8 casual Windows no noise problems. The camera is used by another application.
Hello
I had sound problems with the speakers on an HP Ultrabook running Windows 8. Sometimes the laptop speakers stop working. When this happens, I go to control panel > sound, speakers (one set to select), select Configuration and Test. After selecting the Test, I get the message device in use. The camera is used by another application. Please close all units are audio playback on this device, and then try again. I went to the properties for the speakers, the Advanced tab and unchecked option "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device." I also used the term sndvol to try to determine the application, but it only shows the device: speakers / HP and Applications: System sounds.The only way I could get the speakers to work is to restart or turn off and turn on the pilot for the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. Does anyone know how to determine the application causing the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

On the forum of the community of HP HP technician found that uninstalling Microsoft update KB2962407 should solve the problem. This update is a patch that says "shortened battery life when an inactive audio device is not turned off on a computer running Windows. I installed this update on June 19. I have no updates installed July, so uninstall updates July cannot solve the problem.

How can I disable the sound when an error message appears?
There is an anoying sound when an error message appears in FF. I looked in preferences, but it doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off.

Parameters can change a few years under Ubuntu, but this gives an idea where to look.
Firefox itself has no such sound notifications.

3. If you have installed an application called 'Own memory' or any other third party software that is supposed to 'clean' or 'purge' memory automatically, remove it according to the instructions of the developer and restart. You should do this even if the software is not causing the problem, because it is useless.
4. other third party which has been reported to interfere with an audio software includes the "Boom" and "Samsung Kies". If necessary, uninstall instructions of the developer (not not by dragging something in the trash.)
5. If a device AirPlay is selected for the audio release of iTunes (or other applications via third party software such as "Wing"), deselect it.
6. launch the application 'Setting up Audio and MIDI' by entering the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search and by selecting it in the results (it should be at the top). Select output integrated in the list on the left. If the mute boxes are checked, then.
7. If a red light is visible in the port of audio when its must play, the internal switch is stuck in the position of the digital display. You may be able to release it by inserting and removing of a mini stereo plug of adequate size. If this is not the case, the machine needs to be repaired. Insert any kind of tool in the port can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty.
If there is no red light, the switch can always be locked in the position of the helmet. Try to clear the same way.
8 disconnect all devices wired except the keyboard and mouse, as appropriate. If more than one display is connected, unplug all the extra zeros. Restart and test.
