Windows 7 + WoW sound problems

Hello, I have recently acquired a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit home edition. It's an HP with Quad AMD Athlon 2 @2. 8 ghz, 6 GB ram, nvidia 9200 graphics and Realtek HD Audio 5.1 configuration. I have 2 Wow installed, version NA on C: and version of the EU on the outside.

Whenever I start reading is WoW, I like to turn off its internal BGM and play music with WMP instead. It worked for me before in my old computer with Vista 32 bit. But he no longer works with 7 - WMP fails and it gives me "Windows Media Player has encountered an error opening this file"-without the given error code, then the 'Web help' button does nothing for me. I tried to play the .mp3 file on a player I play all my videos with place (Media Player Classic Home Cinema with ffdshow audio decoder; very rare that I get an error with this configuration). The file seems to play, but no sound, same change of settings in ffdshow and volume, etc. This only occurs with MP3 - FLAC/OGG/all other format plays very well. I wish I could play with MP3s, although the majority of my music collection is stored with it. I imported even mp3s to my laptop (vista 64) and they all play fine. Wow running by himself and his BGM internal gives no problem as well.

The thing is when I turn off WoW, everything going well again, both WMP and MPC - HC read the files without a problem. Is there a whole corrupted / a few bad compatibility problem/driver setting that I need to check? Blizzard, the creators of WoW, says the game is fully compatible with Windows 7 64 bit, so I don't know what else to do. Please help me! Thank you

Hello MMC91, have seized the latest drivers for your sound card?  I suggest to hit Windows Update first and see if ago listed there, if so install them.  If this is not the case, check the Web to Realtek site.

  • On Windows 7 Ultimate sound problem

    Hello

    I use Creative 4.1 sound system on my PC for some time. But, recently, I reinstalled Win 7 32 bit on my PC again and now only work 4 speakers.

    I tried to install the latest drivers from Realtek HD sound card, but still works as a single. Moreover, when I test the sound through the configuration, etc., all four speakers to emit sounds, but when I start to play a game, or turn on a song, only one works

    To check that all the speakers have any hardware problem, I seconded the speaker wire that runs and tied the other three sons one after one, and they were clearly working since the a slot.

    Before work on the left and three other right and rear left does not.

    So, I made things quite a bit in do.like can define his Quad, even I tried to use 5.1 sound, however changing Control Panel, but each of them has proved to be futile attempts...

    Some people say, you can buy a sound card, but my friend has the same set of things and its four speakers all work if he did not have a sound card.

    In short, all stakeholders work of the aspect material, but the work when I test sound, not not when playing songs etc.

    Kindly give me solution to this problem...

    Thank you.

  • Sound problems. Error code:-5009: 0x8002802b installing drivers

    Original title: problem with headphones from Windows 8.1 update

    I downloaded Windows 8.1 because my computer kept bugging me to do this. Every since then, I had problems with the sound on my computer. I "cancelled" my laptop HP for Windows 8, but sound problems remain.

    I have a laptop of HP 2000-2d19WM. I think the problem is with Realtek. I was advised to uninstall and reinstall realtek online. I've uninstalled it. Now, I can not re - install. I downloaded it from the Web to Realtek website and I get an error to start the wizard. It says Error Code:-5009: 0x8002802b when I do the Downloader. So, I downloaded the new drivers for Realtek via it HP Web site and "cancelled" my laptop HP for Windows 8. The problem is better but not completely gone.

    The sound is really weird and sounds as if I am under water when I use my headset. Even when I listen without headphones the sound is very low, no matter what I do. I'm not a computer genius, but I'm not a novice either so I was trying to find a solution for about 2 days now.

    I am beyond frustrated.

    I think it worked. I tried this but I also tried updating the drivers again and buying a whole new set of headphones. Between those three things, the sound seems to work again. Thanks Aarsh Sahai and thanks to everyone here for your help!

  • Model Satellite L735 - 13 c sound problem

    Good night.
    I have two laptops same home, model Satellite L735 - 13 c and the two I noticed that when you start Windows 7, when you update the database of a particular antivirus virus (if I can not name names) indicates a voice that has been updated, but the sound is cut and heard incorrectly.

    I'm listening to music, then just open a web page, the same problem occurs, regardless of the operation is the same.

    I tried to reinstall the audio driver, but has been updated with the latest version and is always the same.

    He asks if there is a solution or a problem that is under warranty and also occurs in two teams that are the same model and material.

    Thank you very much.

    Ramon.

    Hello

    The sound cut out only if an additional operation has been started: for example loading a Web page using Internet Explorer.
    Otherwise, the sound is ok. Right?

    From my point of view, it seems that this sound problem only appears if the CPU is stressed and some processes are running in the background.

    Have you tried to reinstall the operating system or run the recovery in order to test this question on laptop preinstalled fees? In my opinion its worth a check!

  • Satellite C850-F211 - sound problems

    I bought this laptop 3 months ago and since then, I have sound problems. Today the noise decided to not work and I can't hear a thing. If I put on some headphones or external speakers, I can hear the sound. Can anyone help?

    I'm actually regretting ever buy this model and I do not know why I bought this laptop.

    > If I put on some headphones or external speakers, I can hear the sound. Can anyone help?

    Looks like a malfunction of the internal speaker for me.

    But have you checked the sound settings?
    Go to control panel of-> sound-> playback and check the available devices.
    The speakers in this tab? And if so, the speakers are marked as default device?

    In addition it s worth it to reinstall the audio driver.
    I guess its Realtek sound card.

    So uninstall the driver audio Realtek (Control Panel-> programs) & features-> Realtek High definition audio driver.
    Go to Device Manager and remove the device (Intel audio display) in the region:
    Controller audio, video and game.
    Do the same in the area system devices: here to remove the entry: controller high definition audio.

    So finally reboot the device.
    After restarting again, windows system should recognize the devices automatically deleted.
    Wait that the devices have been installed. Now test the sound.
    If you would get not all sounds through the speakers, or via a headset, install the driver Realtek audio.

    But if this is not enough, I recommend to contact the service provider to check the speakers

  • Windows Vista no sound

    Please read carefully before answering.  Thank you.

    I have a Windows Vista HP m8330f, in which the part of windows sound does not work.  A little more in detail.  The audio device is a realtek HD audio integrated into the map.  The audio device appears in Device Manager.  All levels in the mixer are on and NOT muted.  Settings audio correct 'default' via the control panel are selected and checked.  The interesting part is that I can hear the sound through the media player, media center and iTunes.  This leads me to believe that the material and the audio driver is correct.  So for good measure I uninstalled drivers audio, rebooted, reinstalled, them, still no love.  Then I went to realtek website and downloaded the codecs, restarted, still no new results.  I stepped and ran repair of K-lite codec utility and still no Windows sounds.  When I say windows, I mean the windows default sounds boring and internet explore.  Yes, internet explore has the right flash player and shockwave and other necessary items.  Anyone with useful optinions are welcome.

    TruTech,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    This problem started right after updates or changes to any software, or installing new hardware?

    To make sure that I understand the situation, you can hear sound when you use Windows Media Player, iTunes and Windows Media Center, but not when you use Internet Explorer, or any music not, internet applications, no?

    Have you tried to do a system restore to a point before the sound problem?

    Try to run the System File Checker to verify the integrity of all Windows system files:

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    If you have installed any third party CD or DVD burning software such as Nero or Roxio, they can cause driver conflicts, try to uninstall it to see if that solves this problem.

  • 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.

    My PC (Vista Home Premium) is connected to a widescreen TV with a HDMI cable and antenna lead.  Since we had in 07 big sound worked to record TV Live hi-def with Media Center and play on TV.  Suddenly, probably due to the recent update of windows Media Center, the audiocassette see the TV does not work.  It must be a software bug in Media Center because I can watch internet programming on the TV and the audio works fine.  Even Media Center sounds play fine.  Also the TV recorded see fine audio playback on the PC monitor, the only problem is on the TV. Does anyone have this problem or any idea of a solution?

    Try to change volume settings and see if that fixes the problem.

    1. double-click on the icon of volume control main windows in the taskbar

    2 options-> properties > look for the choice of the mixer device.

    3. Select your tuner > check all boxes

    4 ok

  • MacBook Pro/Windows 7 driver sound issues

    I own a macbook pro, one of the new models of unibody 15 inches and since the installation of Windows 7, I was not able to properly use the microphone (on Windows) and sound acted pretty strange.

    The OS x included with my computer installation cd is supposed to install the necessary drivers on the windows side, and it seems to have done that, for the most part, except that I couldn't use the microphone in a multitude of applications. The control panel "sound" recognizes the microphone and shows that the microphone is receive sounds. The small green level bar next to "microphone" move when I make noise, yet no application appears withdraws all the sounds.

    After a little research, I gathered that the soundcard in these is actually a Realtek HD card and not a card Cirrus Logic, which is what I had drivers. So I tracked the Realtek driver, I thought I needed, uninstalled the Cirrus Logic driver and installed realtek one. However, this realtek driver does not seem to do anything, because the driver is now just listed as high definition Audio Device, which is the standard windows driver.

    Other issues I had with the cirrus logic driver - once I plug the headphones, I can't sound on speakers of the laptop again unless I have restart windows. In addition, if iTunes plays the sound in all other programs in the past and not coming back unless I restart the program.

    I guess I need to know if A) I am not mistaken on the Realtek is the right driver, B) cirrus driver is in fact correct and there is another solution for the microphone and other problems or C) there is no hope.

    Thanks in advance.

    So it seems that my problem now is that the realtek driver does not work. I downloaded the executable version of the driver first and installed, but when windows restarts, the sound icon at the bottom right has a red cross on it and after a quick diagnosis, he told me there was a problem with the driver. So I downloaded the file .zip of the drivers, uninstalled the 'old' and extracted the new and after a reboot, same thing. Red X.

    If I let windows solves the problem, restart, I am back to the driver high definition Audio Device windows and I have no sound from my speakers, that my helmet. And still no microphone function.
