Sound effects for Windows does not not after installing Skype

Windows Messenger has informed me that it will soon no longer running, and that I had to switch to Skype.  I previously did not have Skype on my computer, so I followed the instructions for the installation of messenger-hotmail-Skype.  I had no problems with the Setup, and Skype works fine.  But now my computer sounds (as windows starts, shut down, etc.) do not work.  I went to the control panel and tried to switch to a different style to reset, tried test the individual sounds, but none of them work.  The option to test the sound of each effect works, I can click on the button, but no sound.

Thank you

  • AirPlay - aTV video, sound effects for AExpress: does not work with large files

    Hello!

    My setup

    • Internett--> modem (Cisco?) --> a/c Airport Extreme (latest high version)
    • iMac, iPad, 2 x iPhones. iMac installed Beamer.
    • Bedroom: AppleTV 3rd GEN rev A - hdmi--> LG TV (old). AirPlay ON, 'Apple TV room '. Connected to the local network of 5 GHz.
    • Bedroom: AirportExpress 1st GEN 802.11 a/b/g N-Draft (last type of those that go right into the socket) with AirPlay - stereo--> stereo BOSE. AirPlay ON, 'room '. Connected to the local network of 5 GHz I also tried to connect 2.4 GHz network, no significant variation...
    • Living room: AppleTV 4th Gen. - hdmi--> LG TV (new). AirPlay ON, "iTV."

    Problem (abridged version)

    Most of the time - but not every time - when I stream video + audio iMac to aTV and choose to listen to the audio portion of the aTV to a separate AExpress (which is connected to a better BOSE audio system), the movie will not play. Streaming both audio and video - and only - the aTV works perfectly, but then I have bad sound, since I use the TV's internal speakers. What is reasons for it? Tips to fix it?

    Problem (full version)

    Every time when I stream video and audio from large multimedia files (about 3-4 GB .mkv) of the iMac (Beamer) on the ATV to the room, I didn't encounter any problem. Buffering is fast (2-4) and there is no delay or other negative experience. Unfortunately, as with all flat TVs, the sound of the TV is poor. Since I have a BOSE sound system, placed around this TV, I like to use it for audio. As I do this is - after the streaming media file (Beamer) iMac to the bedroom aTV - pressing the Center "Select" button during 1 sec on the remote to display the "audio" preferences and select money "Chamber" (AExpress related to the BOSE sound system). In this way, I think that audio + video is streamed to the iMac on the ATV in the bedroom, and the sound is then broadcast the ATV to the AExpress. This is where the problem occurs. Sometimes it works very well, as today in the morning. No lag and everything works fine. But most of the time, after changing the preference "audio" in the sound stream for the BOSE, the beginning of the play symbol buffering becomes the symbol of the break and nothing happens. I hit play again and the symbol of the game / buffering symbol lights up for a few seconds, and then again to pause. She never starts.

    The problem usually occurs with heavy multimedia files / large size 1080 p and 3-4 GB, not with the simplest 720 p files weighing about 1 to 2 GB. This makes me think it's a matter of WiFi capability. But if my WiFi network should not be able to manage that? I think that the apple TV in the bedroom and the AExpress uses the N standard, so it is the limiting factor. But if this interface should not be able to handle the traffic? Is it true that do what I do - separate the video and audio - use twice the network traffic?

    I also want to mention that everything works perfectly at certain times, like this morning. Last night (12 h) it wouldn't work at all... Perhaps there are more traffic yesterday (Saturday) evening.

    Questions (summarizes all Qs in text and some new)

    1. My network be able to handle the traffic encountered at the stream video + audio iMac to mountain BIKING in the room and streaming audio of ATV to AExpress at the same time?
    2. It is true that this configuration requires / use twice the network resources?
    3. Do you also think that my problem is caused by a network limited issue / the amount of data PR. second?
    4. I have a new (flat unit with power cord separate) Airport Express. This device manage more traffic and thus possibly resolve my problem?
    5. Other suggestions to solve my problem?

    Sorry for long post, but I think that its better with much info little. Have a great Sunday =)

    I think I can explain the reason for the problem... but I have little experience with sound problems... so you will need to figure out a work around.

    The nature of wireless networks, it's to manage the stream very well... but they are much less good at the sensitive time of things like multimedia transmission continuously. In fact, if you want to stream multimedia content over wireless, it is preferable to use specialized units... no wifi. I have a 3D projector and home theater system that uses a special wireless link from Epson to the projector... It is amazing that it can handle the required data of 3D projection. It does so by using 60GHz or some these extremely high FREQ... and totally dedicated units... no wifi. In the end, we ran an HDMI cable in the wall... it was largest wireless but not could be started reliably. Wireless is simply not ready for the big time of streaming video high definition even when dedicated.

    Wireless network adapter... It is wifi, can handle only one connection at a time and it time slices between clients. It's also half-duplex, so it can only send or receive... it can't do both at the same time.

    On the other hand, modern interrrupteurs ethernet can stream to multiple devices at the same time. It can also handle send them and receive at the same time... That is to say in full duplex. This is why the networks ethernet much more suitable for media streaming wireless never can be.

    As soon as you try to use double flow... even if it is audio (low bandwidth) and a video (broadband), you will cause huge delays to the video component. The video stream has literally if stop to give the time to the audio to catch up... you can immediately see where this will lead. Low resolution, it might work... but at high resolution, there is bandwidth inadequate considering the Division of time.

    It would be much better to use the audio on the TV. Or check if the TV itself has audio output... that plug into the standard analog audio system RCA or it could even have out optical. Who will then provide a means by which the flow must not be split. My samsung smart TV offers you both.

    The other solution probably won't be viable... execution of ethernet.

  • AutoComplete doesn't work does not after installing IE *.

    AutoComplete URL function works does not after installing IE8.  Looking at the Advanced tab properties IE I see an option to use AutoComplete (which is
    ticked off) but it is said to "..". turn of Internet Explorer".  Whatever that means, and how I seized not semi-automatic work again under IE8?  I can go back

    sjakulski,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    In Internet Explorer 8, the Auto complete option is in a new tab.  Go to tools, Internet Options and then click the content tab.  You will see a section that says "Auto-Complete".  Click on the 'Settings' button and it gives you several choices of auto complete options.

    This should solve your problem.  Let us know if you need more information.

  • File server for Windows does not work after security update

    I just upgraded the security update that was released last week and all of a sudden the computers windows cannot access the server. I'm under 10.11.6 and everything was great until we started windows computers today. They can ping and access the internet, but they cannot access SMB on the server.

    Macs have no connection problems in the SMB and AFP.

    Any ideas, what has changed? Users of server are all still there and it seems like it should work. I can access the web page of servers too.

    Make sure you are including the domain in the user name when signing in. for example USER: groupe_travail

    Also, check that your windows machine has the correct set of LM compatibility level. For El Cap servers must be set to 3.

    Follow the instructions below to change the Windows security settings to allow Windows SMB connections.

    1. Click on the Start button and in the bottom search bar, type regedit . Select search results regedit and the registry opens.
    2. Using the folders on the left side of the screen, navigate through the tree to the following location: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
    3. In the right window, find the following DWORD value: LmCompatibilityLevel . If it exists, double-click it and set the value to 3 (in decimal).  If it does not exist, right-click in an empty space in the right part of the window and create a new DWORD value called LmCompatibilityLevel and set its value to 3 (in decimal).
    4. Restart the computer.
    5. Re-try to connect to the server via the workstation.

    NOTE: The versions Home of windows may not the ability to set the LM, and unfortunately I have not found a way around that.

  • ENVY M6 - 1184ca: 8.1 for Windows does not start after the installation of update KB2919355

    Updating Windows 8.1 KB2919355 has proved to be extremely problematic for me. When he was released at the beginning of 2014 that I was not able to get installed it with the exception of two occasions, the first being several months ago and the second time, a few days ago. I have constant pain to try to get the update of KB2919355 until recently. What finally got the update installed was opened as administrator command prompt and type the following commands,

    DISM/Online/Remove - Package PackageNameackage_for_KB2919355 ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ amd64 ~ ~ 6.3.1.14 

    and then

    DISM / online/cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

    So now, the update of KB2919355 has been installed. Only one problem: like the first time I had the installed, Windows Update leave commissioning. As the HP splash screen that normally appears during the startup process appears after about 3 seconds, Windows displays an error Stop, and for a fraction of a second will display SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error, which as I read, is related to the graphics drivers. The thing is, after the cancellation of the update (the computer in Mode safe start put Windows automatically uninstall the update and everything goes well after), then go in and uninstall the graphics driver, restart, reinstall the graphics driver and reboot again, and then reinstall the KB2919355 update, the problem recurs. I also tried to download and to install the new update of firmware for my particular DESIRE machine which was released a few days ago, but which has not helped either.

    I'm really stuck. I looked up and down, and I scoured Internet for anything that might help. I need to update KB2919355 be installed because without it, I can't book my free upgrade of Windows 10. This laptop is about 2 years and a half old now, so it fulfills all the prerequisites for Windows 10.

    Please do not suggest that I do a Refresh of the system or a system reset, as I have no way to back up my programs, that which some I would not be able to reinstall because I have more drives for some of my programs. Also, I can lose to save him for some of my games.

    When people ask me "What's up?", I always say 'the CAP '.

    So that seems to have solved the problem that is described in this post here. I followed the suggestion, which was to uninstall the driver, SPDT DuplexSecure (which has something to do with the SCSI devices, I'm not quite sure) using the SPDTinst (download here) and now it seems that Windows has started without crashing after installing the update KB2919355. I'll check my Windows Update history and see if it is there.

    Low and behold, a year to be really behind value is ultimately more. I have successfully obtained the update of KB2919355 works on my computer.

  • Skins for Windows does not apply on Windows Media Player 11

    I use Windows Media Player 11 for Vista 64 bit and I download a skin and try to apply it to every time it won't work. It only works if I double click the skin file and I won't continue to do it every time. I tried to look for answers to this problem of alreadt, but every single response is to go to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-how-Windows-Media-Player-looks-using-skins and it does not at all help.

    Hi Matt,

    You save the skin before applying it or run it directly?

    If you save the skin before applying, you must double-click it to apply. Other wise, you must change the mouse settings to use the single click.

    For more information, you can consult the following article:

    Hello

    Be aware that there is no reason at all for all these hats.

    You can re - install Windows 8, however, this will require a new facility, which will make you lose all your files.
    However, you can try to see if the steps in this Wiki will help you further:
    Perhaps the steps in the Wiki can resolve the store from the number, especially method 3 works for most people.

  • Installation of Web premium CS5 for Windows does not

    Hello

    I have changed my PC and uninstalled the Web Premium CS5 for Windows on my old PC.

    I went to the LWS site to download installation (zip and exe) on my new PC (Win 7) and launched the exe files.

    Files have been decompressed, but when the process terminates it does not launch the installation at all. Nothing happens!

    Please could you help me?

    Thank you very much in advance :-)

    Thanks for your help.

    When I checked the log files, I realized that it was not all newspaper!

    If the exe has not made the installation at all.

    I therefore uncompressed manually the zip file and manually installed as well.

    It worked! :-D Thanks again

  • Question of CSS: IE7 for Windows does not

    Hi all

    I hope that there is a CSS buddy out there today.  I have a page that I built using CSS only (new to this) and the page works in Safari, Firefox on Mac and PC, but IE7 on Windows renders the wrong navigation/logo/header.

    Maybe there is a better way to do it.  I am wanting logo floated left, so it is sitting on the borders on the header, the navigation and main content area.  I thought I was very clever when he worked on my Mac.  It seems that it is a simple solution, but I can't get anything to work. IE7 seems to be not floated above and push the header and navigation to it's right.  If the header and NAV are wrapping around the logo instead of stay under.

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Tim

    Hi Tim,.

    I was able to look at your site in Firefox & Safari & see what you're trying to do (I don't have IE at work)...  I think that the implementation of the IE float does not work for what you are trying to do...

    Anyway, in your existing CSS replace

    #logo {}

    float: left;

    -with -.

    #logo {}
    position: absolute;

    On my system, I get the same layout in IE7, Firefox, Safari, Chrome & Opera with the CSS changed as the layout, you see in Safari (but screwed up in IE) with your existing page, i.e. http://www.skidcar.com/index-new.html

It starts with the battery and after about 10 seconds returns to the previous menu. Looking at the logs, it is said that the diagnistic was canceled, but certainly not by me. I managed to run individual tests on do as the battery, processor and hard drive and they all passed.

    How can we try to repair Windows rather than recreating the image?

    If you create a USB installer or Windows 8.1, you should be able to access the recovery options advanced that you will use the Safe Mode. If you are able to boot in safe mode, then using the system recovery may very well be the answer to the question of the BCD store that appeal to you.

    Follow the instructions on the third party site to create a usb Windows 8.1 installer using a key of Windows 8.1 credits and use it to access the Windows environment.
