We just built a computer yesterday and as we plugged in the speakers on the 7.1 audio on the motherboard, there was no sound! we checked control panel>hardware and sound>sound> and it says "no devices found". we downloaded sound drivers from "realtek", installed it, restarted, still a no go! but as we plugged in the usb headset, voila, there was sound! what we dont understand is why wont the 7.1 audio channel work on the motherboard?
I completely formatted my computer to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit from Windows 7 Home Edition x64, I put in the correct product key and then when I attempted to connect to the internet I couldn't because I don't have the correct drivers.Back when I used to use Windows XP I put a little CD in and then installed the drivers from Device Manager but now with Windows 7, I put the CD in and I can't install the drivers. They show up with a tiny symbol with a yellow exclamation mark on it (it was like this too back when I used XP, but I had no problems then,).
The uninstalled drivers are these:
Base System Device Base System Device Ethernet Controller Network Controller SM Bus Controller
Also, if this helps my laptop is an Acer Laptop.
Windows 7 Home Premium AMD A-Series Quad-Core Processor A6-3400M - 4MB cache, 1.4GHz 15.6" HD 1366 x 768 pixel resolution - 6GB DDR3 SDRAM 500GB hard drive integrated Super-Multi drive 5-in-1 card reader AMD Radeon HD 6520G Graphics 802.11b/g/n WLAN Gigabit LAN
When I double click on the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar the Bluetooth Devices window comes up, the green bar loads to 99% and nothing happens, even though I have 2 turned on Bluetooth devices near the dongle. I have also tried using the software (BlueSoleil) that came with the dongle, but that doesn't work either. All the devices in the device manager are installed correctly (no unknown devices). I am using Windows 7 Premium.
I've been having this wierd problem since a few months now.Ever since I reactivated my onboard sound card (I needed to do this since my mic was making wierd noises in Skype) in BIOS one of my playback devices disconnects randomly from the list, but reappears after a restart.This is very annoying as I need that card to use the really good equalizer in my TV which makes my speakers sound great.I have three sounds cards: AMD High Definition Audio Device (From GPU, used for my speakers) <-- This is the one that disconnects ASUS Xonar Essence STX (For music production and headphone listening) SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio (Used for microphone) Facts:
1. The sound card still appears and seems functional in Device Manager
2. The sound card still appears in Playback Devices, but in the "Disconnected Devices"-list
This is what I've tried:- Reinstalling drivers Deactivating/activating devices in Device Manager Installing older drivers I know my way around windows so there's no need to be beginner friendly, I'll ask if I don't understand.
I need sound to come out through my hdmi AND the headphone jack at the same time.Under playback devices I have AMD HDMI sound and Realtek High Definition audio. Both devices work when I check them - just cant get them both to work at the same time
Basically, every time i plug a USB device into my pc, be it mouse, keyboard, HDD or memory stick, the computer makes the normal 'dun dun' sound, but it then continues to make a 'dudududun' noise, occasionally continuous every 10 seconds or so.Is there a problem with the mobo, USB port, drivers or a combination of all 3. Should this be an issue i should wory about or not?
I have USB speakers and today bought a USB headset. I can't seem to get them to both to work at the same time when plugged in. I usually like to keep the headphones around my neck while using the mic, but listen to my nice Bose speakers. When it gets to be late at night, just put the headphones on and turn off the speakers. Either way, the mic needs to work at both times.
They are both plugged into USB slots in the back of the computer.
get my sound recorder reliably working. Each time there is a hassle to get it back running and sometimes it never finds a recording device although my laptop has a soundcard with stereo mix and an internal mic. I had both already working, recording from Stereo Mix and recording from Internal Mic., but I often have to re-estavblish a setting. Rt now although I select any recording device itll give me ano device found� warning. If I plaback a file everything works fine, but the Sound Recorder can�t record it today.
If I rename audio devices by the method indicated below, will there be any negative repercussions? I would assume that programs don't use those names to identify devices, but I want to double check.
I recently went into my computer to install a Corsair H80 Water pump for the GPU. Anyhow, after i connected all the cables and turned on the computer again i did not have any sound. Even though im not an expert with computers, i'm pretty sure all the cables are connected right (but there is always a possibility i screwed up there).I do have sound devices, that is not the issue. After the first pc boot i had the Realtek digital output (realtek high definition audio) as the sound device. I went into the control panel and pressed sound. The previous audio device (that i had and was working) was there, but stated as "Not plugged in".So, my computer does not detect or react as i connect any headsets nor speakers. I also checked the audio in the mixer to see that it "plays sound" which i can confirm.I have searched the web for people with the same issues and tried a few "solutions" but none of them worked for me.They were:
1. Uninstall and reinstalling the drivers 2. Making sure i got the latest versions of the drivers 3. Turning on the front jack panel in the Realtek HD Audio Manager, which resulted with the speakers apparing to be connected and works according to the computer but still no sound. 4. Tried different speakers and headphones.
After trying several things im starting to believe it might be me who failed at connecting the computer. But if so i have no idea how to fix it, as it does not matter if i connect the audio cable instead of the HD audio cable or if i leave them unconnected.My os is Windows 7 Ultimate.I got an Intel motherbord DX58SO and my sound device/card is Realtek high definition audio?
for awhile I was constantly getting a message from windows saying my USB bandwidth was exceeded when I had my usb devices hooked up. So being the idiot I am I disabled the USB reserve or whatever that windows has in its USB devices section. Now when I plug any USB device in my computer windows doesnt notice it or do anythingIm not the most tech savy person ever, but does anyone know how to fix it?
I am having problems getting MTP devices to connect to my computer.Originally I had this problem with my Canon T1i, so I bought a memory card reader.Now the problem is occurring with my Google Nexus 7 Tablet.Other USB devices like keyboard, USB drives, mice... work fine?I plug the USB device in, it attempts to install and then I get a "Device driver software was not successfully installed" for MTP USB Device.Typical error message in Device Manager:Quote :This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
Such as a mouse, a mobile, or an external drive.I mean make them visible (in My Computer) even though they're not connected so it's easier to remember what devices I use. My memory is awful, don't ask.Obviously I know I wouldn't be able to access the files unless the devices were connected, but the point is to make their icons show up as if they were connected even though they won't actually be of any use.
i have an acer aspire 7745 laptop and when i use the usb connections my computer does nothing it doesnt recongise that any device has been plugged in. troubled shoot installed new drivers and check devices everything says its fine?
I've just bought a new computer and put it all together, installed drivers etc but no sound is working.If I go to Control PanelHardware and Sound it says "no audio devices are installed".However, if I go to Device Manager, under "Sound, video and games controllers" there are 4 instances of "NVIDIA High Definition Audio"Now I guess thie Nvidia drivers might work through the HDMI connection on the GPU, but my soiund setup is with the old audio jacks that plug in to the back of the motherboard.I tried uninstalling the nvidia audio drivers in device manager but when I rebooted they just installed themselves automatically!
So I went to my event viewer, and this is what it says whenever it's happened the last couple of times:
Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
The client was unable to validate the following as active DNS server(s) that can service this client. The server(s) may be temporarily unavailable, or may be incorrectly configured. 68.94.156.1
And I went back through older logs of when the same thing would happen, and those two were the ones that popped up the most. However, this also popped up from time to time:
Name resolution for the name www.microsoft.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
Name resolution for the name www.australian-charts.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
Now, I know my way around a computer, but this internet talk is pure "gibberish" to me, for lack of a better word.
Additional information: The connection to my router is wired, not wireless. My PS3 and my laptop can stay connected/have never dropped a connection, while my desktop does it enough that it's beginning to bother me.
When streaming Netflix, my computer is registering as a new device each time I play a movie. The Device ID is different when I check on all my registered devices (the only device that uses my account is my one computer). I have not changed any settings, reinstalled Windows, or made any drastic changes in the system. I do not use a router and am using Cox Communications as my ISP.
Does anyone know why in my Network screen, my actual machine is noted as a Media Device, whereas the other machines on my network comes under Computer?
The other machines's Workgroup is WORKGROUP, amd the actual machine's workgroup is Unidentified Network.
my brother used a mac lap top and i think he formated it to beable to copy movies to my terabite. it now does not recognise it on computer ore dvd which it did before
I got a problem, my external hard drive (westen digital 1.0TB) isn't popping up my computer. I can see it in devices (USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge) but i can't acces it.What i've done already:Computer Management-> Disk Management. Than ive to initialize the disk, i can choose between MBR and GPT. In both cases i got the error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check). I can't chance any letter Downloaded different programs but non of them worked
Some of my external drive find on the PC... Windows 7 and other external drives don't.. Those shows up in the printer and devices.. How do I get them to work as a letter drive in my computer....I have bought 2 floppy drives and don't work either... everything works on my laptop.... Just so much trouble to hook everything up..
I have been unable to connect to anything on my wired network, for about the last week. I don't remember making any changes however, I just became unable to connect.I having done a little troubleshooting.1. I can connect to the shares of my Windows Home Server if I use the IP address. The name does not resolve.2. Flushed DNS and restarting DNS server. Flushing DNS works on one client, to allow browsing by the name & restarting DNS works on the other. However neither works after a restart.3. Only my Wifi clients are experiencing this issue. My wired clients, desktops, PS3, Xbox 360, and Boxee can connect perfectly.This issue is not limited to my server. I can't connect to shares on my desktop, nor print to my wired printer.Some network background:I have DSL through CenturyLink and have a Linksys E2000 router.
For some reason, my LifeFrame is no longer found on my computer. I dont know why, I didnt uninstall it myself. I have an ASUS computer and it came with the computer. Is there a trusted site I can download and install this back onto my computer?
I have been having problems logging on to my computer and the Internet, accessing files etc. for some time now, recently whenever I turn on the computer I get the message cannot find disk? I am not sure what category I should post tohats going on? And if possible how to fix it. I did do a scan about a week ago and was told the there was a program installed on my computer to allow remote access, which I have since cleaned out and reinstalled windows 7.[CODE]
I've had this Sony Vaio VPCEE3WFX/BJ for about a year now. It was working fine until a couple of days ago. My little sister was on it and was playing Poptropica and that was the only thing she did on there. After shutting down the computer, I didn't turn it on until the next day. After pressing the power button, I got the Vaio screen or whatever the screen is called. After that screen has loaded, Operating System Not Found appears out of nowhere. I turned the computer on and off a couple of times but I still received the "Operating System Not Found" After I tried turning it off and on, I tried turning it on again but pressing F8 so that I could get some start up options. I was able to get to the screen and select "Start Windows Normally" From that point, I can get to the login screen and my desktop. The only problem with that is that it takes around 20 minutes to get to the login screen. Once I enter my password, it takes around 10 minutes to get past the login screen. Once past the screen, I get a black screen with the cursor in the middle. If I wait around an hour or so, the desktop will finally load and I will be able to do what I please with one condition. If try and open a program or anything it takes around 10 minutes to load it up and if I try to load a page on Google Chrome, it takes around 5 minutes just for one page.I was thinking about calling Sony to see if there was any way I could send in the laptop for repair before the warranty expires which is in just a couple of weeks.
I have tried Startup Repair but it was no help because I get errors when I try and click some of the solutions. ( I can't remember what the errors say) Also, would re-installing Windows 7 solve the problem? The laptop did not come with a recovery disk or Windows 7 installation disk.Edit: I forgot to mention that I ran 2 virus scans (one from AVG and one from Malwarebytes) and the results came out clean except a file that AVG reported was unsafe due to little known users using it. I ignored it but still deleted it because it was a program one of my teachers told me to download from the home website. (the program was Autodesk Inventor 2011)
I have recently built a new computer and installed Windows 7 on it. At first the operating system could only see 1 of my 1TB hard drives. So I formatted the second to NTFS by using ubuntu live cd. Now my windows system can see the hard drive and I can open it with right mouse click--->open, and can write to it. When I try and double click the drive in My Computer it comes up with a pop up saying E: Application not found. Where I can set the double mouse click to open it?
