  • Pavilion dv6 laptop Audio problem

    Product: Hp Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC

    Product number: QE068UA #ABA

    Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello, so here's my problem. This laptop is only three days old, and already I have a problem. So what is happening is that the audio transmission is having a problem. I have 95% use a headset and the audio works fine with headphones. BUT what happened earlier today that I just listened to a few songs and then I got a call from Skype, and just as I began to speak, the sound was messed up. The person's voice played through headphones, but my computer sound (the song) started playing through the computer and not the headset. Then, I tried to unplug my headphones and plug it back in, but then it didn't always work. The only way it worked was if I held the helmet and halfway into the socket. So, basically, I can't really talk to anyone on the computer without computer audio is turned on and messed up. Any help would be good. Thank you!

    Welcome to the forum.

    Try this and see if it helps.

    Right click on your sound on your taskbar icon and enter the Settings of Volume Option.

    Sound--> reading--> speakers and headphones-->--> advanced properties


    I think you need to use the "Exclusive Mode" setting on the Advanced tab to keep only one application (another) to capture the sound control.  I don't know which application would have priority (or which one you prefer under what circumstances)-I think this is where you will have control over what happens when, for example, you use a Skype headset session and start a game session which (I assume) would use the speakers on the laptop (or external speakers (, depending on your configuration.)  See the graphics down.

    See graphs of 'Communications' down

    Note that you can play with a variety of other sound settings (without making any damage) to increase the listening pleasure.  Just go slowly and check between the changes to make sure that you do not have too much too fast.

    Beware of the "improvements".

    For example: The Loudness equalization can make a song sound clean and strong, it could deafen and strangle with the next song and make it difficult to hear. It is the opposite of what we want to do.  So desperate, try - if it works, use it, otherwise shut it off.

    GRAPHICS CARD:

    Right click on the sound icon:

    The options resulting:


    "Exclusive mode" check or uncheck the box to control the behavior of this device!

    Communications:

    It is a setting in the Strait called "Communications" - If you use your laptop to make phone calls, you can adjust this setting as well as others.

    Right-click on the icon of your Sound --> click on "Volume Mixer"--> click on the little icon under the word "Applications".

     

    Good luck!

  • 23xi HP Pavilion laptop audio cutting external monitor

    I want to use my monitor HP Pavilion 23xi as an external monitor to my laptop (Sony Vaio, Windows 7).  The laptop has only a HDMI connection, so I used a HDMI cable to connect it.  The HP Monitor works fine, but when it is connected, it cuts all the audio outputs on the laptop.  There is no sound the internal on the portable speaker or the headphone connection.

    If the HDMI connection automatically resumes the audio output, probably it would take at least a headphone jack on the PC?  I can not change the type of connection, because the laptop has only HDMI to an external monitor.  Y at - it no configuration changes will correct this?

    Hello

    As you said, the HDMI sound can resume sound, disable audio HDMI can help. Pleae try:

    • Right-click the "speaker" icon
    • Select playback device
    • Click with the right button on HDMI sound and turn it off

    Kind regards.

  • My laptop Audio is NOT working

    Name and model number: Portable HP dv6t-A1U59AV

    I was listening music, paused for a second and he continued a little later and it played but no audio isn't out of my helmet. I have used my speakers instead and got the same result. Then, I tried different audio outputs such as iTunes and Youtube, which gives the same result, no sound.

    I integrated beats audio.

    I'm not cut.

    I downloaded IDT (by reccomendation from a different position) and no solution came.

    I checked Device Manager and it said everything was normal, I troubleshooted my sound card and no problems were discovered.

    I think the problem might be that the card itself sound broke and the computer does not recognize (I dropped my computer about 2 inches on a table hard while the music has been suspended)

    Help, please!

    My Beats Audio Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC has touches of Red transparent backlight letter/number. The paint on the keys is fade after 7 months of use and many of the keys are no longer recognizable.

    Is it possible to get 'standard' for these keyboards replacement keys? Or will I just this problem once again in 7 months after the warranty replacement of these worn keys.

    HP could have solved this problem with a possible recall?

    How to get warranty with HP service if I am able to replace the caps key myself?

  • Dell Latitude E5500-problems with the IDT audio driver

    Hi all!

    I use Windows Vista 32bits on E5500 and everything works fine with the big exception of the audio driver. I used the latest version for this laptop which is A15, no other versions are available on the downloads page. The pilot is very unstable and crashes all the time. Pressing the sound keys does not change the audio levels instantly as expected. There is a noticeable delay in the volume control after I pressed the button. A few 4-5 or more seconds after I press Volume upwards or downwards until the press is registered. A very weird situation and nothing helped so I deleted the audio driver of Dell. I use the default Windows driver now and so far everything is ok.

    Everyone has experienced a weird behavior like this on the same computer laptop? Do you know where I can find an old audio driver for E5500 so I can test again?

    As the system software Dell-is important on the audio system or not so. I installed it after a recommendation in the audio FAQ here on the forum. Thanks for all the tips!

    old audio driver for E5500

    Very good selection here

    http://downloads.Dell.com/published/pages/latitude-E5500.html

    All most recent drivers dated IDT must be removed from the hard disk or at least the drivers folder before installing an old date one.

    With the Intel chipset driver, was important for XP, not important for 7, but not sure about Vista.

  • Logitech C910, video, Using mic causes audio broken

    My configuration: latest version of Skype for Mac, MacBook Pro running Lion, webcam Logitech C910.

    My problem:

    1. The value of Skype to use the cam of Logitech microphone
    2. Start the group video call
    3. On my end, I hear incohérant choppy, delayed, audio. Participants can hear me very well, they can hear each other very well.
    4. When I switch back to the internal mic of the computer laptop, audio is fixed and I can hear everything normally.

    I've only been able to reproduce this problem when I choose to use the microphone into the Logitech cam. I checked that this problem does not occur when:

    1. I put Skype to use internal for Skype + mic
    2. I try a video chat with one person
    3. I try a group video chat in iChat

    I also tried to install the software came it with the cam, hoping a pilot might help. but this doesn't seem to help.

    Thank you.

    This itself seems to have resolved with the latest version of Skype 5.3...

  • Challenges of the audio input jack (seems not work)

    Hello

    I use an HP Envy 15-j030eb, running Windows 8.1 x 64.

    Recently, I need to use my laptop audio input jack to connect my speakers, but I don't get all the sounds. I tried to connect two different types of headphones, with no audio to come through. I don't remember really when I finally used, but I'm sure it worked at some point.

    Otherwise it is inserted into the Jack, I get his normal good through the internal speakers, connect a TV via HDMI also works very well.

    I tried most of the solutions I could find online (definition of default playback device, change the bass and treble levels, do a hard reset, reinstall the drivers...), but nothing helped. Start Notepad from a live USB Ubuntu USB also translates the same behavior; play music while my works of great internal speakers connection helmet muffles all. This leads me to believe that it is not a Windows/driver issue, but a bios/firmware/hardware one.

    Run HP (from usb boot) and the test of speaker adio also doesn't send audio signal to my helmet and gives a failure code: gll3kv-6nm782-mfgjxg-20ek03. I could not decypher this identifier.

    Any suggestions on how to proceed and get my audio jack working again please?

    Kind regards

    Hi @klmdb

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I saw your post about the problems with your audio jack. I looked in that identification code of the failure that you have posted and there is an audio hardware failure which could be a couple of different things, but from what you describe, it's the audio jack that has failed.  The audio jack is not a replaceable part, you will need to seek to replace the motherboard or card mother.

  • XPS 8700, out-of-box speaker 5.1 audio problems

    I had ongoing audio problems since the purchase of my XPS 8700 8.1 desktop system of 64-bit Windows on January 15 and set up with my speaker Altec Lansing 5.1 system existing. The strangest thing happens when I play audio from different sources.

    When I use YouTube programs and music of Windows, Dell MaxAudio Audio Pro software plays audio perfectly thanks to 5.1 speakers. But, when I listen to music via iTunes or try to watch a movie from a DVD factory in my factory installed DVD player, the audio plays through my two front speakers.

    In addition to the issue with my 5.1 speakers, I have constant audio noise/hiss through my speakers. But, it is stranger than most of the time when I move my mouse quickly, I can hear the movement of the mouse in my speakers. The 'mouse noise' is minimal, but you can certainly hear coming from the speakers.

    I spent the greater part of the past month trying to find a solution to these problems - especially the sound of hissing sound coming from my speakers and iTunes music only 2 front speakers and not my sub or rear speakers (sometimes audio will be same break in iTunes).

    I had no chance whatsoever to find a "fix for the problem of iTunes/5.1 speakers, so I'd appreciate any help on this. About whistling noise emitting speakers, here's what I what I met so far, but I have yet to try it (this solution came from Google):

    SOLUTION: Go to the Realtek site (www.realtek.com.tw) > click on downloads in main menu > click on High Definition Audio Codecs (software) > accept the advice > download 64-bit Vista, Windows7, Windows8, Windows8.1 driver only. Version R2.73. I clicked and downloaded the link US2: 64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_R273.exe (103MB). I then ran the installation program which required two reboots to install completely.

    ITS OWN PURE! The hiss is now gone when listening with my speakers. Moreover, the Dell Audio MAXX Audio Pro, which is delivered on the Dell XPS works always. I don't know what hidden feature, I could have lost, but I consider that it is resolved.

    Someone has already tried this solution but who has experienced similar problems than me? I hate to be "Jackin ' ' autour with new software download and edit the factory specifications on my brand new computer. But I want my computer to work properly with my 5.1 system speakers, which worked well with my previous Dell desktop computer which was in the process of Windows 7.

    One last question, can someone please clarify for me if the Dell Audio MaxAudio Pro software is a product of Realtek? I sent a support one or twice with the solution (Google) I listed above, but nothing but crickets from Realtek Realtek. Customer service poor, to date.

    I thank you in advance for any help and solutions/workaround solutions, you can suggest.

    It is their integrated (Realtek ALC3861 audio 7.1) product with an overlay software from Dell. So yes, you must use their site to get the latest audio driver. Our driver is very old, 20/11/13. I used the same audio driver of detail on my Alienware X 51. Works very well. I added instructions in the FAQ.
    * Go to the top of the Audio card to the desktop computer
    * Open Desktop Audio FAQ
    Open the Office PC Audio drivers
    * Read "Update Realtek HD Audio"
