i have a Acer Aspire 8920G and on the side there is an port with the name "HDMI" . If i plug a HDMI cable in from my Ps3 would my screen work as monitor ? so is the HDMI an input or (and) output
i came across the fact that you can only monitor audio if you install the sigmatel audio drivers with XP SP2 compatibility, but now that i wanted to plug my XPS via HDMI to my flatscreen, lo and behold... no HDMI audio as it used to be.
is it possible to have both scenarios or does one cancel the other?
Ive got a an Acer Aspire 8920g and ive just bought a new Seagate momentus 500gb HDD for it.
Is there a way to transfer my windows and all my files and programs etc to the new hdd without having to do a fresh install on the new hdd and installing all my programs etc one by one.
i have a acer aspire 8920g that i got 3 months ago and i have vista 64bit installed in it.i want to change it to xp or even vista 32 because i do not like vista 64 but i think drivers will be an issue since this thing has a driver installed for everything.is there going to be a problem with the drivers?and if so can i find all the main drivers somewhere for it?
I have an Acer 8920G Win 7 Pro which is randomly shutting down only in when connected to 'AC' power. It does not happen when using 'battery' alone or in 'safe mode'. I've tried,investigated, and corrected all overheating issues, cleaned fans, changed AC power supplies, disabled graphics card, to no avail. All drivers are up to date. This has been happening over a period of 3 months now. Can not use the laptop except when battery is charged or in safe mode.
I got a HP laptop, running windows 7 x64 bit Ultimate, and has 8 GB of ram. My tv is crappy now, and want to play my ps3, so, i was wondering if i can plug into my Laptop and get a certain driver that makes the HDMI port act as a input so i can play through my laptop screen, my resolution can go a little over 720p .....
I have Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled (with no installation nor recovery disks delivered).
I accidently hit the arcade button on the cinedash panel, instead of the power button. The computer started directly up into arcade deluxe, after a short install. Nice feature
I thought, and choose to exit arcade through the exit feature. Then I noticed that the computer prepared to hibernate, but instead it shut off after it finished.
After turning the computer on, a small complaint about improper closing the computer popped up, and I choose to start windows normally. Now the boot loader ran, and when I expected the logon screen, instead I met a black screen with a working mouse cursor. I eventually had to force power down, since crtl alt delete didn't work.
Since then, all boot options, safe mode etc leads to the same black screen.
Vista looks like it's going to boot normally then goes to a black screen with a working mouse pointer. The hard disk light just pulses every couple seconds.
I tried extracting the battery but it doesn't work.
I tried to alt+f10 - Vista Recovery page, so it gives me menu called "Edit Boot Options". There is the path to winload.exe and this: "Partition: 2 Hard Disk: b8f0ffa4
[ /NOEXECUTE=OPTIN ]" That's all what I have when I press ALT + F10.
I could type "Enter" = nothing happened "Esc" = shutdown the system "F8" = go to recovery page.
Hit f8:
Goes to a "Vista system recovery" or something like that, i'm not quite sure what its name was. Anyway it had about 6 options, including "Get windows to check for and correct the faults on your disk" in a little bit more high tech talk. And "Restore to a earlier point". Since the "Checking and correct faults" said it was recommended, i thought i'd go for that.
It ran its tool, told me to click the restart button. Runs it again, tells me to restart again.
And now it enters its final state - Its virtually dead :|. If i turn it on, it will go to the black screen, that talks about an improper shutdown, with the options for Safe Mode, Safe mode with networking.. etc. Any of these 4 options all result in the same black screen displaying only the mouse cursor.
I was not trying to install or upgrade nothing, was not trying to change form vista to xp or so.
I have not deleted any hidden partition (as far as I know...)
I recently bought the Acer Aspire E1-432. It runs Windows 8.1. When I use HDMI to watch movies on my TV, the sound is not played by the TV but by the notebook. I looked on the internet for solutions for this problem and encountered two recurring possibilities.
1) Go to sound manager, show disabled devices and select the HDMI as main audio output.
When I go to sound manager and try the above solution, I can not select anything but the default audio. It does not matter if I plugged in the HDMI cable or not nor does it work to select the HDMI source on the TV. The option does not appear in sound manager.
2) Update the HD realtek audio driver.
I tried removing the driver and letting the notebook update the driver itself. Again it did not work. Secondly, I downloaded the newest version of the HD Realtek Audio Driver I could find (6.0.1.7027) and installed over the old version. Again, this did not work.
Any solution, applicable on this type of laptop, that might do the job?
By the way, chromecast works fine, using the same HDMI port. The cable works as well, for a different laptop of mine is able to produce audio with the exact same cable and same HDMI port.
When I plug the computer into my Philips HDTV via the HDMI cable (a cable I know is perfectly good and undamaged), the video pops right up onto the TV. The edges are cut off but I know why that is.
The audio is another matter. The TV says it doesn't have any audio coming in, at all. So I check the Sound applet under Control Panel, to see what it's got to say. Under Sound, I see three devices:
Speakers - RealTek High Definition Audio (this is the computer's built-in speaker) NVIDIA HDMI Out - NVIDIA High Definition Audio Realtek Digital Output - Realtek High Definition Audio
The default is the speakers, and when I plug in the HDMI cable the computer automatically switches to the nVidia HDMI out. When I play something out (I've tried both Winamp and Windows Media Player), the VU meter next to the selected device bounces up and down as if there's sound playing. Yet, despite the volume being near maximum on the TV, there's no sound.
I've tried switching from the nVidia option to the RealTek option. I've tried restarting. I've tried updating the drivers to all the current versions. Nothing works. This is a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation.
im trying to setup my uncles new laptop but i couldnt get any sound to output over hdmi
i disabled the nvidia thing and realtek from the sound properties in control panel then couldnt find how ot make them reappear i managed to uninstall the realtek then restart and it installed it again so i got sound on the laptop
but the nvidia hdmi still hasnt reappeared
should i uninstall it too and hope it will reinstall it automatically
after that how do i make it output sound through the hdmi to his tv
I had tried that already, sadly still stale results with no change. Tomorrow I'm planning on buying different HDMI cables to see if it's a hardware issue, I don't want to take my computer in if it's happening to all three (I read somewhere that it may be the cord itself) .....
Right I have a picture on my panasonic TV but no sound through HDMI i've installed different drivers countless times and i cant see any HDMI option in playback devices.
am i thick and loading the wrong drivers or is this just another problem with this laptop?
like a mouse that zips all over the screen whenever you try and move the mouse right it goes left....
I have an Aspire V3-571. Please see summary below in bullet points:
1. Used to work fine when connected to my TV (via HDMI cable) 2. One night, when laptop was connected to TV, picture started flickering 3. After 20 minutes, HDMI signal cannot be detected from the laptop 4. Updated Intel HD Graphics 3000 driver (Date: 1/29/2014 Version: 9.17.10.3347) 5. Tried using different HDMI cables 6. Pressing Fn+F5 does not do anything
My TV's HDMI port works with other devices when connected to it. What am I missing here? Is there a hardware defect with my laptop?
I just recently purchased an HDMI compatible television, for the purpose of extending the screen on my Acer Aspire E1-510P-4402.
At first, I thought it might have been either a faulty HDMI cable, or television. This is not the case, however. The television works perfectly fine on another computer, using the same HDMI cable.
Since I isolated the problem to the laptop not recognizing it, I tried to reboot my laptop, yielding no result on the second screen.
I also downloaded the latest version of the VGA Driver (Intel HD Graphics) from the Acer driver support site, then uninstalling the driver in Device Manager (and removing the driver files) -> rebooting -> reinstalling the driver (to be 100% certain of the latest version) -> then rebooting again. This also did not work:
I also did the same thing with the Intel Chipset driver, seeing as it may have been a conflict between them. This resulted in no effect.
As a final measure, I also downloaded the Intel driver updater and installed it. The updater told me that a generic version of the driver may not work, and to contact the manufacturer for support with it.
I have a Acer Aspire V5-561G-54208G1TMAIK for some weeks now. I am struggling to get detailed specification about the HDMI connection. Especially, if it will support a 4K monitor (3840x2160).
I have a Acer Aspire V15. When I plug my laptop to my 42" Panasonic the image displayed is zoomed in so I cannot see all the icons and toolbar on my TV.
im having some trouble with this i have an hdmi cable to connect my 8920 to my toshiba model 62HM85 dlp tv. now when i connect it and turn my laptop on and put the input to hdmi. the desktop wallpaper comes up but im not able to see anything else can someone tell me how to get it so i can see everything?
I require some help on repairing a bad bios flash for this laptop. The problem started after clearing the bios from with in windows and then using acer esettings to create another password which would save the bios but it seems it did not save properly and resulted in a bad flash.
The laptop no longer boots up, it just hangs with a black screen.
I have downloaded the updated bios file from acer web page and used various methods for other acer models which use a usb floppy with the crisis recovey disk and rename 114.rom bios file to bios.wph but cant seem to trigger the laptop into booting from the floppy using win+b/esc and fn+b/esc.
I have also tried putting the bios file onto a cd with various different file names but again it doesnt want to boot from cd either.
Purchased my 8920G-8332Q32Bn a few months back and at the time, the GeForce 9650 wasn't available so I settled for the 9500M GS. I find its performance very sluggish and read somewhere that these lappies come with "MXM-II" meaning the GPU's are swappable? Would anyone know of the costs associated and if it's even possible.
I don't know if there's something faulty with my GPU. I installed Microsoft FS9.1 with AF at 4x and AA at 8 and used to average 40fps. Now, under the same settings, same scenery, same amount of scenery, I barely make 15fps. I've tried resetting all settings in FS and the Nvidia Control panel but to no avail. I do notice that the laptop is much much hotter than before.
I recently purchased an Acer 8920g. It came with Vista ultimate 64. I was very excited until after 3 hours of use the screen just went blank. The lights are still on the keyboard but the screen stays blank. I have cut it on and off, removed the battery and tried alt F10 . I finally got an error message the next morning when I opened the lid. [b]Your computer cant come out of hibernation mode
Status: 0xc0000411 Info: A fatal error ocurred processing the restoration data File: hiberfil.sys Any information that was not saved before the computer went into hibernation will be lost.
I Emailed Acer and they cant seem to understand that the screen is blank. They keep giving me directions after I boot into safe mode.
I didnt install anything except avg 8 free edition.
Since the start of this year I own an Acer 8920G laptop. Playing games (WoW) is almost impossible due to the fact the AudioDG process is kicking in randomly eating loads of processor time and messing up the sound.
I've read several threads about this problem but never saw an actual solution. I am NOT going to disable any sounds effects on my laptop nor am I going to disable my microphone. Imho that's ridicilous.
So, before I sent this laptop straight back to his creator(s), anyone knows a) whats the actual root cause of this problem, and b) anyone knows a solution.
I have recently purchased an acer 8930. To be honest the display is pretty rubbish. Alot of backlight streaks.
I have tried to alter the display settings in the nvidia control panel but it won't let me do this. I can slide the bars up and down the % line but nothing on the display changes.
I phoned acer support but they weren't aware of this problem and the guy thought that acer have locked this option.
I was wondering if this is A. A fault with my laptop B. Acer doesn't allow this C. Can do it on the 8920g but not the 8930
I just bought a Aspire E5-571G-583R and I'm trying to get 5.1 sound from it. I've connected the laptop HDMI to my home theatre system which supports both Dolby Digital and DTS, not working. I've also tried to my LG LED-TV which supports Dolby Digital, that's also a no go. I've installed the latest Realtek drivers from your download pages (6.0.1.7250). The problem, as far as I can tell, is that it uses the Intel display sound driver instead of Realtek HD sound driver on the HDMI port. I have tried to change the driver on the HDMI device to Realtek but then I got the win 8.1 version of the BoD.
So I guess I've two questions:
1. Is it possible to force the Realtek driver on the HDMI in order to get 5.1 sound? 2. If not, how do I get 5.1 sound from the laptop?
I have a Acer Aspire V15. When I plug my laptop to my 42" Panasonic the image displayed is zoomed in so I cannot see all the icons and toolbar on my TV.
In Windows 7 on my aspire 0722 I can find no tabs for playback - when I go the Sound settings my only option is the Conexant speakers in the netbook. I get great video though my hdmi cable. I have checked and I am up to date on my Win 7 updates. Is there some new driver download I should be trying?
