HP/Compaq :: SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio Drivers
Aug 19, 2009
i just bought a fatal1ty headset and now im experiencing some minor problems with my sound. obviously the soundcard makes them since i installed the newest software and drivers for the headset.
until now i was using the driver i got from my notebook's download page by HP, version 5.10.1.5220 from 05.02.2008.
now i looked through the net and found quite a lot of these soundmax drivers, but im not sure which one to take..
i learned that the 6.### drivers are for vista, and the 5.10.02.### drivers are for xp x64. so i need a 5.10.1.#### one, preferably newer than 5220. now on the page i found them (www.versiontracker.com), there are quite a lot of these drivers (218 to be exact) and sorting them by the release date confuses me a bit, since the newest 5.10.1.#### driver is 5.10.1.5860, but a bit earlier 5.10.1.6110 was released. so which is the newest one?
and all are from 2008.. are there really no newer ones? on the official soundmax page there are none, even no support section.
the device id is HDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_11D4&DEV_1981&SUBSYS_103C30C5& REV_10024&1D8C0F4E&0&0001, since one cannot identify the exact device from the name...
my DV9774ca I plug my HDMI cable in and watch on TV just fine, but have had to manually switch from laptop speakers to digital output manually. You have to remember to do this before starting Media Player, etc, or have to go back and start again.
Its the Realtek High Definition Audio.
how to get it to automatically switch audio to the digital when HDMI is plugged in?
Is there any reasonable way to get digital audio out of the E6400? IE without adding a usb sound card or something. I thought the displayport would send the digital audio to my Dell 3008 display but does not work.
My Acer Aspire 5542g laptop has Realtek Digital Output as well as default Speakers.
i always listen to my music on my laptop through headphones and i want to use the Digital Audio feature for better sound, i have read other threads on this feature in the forum but they have always mentioned the TOSLink connected to some sort of amp or external speakers. my question is can i use the TOSLink adapter to get digital sound through my headphones?
type of connector needed for digital audio? I have not been able to confirm that my Acer 7720-6395 NB has a dual digital connection. The manual calls the jack a S/PDIF but looks like and allows a stereo plug to work. Talking to the folks at the Sony store claims that the jack could be a dual connector and would work with a headphone or a optical connection. Would love to watch a blue ray movie with 5.1 sound......
I have the following problem: Sony Vaio VGN-FW370J with Win Vista Home Premium 64 with Aptio Utility.
I do have realtek hd audio card and this card should have digital output. My gf has a toshiba satellite with the same card and she has it but I don't. I called sony and they replied (twice with different technicians) that this feature is not available on this model. Both audio cards have the same chip so I suspect that this feature is disabled hw.
It is not a driver problem. The driver does not install the Realtek Audio Manager so within the OS there is no way to enable it.
I have a query about the titled soft/hardware. Firstly, which is it? Is it simply software, or is additional hardware required to run it?
Has anyone had a chance to compare the normal sound with this package, to see if there's much difference? I hear this allows EAX, which I would really like. I'm just not sure what exactly it is! :-)
I would like to listen 24bit music from my Vaio to the iBasso D10 portable amp which I'm going to purchase. This has a USB connection which only supports audio up to 16bit 44.1khz, but through the digital inputs (optical or coaxial) it supports 24bit input.
The Vaio FW11S only has an analogue headphone jack, and a HDMI output. Is it possible to get 24bit digital audio from my HDMI output to the digital inputs on the iBasso?
Is there a HDMI > optical or HDMI > coaxial converter/cable/plug/etc. available, and what would be a very good quality one?
how about this? [url] Will this support playback of 24bit FLAC files through the optical out?
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.
The HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition first caught my attention for its beautiful Peony design. HP teamed up with New York based designer Vivienne Tam to create a fashion forward digital clutch. The Vivienne Tam edition is a compliment magnet where ever you take it and the matching accessories make it even more attractive. However, don't let this fool you as a digital clutch is just a fancy name for a netbook which is what this HP mini boils down to.
Specs:
The specs of the Vivienne Tam Mini are very similar to the ho-hum specs of all the other netbooks out there. However, where most other netbooks use small SSD's or average size 2.5 SATA Hard drives the HP Mini uses a 1.8 inch PATA ZIF HDD.
Intel Atom N270 1GB DDR2 60GB HDD 10.1 LED Back lit LCD display (1024x576)
What's in the Box:
This unit was purchased as a refurbished model from ecost.com so not everything was included. The box included the HP mini, a power cord, 30 watt AC adapter, and Recovery DVD. The only thing not included is the silk like sleeve that accompanies the retail version. However, at $380 USD for a refurbished model versus the retail $700+ the sleeve will hardly be missed.
I have a HP 8510p (XP32) that works really fine. The only thing that I can not make it happen is that whatever I try I can not get the DD, DTS work between my laptop HDMI and my receive. I recieive only stereo (Audio HDMI OUT is selected).
Question: 1) How on earth can I get DTS/DD from my laptop HDMI when i play a mkv with DTS/DD audio?
2) If I connect the laptop to the TV via HDMI and the laptop to my amp via optical, can it make the trick? (the only problem here is that, my laptop does not have optical out, just HDMI and analog, but using a docking station i can have optical out...)
And turn off the 5830 to boost your battery life by a few hours? A full HD 15 inch desktop replacement with light and thin form factor that lasts 6+ hours would be friggen win....
I have an HP DV2700 laptop (core 2 duo T5450 @1.66Ghz, 2GB of ram with vista home premium 32-bit).
I have a Western digital scorpio 250GB HD at 5400 rpm (WDC WD2500BEVS) and I am having some trouble enabling the write catching (and in extension, advanced performance mode.) I have tried accessing device manager and selecting 'enable write caching on the disk' however the policy does not persist once i apply the change. Despite my disappointment, this was to be expected since the comment 'this device does not allow its write cache setting to be modified' can be seen underneath the option. Being a tweaker of sorts with regards to vista, I was certain there is a way to allow such modifications to take place.
As an aside, I wanted to know whether enabling these policies would decrease spin up time? More specifically, decrease the amount of heat emitted from the hard drive. Of those who own DV laptops, this is an understandable request, seeing as the base of the laptop, under stress, becomes uncomfortably hot.
So I got my DV5t in January. I sent it in to Zagg immediately after receipt to have an InvisibleShield put on it. As soon as I started using the notebook I was having trouble with the integrated TV tuner I/O port not making a proper connection (I would have to prop the cable up with something.) After about a week and a half the port completely failed.
So, I call tech support and spend 2 hours on the phone with some person in India while they try to understand what I'm trying to tell them. They took control of my computer a couple of times to remove/reinstall the drivers. After which she opened up WMC and went to "Internet TV" and tried to tell me that the tuner was working properly. So after we got that SNAFU worked out and the problem clearly explained (1.5 hours into the call) she tried to get me to approve the sending of a replacement antenna saying that it was the problem. I explained to her that I had tested both the antenna and the CATV connector and they were both doing exactly the same thing. Eventually I get a repair ticket and send the notebook in to get repaired. Well they replaced my wireless card instead of my TV tuner and sent it back to me. The repair note said that the wireless card had been flagged on a diagnostic. I don't know if the person at the TN repair center couldn't read or what because my customer repair request form (the one I fill out) stated that my problem was with the TV tuner. So I call tech support again and after an hour I get another repair ticket and send it in. Now they are trying to charge me $296 to repair the TV tuner claiming it was "customer induced damage." That's more than a third of the price of what I paid for the computer.
The reason I say don't get the integrated TV tuner is because if HP is going to view any problems with the the tuner port as "customer induced damage" then they are going to try to get you to foot the bill. In my opinion if you want a tuner just get an aftermarket (HP or other).
I actually want the Intel Integrated graphics for the dv7t. This was offered a couple months ago but now the only options are for NVidia chips. Will the integrated graphics ever come back or are they gone for good?
Also, what happened to the regular edition dv5t? The special edition is nice and all, but I don't care about the fancy case. Are the new low-resolution 16:9 laptops taking over completely?
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!
I have updated all my audio and video drivers and when I play a game my audio is great with the subwoofer, but when I play a movie it has very bad audio.
It began with media center, then media player, and finally power dvd. What should I do? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the storm.
Recently 2 weeks back I have bought HP 15-R074TU laptop free dos. I have installed windows7 64 bit. And other required softwares, I have problems with audio which is very low. Video display is not proper, movies are not comfortable to watch without any reason get stucks. I have installed HP recommended video and audio driver but still having problems.
Audio and video drivers for HP 15-R074TU model....
When updating to Windows 7 the audio drivers look like the right ones for the studio 15 or any with the IDT,
it is not it is generic and you will need the updated driver from the Dell support site, it adds the surround and bass that will be missing and I noticed a big difference.
A friend of mine has the dv2000 pavilion laptop with vista installed. He decided to uninstall vista and install xp 64bit. The problem now is that I cannot find the vga or audio drivers anywhere
Some spec: AMD Turion 64 x 2 TL-58, 1.9 GHz, 1.93 Gb Ram, Windows XP Home Edition SP2
I just had to reformat my DV1000 due to a corrupt Windows XP installation. I downloaded the drivers from the HP website but they will not install, it just says FAILURE at the end of attempting to install them.
