  • micro latecy with the laptop hp and win 7

    I just bought a new computer hp laptop g6x I wanted to use it temporarily to record music while I rebuilt my pc studio. the laptop came with win 7 Home premium and the same problem of latency mic that everyone knows. ive tried drivers that I tried to change the binaries of reg, that I even tried to run win xp as a virtual device by vm ware, the problem is win 7 still had control of the sound card. None of the fixes in the forums have worked. I guess that I have a card his rare idt. If I can't find the fix here I was about to set up a dual boot with win xp option, I would really prefer not to make or take my new what I thought was a bad * back of laptop. I saw a few people pass this headache that I hope someone can help. Thank you

    Often, the problem is NO W7 but rather the fact that the drivers are not optimized for use in a DAW.

    If you use the edge of her then Yes, you can you expect latency - sound for games or play music. What is the round-trip latency?
    I've NEVER had latency by using a Presonus FS26/26 issues, and the drivers are good. You have poor quality drivers and independently to obtain an audio device outboard, it is not much, you can do.
    See you soon,.

  • HP laptop purchased with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7 - laptop damaged

    Hello

    I bought a laptop HP with Win Vista later upgraded to Windows 7. Now, the laptop is damaged for the 2nd time. I would go for a locally assembled desktop computer with Intel, last configuration chipset.

    Can I use Win Vista / Win 7 license key on my desktop? What installer I use (Win Vista or Win 7)? and how do I get the installer?

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    PAL

    Hello

    You cannot transfer the license of Vista.

    If Windows 7 Upgrade was not part of this upgrade offering free back then, you can transfer, but you need an operating system to be installed to upgrade.

    Read this information and you will understand what I mean:

    If the computer/laptop comes with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.) or is licensed to OEM System Builders, that the product key that came with the computer/laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) and the license OEM System Builders are related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when machine who dies.

    Only retail Operating System license that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

    See you soon.

    I kept his June 2014 with all updates 8 victory and the drivers and updates of 2000 HP notebook pc. I ran a compatibility check and HP said they have not tested my model to win 8.1 compatibility and I don't think that they won't (whether it is an older model 1-2 years).

    The one with the same or similar model upgrade to 8.1? Doesn't it work?

    Hi mazemastress,

    I hope you had a great weekend,

    I'm sorry that you are experiencing a difficulty.  You download your Windows 8.1 update, you will get a prompt to restart your laptop to do the installation.  At this moment in time allows you to uninstall the wireless driver.

    Restart your computer to complete the installation, and then reinstall the wireless driver.

  • Market problem laptop Acer problem

    Hi all

    I wonder if anyone has met, or heard of this problem.

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire 5745 w / 640GB HDD and 8 GB of memory running with Win 7 Home. I have about 3 years.

    A year or 2 there, he began to develop a market problem. I noticed that most of the cooler mornings (tendency to heat my house more than necessary). Sometimes, it makes the power of Win 7 on screen (Windows 7 and swirling colors, creating a window) and stop somewhere along the way. Other times it cannot even do it in front of the Acer splash screen. Sometimes it will go to full boot (Windows desktop) only to hang. I might have to restart the machine more than a few times to market. However, once I turned it completely, I can turn it off and restart without any problem.

    I reinstall the HARD drive and thought it helped, but only for a bit. The problem comes back. Battery seems to be in good shape.

    One thing I noticed this morning, is that if I unplug the PS, the computer started fine. I still need to do some additional tests to confirm or deny this... but it was a discovery of new and interesting.

    I read in some places that the PS/charger can be a source of such problems.

    Any idea or feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you and see you soon...

    Hi stephr1

    Yes, it sounds as if the charger is at fault. If she starts & runs fine on battery - it's the only thing she could be!

    Buy a replacement charger - one who gives the same output/input as the existing one, then this should solve your problems!

    How to activate Audio devices hidden in Vista and Windows 7
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/143447-audio-device-enable-hidden-devices.html

    Connect one microphone, music player or other audio device to your computer (you want to be sure
    the mic input is enabled)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/connect-a-microphone-music-player-or-other-audio-device-to-your-computer

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pilots may also need to be updated:

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek high definition
    Audio (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the

    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check

  • Dell Inspiron 15 5559 and Cortana & microphone problem

    I read over and over again, it was the Inspiron 15 5559 microphone works, but will not work if you try to use Cortana. I returned two of these units and all had this problem. Now, I found that if I back the Realtek Audio driver, the microphone works according to Cortana. But the question becomes as the equalizer cancelled also, making the speakers almost unhearable. Can we get someone to be updated the Realtek drivers to work properly with Windows 10 and Cortana? It's been months and months and still there is no update driver to resolve this issue.

    beamermt79
    If you know the RealTek chipset on your laptop, its possible you can go to the Web to RealTek website and download a driver generic windows 10.

    Hello. The chip in the Inspiron 15 5559 is Realtek ALC3234, but all we need to know in order to get a driver from Realtek, is either an AC97 (before 2006) chip or a HD chip. Here is the path

    1. go to the Realtek download selection page. www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads
    2. on the page, click on 'High Definition Audio Codecs.
    3. check "I accept", then "next".
    4. (optional) in the column named "Description" find the file named README and download it. Who has the instructions for the installation or update.
    5. in the column named "Description" select your operating system and if it is 32-bit or 64-bit of 2 choices in the list.
    6. in the column named "Download", click one of the server names to download the driver.

  • HP Deskjet 3070 (All-in-one/Wireless) install problem Win 7 64

    Hello world

    I wonder if others have had similar problems or ideas on the underside, surely I can't be the only one to use this installation/suffering with this problem.

    Printers: HP Deskjet 3070 All in One (USB/Wifi)

    Operating systems: Windows 7 64-bit (installed absolutely fine on Win 7 32 bit laptop computer connected via wifi).

    Setup: - a Homehub BT, providing WiFi for laptop (Win7 32 bit), a desktop computer (WinXP SP3), the printer has an IP address, which is visible on the home network map - it has a MAC address also. My PC: connected by Ethernet to the homehub which is currently running wifi for all of the foregoing.

    Drivers using downloaded: -.

    + Computer laptop Win 7 32 bits connected via WiFi to the Homehub - installed fine, found printer - this is the stage where the printer receives a configuration intial IP address / completed.

    + WinXP SP3 connected through WiFi to Homhub - as above, correct, opportunity driver found the printer (which, at this time already, there).

    If the printer exists within the network, other computers can see / use it.

    ++ My PC: Win 7 64 bit connected by ETHERNET to Homehub (she does not and will not have a wireless option).

    Downloaded the drivers to install HP. (later tried "Run as Administrator"), select the software components (i.e. Remove feedback/coupons etc), installs OK applications, next step is the configuration of the printer. Add a new printer. "Check network" window appears with the message "Checking network environment" bar and the State. The status bar springs upward but stops dead at the filled Stadium. No possibility to choose whatever it, pressing Cancel has no effect. End of task here generates an error of 'work '. 'devicesetup.exe' stopped The installer never ends, applications are installed, but at no time, it shows the printer/selection.

    I tried many things: complete uninstall "engines", which in this case seem to be the only applications, ensure that all non-essential startup items are disabled, make sure that the firewall is DISABLED (just to be sure), ensure that the anti-virus is disabled there is, in fact, no other printer installed (this computer never had a printer attached to it) make sure file sharing and printing are powered, ensure that there is no TCP/IP/ports printers mapped etc... Still the same error, old or new drivers, always the same - installation does not complete.

    All the doctor diagnostic tools/printing tell me I have to install the driver software (I agree) but direct me to the HP site to download the ones I already have.

    I can't enter the Server Web integrated (the PC where I can't install the drivers, or one of the 2 PC's who have installed correctly). One of them if I click on networking or wireless or advanced it warns a HTTPS connection and then fails with "internal server error".

    My questions to someone kind enough to read this wall of text: -.

    + Anyone has any ideas please? I would prefer not to return the printer as defective because it seems to be a good all-rounder and it works for 2 other PCs in the House, its just mine which does not connect! Sad...

    I'll try the USB installation and then removing the USB-> wireless to see if that can help. I had previously seen articles where people offer to buy a router to 3rd party like that is basically a wifi pass through broadcaster. It is not for me thanks

    Thank you all for reading at least, it's now corrected with slightly reduced functionality.

    Install the USB printer, then DO NOT convert into wireless via HP drivers/installation.

    Change the USB to a TCP/IP port port newly created under the control panel of the printer (windows 7), enter the IP manually to the printer - you want an IP address that will change not in order to make this work - forcing the Home Hub to never provide that the same IP unique to this particular device was the easiest way for me. This connected but showed as offline printer constantly, others may have different experiences.

    To fix that (for me): -.

    Installing the printer in Control Panel Goto, force reinstall drivers HP ("via the drive"). Make sure that all the old files are overwritten. Turn the printer and then turn on (power button - twice if in mode "standby" to disable). Wait until the wireless light will stop flashing and become solid blue. Check in Control Panel if the status is online, if so you are good to go

    As a result of this sabotage, you lose the feature advanced scan for PC etc etc, but the real impression seems to be absolutely perfect. The printer is always available to everyone on the network, etc.

    Good luck to all.

  • 2542 DeskJet printer to my laptop connection problems

    I recently bought a printer HP DeskJet 2542, who will replace my broken.

    All is well on the installation until where I am trying to connect my printer to my laptop, which has been frustratenly without success.

    I tried both wireless via the network and wired via a USB connection, but none work.

    After further investigation, I find that the software driver 2540 series for the connection between the PC and the printer is not yet installed, despite several attempts.

    I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the entire printer software, but even when it says that the installation is complete, it is still unable to connect the printer to my computer.

    In addition... I recently discovered that my connection to a portable printer is going through "WSD Print Device" of windows, that was invites me via Windows Update for a software update... but whenever I run it, it fails due to an error in "300073EB".

    My laptop is a Dell Inspiron N5040 Windows 7-64 bit. Only the changes that I did is to double the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB by adding an additional memory chip.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated before that I simply returns the printer to the back.

    Well... I'm happy to announce that I finally got my printer is installed properly, and that it works correctly.

    It turns out that the problem was a registry key corrupted in the records of the registry where are stored the drivers for my printer was blocking the installation. I had to delete all the registry keys in the folder where they were stored, and then rename the folder in my folder of spool where the concerned driver files were stored "disable."

    For those who are interested: here are the relevant steps I took:

    (1) Obvously, back up your registry database first just in case where.

    (2) temporarily disable the spooler to print through the Services tool in administrative tools (click the button 'Stop' after right click on the list of the print spooler, and then click on 'Properties').

    (3) to open the Registry Editor (by typing 'regedit' on your search to start bar) and then right click on "regedit.exe" to log on as an administrator.

    (4) using the left side nested directory of the folder, scroll to that folder in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3

    (For machines Win 7 32 bit, replace "Windows x 64" with "Windows NT x 86").

    Find the subfolder under the location of the driver corrupted (in my case, "HP Deskjet 2540 series") and right click and delete it. (Note: you could also do the same to all the other driver files listed there, but you'd still have to reinstall services once you restart the system.) That's why you need this backup.)

    (5) then, get out of the Publisher of the registry, and using Windows Explorer: find this folder in your root (C:\) directory:

    C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    (This assumes that you are using Win 7-64 bit, 32 bit, replace "x 64" by "W32X86".)

    Rename the folder marked as '3' to '3.old '.

    (6) now go back and restart the print spooler by using the same procedure as 1), except by clicking the button 'start '. (If your print spooler is set to 'Automatic', however, you may ignore this process, since the reboot will automatically restart.)

    (7) Finally, reboot and reinstall your software print either by using the CD or directly on the site of HP.

    It may be simply that a previous installation of a previous printer corrupt keys enough that he was blocking the installation.

    Justice and resolution can grind slowly, but with a little investigation, it ultimately grinds. Thanks for your help... and you can consider this to be "SOLVED".
