HP ENVY 15: Problem with audio after the Windows 8.1 update

Hi, I'm on HP ENVY 15 notebook PC and I updated my windows 8 to 8.1. Until a few days back, everything was fine. However, now, I have no audio through speakers or head phones. Can someone help me please to solve this. Thank you.

Product number: E4N80EA #ABZ

Hello

Try the following.

Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe

One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

When you are finished, download and reinstall the Chipset driver from the link below.

http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp63001-63500/sp63408.exe

Once the reinstallation is complete, shut down the laptop by pressing the SHIFT key when you click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.  Then disconnect the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

Kind regards

  • problems with wireless after the motherboard, cpu and ram upgrade adapters

    As the title says, I have recently updated my card mother, cpu and ram (increased from Asrock extreme6 z77/i7 3770 k/Kingston 8 gb hyperx for EVGA ftw/i5 z97 4670 k/g. Skill ripjaw x 16 gb). I always use the same installation of Windows 7 64 via the same SSD. After I was installing new equipment, I used the disc that comes with the motherboard and installed all the drivers that were available (twice, just to be safe). All the features of the OS I had before seem to be there except to exit Device Manager to correctly install the drivers for my wireless (Linksys AE1000 and TP Link N900) adapters. I downloaded the current driver for the Linksys Web site and I have the disc for the TP-Link and I tried several times to install, but keep the same message ' Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it. Device Manager recognizes the device and it is not any question of State symbol (IE yellow triangle, etc.) that is displayed in conjunction with an adapter. I tried disable/re-enabling and uninstall/re-installing times and keep having the same problem. I tried to search in several forums of people with similar problems, but none of the resolutions seem to work or are suitable for my situation. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    When you upgrade your motherboard, cpu and ram, drivers for particular devices may not be related to other drivers. That's why I suggest you to install all the drivers for the chipset from the manufacturers website and see if that helps.

  • problems with rv042g after the software upgrade

    After the software upgrade it reboot the router on every 45 seconds

    I tried this tool from Cisco RV0xxV3_FirmwareRescueUtility_v4.0.0.7 Web site without success, the problem is there, is one way that you can get the router up and running again?

    Can I run a TFTP server and download new software, or I ther a FirmwareRescueUtility for rv042g?

    Mogens Demmark

    The first firmware comes with RV042G is 4.2.0.03, so the firmware utility rescue v4.0.0.7 would not work.

    Given that your will to power cycle automatically RV042G every 45 seconds, and the problem has not disappeared after that you did a reset to factory default, the unit needs a new firmware downloaded. Please, try the following steps.

    1. disconnect the power cable to the unit.

    2. hold the reset (using a paperclip) button, while plugging in the power cable.

    3 look at the DIAG LEDS.

    4. release the reset button when you see the DIAG led are flashing.

    5. a flashing DIAG indicates that the unit runs in start mode, and a server tftp on the device is waiting for a picture of fresh firmware to the address 192.168.1.1.

    6. set up your PC with an IP address in the subnet 192.168.1.x, e.g. 192.168.1.100 and specify as default gateway 192.168.1.1.

    7. try to ping the unit with 192.168.1.1, and you should see a response from the unit.

    8. run a program client tftp (with a command line) and push an image good firmware, for example

    TFTP-I 192.168.1.1

    If the procedure above does not resolve the problem, contact the support center for RMA.

  • Problems with masks after the sequence first SpeedGrade back (CC)

    Hello

    I'm color ranking a clip in SpeedGrade CC using the new direct link function. For calibration of the colors I used masks and also the different layers. Once I'm done, I sent my sequence back to first Pro CC.

    I see, first shows me exactly the color correction, I did in SpeedGrade, except for one thing:
    The places where I used the masks in SpeedGrade to illuminate their for example a little until now are filled with lines pixeled...
    I thought it's just a problem with the preview, so I exported it. Slept pixeled lines.

    Once again: in SpeedGrade is all fine, but when I send the return sequence to the first there are those pixels.

    It's really irritating because one day before it worked fine with no problems and I was virtually the same as now.

    Please help me if you can! Thank you!

    Ok.

  • Satellite P100 - problem with audio driver on Windows 7 RC

    Hi all

    I have an Australian original Satellite P100 P/N PSPA6A-02N021 (T7200 2 GHz, 2 GB DDR-667, nVidia 7900GTX, 1680 x 1050 display) on which I just installed the latest Windows 7 RC (Build 7100 uploaded on 6 May). After doing a clean install on a new brand Western Digital 500 GB drive, I've had trouble with no output its (error code 10) default driver Microsoft HD audo.

    Because it is a new installation on a disk HARD costs there is no internet connection to research the latest updates during installation. After completing the installation, the search for an updated driver or windows update cannot locate a better driver.

    I updated the BIOS to Phoenix Technologies V4.70 (drawn from the Australian Toshiba site).

    I checked the audio driver which worked perfectly under Vista Business 32 running on this same laptop, and it was Conexant HD audio driver v3.18.051 (dated 04/12/2006). I got this driver on the net and installed under Win7 RC. This driver installed and working, but now I only sound from the left speaker which is very (too) low level.

    What I want to know is, someone at - it else experienced this and how did you solve this problem, or that you have the same or similar Toshiba laptop and the sound works OK or is there another way to do it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    I m asking you want to use an OS that isn't out yet and it s only a Release Candidate...

    Have you checked the sound settings on your laptop? Maybe the balance is only on the left speaker.

    To be honest, I think you should wait until Windows 7 will be available and you will find more recent drivers for it, they are compatible with Windows 7.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P100-487: problem with audio drivers for Windows XP Home 3.11.0.51 - entered

    Hello

    I have problem with this audio drivers 3.11.0.51. The problem is that the output works perfectly but there is no entry.

    When can I expect from the good work on Toshiba support drivers?

    My way to have entry and exit works well is: first install 3.11.0.51 drivers from Toshiba site to install Support Intel 3.14.0.50 and do not restart after the installation. It's hard because every time when I restart the PC I have to for this making begin.

    Anyone have the same problem and found another job drivers?

    Thank you

    HI Supportneeded,

    You gave me the trick with the driver to resolve the problem in the next restart.
    And I replied to your thread Thursday evening at 20:30. Ask you Toshiba phone when we can expect new drivers. (I have a Satego P100-10F) I added a complaint of litte that Toshiba should also support a 'old' OS like XP. And after that at 21:00 the detachment was completely absent.

    Anyway, I tested some drivers of other manufacturers and other Chipsetdrivers, still the same problem.
    the sound with this material does not work on XP due to a rather bad.

    Of course, toshiba brings out a new driver that will feature at the end of February, but now it is March and I see nothing. (stop: a new driver for Windows Vista is online since yesterday)
    I had it installed on xp and the sound is completely down. Whether in - or output.

    you already called toshiba support when they expect our problems?

    Greetings

  • problems with sound after installing windows 7

    My sound/audio does not work on my HP Pavilion dv2023tu notebook after a clean installation of windows XP.

    The convenience store said there is a problem with the driver, but I can't find a new driver through windows update, and HP does not either for my model. The device installed on my laptop is called high definition Audio Device. Can anyone help, if not, where can I download the drivers from. It is better to buy driver update software to help locate the right driver?

    Hello

    A lot of Vista for Windows 7 drivers, so try the following.

    Download the Audio driver from the link below and save it to your desktop.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp34001-34500/sp34387.exe

    Once the download is complete, right-click on the Setup program and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  If the driver installs successfully, restart the computer and check your audio files.

    I was having the same problem and read a solution for this problem here: no internet after update of 2016-001

    If you have ESET cybersecurity or Pro is installed, uninstall and reinstall. Make sure that you have the newest version dmg before you start. The instructions in this thread, that I linked will not uninstall ESET. Uninstall using the uninstall tool. Shut down your computer. Restart and reinstall using the installation tool. It fixed for me. I had 2 days of the internet unusable for half of the sites I tried to visit. Even this site took 5 minutes to load. Either slow or no load on Safari and FF. Everything goes well today, although I've submitted a ticket with the people of Eset, they are working on a fix.

  • Problems with images after the subclips

    Hey there

    Today I woke up to see all subelements, I made my most recent project. Just today, footage looked more pixelated and blurry.

    What might of happened? When I stop the image the quality is exactly as it was before. But when played his more pixelated.

    Some of the images was shot at a lower resolution, but when I put the size of the screen to the appropriate resolution quality always looks bad.

    Would this have something to do with the manufacture of the subitems? Even go back and see the clips that came the subclips: the film is even more 'pixely '.

    Any help appreciated

    @

    Hi pavalanche11,

    Sorry for the problem. If it is fixed?

    Please consider these points for this problem:

    1. it looks in any case related to subitems.

    2 as you mentioned after a break the clips, they look very good, but not the same case playing; It could be linked to the resolution Pause and play in the monitor Panel.

    You can get these settings, either by clicking the exit button in the lower right of the monitor Panel or by right clicking on the items in the monitor Panel.

    3. you also said that you pulled these clips at a lower resolution. By changing the values in the resolution of reading as suggested above, they may work properly.

    Here is the text of pdf help Prelude:

    Some formats are difficult to display in full motion by reason of their high compression or broadband playback. A lower resolution playback faster but at the expense of the quality of the image. This compromise is particularly visible when you view the other H.264 and AVCHD-based codec of the media. Less than full resolution these formats have turned off error correction, and artifacts are common during playback. These artifacts, however, do not appear in the exported media.

    Use separate reading and resolutions of break to better control the monitoring experience. With images high resolution, resolution of the reading to a lower value (for example, 1/4) for smooth playback and the resolution of the break in full. These settings allow you to check the quality of the details of development or the edge when you stop playing. Cleaning put the monitor resolution of reading, stop no resolution.

    I hope it helps. Customer feedback is important to us. Continue to write in the case of any confusion.

    Thank you

  • The problem with SQL after the migration of the database to another machine

    Having a SQL strange problem trying to extract a database being moved from one machine to the other.  Both machines are running SQL 2008 32-bit and are both Windows 2008 servers.  When I try to backup the database using the SQL tools and restore the. BAK file on the new SQL Server, I get the following error:

    Restore failed for server 'servername' (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
    Additional information:
    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlError: RESTORE detected an error on the page (44:2097184) in database 'RestoreDBName' read from the backup set.

    Similarly, when I am trying to copy the. MDF and. LDF files to the new server and tie them, I get the following error:

    Attach the database failed for the server 'servername '.
    Additional information:
    An exception occurred during the execution of a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
    A system assertion failed.  An assertion failure is usually caused by a corruption of data or software bug.  To check the database, consider running DBCC CHECKDB.  If you have agreed to send images to Microsoft during installation, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft.  An update can be an available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or a QFE from Technical Support.
    Could not open new database 'NewDatabaseName' create a DATABASE is dropped.

    Everything I've read, these errors usually indicate some sort of database corruption.  However when I run DBCC CHECKDB on the database on the source server, it is up to perfectly don't own... None detected corruption.  In fact, this server hosts 8 different databases.  Departure from all the correct DB on the source server, none of them will restore however to a new server using one of the methods above.  I'm having a hard time to believe that each of them could be corrupted when they show absolutely no indication of a problem.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Try to make the backup and restore via SQLCMD (or via a query in SQL Server MS window).

    The backup will be the following (obviously, change "MaBase" and "D:\BACKUPS" to some database and the location you wish to save - just using for example):

    BACKUP DATABASE MyDatabase

    TO DISK = 'D:\BACKUPS\MyDatabase.bak. '

    WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT,.

    NAME = 'Database MyDatabase - Full Backup',

    NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, SKIP

    Copy your backup to the other server and file make:

    RESTORE the DATABASE to MyDatabase

    FROM DISK = 'E:\Backups\MyDatabase.bak' WITH FILE = 1,

    GO to "MyDatabase_Data" to "E:\SQLDATA\MyDatabase_Data.mdf,"

    GO to "MyDatabase_Log" to "E:\SQLLOG\MyDatabase_Data.ldf,"

    NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10 REPLACE

    Again, change your names and locations in function.

    If this does not work, try to restore a database by third-party tools. You can find them in Google. If you don't want to spend the time to research, you can try a tool SQL Server Recovery Toolbox. All the details about this program on the link. http://www.oemailrecovery.com/sql_repair.html
