His Audio devices total gray.  No icon of volume on the taskbar for weeks.  Help, please.

Hello

What do you mean exactly by "total gray?
I recommend you to check if the Windows Audio service is running. Also check if your sound driver is recognized by Windows
[1] method: Using Microsoft Management Console to determine the services that are running

  • On the start menu, select "Run."... »
  • Insertion: services.msc
  • Scroll down until you reach Windows Audio under the name column
  • Status of this service may be indicated under the status column
  • If the service was not working / has no status, right-click on the Service and select Start

[2] method: Using Device Manager to search for recognized devices

  • On the start menu, select "Run."... »
  • Insertion: compmgmt.msc
  • In the left pane, under System Tools , select Device Manager
  • Check if you can see your name of audio driver under audio, video and game controllers. Also look for devices with a point of exclamation or question marks
Thank you
I hope this helps :)

  • Windows composition suddenly totally grayed out - nothing appears.

    Was working on a video, had as 6 compositions I put together in a final model - rendered, and then when I went back in the individual compositions, each of them, but that no longer displays anything - it's just a total gray screen. See screenshot.

    It is not that the window is off the screen or something - there's simply nothing. Curiously, when I rub through the final comp, everything displays. It's as if he is there, but I can't see it in the individual compositions.

    If I'm far enough in my backup automatically, windows are still there, but huge chunks of work will have to be redone.

    Please tell me there is just something I am missing. It sucks.

    Windows 7, After Effects 13.0.2.3.

    Capture.JPG

    First of all: you have the Composition Panel zooms to 1600%. Make sure you 100% or something else, much smaller than 1600%.

    Also, why are you using 13.0.2? You should use after effects 13.2, the most recent update. Search for updates by selecting help > updates.

  • LaserJet Pro P1102w: "in gray" P1102w printer device settings

    I installed a new SSD and installed all my programs and drivers.  However, when I go to the LaserJet Properties window, all the entries are "grayed out."  They are there, but I can't lick c on them.

    I got this computer for two years and since the printer at the same time.  I use the same DVD for the loading of software and used the HP Smart Install feature to install the drivers.  Until I changed the original SSD for one SSD more big, I had no problem with this printer and had full access to all the properties of the printer.  This printer has been installed on three other computers and none of them had this problem.

    For what it's worth, I bought this printer as a renovated unit in the center of Clement, so I did not have separate installation CD.  However, the HP Smart Install worked without problems in the past.

    Any ideas on how to get the properties of the printer out of State "Grayed" Out?

    Thank you.

    Last updated 22/03/15:

    I found the problem.  I checked the other computers that work properly with this printer.  Under properties of the printer, Security tab, I have determined that other computers have an entry under the usernames for this computer.  I checked the computer having the problem and found it lacking input.  I added the lack of user name and features has been restored.

  • "No Audio device is installed" in Windows Vista.

    Back in September 2011, I lost mysteriously my audio. I have a red X on my "speaker" icon in my system tray. When I put the cursor on the "speaker" icon, I get this message "No Audio Device Installed. I went to HP customer web page and found the audio driver: Realtek High Definition Audio Version 6.0.1.5548 (sp37324.exe). I downloaded the program and recorded on my download folder. I put a shortcut to it on my desktop. The only way I can get sound whenever I turn on my computer I click with the right button on the desktop shortcut and run as an administrator and install the program. Turn on my sound. It works as long as I keep the computer. Whenever I restart the computer I'm back for the red X on the "speaker" icon.

    Now, Windows Update sent me (on 3 occasions the last two weeks) a update "option"... Realtek High Definition Audio. Every time I have download and install and do a restart, but I get the same red X on the "speaker" icon. It's Ground Hog Day!

    My question: is it safe to uninstall the Realtek High Definition Audio driver and reinstall the sp37324.exe without totally send my audio into a black hole? BTW, I don't have a recovery disk.

    I hope that someone on this forum can help me. I've exhausted all remedies.

    Alto! It worked. I uninstalled the Realtek Audio (in Device Manager), did a reboot and the computer does the repair (reinstalled audio) itself. I didn't have to manually reinstall.

    1 million thanks!

  • HP ENVY E1P05AV: IDT Audio Driver problems in Windows 7

    For the past few weeks, I dealt with the same audio swings and speaker problems that a lot of people here have complained.  I am aware of the updated driver for those who have Windows 8 computers, but I have a Windows 7.  This computer was purchased in June, after my previous HP laptop (which therefore had no problem) had to be replaced.  Restarting the computer solved for a few minutes, but there always questions until it inevitably makes it so I can't hear anything or play videos.  I uninstalled, deleted and reinstalled the driver IDT several times including downloadling directly on the site of HP. I sat and looked at the settings Audio Beats swing back and looked like Windows Explorer crashes because I tried to change the volume on my keyboard settings.  Most of the time, I can not even restart or shut down my computer more, it just stays on a black screen with the power light until I turn OFF manually or the battery dies.

    I am so frustrated with this and even more so by the fact that a fix has been pushed through for the users of Windows 8, but you leave those of us with Windows 7 stuck with unusable laptop computers.  Please tell me how I can fix this or direct me to someone who can help me to replace my laptop.  Thank you.

    P.S. I'm not angry with you, just at the situation, I'm sorry to sound like a jerk.

    I solved the problem, but thank you very much for your help.

    Audio swings and the total lack of audio was caused by a loose speaker inside the computer wire.  I was able to tie it and everything works fine now.

  • How to capture audio playback PC?

    Audition CS6, Win 7 Pro, Toshiba L5xxxxx, Realtek High Definition

    I'm a total noob with audio software, I'm a web developer by trade and want to record audio playback (capture), but I can't figure out where and how. I see in the audio settings for the card its a recording from the microphone option or then choose map map but don't know what to do at the hearing.

    Any help or a link to a tutorial is most appreciated!

    Having put in place the correct material at the hearing and open a new file in waveform view simply click on the record button. In the view Multrack you must first Record select the track you want to record ontoby by clicking on the arms register 'R' for the button in the track header Panel. This click the button Save.

  • Duration of the slide show CS5 does not again refresh audio clip

    In a slide show, complete with 'Fit audio slideshow DURATION' checked (duration 00; 19; 32-24), I decided to replace the audio with a composition more short (00; 10; 00; 22). With the original audio clip erased and the new added audio clip and the 'slide show audio TIME Fit' checked, slide durations recalculated so that the last slide has a 00 exit point; 10; 00; 22 but the duration of the slide show is 'stuck' 00; 19; 32; 24. the end action takes place to return to the menu, but when the last slide goes black (at 00; 10; 00; 22) keeps him slide show running with a black screen, probably all the way to 00. 19; 32 24 before it hits the end action, even if I did not let it run again at this point. I shot 'Fit slideshow to audio duration' then turn it on again, in the hope that it will recalibrate at 00; 10; 00; 22, but the length does not change. Help, please!

    Try to play with these ideas:

    Uncheck "Fit to Audio duration slideshow."  (As you probably now it have anyway).

    On the slide show tab basic properties, set the duration of the slide to zero.  Now, what is the length of the slide show?  The length of the audio new or old?

    Or, something great (so I think that the total is more audio length) on the duration of the slide.  What is the length of the slide show?

    Search now "Fit slideshow / audio.  How long is it?

    I had the same symptom as you did (audio plays beyond the end of the blades) when the durations of slide added unless the audio length and 'Fit audio slideshow' was unchecked.

  • How to fix a sound problem - reading devices no. for the Device Manager on WinXP SP3?

    (1) I can't to Device Manager by following the guide for help on my system.  The steps do not match what is actually showing me my Windows and I can not here the only way I can get to it is to use a link on the help page directly.  Even when I do that, the steps in the help guide still do not match what I see on MY screen.  Is this perhaps an update of this Guide to match my system?

    (2) I need Device Manager to find out what happened on my Audio device.  I have no sound from my speakers.  It happened all of a sudden when my wife was using the computer.  I don't know what she can do both.

    Start/Settings/Control Panel / sounds and Audio Devices Properties shows "No. Audio Device", hence "Volume of the device" is gray.  Audio tab displays 'No peripheral to read '.

    The fastest way to bring up the Device Manager is:
    Start-> Run-> "devmgmt.msc".
    If it detects the sound equipment, but there is a problem with a driver, you will probably see a yellow "!" appears by your audio device.

    If he was working and stopped, you can try to perform a "System Restore" to a point where it worked:

  • Windows 8 randomly disconnecting from USB devices

    At seemingly random times, Windows 8 disconnects USB devices. I have a total of three usb devices connected:
    -Wifi (TL-WN722N) card
    -Mouse Microsoft WMO1.1
    -Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 1. 0a

    I tried to play with all sorts of settings in the BIOS, disable USB3.0, turn on USB broadband or fullspeed, etc, but nothing makes a change. This problem does not occur in Windows XP or Windows 7. As far as I can tell (I may be wrong) the first machine to cut is the Wifi card, and others would follow. When it arrives, unplug the wifi card and the keyboard, the mouse sometimes does not work. The card wifi for Win8 drivers are still in beta, but I haven't read anyone else facing this problem. Is there a kind of function where he updates the USB devices that could be the cause (and if yes can be disabled) Windows 8?

    My specs:
    -Motherboard ASUS M4A89GTD
    -SeaSonic S12II 520W Bronze 520
    -AMD Phenom II 965 @3. 4 ghz (not overclocked or changed in any way, 4 cores enabled)
    -4 GB of DDR3 ram
    -OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB SSD
    -ATI HD 5700
    -Card audio Xfi

    I determined what the problem is. The disconnection occurs only when network activity high, like when I download. It seems that the wifi card drivers are at fault.

  • Windows Media Center showing the gray screen (no picture but sound OK)

    Hi everyone, I had a problem with Windows Media Center for several weeks now: when I try to watch television, either recorded or live (from my tuner), WMC shows a square white gray but audio works fine. Trying to open the .wtv files in WMP has similar problems - presenting a black screen but with complete audio. Other files video (I tried .avi and .wmv) still work correctly. WMC was playing TV files without a problem until one day, it just stopped working. There wasn't that no updates not installed that startup and the system has been installed costs less than a week before the problem started.

    After spending a whole week looking for solutions online, there seem to be many people who have had this problem, but all have been fixed by different methods, and none of them seem to work here. I will list what I tried: installation and reinstallation of different codec packs, reinstall the WMC, uninstall and then reinstall all the Turners and the graphics drivers, setting the parameters within the WMC, graphics cards settings adjustment. I also tried to make a 'fresh' start (no extra service, just basic Microsoft services) to try and see if a particular service is causing the problem, but even in these conditions, the problem persists.

    I hope someone can help, if you need more information, let me know.

    Database Rebuild Windows Media Center. Here are the steps- follow carefully.

    @SoniaM
    Welcome to the HP Forums

    I would like to take a moment and thank you for the use of this forum, it is a great place to find answers.
    You have the best experience on the HP forum, you can also visit our Guide of Forums from HP for the first time here? Learn how to post and much more.

    If I understand correctly there is a gray tint/background on the start screen, stop,

    Don't worry though, as I have a few steps to the issue and find a solution more.

    Please try another monitor to understand if it is a hardware or a software failure,
    If the lines do not appear on the other monitor, replace the faceplate on your computer,
    If there are lines on the monitor/TV replacing, re-install the graphics card drivers and update of HP's official website: click here

    If you do not have another monitor, I recommend you to check if the lines appear on the BIOS screen (restart the computer and press F10 to access BIOS)

    This would confirm if it is a hardware failure or a problem with the graphics card drivers, so we can reinstall and update drivers to fix the problem, as mentioned above.

    If the problem persists on the BIOS as well, please try with a TV to identify if it's the LCD or the mother/video card failure,

    If the problem occurred after an accident (such as a fall on the ground, the liquid spilled on it, etc.) that there could be a hardware failure and in this case, you may need to get the computer repaired by HP (it might have involved load if the PC is not covered by the protection against accidental damage plan)

    Response with the result of the above, for help.

    I wish you a good day
    And do not hesitate to ask questions that this forum has some of the best people in the world, available and ready to help.
    Kind regards
