    Also... I'm having a battery issue... I was wondering if I missed a previous agreement on this issue...

    When I start the system... it shows my battery as being 0% and fill... but when I eject battery and reinstall, it shows then the battery is @ full load, and the battery holds its charge!

    THANK YOU ALL! ANY help would be great!

  • No sound when the connected printer

    I have a Toshiba Satellite running Vista. There is no sound at all (if Youtube video or a CD) when my printer (Epxon Stylus CX6600) is connected to the USB port. I tried different ports, with the printer on and off - but as long as this cable is connected - no sound. If I unplug the cable, close and restart IE and then try the youtube video, the sound is excellent (even with Media player to listen to a CD of recovery). Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    I found the problem and it is fixed - I ran the Microsoft Fix tool and discovered that I had the wrong sound device as default.

    Thanks anyway.

  • No Notification sound when the connection/disconnection of USB device

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 on a separate partition on a 2011 MacBook Pro (installed via Boot Camp).

    This laptop has two USB ports on the left side.

    If I connect/disconnect a USB device to the port more back, I get the notification sound as usual.

    However, if I log out these same devices to the port further there is no notification even if the devices are recognized & seem to work fine.

    Can anyone tell how to enable notification of this port please?

    John,

    Thank you for your response.

    The sound scheme has already been set to "Windows default", but just for good measure, I changed it but it made no difference.

    As mentioned be notified when you use one of the ports USB, but not the other.

    I posted this in an Apple forum & other users of this machine & installation are reporting the issue even if it seems to be a generic hardware problem & not just something on my own system.

    See you soon.

  • Does not DETECT THE SOUND CARD / laptop INSPIRON 1501

    I have an INSPIRON 1501 laptop and have had problems with the sound for some time. When I watch movies, the sound is there. When I Skype, I can hear, but the other party can't hear what I'm saying. Skype can't detect sound card.

    What I've done so far:

    I went to control PANEL and then MANAGER of DEVICES, OTHER DEVICES. Here, I have only one BASIC DEVICE SYSTEM option with a yellow sign. I right click on properties, then under GENERAL clicked REINSTALL DRIVER, but Windows could not find driver software.

    I also tried option SOUND, VIDEO and GAME CONTROLLERS in the DEVICE MANAGER. There is only one HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DEVICE option and it is not marked.

    Advice I have to install find the sound card.

    Thanks for all your advice beforehand.

    Thanks again for the support.

  • Pavilion 27xw & Envy 15 laptop: how to keep sound when connected to the laptop

    Have a laptop 15.6-inch Envy running on Windows 10 and rose just a monitor 27 xw Pavilion, they are connected by a HDMI cable included with monitor

    If there is sound broadcast when I connect the HDMI cable it continues to broadcast through the speakers on the laptop, but if it stops then it don't re - start not to broadcast while connected.  If I disconnect the monitor then the sounds spread through the laptop.

    How to work around this problem?

    Jimmy, welcome to the forum.

    You must connect the monitor to the laptop and go to control panel / sound.  You must make sure that the speakers to the monitor are set by default.  If you do not use the monitor all the time, you may need to do this every time you connect it.

    Internal speakers work, but no sound when the headset is connected Mr. fix gives a clean and level flight controlpannel indicator report / sound show sounds present but no sound on 3.5 mm jack audio 6.0 vista Home Basic travel mate acer 2480 laptop.

    Ive seen to be a common problem and have tried everything short of putting my computer or the cabel in the freezer for this problem, although I had an old pair of computer speakers that the power of the headphone plug in my garage-30 and a jack 3.5 cold didn't help.

    Most recent driver realtek audio and Manager running audio acer, everything seems fine all levels on and not cut anything off
    Lists of control pannel/sound/speakerproperties

    some levels are muted
    Advance tab default settings
    quality of studio 24 bit 48000 Hz

    boxes of exclusive mode checked (when it is disabled, that no sound was heard)

    Information appears a jack was pluged into and when unplugged.

    the computer knows its their and it shows his work but ive tried several pairs of headphones, including the new ipod with the remote, I tried an old pair of speakers that have no other energy source that 3.5 mm cord all work witch on my i pod, I also tried pluging in a splitter first and also an adapter to use a guitar cord pluged amp in an another apapter back down to 3.5 mm a little stupid and redundant but I didn't lie when I said I TRIED EVERYTHING I could think maximum\ read forums\ many watch on youtube.

    computer repair guy told me that fault call manufacturing equipment but guaranteed was 2 weeks upwards.
     
    I do not think it is a matter of hardwear tho and am convinced that it can be resolved is so close to work, I'm sure there must be a setting or patch or codec sumthing that will correct the problem, but it's my first (LIRA) ask for help.

    With frequent this problem or other similar appear from what my research has shown that I don't know that it can be resolved, or millions of laptops with drivers realtek audio hd are all defective.

    My next try is an external usb sound card. I tried already but no stores in my area have them (Wal-Mart, the source, Staples), all had never heard what I was talking about. I saw on the web less than 5 dollars but have no confidence in the sites offering the devices. Has anyone bought from a trusted site.  could talk to the teak of microsoft but they wanted to charge me $ $50 so decided to save money to buy a card usb sound, if I can't solve the problem.

    Sorry for any ignorance or typos and long reading but I hope someone can help with this problem

    To press Fn and F2, you must have installed Dell QuickSet.
