Sound only works at startup

Sound

If I start or restart my computer, my sound works, but once I have use 1 or several times, it stops just the volume icon disappears also.

I have a laptop about 2 years and has windows vista... it's as far as my knowledge goes.

    Well, punctuation, capitalization, and enablers would help make your readable phost!

    Do you mean that you have no web sounds? If so, make sure "Play web pages" or similar is verified in any browser you use.
    What did you win by dating the ATA drivers?
    You must identify your audio driver and the update.
    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer and obtain the correct drivers from there. If you PC, then go to the MB manufacturers website and get the drivers from there.
    Code 31: you managed to corrupt your audio drivers. Do as above.

  • HP Envy Touch: Sound only works for about 1 hour after I restart. Then suddenly stops.

    Product: HP ENVY Sleekbook 4 t-1000 CTO

    Model: KD1A99UA #ABA

    Operating system: Windows 7

    When I restart my computer, my sound works for an hour or two and then suddenyl turns off. It does this with or without a helmet. It works again as soon as I restart the computer, but I would really do not have to restart my computer every hour just to get the sound to work.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Open windows control panel, open Windows Update, select "View update history" in the left pane and then select "Installed updates" link in the next window.

    Locate the KB2962407 update, right click and choose uninstall.  Once completed, restart the computer, open windows control panel, open Windows Update and select "Check for updates".  You will see the update that you have uninstalled just offered once again - right click and select "Hide update".

    After that you may or may not need to remove and reload the sound driver - if you do, how to use Recovery Manager to reinstall the drivers and software is detailed in the document at the link below.

    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.

    If the pesists of the problem, right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar, then select playback devices.  Right click 'Speakers and headphones' (or speakers/HP), and then select Properties.  Select the Advanced tab, and then remove the check box "allow applications to take exclusive control of this device."  Click apply and then click Ok to save this change.

    Restart the laptop.

  • Tecra M5 - sound only works if Win XP SP2 has been loaded

    I have a sound problem that just started. I can hear the windows play music startup, but at the time where my system sound is no longer working.
    When I go into the properties of sound under control panel everything is greyed out and he said no. Audio Device.

    All looks fine in Device Manager - I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers. I uninstalled every piece of software I can think of that could be the cause of the issue, but still no sound after the system is in place.

    Any help with figureing on what is walking on my sound would be great. I am at my end.

    Works with Windows XP SP2

    Kind regards
    Ad.

    Have Hmm you checked if the SILENCE was not enabled?
    What about the other sound settings in Control Panel-> sound and audio devices control

    Please check what default device has been set in the audio tab.

    However, if all the settings are correctly defined the it could be a software problem. In this case, you can try to recover the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    I know it's a radical solution, but it would help to solve this problem.

  • Sound only works if I constantly change the volume control.

    Hello

    The sound on this Dell Inspiron One 19 t works only if I jiggle the volume control constantly.  The drivers are up to date and the only thing I can add is that this problem started when I reinstalled Windows 7 after a BSOD.  I tried to use Puppy Linux using a live CD, and even who could understand the question sound, even if it has detected the sound architecture right and everything is configured.  Just always had this problem.  So now I'm using Windows 7 and have installed all the updates and still I can't hear sound if I move the slider volume up and down.  It is therefore completely useless without good audio playback.

    I searched and searched on the internet and it doesn't seem to be a very common problem, and nobody is mentioning the same problem with the conexant smartaudio driver windows 7.  In any case... I'm a little sick of these computer things now... just full of bugs provided by companies billions of dollar, which tends to support you unless you pay them $ more.

    Please do not answer in an audio format or I won't be able to hear it :)

    The currently installed driver may be reported as the latest version, but he could have become corrupt and therefore not working properly.

    So, even if the driver is updated, you might find that download and install the driver from the Dell support site will fix the problem.

  • Sound only works in the helmet and no sound from speakers

    My computer sound laptop windows 7 is extremely low, even if the volume levels are at the top. I tried different options such as the restoration of the system, change some things on playback devices, uninstall the drivers, etc.. Nothing works, sound remains the same. The sound is fine only with headphones.

    Hello

    Please keep us updated on the status of the issue.

    I suggest you to update the BIOS and the sound card drivers from this link and check if it helps.

    After a driver to install my card from his Creative SB2 worked well. The day of juxtaposing it wouldn't work. Later, the only safe mode startup is cured by disconnecting the sound card. Could he have gone wrong or how do I get that back to work?

  • Apple tv only works on the left speaker

    Through any HDMI input audio left is the only work, regardless of the selection of entries.

    It would sound as if you have confirmed that the question must be with the device and is not the cable or TV. How old is this particular Apple TV? It is still under warranty or AppleCare?

  • Time Capsule A1355 no light, no sound? worked this morning now after connecting it, first go-ahead for colid quickly followed by the longest fixed Orange, which turns off and then nothing? He's dead now?

    Time Capsule A1355 no light, no sound? worked this morning now after connecting it, first green light solid, quickly followed by amber is more solid, which turns off and then nothing? I'm not in the airport or if directly connected to the Macbook air utility. It is running the latest firmware, updated 7 days ago and everything was fine until now. Tried both a soft and a hard reset factory but still nothing, but the same brief glow only after restarting each time before going dark again? Any ideas if it can be fixed or if it's as I read elsewhere dead now?

    Thank you

    Any ideas if it can be fixed or if it's as I read elsewhere dead now?

    He died... the fact that the main witness turns off is unusual in this model.

    It is common to the next... A1409 (gen4)

    What happens in the Gen3 is normally a few deaths on the Board... or a bunch of capacitors is low...

    See s/apple-time-capsule-repair/new-issue-with-a1355-gen-3-tc https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem

    If yours is a very fine introduces Gen3 just before Gen 4, it is possible that the same fix on the Gen 4 could work.

    s/Apple-time-capsule-repair/GEN4-a1409-issues https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem

    I found early Gen4 may fail as Gen3 but must admit that I am yet to see the Gen3 with welding problems.

    I doubt repair is worth it. The Gen3 is now about 6 years... give or take... This is way beyond the standard lifetime of a TC.

    If you want to play, I'm happy to help you... but I would not spend money on it.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - can't get sound to work

    Hello

    I have an A300 (PSAGDA-01D00R), which I am issues with sound.

    When I first received it, he had Vista business and the sound wasn't working, so I installed XP but sound still does not work. I then decided on installing Windows 7 and still can't seem to get the sound to work.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, with no joy.

    Anyone has any ideas, Im starting to think that it might be afflicted a hardware problem.

    Hi alytech,

    What it means exactly, you can get t the operation?
    The sound card is correctly listed in the Device Manager?
    Where did you download the driver exactly?

    You wrote that Vista has been installed when you get it. Maybe the sound was only cut, so you can use the FN + ESC key combination.
    Try to also load default settings in the BIOS and test it with external speakers, please.

  • In input/out live telephone calls have "broken" sound only after updating to iOS 9.3 update on 6, please help...

    All entry/out live telephone calls have 'broken' sound only & unable to play the music on my phone after update to iOS 9.3 update on 6, please help...

    Hi there dmaclatchy,

    It sounds slipped you can not use the app phone on your phone, because the sound is uneven or inaudible and something is happening with your music do not let play. I want to quit all applications running on the phone:

    Force an app to close the iOS

    1. press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
    2. slide to the left to find the application you want to close.
    3. push upward on the overview of the application to close.

    When you have done that reboot the device and test again the question:

    iOS: switch off and on (restart) and reset

    If the problem persists, save your device in iTunes, then restore it like new and verify that it works.

    How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups

    If this is the case, restore your backup either check it still works and just reinstalled software or circumvent the problem in the backup file itself. Let us know how it goes! Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  • Apple Mail only works when I restart in "safe" mode otherwise it becomes crazy, using all the capabilities of the CPU.  Seems to be linked to the case.  Any help?

    Apple Mail only works when I restart in "safe" mode otherwise it becomes crazy, using all the CPU capacity without any correct output.  Seems to be connected with caches.  Any help?

    Generally, if your Mac works correctly in Mode safe, but not normally, then you have a third-party software that runs at the start of the origin of the problem.

    Safe mode disables most of the extensions of third-party startup and some Apple hardware, so it could be another problem for Apple, but I have never heard of your problem.

  • Get incremental counter/sound to work along side with action with usb-6008 with labview tia sal22

    Get incremental counter/sound to work along the coast with usb-6008 with labview tia sal22

    Hi all

    I can get this vi to work if they are distinct from the vi but I can't join them together

    Example of my error:

    If buffers are set to 0 the freq counter increment works, but no sound
    If the buffers are set to 1 the audio works fine but is not increment the Freq counter
    If the buffers are attached to more 1 clicks and pops are coming

    That's what I'm doing:
    (1) have the frequency of increment of my internal sound card to a certain level as .01hz a second until he gets to 20 000 hz

    (2) use my device usb-6008 daq, which is connected to the same machine to measure the voltage at the same time. (I am in a position very low voltages between 1-5volts)

    (3) output to a worksheet text file which will show you:

    time in seconds, frequency, voltage
    0,400.01,2

    1,400.02,2.5

    2,400.03,1

    I'm a bit confused about how connect the increment and the audio during the measurements with the usb-6008 housing on the same machine
    at the same time and in the same VI.

    Anyone have any ideas?  I'm using labview 8.5
    TIA sal22

    Ha ha you have been deceived by a dynamic thread. Insert a convert from Dynamic Data Express VI (Palette to own: Signal handling screw Express) between the daq read and build the array function. Then it won't work. Now the value in the dynamic data is only converted to a numeric value
