 or 615 cards.  Low or as the 600, they can leave your network open to hackers.  No need to get Gigabit cards as they will be well above what the 4100 can handle.

  Now, two of these old devices, processing power and memory can be a problem.  Never try to print documents online.  Save them on your laptop, and then print.  You will probably get communication errors if you print directly from IE or FireFox.

  If the 1100 does not die, not even worth fixing.  Put into a Fuser is a nightmare.  The 4100 will probably work for another 20 years if you keep to clean and replace the rolls before they cause jams.

• 3 laptops different ALL been facing intermittent problems with the USB ports.

  We have 3 laptops at home, running 3 different versions of winsows 7... Home, Professional and Ultimate. They have in recent months ALL given intermittent problems with the USB ports. A device that worked on a port stops working. It may or may not work on another port. A week later it could very well lead again on the port that wouldn't work. This applies to all types of devices.

  A few more questions:

  Is there a USB device that you use with all three computers?

  This problem occurs with all kinds of USB devices?

  The is the problem with all the USB ports on each laptop?

  Have you tried to reinstall the USB drivers? As in, uninstall via the Device Manager, restart your PC and allowing Windows to reinstall?

• His problem with laptop speakers and headphones

  Yes, the night last and Eve, my speakers worked very well. In the long run a moment a Skype call, I had to switch to headphones because volume speakers is weak for a reason any. Don't ask me how or why. in any case, I have it plugged headphones can hear the sound of typing the volume bar in the Volume control and can listen to music through THAT my helmet. I've heard if your not careful, you can jam the switch between laptop speakers and headphones, so I tried pulling the plug in and out a few times, not good... I have a Dell Inspiron 9400 Intel under Windows XP SP3.

  Also, I made sure all the boxes in my properties of Volume control are enabled and are uncut.
  EDIT: So, figures that my Sigma Tel Audio necessary or needed a new driver, I went to Dell.com and downloaded the last being, installed, rebooted and then suddenly I hear these little tones, sounds is fixed again. So, I don't know if this issue must meet more.

• Attach two headphones listening usb with a computer microphone compaq laptop with windows vista.

  I'm trying to attach two usb headsets to a computer compaq laptop with windows vista.  A set of works of helmet very well but the other does not until one is removed.

  Hi dmilten,

   

  In Windows Vista, you can get her out only 'default' and a 'default' endpoint.  Applications can play at all (and output record of any entry), but by default, they will use only 'by default' entry and exit.

  Outputs audio multiples are not supported by Windows Vista. It's normal. However, you can contact the manufacturer of the equipment for other possibilities.

  He may want to know:

  You can configure your Media Player to play a default device

  In Windows Vista, you can configure Windows Media Player to play an audio device specific.  Tools | Options | Devices | Speakers | Properties | Select the audio device you want to play.

• Connection made stereo headset on USB 2.0 for laptop with windows 7Laptop

  I want to convert Audio cassettes to MP3 music. on my laptop. For this I connect headphone jack stereo 3.5 mm cassette player to female USB Port 2.0 for my laptop with windows 7. How do connect me it? What type of cable/connector/adapter, which does not exist in India that I use? Thank you

  You can use the audio only in the PC port to connect the audio output of the tape recorder (which is not controlled by amplifier). There is no possibility to connect the device to the USB port and start ripping the tape.

  However, there are a couple of tape recorders available on the market that is able to record the audio cassette USB storage that can then be copied to PC. An example can be found here:

• Satellite Pro P300-145 - sound of frying with my headphones

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite Pro P300-145 and today I started noticing a noise of frying with my headphones. I tested my headphones in a different laptop and they sound good and if I play the same files with my speakers it sounds good too so I was wondering if you knew what could be the reason.

  I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi Andunemir,

  What operating system you are using? You use Windows or Linux?
  In addition, it would be interesting to know if this happens only with headphones/external speakers or portable speakers internal too. You can test this please?

  > I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.
  The temperature of the laptop is enough depending on the applications that you are running. High CPU and graphic card use causes a higher temperature.

  But it s also advised to clean the system at any time using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and the laptop is much cooler after that. I do it every 3 months because I use my laptop every day. If I do that, I followed these instructions:

• By using the Tecra M11 - 11J with an Express Port Replicator II

  Currently, I have the Tecra on a cooling rack, but I think to buy an Express Port Replicator II.

  The question is: the duplicator will dissipate heat from the laptop. It would be useful in this regard?

  I would be happy to comment.

  What about John

  Hi John

  I agree with Akuma. Port replicator doesn t have the vents inside and you can't wait until the laptop temperature will be reduced because of the port replicator.
  The reasons why the port replicator is are different and, in general, has nothing to do with the computer laptop cooling.

  It can handle up to 16 GB memory DDR3-1333 (2 x 8 GB modules).

  No way to add a touchscreen. I don't know how you changed Intel Radeon graphics card, unless you have installed a different motherboard. The original motherboard has two graphics chips, so if you install the right driver you can access the AMD Radeon HD M 7470.

  The processor could theoretically be upgraded to an i7, but these improvements are rarely economically justified because of the high cost of processors unique and time required for doing the upgrade. Somehow, I think less than 10% of the improvements that we are discussing on this Forum actually. You simpler and better (more efficient) upgrade is to install an SSD. You will think that you have an i7 and 16 GB of RAM.

• His works on laptop but the headphones don't

  Hello

  I spent the last few hours LURKING through forums to try to solve this problem, but I have not thought about it then it is my last chance before I lift my hands upwards!  I have a laptop hp Compaq nc6220 I bought a refurbed just a week ago (but don't think to test this before the purchase feature, doh!)  in any case, it runs Windows XP Professional.
  Sound works when I watch a video on YouTube or other.  But when I plug my headphones, the sound continues to come out the speakers for computer rather than the helmet itself.  I tried several sets of headphones and the problem persists.  I downloaded the latest SoundMAX driver and this does not solve the problem.
  I went on the Panel and select sounds and Audio Devices option.  After having clicked on the Audio tab, there is a section that explains its default player.  I have SoundMax Digital Audio selected in the menu drop-down (the only other choice is wireless Bluetooth, which I don't know).  When I click on the Advanced button in this section, there is an option to select your speaker configuration, and I have "Stereo headphones" selected in the list.
  I'M out of IDEAS: P in any case, if someone has a suggestion to throw out there, I'd be most grateful.  It is not the end of the world or anything either, but I stay in a hostel right now so I'm almost never alone and can really use the headphone option to do not disturb my classmates-hostel.  Thank you!

  Hello

  In Windows XP, if you plug in headphones then the default audio device should get replaced by the helmet and you will be able to hear the sound from headphones not computer speakers.

  Even after connecting the headset, if you receive the sound from the speaker to the computer, then it might be the problem with the headphone jack.

  I suggest you to check with hardware support for laptop computer for more information.

• Can I set up a surround sound 5.1 with the headphones?

  Can I set up a surround sound 5.1 with the headphones? I plugged in the headphones, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

  Great Question!

  The output on the laptop is 2.0, unless specified.

  Most of the 5.1 headphones do a virual surround sound experience unless they require multiple entries mini-jack, optical or cajolées.

  The only way to experience true 5.1 on a notebook computer is to have a 5.1 card internal (which is not included in the course HP laptop computers) or buy an external plug (USB or ExpressCard).
