HP/Compaq :: Older M700 Laptop- When I Go To Dos No Sound At All
Mar 30, 2009
I have a compaq armada m700 its a p2 400mhz 256 ram and rage pro video, the problem I am having is with the sound in games all sound works great in windows, but when I go to dos no sound at all, but when I am playing like quake or doom I get music but I can't get the sound fx to work, and this is from within windows, also I am running windows 98se. the figured it could be sound drivers but the newest ones I could find was nov 2001
everything else is good but the audio drivers, I get sound in windows but when I play a game I get music just no sound fx.

I am trying to figure out a way to upgrade different components on this older machine the VGN SZ-370P, which unfortunately is not appearing easy to do.
Searches on this and other forums have either not yielded much results, or some with thousands of pages that I couldn't possibly read, hence my questions here,
apologies if they have already been answered.
The original specs for this late 2006 model are 2 Gigs of RAM (max) , NVIDIA® GeForce Go 7400 128 Meg, and a 2.0 GHz T7200 Core 2 Duo processor, FSB Speed: 667MHz.
I have already upgraded the hard drive to a larger 7200 rpm unit, and re-installed a clean, uncluttered Windows XP system as per this most excellent tutorial,
as well as gone dual-boot with Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty.
Can the graphics card be upgraded to the 256-Meg model of same (gaming is difficult with 128 Megs)?Can the T7200 processor be swapped for a faster one, and if so with what gains? (like a T7600 Merom at 2.33 GHz, looks expensive at around $250 on eBay)Is there a way to overclock this machine to try and yet squeeze a bit more performance out of it?Will Windows 7 run on it, or are there missing drivers for some of the hardware?
Having invested in accessories like docking station and so on, I would love to be able to get a bit more useful life out of it, as it had been a lovely machine otherwise.

I have been having persistent issues with sound on my laptop.
The issues are:
If the laptop has not been restarted for more than a few hours, the sound begins to distort. This gets progressively worse as the laptop is left on, to the point that it severely distorts, and even movies, etc. (from my hard drive, not the internet) start to visually skip, in sync with the sound. Restarting the computer by any means, i.e. hard restart, soft restart, etc, fixes the issue temporarily, but as mentioned previously, the sound starts to distort again. At times, online videos skip ever so slightly, though this is not nearly as severe as the sound distortion. (This may not be related, as I have a lousy internet connection, but the sound distorts nonetheless). Additionally, this happens not only through the speakers, but through the headphone jacks as well.
I have googled around, and while I have found that there are known sound issues with the DV6700, none of them seem to match this exactly. However, I have heard that the media chip (I don't know the technical name) is known to cause issues, so I suspect this may be the problem. That wouldn't explain the temporary fix from restarting though...
I have installed/updated the drivers for my speakers, among other things. I also checked my system idle process, because I thought it may be a simple case of stressing the CPU. The system idle process is at 85, however, so I doubt this is the problem. I also e-mailed tech support, but naturally this was no help.

about an older HP Compaq computer I'm running here.
It's a desktop for starters, a Compaq Presario SR1810NX. I've been using it for about two years now, and have run through all of the most current updates (to my knowledge). The only problem is, until tax refunds come back (blah,blah), I won't have a new laptop to game on.
So my question is this, two years ago after I first purchased it, I could run (most) games on their highest setting while still running more than decent FPS. I'm looking at it now, and it can barely sustain anything anymore. What used to be max settings and 60 fps is World of Warcraft is now only lowest settings with a meek 12 fps. Is there anything that could cause this? I've upgraded the ram to 1G, as this is a shared family computer, and putting more money into a pre-built computer isn't my idea of fun. Is it just the two years of wear and tear that have brought it to this condition? Currently, what am I looking at to solve the problem? I can edit the post if my DXdiag is needed.

My hard drive just failed on my pavilion dv2700. I was told I could upgrade from a 5400rpm drive to a 7200rpm. Is this true? And what hard drives do you recommend?

I have a DV5 1010tx, just over 12 months old. While I appreciate this is now considered an old model, I have found the support from HP in providing updates to drivers & software to be appalling. While I'm happy to locate newer versions myself, I'm sure there are many who haven't the experience to do this. For example, the video drivers provided for Win7 are from 2008, and interestingly are not compatible with HP Media DVD for playing BluRay.
Is this simply laziness on part of HP? I don't expect support for my product forever, but at least 2 or 3 years is reasonable.

I've recently noticed a problem with my PC's speakers not working. I'm not entirely sure what causes them to stop working, but if I remember correctly, the first time I remember it happening was after I had my computer plugged into the TV via an HDMI cable. Since then, the speakers seem to come and go. I think restarting my computer usually brings them back, but I was curious if there was another way to fix them other than that and if I could do something to keep this from happening in the future. Also, I'm interested in finding out why this is happening to my PC.

Over the past few weeks, my sound has been going off and I don't know why. Rebooting makes the sound work again. I tried adjusting the power settings to never enter sleep as one person suggested, but that didn't work. So just now I rebooted and then plugged it into my tv using the hdmi and the sound stopped and I had to reboot. I am connecting it to the same tv using the same hdmi cable as many times before.

I have a Inspiron 9300 and checked the driver download page for Vista drivers. There are only drivers for XP. Is there a special link to vista drivers for older models?
I read some people were able to install vista and had problems with sound and video. Does this mean that microsoft drivers work for everything else?

guys, can I use the new 210watt power brick with the M6300? and does it weigh less, or is there an after market solution outthere?
I still occasionally use an old 90watt brick but just for short times as it gets hotter than hell.
I'm trying to cut down travel weight, hence the new brick.
Looking ahead I think my next laptop would be something like the M4500 (dropping down a size for mobility) or something from HP. I don't game on laptop anymore, well nothing more than old titles, so just need fast CPU and good screen and something better than integrated.

I have a Sony Vaio 17 inch full HDMI laptop using Vista. I have been using a HDMI cable connected to my TV for a few months now all working fine yet today for no apparent reason the sound has started coming through my laptop rather than the TV. I have gone to the control panel and tried switching the default sound to the realtec digital however this did not work and I ended up with no sound at all.I have tried two different players both VLC and Zoom player.

When the laptop is on and I pick it up to move it I would often hear a loud CLICK sound coming from the HD. It had me freaked out that something was loose or that the heads were scratching the platters.
I just came across an article explaining what this noise has been. It is the sound of the read/write heads parking because of the "Sudden Motion Sensor" built into the laptop. It senses the rapid movement when I pick up the laptop and then it parks the heads to prevent scratching the platters... that is the click sound of the heads parking.
The sensor is a tri-axis accelerometer that detects sudden changes in "position and accelerated movement".
Anyways, I tested this to see if it was the "sudden motion sensor" parking the heads:
- first I confirmed that the sound would still occur when picking up the laptop and tilting it quickly while still on
- then I checked the sensor's settings to see if it was really on by running a command I found in the linked article.
- then I turned off the sensor (that command is also in the article).
- then I tested by picking up the laptop again and tilting it quickly...
no more CLICK
I enabled the sensor again because it is better to have it enabled than to risk scratching a platter if I drop the laptop. I'm just happy to have found the source of the CLICK and to know it wasn't a faulty HDD.
Here is the article:

since the past week, whenever i plug my headphones into my laptop sound comes through BOTH the laptop speakers and my headphones. It was working perfectly fine last week. My laptop doesn't have a Realtek driver, it has IDT with beats. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the latest drivers, and if I had realtek i would be able to change the settings.

Within the last couple of weeks, the sound quit working on my laptop. Â Since purchasing, I have been able to mute the sound and turn it back on with no trouble, but now when I unmute the sound, nothing happens. Â The sound icon and the Volume Mixer all show that the sound is working and is set at the highest volume, but nothing comes out. Â Given that this laptop has beatsaudio, it's frustrating.

First want to say hi since this is my first post here, been a Thinkpad user for years(a regular member on thinkpad forums) but it died last week so I picked up a very nice D620 last night. So from now on you'll be seeing a lot of me here
I got a great deal on a D620 w/2Ghz Intel Core Duo & 2gb of DDR2 ram,
it's coming with XP Pro but I've been running Windows 7 here on my Dell Desktop since around February(RC/beta version then bought Ultimate version when it was released) and I have to say I like it a lot and would love to install it on the D620 when it comes,
has anyone here installed Windows 7 on their D620 and if so and have any driver problems or issues of any kind??
Thanks in advance and sure nice to be here...
