After getting my Toshiba laptop, I checked the speaker properties. I did this by right clicking the speaker icon on the taskbar and clicking on playback devices. Then on the resulting window, I double clicked on speakers (My default playback device). In the next window, there was an tab called Enhancements where I could select effects like virtual surround soung, bass boost and loudness equalizer. I recently formatted my computer and since I got it back that tab is missing. Instead of the Enhancements tab there is another tab called Dolby. Under this tab there is just 2 options that i can tick; Audio Enhancer and Disable all enhancements. Is there any way I can get back the enhancement tab that I had before because the effects in that tab really helped improve the sound quality of my laptop? Is it something wrong with my drivers? I tried updating my sound card driver but it still did not work.
Here are my specifications of my laptop if that helps:
Toshiba Satellite L655-PSK1JE05R00XAR
Core i5-450M 2.4 GHz
3GB RAM
sound card driver is Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD
I've updated my mobo's BIOS today and the new version adds support for PCEEv4, so I get the Dolby tab working, but the enhancements all disappeared. I know for a fact they work, since I had them before changing the BIOS. I can't really rollback the bios as I pretty much need the SSD updates on the BIOS.I've reinstalled the drivers about 3 times already. I've tried from both the motherboard's page: GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 (rev. 1.0)And from Realtek's page. Neither worked as far as giving me the enhancements back. I get this shiny new Dolby thing that is quite frankly, useless. It uses only 3 speakers out of the 5.1 system and I'd much rather have the enhancements back so I can use the audio fill to get all my speakers going when there's a stereo stream.
Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Except for rolling back the BIOS, that is.All the DTS dlls appear as installed and part of the driver. The mic enhancements still work just fine. I have RAVBg64.exe starting with /forpcee4 toggle. I was wondering if there was perhaps a toggle that ignored the PCEE(Dolby tab) thing and went for windows enhancements instead. The enhancements also disappeared from the Realtek HD audio manager, so no luck there either. It doesn't even show an enhancement tab there, so I'm assuming it's loading wrong to favor the PCEE thing.
Why don't my enhancements work in "skin mode"? In "now playing mode" it will display but it won't stay. If you click on the screen in "now playing mode" the enhancement block goes away. Is this normal for WMP12?
In WMP, SRS trubass and proper EQ sound much better in my speakers, and I also want to apply this sort of enhancement (Or as close as possible) to sounds coming from my browser, for example.Is there a program or system in place I could use to do this?
why is there no sound for playing dvd movies using windows music player??music concert dvds all play fine, as do CDs, internet sound. only movies have no sound.can't dolby and microsoft get to gether and allow dolby thx dvds to play using media player? downloaded this thing called AC3 filter and it didn''t make anydifference.haven't tried to play movies since I moved awhile back and now it is coming back to me that WMP is totally useless for any movies I have on dvd. I had to install my roxio creator program to watch dvds with sound
It's been about 2 years since I last had this problem on Vista, but it seems that it's happening again with Windows 7.
Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device are causing problems
Speakers(Realtek High Definition Audio)
Disabling the enhancements gives me sound again, but I know there was a solution with Vista.
It first happened today after 3 weeks of using the R2.34 drivers without incident, but now both that and the new R2.35 drivers are doing the same thing. Has anyone else had this problem or know the solution?
I just got a computer for free, a Dell Studio 1555. When I got it, it would try to boot, then come to a screen that said that bootmgr.exe was missing. Sometimes I got a message that said something like mpio.sys was corrupted or missing. I have a Win 7 disk, so I put it in and tried to repair the installation. Each time I ran it, it said that the repair had failed. I tried to reinstall windows 7, and It made it to the first restart in the process. It showed the "Starting Windows" screen, but the colors of the windows logo never appeared, then I got the missing bootmgr screen. I decided to install Ubuntu and see if that worked, and it did (I installed it alongside the Windows installation). It was Ubuntu 10.04. I thought, "OK, so i'll just use this as a Linux machine"...and I decided to go back and reinstall so that I could use the entire hard drive. It never worked correctly again. Each subsequent time that I installed Ubuntu, I was told something along the lines of "Gnome Power Manager did not install correctly" and got a slow and choppy Ubuntu installation.Tried to install 11.10, and it failed completely. I opened the Ubuntu live from my usb drive, and opened the disk utility. I now cannot format, reformat, partition, or delete partitions on the drive. Is all of this just a case of a hard drive on its last legs, or is there something else going on here?
Ok i have windows 7, Recently i have found out that i have a full list of errors that happened pretty much overnight:Here's the list 1. I can't go onto Control Panel It say's " This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator" I AM THE ADMIN.. I am the only account too. 2. My Task bar is missing, When i go ctrl-alt-del i see no option to open up my task bar. [FIXED] 3. I cant RIGHT click on anything on my desktop, as well as my folders and stuff. Although i can right click while playing games or browsing the internet, so my mouse is definitely not broken. So u must be thinking, this guy has a virus for sure... Well if i do have a virus it must be made by ******* Bill Gates. Because i can't find it.I have the FULL version of Trend Micro Cillin as well as Norton 360, I've just recently downloaded Malvare Bytes, and that couldn't find anything as well. I've done a full system scam on both anti-virus programs, i see no viruses. I did get a virus a week ago, but Norton quickly picked it up, I'm thinking it may have changed a few settings in my computer before i managed to delete it.
My setup had an MBR issue a few days ago after installing Skyrim. I was unable to repair it using the windows 7 instal disc. I tried the automatic fix as well as bootrec.exe. After giving up and reinstalling a fresh windows 7, my rig has not been starting up properly. It insists on waking up from sleepwhen it was shutdown, i.e. Not sleeping. Well after a few days of this with no other problems, bootmgr can't be found again. Now, when I load the repair disc, it can't find my OS to even try a bootrec.exe on. But, when i go to load drivers the explorer window allows me to browse my c:/ drive and the installation is there. I would prefer to fix rather than reinstall due to a symantec DRM issue.
Windows 7 is on a 60 gb raid 0 setup (I know, i know, i deserve this for running raid 0)
i have a 2006 acer laptop that just recently decided not to get onto the internet. it will connect to the network but no internet. i have looked at more forums than i can count but to no avail. i will try to list the problems/symptoms but i am not familiar with programming language and don't know exactly what all the command prompts are suppoed to achieve and the like.-isatap ipv6 adapter is not working (some people say it does'nt matter but???)-ip address starts with 169-ipconfig /release and release6 does not workbecause "an address has not yet been associated with the network endpoint"-ipconfig /flushdns does not work because "function failed during execution"-cannot displaydns because "dns cache is unavailable"-cannot registerdns because "rpc server is unavailable"-checked my services and found some dependant ones that i could not manually start ERROR1075: DNS client service, tcp/ip netbios helper, routing and remote access, internetconnection sharing (ics). all failed to start with the same error code 1075-ERROR 10022- netlogon service-tried "netsh int ip reset" but reset echo request failed. "access denied". i am the admin for this computer. it worked the first time i tried it with no errors. now i get the failed echo message.
-cannot setclassid "as know adapter is in a state permissable for this action"-i saw something about the dhcp-read on one forum that people were having trouble after deleting norton(symantc) programs. i have deleted norton programs and think i got all of them (how to be sure?)-netsh winsock reset successfully-tried regrepair, regseeker, and a few of those "free download" programs that say they will fix your problems after you register/purchase them. i figure if the computer can stop working so easily i can get it to start as easily. maybe that's naivety speaking.-i have scanned my cpu for viruses (naturally) with 3-4 different programs (maybe norton would have found something).clean-thought it might have something to do with the registery since i had a nasty virus everal months ago that i think changed it somehow.-of course my system restore points are dated after this problem occured.-i bought the computer at staples and it did not come with a windows startup disc.
i can't think of any more though i know i've tried more than is listed. the dns and rpc servers seem to be the main coulprits but how do i fix that? also possibly the norton issue? i've read so many forums i'm seeing triple and everyone seems to suggest the same things. i've tried them so many times (to no avail). i've even changed the network adapters ipv6 and ipv4 adresses to 208.67.222.222 with the alternate. nothing. there has to be something i'm overlooking but what
Recently, i plug in an external hard drive to my laptop running on windows 7 because i need to copy some files from it.After copying the file i ejected the CD/DVD ROM which is also a removable storage instead of ejecting the external hard drive itself.After that i check on my computer and the CD/DVD Rom icon is gone or lets just say missing.I check on device manger and cant find it there either.How can i possibly have it back(the icon) on my computer?
I have my brothers laptop and the laptop is sitting at BOOTMGR is missing, I can get into BIOS. It will not see recovery disk and will not go into safe mode!!!
It is set to boot from CD Rom but does not see the recovery disc. Is there anything that I can do? As I am now stuck
My husband's comp crashed...he had Win7 Os. Recovery did not work! I tried to reintall Win7 got as far as formatting the hard drive. I then reinserted the cd to reinstall and now all I get as far as "Press any key..." I press a key and "BOOTMGR MISSING" press ctrl + alt + del to restart. Of course this doesn't work.I have reset the bios so that cd-rom is the only bootable device. It will not move from the bootmgr missing screen. The cd is a legal bootable copy, the hard drive and dvd player work I have tried them in another comp.System Configuration[CODE]
I have windows 7 and was attempting to install Norton internet security when it dissapeared. I got to the point where Norton required me to install the product key which i did the pc then said it would shut down and restarted which it did less the e-drive. I have been through the HP support on the pc and am advised that filter 39 is affecting the system however i cant correct this for some reason and regain i hope my e-drive.
I have a normal looking desktop but when I open IE9, starting just a while ago as a new issue, there is no task bar and the very top where the address bar is, it is a black background in color. Front and back arrows are still blue.Windows 7?
Recently a popup box has started to appear when I logon that informs me that file nuneco.dll is missing/can't be found. I have not noticed any programs being affected but its just really annoying I also want to try and fix this before anything detrimental does happen as I use this system for my business. I don't remember doing anything major or installing anything before this started happening which is why I am hving trouble locating the cause of the problem.Any suggestions? Be gentle although I am not exctly a novice I am not a tech head either so if his can be fixed please provide clear instructions[CODE]
I am using Windows 7 and my recycle bin icon is missing from my desktop. Doing the "right click on the desktop, personalize, change desktop icons, check the recycle bin box" doesn't work. Is there anything else I can try?
I'm currently stuck on this issue, while trying to solve another computer problem (as addressed in thread:I guess I botched it somewhere and I just get the bootmgr is missing message. [CODE]
I recently installed an update for Windows, and after the restart I was getting serious performance issues, (Which happens every time I update windows or a driver) and after uninstalling the update I get the following error when I try to run most games/programs: "The program can't start because DCIMAN32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."I searched for the file, and found it where it should be. After searching various forums for answers I tried to replace the .dll file, but it wouldn't let me. I get the message, "You'll need to provide administrator permission to move this file." After hitting continue I get the following message, "You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file"I also tried downloading a program to try to fix this, but I don't want to have to pay for one to fix one file. I have never seen this error before. I have tried reinstalling a few of the programs, but that has not solved the issue. I also tried scanning for a virus, or other malicious software, but both Norton, and MalwareBytes didn't find anything.

i cant get my dell mini (16gb ssd, 2 gb ram) to install a clean boot of RC1 7100. It sticks at cd/dvd driver missing. what gives with this? does anyone really have an answer?i have verified the hash, burned at 1x, 2x, 4x, run from a bootable flash drive, stood on my head, etc. What driver is it looking for?
I made the mistake of letting my sister-in-law use my computer (the one I use for work) to burn a CD. I thought she said burn a DVD, which is something I do all the time. However, apparently she downloaded a CD ripping program called CDEX (very legitimate -- doubtful of any viruses). In the process of ripping her CD to the desktop, the program froze up. The disc would not eject from the disc drive. So she called me over -- I couldn't get it to eject, either. I tried restarting the computer, but to no avail. I stuck a paperclip in the slot below the eject button and manually opened it -- but now my disc drive is gone. This is a new computer -- not even one year old yet. It's a Vostro 320 all-in-one desktop. It has Windows 7 and this is a DVD/RW drive. It is gone from the device manager completely. When I push the button to eject the disc drive, the light flashes green once, but never opens. If I manually open it and put a CD in there, nothing happens. It doesn't spin around like it normally does.
Her computer is an HP laptop it is runnung windows 7 . I have created the recovery disk( 32 bit) from online as that is what most sites said to do. After it said it was loading the windows files I clicked next. Then it said system recovery options.In the box it says (recovered) 292135 MB (d Local Disk. It is checked on use recovery tool taht can help fix problems starting windows. I click next. I get a pop up that says this version of system recovery options is not compatible with the version of windows you are trying to repair,So then I made the 64 bit recovery disk & restarted. I was unsure if it was 64 bit or 32 bit to start.
First off, why is reinstalling windows 7 such a pita? I've done it several times and it's soooooooo bad. With that aside, tonight I was attempting to reinstall 64 bit from 32 bit. I reformatted my hd using dos because advanced recovery simple does not work. After formatting and restarting I'm getting te bootmgr error. After reading countless threads with fixes nothing is helping. I CANNOT get past this error. I have the disc in, it won't go past the error. Pushing f2, f8, and f12 does not work. I can't do anything in the bios. Most of the solutions simply assume you can get PAST the error.
The next step I tried was unplugging the hd I formatted and installing to a different hd. This gives me an error of missing a device required. At this point I have no idea what to do besides maybe reformatting the hd again using another pc. Is there a recovery program I should dl to a blank cd?
When I make a backup copy of a dvd the ISO image is set to be saved to the C drive, yet when it's complete there is no trace of it. I've also tried saving it to specific folders and it never turns up there. I've tried searches and no results are found.
