• No HDMI Audio, could not play the test tone, cannot change the default playback device

  Hello, I have real trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6-2160us experience (with the i3 - 330 M, no dedicated graphics card) Windows 7-64 bit, SP1 PC and I would be happy to help.

  I created a new thread because, despite the fact that many other people have experienced a problem similar to this and have posted what has worked for them, nothing has worked for me.

  The problem (s):

  My main problem is that I can not any audio to play from my PC to my HDTV HDMI.

  When I plug my HDMI cable on my PC and the TV, the TV is recognized in the playback devices, but nothing he can play.

  When I try to test the TV in playback devices, I get an error "could not play the test tone.

  In addition, I want to mention a few other odd behavior that I think can be a part of the main problem.

  In playback devices, I can't change anything. I can't disable or enable a device, I can not set as default playback or communication devices, and I can't save changes to the properties of the device. Whenever I try to change something, as the default playback device, nothing happens, or the changes are immediately reversed.

  The Question:

  How can I get audio to play through HDMI on my PC (is not a problem with the TV, my other machines HP audio playback over HDMI it is fine)?

  What I tried:

  I tried:

  • Change the default playback devices, which I am unable to do
  • The utilities of reading Audio de Windows 7 running in a clean boot state
  • Uninstall and reinstall the driver Intel(r) Audio display
  • Uninstallation and reinstallation of the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
  • Uninstall the IDT Audio PC program under programs and features
  • Disable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC

  Nothing has worked.

  The drivers I have are the latest issued by HP

  How can I get this to work? I would appreciate help.

  I'm at the point where I'm willing to try solutions quite technically involved, so feel free to post those.

  Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  OK, I finally have the answer for that.

  If you experience this problem even and you want to fix it, you'll need a PC running the same version of Windows 7 that your PC works lot of work but it works without problems, with regard to this point.

  Here's what I did to solve the problem:

  1. Create a system restore point.
  2. Run regedit.exe as administrator.
  3. Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices \Audio .
  4. Compare the permissions and attributes of ownership of this key and all subkeys to your work PC.
  5. Change all permissions and property attributes for interest on the defective PC keys as they are the same as those on the operation of the PC.
  6. Restart your faulty computer.

  I hope this helps. It worked for me.

  a. go to control panel.

  c. 'Volume' tab, click on "Advanced" in the section "the Unit Volume."
  d. try without inhibition, all audio sources, if none of them are dumb.

  To do this, do a right-click the sound icon in the system tray and select playback devices. Then, right click on the headset on the reading tab and then click set as default Communication device.

  Alternatively, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the audio device driver and check the status.

• Sound problems. When I try to test my sound in the Control Panel, it says "the test sound could not be played."

  For about two days, my sound is really starting to * me off. = D now, the problem is that it seems to you that it works (its icon in the lower-right corner is white and with three soundwaves), however, there just not sound at all. When I try to test my sound in Control Panel, it says "the test sound could not be played." When I go into the Device Manager, it says that everything is up to date and working correctly. Also, when I try to play any audio or video file in WMV, he said is a problem and it stops at the video. I tried deleting and reinstalling all audio drivers and then it works for about two minutes, but then it stops working again.

  Here's the situation.

  First of all only started to the top of my Asus to find was no sound. Following up to plug-and-play service has not started. It is now removed apparently.

  Here are the solutions I tried, in and out of safe mode:

  While the plug-and-play was still there at all, and I tried to go I still receive error message 2. could not locate the file.

  In CMD sfc/scannow reached 32%, then breaks down, saying: it finds corrupted files, but could not fix.

  It Startin via msconfig did not work.

  Tried to go through Device Manager, which is completely empty for some reason any.

  System Restore is restoring before this problem. When you attempt a restore, plug-and-play service is not returned to the existence, defective or otherwise.

  I knew, but there may be malware, mutiple scans with several services did not find anything.

  Hello

  For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

  This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

  ________________________________________________

  You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

• Could not start the Windows Vista firewall

  Hi all

  I can't start the Windows Firewall service in anyway.
  I can't open it via Control Panel, as it is said simply: "the Windows Firewall settings cannot poster because the asscioated service is not running. You want to start the Windows Firewall service? »
  I click "Yes", then he said: 'Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service. There is no error code indicated.
  I tried running "wf.msc" using the Microsoft Management Console. When this window appears, he says: "there was an error opening the Windows Firewall with advanced snap-in security.; The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap could not load. Restart the Windows Firewall service on the computer that you are managing. "Error code: 0x6D9.
  As it seems, I can not start it this way or the other.
  I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on the Services tab, then click services on the bottom, and this opens the Services window.
  In the new Services window, I try to start the service "Windows Firewall". I get a message saying: "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.; Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. »
  Therefore, it does not. The service is set to automatic.
  I found another process called 'Base filtering engine', which I discovered is related to the use of the Windows Firewall service. Then, that I try to start this service, and he said: "Windows has no start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer." Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. »
  Still, I can't find a way to fix the problem. In addition, the service is set to automatic.
  So if someone could help me, give me ideas or tell me how to solve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  P. S. sometimes, when I type things in the command prompt, I get a message saying that "the requested operation requires a rise." What it means
  ?
  EDIT:
  The base filtering engine
  IKE and AuthIPsec Keying Modules

  Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

  IPsec policy agent

  Routing and remote access

  Windows event collector

  Windows Firewall

  All of these services don't work, with each saying "Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer.; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ", with the exception of the Base Filtering Engine service.

  EDIT:

  I believe that the motor of filter of Bae is the root cause of the problem, because when I try to start it, it says "Windows cannot start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer. Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. ", so that all the other programs on this service, said depedent" Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer. " ; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ».

  Hello everyone, I solved the problem. The problem is a corrupted, file called "secdrv.sys. To resolve this problem, I had to first download the file "secdrv.sys' out of my operating system CD. To do this, you must create a partition and "mount" a file on CD, on the newly created partition. The file you have to climb is and is called: "*: \sources\install.wim. Extending .wim means a "file system Windows Image" and to see what files it contains, you will need to download what we call the "Windows Automated Installation Kit". Explicit instructions on the installation procedure and where to get this program, is here: "http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/86959-access-vista-install-dvd-files.html". Once you have the file mounted, just search the area mounted for "secdrv.sys", then copy and paste it in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers" or that where the drivers from your system.

  Hello

  XP disk will not help you to fix Vista

  As the system restore does not try a startup repair and / or a restoration of the system using a Microsoft Vista DVD

  Manufacturers recovery disks normally do not have Service Options; they are normally a relocation to the factory only settings option.

  Here is the guide to repair Options using a Vista DVD from Microsoft.

  If a friend or a work acquantance of yours has one, you can borrow and use it for repairs.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/repair-Windows-with-Windows-Startup-Repair/

  Table of contents

  1. Overview of Windows Vista repair options
  2. How to perform an automatic repair of Windows Vista using Startup Repair
  3. Advanced Tools Overview
  4. Conclusion

  If you do not or can not borrow a Microsoft DVD there is a download of a file ISO of Vista Startup Repair available that you can put on a Bootable floppy to make the above startup repair and that the method is recommended by a large number of posters in these Forums.

  Unfortunately, you have to buy it.

  Here is a link to it:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2011/Windows-Recovery-discs-updated-reinstated/

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And here are a few ways to reinstall Vista.

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer" error during the upgrade of Vista in Windows XP

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1505, that is running Windows XP Media Center Sp3. I'm doing a place in upgrading to Vista since the disks to upgrade Dell... Everything's fine until the 'Expansion of the files' [27%], then the installation fails with this message: "Windows could not update the configuration to start the computer. Installation cannot continue. Any changes made to your computer during the upgrade". I did a google search for a fix that involves changing a value in the registry in the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E976-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} for example change the value to PartMgr Upperfilters. Unfortunately, this value was the default for my registry key changes could be made. Some other fixes involved the renaming of Upperfilter.bak, for Upperfilters unfortunately this .bak value does not exist in my registry.

  I tried to boot from the disk of Vista and changing the msconfig for a selective startup but without result.

  In addition, the stall even appears at a similar point when you try to upgrade to Windows 7. Is it because of the presence of hidden Media Direct and Dell restore partitions? Compatibility Assistant programs for the two operating systems found nothing significant. Anti virus has been disabled during the installation procedure. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Not quite, but pretty close. Media Direct could not lock the boot sector. It must be a BIOS lock or a mechanism of protection provided by your antivirus software.  Given that, I would check your program settings then for all that prevents changes to the boot sector. You may find more easy just uninstall it and reinstall it after the upgrade. Good luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Crazy" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Windows help - www.rickrogers.org

• My Windows Media Player will play the video of an MPG file, but it will not play the sound. What is the cause?

  I do video editing.  I transferred my camera video file and Windows Media Player played the video and audio very well at the beginning.  I edited the file with editing software and exported the file again.  Now, the sound will not play using WMP but it will play if I use video editing software.

  As a result, I've uploaded new files from the camera and now WMP not give me sound on those either.  If something seems to be affected by my WMP.  Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

  Hi rgosmond,

  (a) don't you get any specific error message when you play the video?

  (b) what is the file format of the resulting video file after editing by using the video editing software?

  (c) you are able to play the files on the computer? You hear the sound?

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  O make sure that windows MediaPlayer is not muted, press F7 on the keyboard to turn the sound back on.

  Ø check if the volume is at a minimum in Media Player, press F9 on the keyboard to increase the volume.

  Verify that the default audio device is correctly set

  1. click on start, type Sound in the box to start the search.

  2. click on sound in the results of search at the top of the start menu.

  3. click on the tab reading notice the check mark next to the default device. For most users, the default device is speakers. Make sure that the audio settings are configured as expected. Follow these steps:

  4. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click Properties, click the Advanced tab and make sure that the default Format is set to the value you expect. When you are finished, close this window to return to the previous window.

  5. on the playback tab, select the playback device, click on configure and make sure that the configurations are set correctly.

  6. If the sound settings are well positioned, you are using speakers as the audio device and your speakers are already set as the default device, go to method 5 now.

  7. Select the audio device you want as the default audio device and then click on set as default.

  8. click OK to save your settings and close the sound dialog box.

  Now, check if the problem is resolved.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
