I have a DV2608ca, with intermittent sound issues. One time I'll boot and the sound works fine. Another time I'll boot and the sound doesn't work (the hardware won't even show up in device manager). This happens on Windows 7 and it also happened when I had Vista installed.
I have done everything I can think of. Drivers are up to date. Its like the hardware is recognized sometimes and not others.
My computer is HP Compaq 7900p small. I bought new graphics card which is Asus AMD HD6450. When I test it I saw problem - no sound.
When I click on Sounds tab, I see that AMD HDMI Output-AMD High Definition Audio Device - not plugged in and I couldn't change it to default device. When I troubleshooted it, problem was that one or more audio devices isn't running.
I was searched in google for solution, and found it that I need to change in BIOS from DVI port to HDMI port, but in my comp BIOS version is 7.11 and I don't see where it would be changed.
Only what I did was that I swapped integrated audio to enabled then I get sound from my speakers, but AMD High Definition Audio Device still isn't plugged in. How to change it to default!
My 1420 has usually performed OK. In the last couple of weeks my screen will turn into what looks like a digital puzzle. Then goes out completely , turns bluish/ black and cannot get any image.
Re-booting doesnt help. The screen will come back eventually. Contacted Dell chat today and they want to send a tech to replace lcd. As soon as I got off, the screen was fine again Will the tech still replace the screen if it`s working when he gets here? .

I tried a quick search but didn't come up with anything...
On my e6400, once in a while the wifi connection is intermittent and drops out for 10-15 seconds, comes back for a while, then drops out again. This doesn't happen all of the time, but is happening now as I type this out with it on my lap.
I'll admit I haven't really tried to diagnose. This has the following wifi card:
Dell Wireless 1510 802.11a/g/n Draft Mini Card
I have one device, a 3DRobotics PixHawk autopilot, which connects intermittently via USB to my E6410. All other USB devices, flash drives, cameras, wireless rcvr etc. always work fine. This one device does not. It only connects occasionally and usually does not. The failures issued by the device vary.
If I hook the device to my Asus X53U, it connects every time. The Asus is extremely slow and I really need to reliably connect to the Dell.
Note: The E6410 contains an upgrade to an i7 720QM quad processor.
I'm running a Dell XPS M1330 with Windows 7 x64. I am finding that I get intermittent BSOD (error code 124). I've tried multiple drivers, multiple installation discs (Home Premium, Ultimate) and I've even swapped out:
CPU, RAM, WiFi Card, Hard Drive.
I just can't get rid of this intermittent blue-screen and the error code doesn't help at all. Googling it shows that it's a general hardware failure that you usually get from overclocking .....
I recently upgraded the CPU in my Acer Aspire 3050-1150 to a Turion XL-56. The first bootup was a breeze, and Windows Vista Home Basic recognized the new chip no problem. Temps ended up being cooler than before the upgrade.
Later that day, comp just shut down. I tried to reboot...comp started but shut off a second or two into loading windows. Next boot attempt the on/off switch wouldn't work at all...appeared dead. I waited a few minutes, took out the AC adapter and windows booted. Next time at bootup, similar pattern, but wouldnt boot even with the AC adapter taken out. This time it booted with the battery out and AC in.
Similar pattern at every bootup...false starts, shuts down at various points, but then eventually boots up after several attempts. I have just been leaving it on, in sleep mode when not in use. I am very afraid of doing a windows update which requires a reboot, so I haven't been doing that.
Aspire 9410 no operating issues but sometimes when booted only black screen Whenever this happens, I connect an exterior monitor and then the screen on my comp pops back on and will stay on even after I disconnect the exterior. It doesn't do this all the time and will flicker (rarely) when in use but never goes completely out when in use. Anyone know why this is and how I can get rid of this problem permanently (outside of getting another computer!)
View 12 Replies View RelatedSymptoms: Laptop switches off unexpectedly; unexpected failure to charge battery; random changes in brightness. Messages appear such as: "This AC adapter may not provide enough power to your Lenovo computer. Please reconnect the proper AC adapter"; "Battery 2: There is an error"; Do you want to switch to 'Airplane in-seat power plan' (if this option is enabled in Power Manager).
This is why I think the power connector is to blame: I opened Power Manager to the Battery tab and also ran BatteryInfoView by Nirsoft. With the power connector firmly plugged in at the back of the laptop and with "90W AC adapter is attached" showing in PM, moving the connector slightly from side to side often triggers one of the symptoms. The two apps then indicate that the AC adapter is no longer present and that charging has stopped. In some cases vibration due to typing or moving the laptop is enough to trigger a symptom.
Supporting evidence: After I taped the power adapter's output cable to the laptop so the plug cannot easily move in its receptacle I found the symptoms stopped (see photo).
Summary:This is a serious annoyance. It means I can't rely on the battery being properly charged when I need it, or that the machine will stay running when I leave it unattended.

I am having an issue with this laptop (product number 15-n019wm) where frequently but intermittently network connectivity will cut off. I ran a Microsoft troubleshooter (results below) that said it fixed the problem, but the problem always . I tried a Ping in the command line when this was occurring for www.yahoo.com and it came back "ping: transmit failed. general failure." These issues happen when I am wired or wireless, and when I am having the network connectivity problem, all other devices on the network can access the internet just fine, so it is an issue with this device specifically.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was given a Dell Latitude E5440 and a docking station for my work. I brought in a wireless mouse and keyboard that I use for input (the reason for mentioning this will become evident later). The computer and dock were NIB and are ~ 2 months old. I have a Dell external monitor plugged into the dock via a DVI cable, and use it as a secondary monitor.
One thing I noticed early on with this setup is that the interconnection between the computer and dock is 'flimsy', at best. If I move the computer/dock on my desk by sliding it around, I lose connection and the external monitor image disappears.
My current issue is related but a bit different, I think. On 3 separate occasions in the past couple of weeks, the notebook screen has gone black without warning and the system has shut down. Once I was able to get the system back on, I was able to determine that the cause was that the battery had drained to 5%, and the system had shut down.
What I find odd is that this has happened while the unit is on the dock. What is even more odd to me is that, apparently, while the notebook has lost power connection to the dock, the video connection to the external monitor remained in tact. That is, in fact, the main reason I did not notice that the battery was draining. That, and the fact that I was never shown a warning that the battery was getting low and I should find an outlet. So, only the power connection pin or pins of the dock appear to be affected. This happened last night when I left for home. I had not touched the computer all day, since I have the wireless keyboard/mouse I mentioned above, but I did shut the lid to put the system into sleep mode. However, during the night, it apparently shut off because, the next morning, when I went to turn it on, I was greeted with a black screen stating the system had shut down unexpectedly and did I want to boot into Safe Mode. Upon booting, both PowerPoint and Word prompted me to 'recovery' my files that had been opened when the power was lost.
Questions: Why I would not receive a warning from the PC that the battery was getting low, so that I could either check the power connection or have time to gracefully shut down. That is much more preferable than the system behaving the same way it would if I had simply removed the battery when it was on.
I have got a new Dell Inspiron 3521 i5 with 4GB RAM - 64 bit OS - Windows 7 - Service Pack 1 Laptop, everything works good except, the problem with my Wi-Fi Connectivity.
The issue I'm experiencing is with the Internet connectivity, my Wi-Fi connectivity loses frequently and I get message saying "Limited Access", and gives me an option to reconnect it manually which is a bit disappointing. .
Rest all works pretty fine, I'm satisfied about it. Just this error, disappoints me.
The troubleshooting I have tried so far is -
1) Resetting router for 30 seconds and restarting it - did not fix my problem.
2) Checking firewall settings - did not fix my problem either.
3) Tried virus check as well, but no fix so far.
The touchpad on my Inspiron 15z freezes-up a few times a day; the cursor suddenly won't respond and buttons stop working. Restarting the machine usually fixes the problem, until the next time...
View 10 Replies View RelatedI installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my HDX 18t Notebook which I received this week. I am having problems with the Audio, it slugish and makes my PC very slow at times, pushing up the CPU Resources to 100% and freezing up the PC. I've googled the problem and MANY people have the same issue with the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC Driver.
I've also tried to download the latest driver (sp43288) without any success, I still experience the same problem. I've read on this forum [url]
that some people had success with the sp42549.exe driver, at first it worked for me, but now I experience the same problem.
Ever since I have had my HDX 16t I have been plagued with problems with the audio acting weird in different ways.
For example, like several other users have probably experienced is the 50% CPU usage from the STacSV.exe process, which is related to the headphone jacks.
I have gone through so many different driver version of the audio drivers trying to fix the problem. I have also tried the generic drivers that come with Windows, however none of those drivers works flawlessly. I have tried reinstalling Windows many, many time but that makes no difference.
I have even though through some massive threads such as this one [url]
I started having this problem recently after changing some things from starting up using services.msc and I think I disabled something I was not suppose to, before I did any changes when I lowered the volume on the HDX I would actually see the graphics for it, but now I am not able to, and also I don't think I am able to control the Bass & Treble using the touch controls, so anyone using and HDX can you tell me what services I need in order for this to work,

View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed the update for IDT HD Audio (it prompted me to in windows update) and I have been disappointed.
My most important problem: The audio sounds fine though the built-in speakers, however the sound though my headphones (provided by the Independent Dual Headphones profile) is inexcusably quiet. At max volume, it is only at comfortable listening levels.On the other hand, I am glad that it finally switches profiles automatically when I plug in a device via mini-jack.The second issue is the "SRS Premium" feature not working properly: I bought my laptop before they started doing that whole thing, so mine does not have an SRS badge by the speakers like others I have seen, but the update gave me the feature so I just expected that it would work. Thing is, the sliders are all messed up, I can't get it to stay at the percentage that I set it at (screen/app refreshes reset the sliders back to 0%). And even at that, if I manage to get a slider up to 80% whatever, it makes no difference in sound. I tried changing songs in case it wasn't real-time updating but that didn't work either.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just recently started playing around with the TV tuner on my HDX18. I'm using the digital antenna for the cable source, and the Mediasmart TV software. While I'm recording a show, it plays fine live. But when I play it back, the audio starts getting further and further behind, the longer the show plays. I recorded House the other night, and by the end of the episode, the audio was several seconds behind the video.
This seems to happen on any channel I record.I also wanted to see if anyone knew why my local CBS station (WJZ Baltimore) is the only channel that doesn't display in the list.
My windows package died on my hp nx6325 recently, and as I had purchased the machine secondhand, from a private seller now unavailable for comment or advice, I stripped the partition clean, then installed another windows xp build...
I have re-installed the drivers for the touchpad, graphics, broadcom wirelass card...but the audio drivers fail to install and give me sound, because they all get stuck at the end of the installation routine and present me with an error of
'unable to find HDA ausdio bus driver'
To remedy this problem, i read that I should install a separate HP driver called
sp26334. But when I try to install that, i am connected to the HP area online, and then told that as I do not have the same XP operating system that my laptop was originally sold with, that the installation process is now aborted.
I have all drivers except audio drivers working on my dv2940se running on XP. audio drivers for XP for dv2940se?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a HP dv7t. Works great but on occasion (twice a week or so) I get an error message on startup that IDT Audio has closed due to an error. The error message is the typical Windows Vista error message that you receive when a program unexpectedly closes down. Because of this, I have no audio from my speakers until I restart my computer (headphones do work though). The IDT Audio Settings program that runs in my taskbar is still there, so that didn't close.
I am running the latest driver from HP's website: 6.10.6087.0 A
i am the proud owner of a brand new HDX18T. Everything seems to be functioning fine except the following:
Whenever I plug in headphones, the audio from the PC speakers continues to play. I can hear everything in the headphones AND the PC speakers at the same time. I spoke with an HP support tech who suggested reloading the driver which I did. The problem remains. I am hoping that this is a software setup somewhere that I just haven't found yet,
I am just now getting around to using my DV5t that I purchased back in January. The system is still configured *exactly* as shipped from the factory.
One of the first things I wanted to do was to test its ability to play DVDs, etc when I am on the road, so I hooked it up to a 32" LCD TV via an HDMI cable. The display was recognized just fine, and I configured dual view with the LCD TV as the second monitor.
When I dropped a DVD in and fired up Windows Media Player and HP Quick Play, I realized that I needed to tell it to use the speakers on the TV instead of the internal speakers.
But when I went into the Sound control panel to make the change, the device "NVIDIA HDMI Output - NVIDIA HDMI Audio" showed as 'Not Plugged In' and the device only appeared when "show disconnected devices" was checked..........
I have two older notebooks in the house that have the exact same audio card in them as the newest notebook that I have has, namely the IDT audio card.
There seems to be one thing that different between my notebook and the two others, my notebook seems to have something called "SRS Powered Premium Sound".
So I decided to take the same software that is used on my notebook and installed it on the older notebooks thinking that this would enable the SRS on the older notebooks but that doesn't seem to be the case.
What is going on with the SRS? Is it software? Hardware? A flip of a software switch?
I've been having some problems hooking up my girlfriend's dv5 to our TV. It no longer plays audio over the HDMI connection.
I mostly use VLC player to play HD content and at first it worked, with some tweaking. I had to disable and enable the audio track in VLC and then it would play through the TV. Now, it no longer works. In the audio control panel, or whatever its called (Vista), it says the HDMI device is enabled, but nothing seems to be using it.
