HP EliteBook 1040 G1 Audio :: Getting Very Low Sound
Oct 16, 2014
I have an elitebook 1040 G1 that I recently bought refurbished. I do get sound but it seems very low. I have checked the settings and they are all set at maximum. Am I missing something?
I have a new HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 running Windows 7 64 bit. The computer can see wireless networks, but when I try to connect to them I get a pop up saying "Wireless: assocaiting" followed by one saying "Wireless: disconnected" and the connection never works. This happens no matter which wireless network I connect to. I know the networks and passwords are correct, because both my iPad and phone can connect to them without issues.
I have updated all drivers via Windows Update and also the SP Support Assistant. I have tried uninstalling the wireless driver and allowing Windows to discover and install from scratch. Nothing seems to work.
I just received a Elitebook 1040 G1 running win7 64-bit and have been installing all the necessary things that i'm going to need for everyday use. Out of curiosity i wanted to get the fingerprint reader set up just to have that as an option if i wanted. After installing Digital persona and the validity driver numerous times to try and troubleshoot this, my laptop still will not recognize the fingerprint reader.
Steps taken: Uninstalled and reinstalled validity drivers multiple times Uninstalled and reinstalled digital persona(plus updates) Checked to see if the biometrics are in device manager and recognized by the machine;which they are
I recently received a new laptop at work (a few of us have) and we are all having the same issue with this laptop. The function keys F8 and F9, which are labeled to control screen brightness, are not working. I have searched many forums and I cannot find a fix.
Product Name: HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 Product Number: 2CE4140876#ABA Windows Operating System: Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit
The screens are so dim it's hard to see the content on them.
HP Elitebook 8540W, HP Docking Station VB043AA#ABA, Windows 7 64-bit; audio out works fine from laptop internal speakers and laptop headphone jack; when I plug speaker cord into line-out on docking station, the sound continues to come from the internal speakers; when I right-click speaker icon and select "playback devices" I see "Speakers / HP" and "Headphones (RTC)" but I don't see any option to switch to docking station lineout.
I have changed a setting on this computer and now my sound does not work properly. I dont know what got changed but the windows sound like the bell and the chime take about 10 seconds to play. i can not use windows media player is said the drived is out of date but I checked and the update said I have the most current software. I did try the windows trouble shooter but it couldnot find a problem. I do have beats audio on a dv7-6b63us.
Okay, well the day before yesterday I was trying to watch Youtube but when I clicked on a video it had no sound. I thought it was Youtube, so I exited the site and thought I'd wait a little bit. So then I went to Spotify to listen to some music. I kept clicking and clicking and nothing was happening. Then I noticed a blue notice at the top that said something about my soundcard not working properly.
I then checked everything on my computer to see if it had sound. Windows Media Player...no, videos on Facebook...nope, nothing was working. At first I thought it was my daughter. I let her watch Youtube when she lays down for a nap. I came in the other day and she was hitting all kinds of buttons on my computer. I stopped her though and everything seemed fine. I also remember my computer updating that day. Could it be that something went wrong with the update? I don't know if that's possible or not.
And also, what is a soundcard. Do I have to buy it or do I download it???
I went to Yahoo answers and someone said to uninstall the drivers. I did that and then reinstalled them and it worked. The rest of that day I had sound on everything except for Facebook. Yesterday night it happened again and the sound has not returned since but my computer sounds are still working. When I logged on the computer made the log in sound it usually makes. I also tried to listen to a video with headphones and it still did not work. Again, I uninstalled the drivers and then re installed them and got nothing.
The sound on my HP Pavilion G6-1a19wm is not working. Sound "does" work when using the audio jack with external speakers. I have tried uninstalling the driver, updating the driver, microsoft fix-it, and troublshooting steps. audio device shows in device manager and is supposedly working properly, mute is "not' enabled. visually all audio related things suggest that the audio is fine and troubleshooting finds no problems..
I have recently bought a new probook450 g2 but whenever i play a video or audio file an interrupt occurs like a buzz after fixed interval, I don't know what to do ......
I am using HP 2000-2313TU Notebook PC laptop with windows 8 64 bit operating system. From the last few days i am facing some problems in audio..when i am opening my laptop the sound system is working well...but when i am not continuing any audio application( busy in some other work..) and after sometime say 20-30minutes when i am opening any audio or video file it is running without any sound..when i am restarting my computer again audio device works...if i am not using the audio files after opening my computer also this problem happens after sometimes when i play some audio files.
I have an HP Pavillion g6 and the sound is not working at all. I tried troubleshooting the audio playback and then it started working. Then i realized only the system sounds started working.
When i play a video or any audio on my browser (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer) it does not work, but when i play a video/audio downloaded onto the pc, it works. Why is that?
I checked all my browser settings aswell and nothing is wrong.
I'm really seriously considering going to buy a hp dv5 1040 today It is the intel p7350 with 4gb ram 320gb hdd and the gf 9600gt Do any of you have any last minute warning. About the faq I previously answered the question in this post. choosing between 6 machines And this hp seems to me this really fits what I want.
By the way I found another Hp dv5 1160. It seems to have exactly the same specs. So whats the difference?
only problom is that i comes with vista 32 ( which can't even use the 4 gb of ram). I later on want more ram ( i guess the hardware allows for 8). How do I go about getting the vista 64 instead? do I buy a new copy, an upgrade or should I bargin the dealer for it allready when I by the pc?
Have Laptop Compaq N610C,P4,512mb ram.windowsxp pro sp3.
Yesterday it was working.I did not install any new hardware or program.I usde headphone to listen music.Today When I played music,there is no sound.I checked the connections.uninstalled the driver and reinstalled the sound driver but no sound.I checked it has all properties on.no mute on.
i have no audio on my laptop. ive tried restarting, ive run my cleaners. im at a loss as to what to do next. i have an hp 2000 notebook with windows 8. my audio was working perfectly fine a couple days ago. i havn't made any changes to my computer. it just stopped working.
My hp laptop model no. is hp 650 and its windows 8 pro...few days back the system sound was off automatically..nor any app nor player was playing any sought of sound...then I configured speakers and tested..then it was alright but now again the same problem happen...i tried the same procedure as previous but it gives an error:
"this device is being played by some other application... please close data application".
But I have checked so many times...bt no other app is open...drivers are also working properly...my laptop is under warranty... I have tried to contact service center of hp but they put me on hold nd no takes the call. I am unable to identify the problem...with headphones also sound is not coming up...
I have hp g6 2312ax, there is no sound in my laptop... I took it to the hp service centre and they said that audio port on mobo is damaged. Motherboard need to be replaced.
I was watching something online when the sound became distorted (has happened before) so turned off G6 laptop and restatred worked well for 20 minutes and then it went all distorted again. Turned it off again and started it up again however this time the sound completely vanished. Tried iTunes, internet, and a movie on laptop and nothing is working anymore. Have checked all the easy sound things making sure I didn't turn it off but nope it all says device is working.
When I connect my laptop to my tv the sound does no come out the tv, but remains coming out the pc speakers. it is not a cable issue as my other hp laptop works fine. i can't find a setting to change it to hdmi audio output.
Ok, I havent had sound on my HP for 8 months. I have done all the troubleshooting I can and I really need to have sound on this PC. I have been working on this all week. Do I need to do a factory restore?? Model XY980UA#ABA, HP Pavilion DV6 Notebook.
Discovered no sound yesterday when I used my laptop. Today I tried to resolve the problem thinking it was a simple task, so many hours later I've discovered others suffering the same plight!
Downloaded all the newest drivers but for some reason, the sound is not right when I listen through the docking station (as I normally do). The sound is tinny.
When I plug my headphones into the actual laptop, everything is fine
I recently downgraded my Acer 6920g from Vista to XP with mixed success...the biggest problem is the sound...there isn't any. Windows XP can't/won't detect the sound card (i think it's Realtek ALC 889), I've downloaded the driver several times, but it still doesn't work.
