Microsoft high definition audio and microphone

Hello

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 with Vista Home Premium, updated for SP1.

My problem is that everything I plug into the mic jack is not audible

through the speakers.

I read a lot of posts on the SigmaTel drivers that would enable

monitoring of entry via the registry settings.

However, my Device Manager shows only

"High definition audio device" by Microsoft.

The dell support site provides a SigmaTel driver for my model of laptop with the comment:

apps for:

STAC 92xx c-major hd audio

There is no concept on the question if I have a SigmaTel chipset in my system!

When I try to install the SigmaTel driver I get 'object not found device '.

When I try to update the current driver of in Device Manager by using the folder

When I extracted the files of SigmaTel looks like it would install, but finally

does not work:

"The name is already used as a device name or the device display.

(freely translated from German)

Any ideas? What is the driver SigmaTel all useable with my system?

Thank you

Nicolas

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I tried the sound of setting here is what I tried:

    I uninstalled IDT audio driver I went into Control Panel and uninstalled the IDT Audio driver.

    Then I restarted my computer and I reinstalled the drivers of HP's Windows 8.1.

    After restarting my computer again, I checked to see if everything was back to normal, but it is not yet sounded even.

    When I right click on the "speaker" icon and then choose playback devices here is what was posted:
    The top unit is called:
    Its digital display (AMD high definition Audio Device) not connected
    OK, this is Normal.

    The central device is called:
    Speaker / device by default HP (IDT High Definition Audio Codec)
    OK, this device is also Normal.

    The background feature is called:
    Communication by default communication device Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec)
    OK in Windows 8.1 this device has been disabled by default but in Windows 10 it is activated and listed as default communications device.

    So I thought that if I just disabled it my Turtle Beach P11 helmet would return to normal, but it didn't she sounded still, I even restarted my computer.

    OK, so I tried to set the Communications headset as device by default but when I right click and click on set as default device it wouldn't let me.

    I then disabled speaker / HP and tried to set it as default device it wouldn't let me.

    When I disabled speaker / HP Groove Music said he could not detect an Audio device in order to activate the speaker / HP and people with disabilities

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A temporary Solution:

    After you have solved the problem by reading through countless messages try every difficulty that none of them I went into Control Panel and he took a glance at the the Dolby Advanced Audio Control Panel now I never tested with this before so far but I was able to fix the Audio questions here is exactly what I did :

    When you use your built-in Laptop speakers or possibly other speakers:
    Right-click on start (the white Windows icon located to the left of the bottom of your screen)
    Click on Control Panel
    Click on hardware and sound
    Click Dolby Advanced Audio
    Click on listening experience
    Check Dolby Advanced Audio

    I've tested on the following:
    Play music (sounded great)
    Played a Youtube video (sounded great)
    Played a video that I saved on my PC (sounded great)
    Played a show or a movie on Netflix (sounded great)

    When you use your headset from Turtle Beach Z11 or possibly other headphones:
    Right-click on start (the white Windows icon located to the left of the bottom of your screen)
    Click on Control Panel
    Click on hardware and sound
    Click Dolby Advanced Audio
    Click on listening experience
    Uncheck Dolby Advanced Audio now, your headset should ring loud instead of sound like Mono and stereo and crappy.

    I've tested on the following:
    Play music (sounded great)
    Played a Youtube video (sounded great)
    Played a video that I saved on my PC (sounded great)
    Played a show or a movie on Netflix (sounded great)

    You need to keep the box checked when you use your built-in Laptop speakers, otherwise they will sound like Mono and crappy.

    So basically when you plug in your headphones uncheck the box.

    So basically when you disconnect your headset check box.

    If you have messed with the implementation in and want to return to the default value:
    Click Advanced settings
    Click on Reset

    I could not Downgrade from Windows 8.1 because it said that files deleted even if windows.old was still there, so I just did a Reset instead.

    Thanks to my temporary fix Audio problems are gone, but I hope that HP releases new drivers, so I can't use my temporary Solution.

    Also I hope HP or Microsoft releases new drivers for the Synaptics TouchPad so that people can save their settings.

    This has been corrected by James Yerkes on Microsoft Community:

    Open regedit.exe

    Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install

    Note it's the LOCAL MACHINE, not the CURRENT USER.

    Search for a key in the installation folder called DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade

    Double click and change the value to 0

    Now go back in the Panel of Synaptics, put all how you like and restart.

    in any case if someone has problems with Windows 10 Post here and I'll see if I can help you but I recommend resetting your PC in recovery Menu so that most of the problems will be solved then I would install all my drivers from the manufacturer.

    I am currently using window 8.1 1 driver from AMD and HP drivers.

  • How to install High Definition Audio Driver of package - KB835221

    I am not able to install High Definition Audio Driver package - KB835221 anyone know why I can't, or how to install this? I was removing a program from Windows XP Media Center and noticed that it was no longer installed.

    Hello

    This is a patch from Microsoft. This driver is designed to work with the versions of the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1). This release supports the high definition Audio and modem implementations that are known to Microsoft as of March 19, 2004.

    Hello @Shas_HP,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post on the Microphone and wanted to help you!

    First of all, try to use the HP Support Assistant to find updates for your Audio drivers.  I also recommend to use back to a previous generation option, in your system settings:

    HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

    Once you return to your original operating system, check to see if you encounter the same problem. If this isn't the case, then you can consider holding off on the update of Windows 10 for a few weeks, until what drivers can be updated.

    Please let me know if this information has been helpful by clicking the thumbs up below.

    I have a gateway x 86 Office 5310 s running Windows XP Home Edition with IE8.  I'm having a problem of audio-video synchronization when viewing movies from the Internet on sites like Hulu.com in mode full-screen.  Hulu uses Adobe Flash Player.  Hulu support suggested that I update my audio driver files.  The above is my original audio driver assumed provided with the machine.  I had update that driver Realtek High Definition Audio, version 5.10.0.5172, dated date 23/09/2005, by the past.  I don't know yet if the current is the correct update or not.  It does not work.

    Because the original is a former pilot, I had a lot of trouble finding a newer replacement on-site Realtek.com, Gateway.com site or on the Internet.  Offers many programs to update drivers online updates (for a price), but I'm not sure they are the right ones for my system or not.  I downloaded some possibllities on my desk and checked the Read Me files and found that they are not correct for my Bios and motherboard.  I heard talked to do not trust all update of pilot programs and certainly do not pay for them.

    Suggestions please.

    Hello, here is the whole of it.  I recently bought a card XFX ATi Radeon HD 4650 1 GB DDR2 video AGP8x.  I uninstalled my old graphics card driver and took out my old nvidia card.  I threw in the radeon and started my computer.  Now it starts windows and the bubble 'new hardware found' in the bar tasks appear, 1 saying he concluded a 'video something.' Then a 2nd bubble appears who says: "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio" Word for Word. As this bubble appears, my computer slows down as if the RAM has been withdrawn, and after about 30 seconds, it is a gel closely.  I can't install my drivers for the radeon and I have to turn off manually my computer is not responding.

    Now, I have tried

    • Install the drivers before I put in the graphics card
    • Research on the XFX site for possible solutions
    • Turn off the "found new hardware found" I don't not succsesfully.
    I also tried many other things, but none worked.  If anyone has a solution to this answer please problem.  All I want is my graphics card to work.  Thank you

    I've had my laptop for 2 or 3 years, and the sound was always very well. Yesterday morning my computer came suddenly with the sound with a red X icon. She was not dumb, and yet no sound came. The sound options show that no audio or recording devices are installed (for disabled AND disconnected devices). There is no 'of sound devices or video game"in Device Manager. Information system shows no information (empty) under its device. However, in Device Manager, under system devices, "High Definition Audio Controller" has a yellow caution icon and cannot start.
    I have not installed a new OS or anything recently.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 1545
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Service Pack 1 (6.1.7601 Build 7601)
    Pentium Dual-Core CPU
    64-bit operating system
    I tried:
    • Relocation and reactivation of "High Definition Audio Controller". I rebooted. No change.
    • Go to the Dell website, download audio drivers for my label service and installation. We decompress in the drivers folder and nothing happens. One will be unzip, try to take me by another plant for IDT Audio and then say 'the hardware found is not supported by this IDT' and is abandoned. I rebooted. No change.
    • Install drivers in safe mode. I rebooted. No change.
    • In administrative tools > Services, I found "Windows Audio". He had started and was on "auto". Six of its dependencies (3 parents, 3 children) had started and were to "automatic".
    • I looked at the system restore. There was a "critical update" this morning here. I restored to a point before update and restarted. No change.
    • Looked in the BIOS for an option on the sound, but could not find one. Restore the BIOS default and rebooted. No change.
    • Ran Microsoft Fix It I rebooted. No change.
    • By clicking on the audio task bar icon runs the diagnostic window thing. It detects a problem with the description: "material changes may not have been detected.
    • Put on the headphones. Nothing changes.
    I'll probably have to do a fresh install, am I not?
    I would be very grateful if you could help, thanks.

    Right, I fixed it myself.

    So I uninstalled "High Definition Audio Controller".
    But this time, instead of just turning it back on and let it install it himself, I clicked on "Analysis of the hardware changes" (under the Action). He finds that a new device called PCI something under other devices.

    Then I open up Windows Update and click on search for new updates (it also analyzes the drivers) and I think it just automatically reinstall "controller Audio high definition" and then there was no problem of yellow warning sign thing.

    If it does not, simply play in Device Manager with looking for changes on the hardware and the update of bollocks.

    If you're still stuck, try "Add inherited harware" (this will install an OLD device), click Advanced, click on "sound devices" and video games, wait a while, find a suitable device and continue the process...
