Why my laptop's sound plays without nothing open

Similar Questions

• Device connect and disconnect sounds play when NOTHING is connected!

  Hello

  I am running Windows Vista x 32 on my Dell Inspiron 1525. The problem is that the device connect sound, immediately followed by the device disconnect sound, playing intermittently even when not a single device is connected. I have already extracted 1 million solutions online, and here's what we can exclude:

  • Still, she does when no devices are connected, so it is not a loose USB device.
  • Does it by chance; I can't predict when the sounds will play, and there is no evidence in the event viewer I can link to this problem.
  • My laptop does not have Bluetooth, so it's not just trying to pick up a network.
  • I've updated all the drivers I can think and who has been recommended by others. They are all to date. I have also each service pack installed.
  • It is a customized, sound scheme so that these sounds are ONLY related to the device plug or unplug, respectively. I even went through all the sounds in the profile just to make sure I didn't accidentally double up.

  The only other thing relevant I can offer is that I actually just sitting there waiting for the sounds to play while looking at the Device Manager. I got all the closed lists, and when sound plays, the "network adapters" list opens. Yet once, I checked to make sure that all of these drivers are up to date, but it still plays. Please help, I'm going crazy! Thank you in advance!

  BTW, even if I can put up a good show to know what I'm doing with a computer, I'm not that well versed in techno-parler, please dumb down your solutions. Thank you. :-)

  Hello

  That description makes it sound like the issue is a network adapter that is enabled - right click either the
  Interface NETWORK (wired) or peripheral card WiFi and turn OFF - which ever you use and see if the noise persists?
  I look in Device Manager is a good idea.

  Is it a PC or a laptop - card integrated or add-on/in? If a PC off ALL power and remove and reinstall
  all cards and cables on both ends (in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight). Not much, you can
  do this with a laptop, unless WiFi is external but for PC or laptop, you can turn off the edge
  WiFi (if she has that) and use an external device.

  I hope this helps. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

• Why my laptop keeps closed down without notice?

  Every time when I use my computer laptop just close automatic. But before closing it down hear some loud sounds then just closed. What can repair? Is a hardware or software problem? Thank you and please help...

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

  For a laptop on everything that you can do is reinstall the memory and clean the vents (try adding a)
  small fan as a test).

  This sounds like material so if the above does not help you then probably need help

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Windows sounds play do not.

  I'm running a Windows ME OS and it is all nice and all until yesterday. I'm sure that all my drivers are correctly installed and properly configured devices. The strange thing is, multimedia files such as .mp3 or .avi files play without any problem. But the streaming of YouTube videos does not give me sound and Visual. Windows sounds disappeared also that IE - no sound when opening the file, Pinball is not any audio, from windows no sound even if a file has been selected as the startup sound.

  Any ideas as to why it happened?

  Hello

  Given that Windows Me is a one off sale product, Microsoft does not support Windows ME, and Microsoft does not guarantee the changes made to the system.

  However, you can try to run the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the system and check if the problem is resolved.

• Why some DVDs will not play in my computer DVD player?

  I have a small collection of commercial DVD movies.  Most of them come from the place of the U.S. market, and some come from Asia... He play ALL these DVD in my Phillips DVD player that is connected to my TV.

  But only some of these DVD will play in my DVD player which is in my computer Dell Inspiron 531 with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.  This computer has a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive.

  Some of the DVDs that will play on my computer are the American market, and some of them are of the Asian market, so I don't think that this has nothing to do with why some of these DVDs will not play on my computer.

  DVDs that play fine in my Phillips DVD on my TV player that will not play on my computer don't yet seem to close at play on my computer.  The DVD that will play on my computer liquidation (you can hear the noise) in the DVD player in 20 seconds and they start playing automatically in Windows Media Player... but I welcomed all others who won't have to sit in the DVD player for several minutes each in my tests and nothing happens... There is no wind sound and all nothing is happening on the computer screen.

  This doesn't seem to be a problem with the driver software for the disk hard because some of the DVDs will play.

  None of these DVDs are buckled and all of them are clean.

  I tried two or three times test each of DVDs that won't play, the removed from drive and put them back in.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hi Dale,

  Although I never had no problem with the DVD or the CD I burned on PC, I think you're going to probably the same thing, that I've been with this internal DVD/CD player, is not a software problem, but just the characteristics of a lower quality DVD/CD player, and it isn't necessarily the symptoms of a dying man in car , but just a stock car low quality that some computer manufacturers cut corners with.
  The drive in the computer that I was referring in this thread is a DVD/CD SAMSUNG HD161HJ SCSI disk drive. Which may or may not be identical or similar to the reader, you have problems with, but the computer on which the reader is underway is a Dell Inspiron 531.
  Through the information that I've gathered on this thread and on another forum, I came to the conclusion that it's just a cheap player who gives intermittent performance recognizing various DVD, but as I said, the drive I troubleshooting always recognize DVDs and CDs that I burned in it... It was just the DVD movie that I have problems with.
  I dug my loyal reader DVD LaCie and plugged and I had no problems with him acknowledging and play ONE of my DVDs on this machine, which proves that the problem has nothing to do with the software system or DVD player software, as in the case suggested by someone else on this thread.
  Just buy yourself a Firewire drive or USB-2 DVD decent and you're probably fine.

• Laptop crashes when playing music

  I have a Sony Vaio F2 series laptop PC

  Intel Core i7 (3.1 GHz)
  6 GB of ram
  NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M
  Drive BlueRay
  This happens especially when I'm streaming music via beatport or play via itunes. The song gets little choppy, then suddenly the computer shuts down. He sometimes goes to a brief blue screen other that's just turns off completely. I ran a system restore and uninstalled norton and installed most of the security and he has always done, so I uninstalled and installed avast and it always does... Computer seems to work very well when on Skype. Suggestions, I think it might be a sound driver and nothing serious.

  Hello

  1. do you get an error message?

  2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

  Method 1:

  Keep the computer in a clean boot and check the status of the issue.

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Note: Please, go to step 7 of the Kb to maintain the computer to a normal startup after you fix the problem.

  Method 2:

  Try to update the graphics card in Device Manager. If the driver is up-to-date, you can also check with the manufacturer of the video card for the latest available drivers that are compatible Windows 7. For more information about updating a driver in Device Manager, see the link below:

• Satellite A100 PSAA9C: How to do to record sound played by mixer

  I have a Satellite A100 PSAA9C TA902C. (This is my 5th Toshiba laptop)

  My last was able to do the following: play music written by an author of music, which is through the midi mixing table, and enroll as a wav by Blaze Audio. On the last machine, A25-S279, I was able to select the entry list SW Synth. This console is not available for selection on the A100.

  I contacted Realtek. She was told that this feature is not supported by Realtek ALC861 Audio device installed in the A100 for.
  The last driver has been installed.

  It is very difficult to believe that an edition of media machine has these restrictions. I never met this problem on a computer before.

  What I want is to record from any device. But the system won't let me choose SW Synth. There is on the exit list. Not the entrance.

  Anyone has a suggestion how to record sound played via mixer to a wav recorder?

• No sound plays while the Plugin is active

  Hello. I use Windows 7 (64-bit I think) with Firefox 35. For some reason whenever I have the 'Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.257"activated plugin, it is not all the sounds coming out of my spreakers or a helmet. This issue has been ongoing for some time and has a problem with all websites, including Youtube, Gamespot and contraction. Oddly enough, whenever I have to disable the plugin, the sound works great for Youtube, but most of the other sites will require I have activate the plugin, and then no sound plays. Also rather strange, videos Youtube still playing while the plugin is disabled, just without the sound. Initially, I could solve this problem somewhat by turning the top of middle volume of the computer to the top, but this does not seem to help more.

  Can I have some help with this? Thank you in advance.

  I think it's a bug known, where Flash Player is not allowed to write volume preference to the registry and so it does not stick, and if the cursor always gets the value 0.  This problem is specific to Firefox, so using IE or Chrome would solve it outright.

  When you have an instance of Flash running which is supposed to play a sound, click on the volume icon in your taskbar and that there should be a column of Flash Player when extend you.  My guess is that the cursor is turned off.  You can slide it up and it will work, but I'm sure that when you exit Firefox, he goes back to 0 again.

  It is fixed for a period of time, but she came back and it has been in the queue for a while.  It is attributed, is just a matter of someone if it works again.
