W520 bad sound quality glitches and audio with current conexant driver

Hi guys,.

I have to deal with several audio problems. Before any change, I had a lot of glitches audio during playback of MP3s, videos etc.. Playback of the sound crashes from time to time and gives me the error of his (seeds, where some samples are played repeatedly).

Then I read that the withdrawal of the conexant driver and using the windows 7 drivers works better. And they did it. I uninstalled the drivers conexant and tradingtextile.com win7 installed some standard drivers. Then, almost all the errors and faults were gone. But I could not use my docking station anymore.

OK, now, I have installed the latest drivers conexant for windows 7, the problem is less than with the old drivers conexant, but always worse than drivers of windows 7 from microsoft.

These problems appear to be associated with the use of the network. I think they appear much more often, if I'm connected to my local network or surf the internet. This occurs when you are using LAN or WLAN.

In addition, the signal to noise ratio is very poor. If I kinda wrecked my speakers there are several 'sounds' when you use the W520, internet access, access hd etc. can all be 'heard '...

Everyone knows the same? I spent a lot of time working on this problem. Why the lenovo could not put a decent sound card in the W520? It really gets me upset. Any help is appreciated.

See you soon,.

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

  • Bad sound quality

    I've been using Apple music on Android since last year and I also tested all the main services continuously looking for the one that fits for me. Here are my comments.

    Positive:

    1. the interface is pretty good
    2. playback of gapless albums works very well for me, a lot of competitors have problems with it, and it was important for me
    3 integration of own files works fine on my Xperia Z5, I had problems with this on Z1 Compact

    Negative:

    Sound quality. It is bad or even terrible, depending on the type of music. I don't think it's a matter of encoding. I think that Apple music flows in 256 kbps AAC (is this correct?), competitor g. MP3 320 kbps and 320 kbps OGG competitor s., I think. Thus, the difference in practice should be negligible, I think. But there is a huge difference in the listening experience.

    I use a Sony Z5 and headphones MDR-1ABT, which is quite a decent facility, and I love the sound of the G or S. The look is fantastic, bass is large and acute lovely, dynamic range is excellent. If I activate it Department HX from Sony on the phone that there is even better, it makes you go "wow". Everything just fantastic.

    Listening to the music of Apple experience is just the opposite. It looks like little in 1990s FM radio, the sound is extremely stable compared to G or S., the bass is very low, not sharp, flat. The application does not meet the parameters of its Android, there is therefore no equalizer and no HX Department. I can't listen to music of Apple for more than 15-20 minutes, when we know the sound quality of G or S, it's just not nice.

    Competitor T has the same question or 'feature' - the sound of Android settings are not respected by the app.

    So my question is, are there plans to fix it in the next release or 1.0, or should I rather build my playlists elsewhere? It will respect the sound of Android settings, like Equalizer / Clear Audio / Department HX? I like Apple interface and feel better and prefer to continue my subscription to Apple's music, but I can't stand the sound flat...

    It seems very per device, Apple music on my HTC a M7 sound worse than my friends Samsung Galaxy that sounds like my iPhone.

  • bad sound quality in the desktop version but not in the modern windows application

    I have a brand new Microsft Surface Pro 3 with all the updates that are installed and the latest version of Skype.

    When I use the modern windows application, the sound quality is very good.

    When I use the desktop app, it looks like wind. The poor sound is experienced by myself and the recipient and also when I echo test call.

    I uninstalled the windows application modern to have installed both causes a conflict.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app without result.

    It is not the mouse or the speaker settings on my surface, because it works perfectly well when you use the modern windows application.

    any suggestions?

    I have now solved the problem by removing the MCO.

    For all those affected by the poor audio quality in Skype desktop client, please go to:

    Tools > Options > Audio Settings, then uncheck "Automatically adjust microphone settings" and "automatically adjusts the speaker settings.

  • Equium A110-233 bad sound quality

    Hi all, please can someone help,

    I recently bought a satellite A110-233 and the sound quality is terrible (I am aware that there is a conrtol of volume on the front of the laptop until someone asks ;-))

    I played around with all the settings including the Tru-Surround options and via the internal speaker volume level is very low, even though unfortunately this isn't my main concern. The main reason I bought the laptop was to use as the source for the reading of the media through my Hi-Fi and TV channel. When I connect to my stereo using a socket type of headphone 3.5 mm headphone output on decision-making for the twin RCA inputs on my system audio is absolutely appalling. The volume is very low and there is no depth to the sound and absolutely NOT that it's low.

    I tried to play the same files on the other half cell and the output is absolutely fine.

    I tried to download a new copy of the audio driver and install that. I also tried a full format of the laptop and reinstall windows from zero (not from the appropriate disk recovery, but since the windows CD), still no joy.

    Please please can someone help me because I can't use my system for what I bought it for!

    Thank you all

    Hello

    Hmmm, I'm not an owner Equium A110 and so I can't give you a professional opinion on this problem.
    For me it is not easy to tell if it is a hardware/software problem, or if it is simply a sound quality.

    In any case... I noticed several discussions here in the forum about bass on laptops Satellite A100 and a person has provided a solution.

    According to several messages try to delete or to rename the files RTHDAEQ0. DAT and RTHDAEQ1. DAT.
    You should find these files in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder

    But it is a solution of A100 series and I don't know if it helps on an A110.
    However, test it and please report results... It is interesting to me

  • Inspiron 620, bad sound quality

    I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 620 under Windows 7 Home Premium.  I have Logitech LS21 speakers (S-00040) (L, R, and subwoofer). Until last week, the sound quality was very good.  Now, I'm getting poor quality, a little scrambled his no matter what I play: Pandora, CNN, music websites.  I swapped the speakers.  I've fiddled with settings of control panel of configuration/sounds.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the sound cards. I've updated the sound card drivers, I plugged the speakers in the front and the audio jack.  All to nothing does not.  I probably have a hardware problem? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Mike T GOES.

    * Download and install the Chipset driver
    * Restart the Inspiron 620 when finished
    * Download and install the Audio driver

  • No sound. SoundMAX and Audio device does not.

    Having a situation on Win xp. No sound.

    Through "Audio device on High Definition Bus" gives Audio Device Manager with a yellow exclamation point and a code 28.

    Try to install the update of readers prove to be fruitless.

    Another piece of information that COULD help is "Soundmax cannot load correctly, you may need to reinstall soundmax" at startup.

    I'm afraid that I have more bullets.

    I think that it is time to raise the white flag and order a set of recovery disks.

    Call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and tell them you need a set of XP Recovery discs for your PC.

    You will need to provide the model number and serial number.

    Cost will be $ 10.  A good price to pay to get rid of this problem.

    You will get two discs... an OS install disc and a disc driver and application.

    You install XP first and then you can autorun disk driver and application.

    If you encounter a cold beer, disc will install all the software and drivers for the PC automatically.

    When it's done everthing should work just fine.

    You can even turn off things you do not want to install before you begin.

  • Using "fit to music" and audio with segments of locking in movie maker

    Is it possible to "adjust music" under the project tab only a segment number of certain audio/video slides in movie maker? The reason is, I want it to fit the music, a piece of audio with only a part of my movie WITHOUT moving the other audio tracks. Whenever I change something with audio or add a new photo or slide, the filmmaker bumps up and down all my audio throughout my film and I have to manually set.

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

  • The sound is fuzzy and distorted with Realtek HD Audio in Windows 7

    Hello

    4 days ago, I bought my computer laptop asus n61ja. During music playback, looks like it's a little blurry, but when I play games, some some sounds (like clicking on sounds and sound effects in the game) gets really distorted. For example, when I played left4dead and left4dead2, the sound effects of the fire are annoyingly distorted.

    I don't think that my speakers to the laptop has the problem because the same thing happens when I plug in the headphones. I tried to upgrade and downgrade the sound driver, but it didn't work. My audio driver Realtek HD Audio 2.48 R version is

    Please someone help me with this.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the answer but Debra advice includes my problem is the following:

    Make sure that your speakers are properly connected to your computer

    I'm sure that they are correctly connected, in which case I have no option to open the folder of my laptop because of the guarantee agreement. I tried my cd of music in other laptops, and the result was not that different, slight distortion. I think that the distortion in the music and other sound effects except those two games, occurs because the SRS Premium Sound technology. When I use Equalizer sound, sounds a bit distorted, but if I disable it, no distortion at all.

    I reinstalled the games, and there was no noise problems at all. I don't know why, but maybe the problem was welcomed after a update for my driver realtek audio hd which I couldn't recognize before.

    Thanks for your advice and help Debra and Palcouk!

  • Clean install of Windows 7 - partitioning and formatting with a new drive

    I tried two installs with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  The first is a straight out of the box and installed in a laptop SATA drive.  Windows 7 has created two partitions, a small partition of specific recovery and system information, and another large partition to install Windows 7 software.  It is very good.

    Then I tried a new installation formattiing the reader as one big partition.  Windows 7 does not divide the disk into two partitions, only one on which the software of Windows 7 has been installed.

    The question: how it installs a Windows 7 for the two partitions on a formatted drive?  Delete the existing partition and then start installation?

    Hello Askit,

    When you install Windows 7, the installation program will by default create a partition of 100 MB with the Windows partition system. The system partition is created to meet a requirement of Bitlocker startup files and Windows files are found on separate partitions.

    When boot you from the DVD to perform a clean installation of Windows 7, the installation program will create the 100 MB system partition in the following conditions:

    • There is not a partition system on the machine
    • The system does not have 3 existing partitions
    • There is space on the disk for the extra partition

    In response to your question, Yes, the best way to get these partitions is to delete the partition and let the windows to their creation.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you

  • Radio Shark no audio with El Cap - fixed!

    Just thought I would post a fix if anyone out there still has a Radio (by Griffin) shark and lost audio when the upgrade to El Cap.

    Some information. After the upgrade to El Cap, I found that my audio Radio Shark had disappeared. The Radio Shark entry was still visible in the sound system prefs and audio actually sound level meter LED-style in moving window of entry prefs, but you could just hear the sound. Even stranger, when Skyping, the person I was Skyping with might the audio of the Radio Shark hea if the application was open, but I could not.

    I went to the Griffin support pages, and they basically said, Hey, he had a good long run, but we do not support it more. I played with the MIDI parameters using the MIDI utility, but not luck. Last night, in a moment of inactivity, I did another search and found a mention of a solution as page 7 of 15 in a long thread somewhere (not here), and much to my delight, it worked for me!

    The fix involved opening Final Vinyl and setting the entry (in the preferences for this program) to shark Radio I left Final Vinyl and restarted the application Radio Shark, and I got audio!

    I just have a final copy of vinyl, but if I understand correctly, it's now free. I would first check the Mac app store, but it is also available on Softonic and Macupdate. I haven't used either of people lately, but it seems that these days, you might also get some these Mackeeper downloads and similar, so be careful.

    BTW, I have NO idea why this Voodoo works in this case, but as I said, he did it for me.
