  • My computer has just been deleted/cleaned due to virus, when I press on what anyone, my computer makes click sound

    When I press on what anyone, my computer makes click sound... How can I stop it

    Original title: click sound

    Locate the speaker icon in the system tray. Mouse right click and set the volume to zero or select mute. Or the other of these actions will remove the clicks but also all other sounds. This includes audio media player and others.

    -OR-

    Navigate to Control Panel All Items Sound. Click the sounds tab choose model of sounds. (Usually set to default Windows.)

    See the list in the program events window. Set if they are boring to something else or climbs to (none). Out OK.

  • DVD rom keep making noise

    Two weeks ago, I bought a HP 2235tx g6. From the beginning, I just think it's normal that dvd rom keep making noise every 5-10 minutes (eventhough its empty). But now, I think that it is not normal. Is there a solution for this problem?

    Budi_hi,

    Your system does not have health monitor. He has Assistant support that does the same thing, but it mainly installs just the updates.

    Turn off the computer.
    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    You should also try updating windows.

    Here is a link that will guide you through the steps.

    It may be a hardware problem with the drive because it's happened since you've got the computer.

    You will have to perhaps call HP and see what options it must repair or replace the disk.

    Here is a link to a phone number to call HP.

    I would like to know how everything goes

    Nice day.

  • During playback of a DVD on the computer I get good picture & sound of desktop speakers, trying to watch DVDs on adjacent TV, I get good picture but sound no., why?

    Can someone please help
    When playing a DVD on the computer, I get good Sound & picture on ajoining tv, I get a good quality image but no sound
    Concerning
    Darryl

    Sorry for this smithassoc

    Try this:
    Click Start, go to control panel and click on switch to Classic view at the top left if necessary, and then click sounds and Audio devices. You will then be presented with the options sound and Audio from your computer, click the Audio tab and select HD Audio (this can be named differently depending on the type of video card you are using) as default device and click ok.
    I guess maybe I should have asked, what video card are you using? As long as your video card supports audio HDMI then change the default audio device should solve the problem. If the video card is not taken support HDMI audio, then you need to connect the sound card to TV via one of the audio, the sound card options.
