HP Dv4 1428 No Audio
I just purchased an hp laptop from Bestbuy: DV4-1428 found here:
Computers: Laptops: HP Pavilion 14.1" Laptop featuring AMD Turion X2 (DV4-1428CA) | Best Buy Canada Web Store
It came with Vista, and I couldn't find the drivers for it to downgrade it to XP, so I decided to go with Win 7. I already have Win 7 on my PC and everything works great, but on my laptop, it won't recognize the audio drivers. Windows 7 says that there are no speakers connected.
I went to the hp website but the only drivers I could find that might be useful was the BIOS upgrade for Vista x64, so I downloaded it and installed it onto the system. Nothing happened.
I've downloaded the 64 bit version of Win 7 on this laptop.
Any help/suggestions? I really don't want to go back to Vista, and XP looks like it won't even work because no drivers for xp exist for this laptop.

HP DV4 Laptop Compatibility
WillI be able to install windows 7 32 bit on HP DV4 and DV3 laptops? For instance HP DV4 1411TU or HP DV4 1415TU? The dealer says the vista that comes on these machines can't be changed.

Upgrade On HP Pavilion DV4 1435dx
I have HP Pavilion DV4 1435dx running Vista(x64), I recieved my Upgrade Kit today and I'm having trouble getting it to start up. I insert the disk into my optical drive as directed by the instructions that came with it. Now when I insert the disk nothing happens, no Auto Play option comes up nothing, when I try to do it manually it says insert CD. So it got me thinking maybe something is wrong with my optical drive, so I insert a DVD movie and all works fine I also try and Audio CD and everything is good as well. Now I tried calling Tech Support and the Upgrade Kit distributor and nothing worked. I'm wondering how can I fix this and has anyone experienced this with their Upgrade Kit? Also if I can't use the Upgrade Kit, will I be able to just download Windows 7 and use the Product Key that came with my Upgrade Kit?

Upgrade On HP Pavilion Dv4 1225dx
I have just purchased an HP Pavilion dv4-1225dx laptop, and this is the one time I like the software that has come pre-installed (HP Mediasmart software) And so, by doing a clean install, ill lose the webcam software (mediasmart component) and the other stuff I have on there (Installing WoW again and downloading updates..not doing it again). I tried the upgrade feature and it hung at 18% for a while and I gave up on it (Second line on the install screen, I forget what it says it is) So I was wondering if it is normal for it to han ga little while doing an upgrade from an OEM version of Vista or just upgradeing in general..?

Realtek AC'97 Audio For VIA (R) Audio Controller Drivers Issue
I just installed Windows 7 and it seems awesome! The biggest problem so far is with audio drivers. I have MSI KT6V LSR motherboard (using VIA KT600 north bridge and VIA VT8237 South Bridge). I got the sound to work by installing drivers, but after I reboot the computer, sound didn't work anymore. The volume icon in notification area shows a red cross, and when I click it, Windows starts a windows "Detecting problems". After that, it says that reinstalling the driver might help.

Switching From HDMI Audio Output Back To Built Audio Output
Win7 RC (64 bit version) Recently I had to plug in just a monitor and speakers to my system (and unplug the HDMI TV input). Per the control panel, it correctly states that there is no HDMI device and standard line out is the active device. (Little bar graph goes up and down as audio supposedly is being outputed). (If I boot XP the audio works just fine.) My question is can anyone provide a pointer to where to look to see where the audio stream is going (I think it is still heading towards the HDMI port). Hardware - I7, MSI X58 MB, ATI 4350 graphics card, NO audio card (just built audio).

USB Audio
I have a JVC RX D205 home theater receiver pluged into my PC 32 bit Windows XP via USB. The receiver is about 2 years old. How would this work if I bought and installed Windows 7 64 bit? I must add that I want to continue using the USB for it.

Computer To TV Audio
I want to connect my Windows 7 desktop with my TV. The audio out ports on my computer are a mini plug (green) and what appears to be a single RCA type plug (labeled "digital audio out"(orange.)) The audio in port on the TV is what appears to be a single RCA type plug (green.) What cable solution do I employ? I'm under the impression that a stereo mini plug is an analog solution, but I'll be surprised to even find one that ends in a lone green RCA type plug.

VIA Audio, 1 Port
It's been a while since I've gotten my sound "working," but my current problem is that only one of my audio jacks work, one on the back. I know it's not the hardware because it used to work on vista. It hasn't been that much of a pain because i didn't have to change often between audio output devices, so i just dealt with it- getting back behind the computer and switching out cords. Now i'm doing it a little more frequently, so I can still just deal with it, but if anyone here does know something that may help, it would be very nice of you to let me know.

No Audio Via HDMI To TV
I installed Windows 7 yesterday and at first I had no audio to my TV via the HDMI cable. I adjusted the settings via the sound icon on the taskbar, playback tab, changing whether the speakers or the Digital Output Device (HDMI), Sigmatel High Definition Audio Codec was the default. Eventually I got it to work. Today, however it has stopped working again and no matter what changes I make, nothing works. When I right click on the playback device Digital Output Device (HDMI) and choose TEST, I get the message: Failed to play test tone. All sound comes through the laptop speakers. I went to device manager and checked the driver for the codec and it was up to date. When I was using Vista, to get the audio all I had to do was plug in the HDMI cable and the sound automatically went through the TV. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Sigmatel Audio Drivers
After a clean install of Windows 7 from Vista 64 bit , all went perfect except for the audio drivers. After a few weeks Windows 7 was saying that the sigmatel audio driver installed was not working. Sigmatel is now actaully IDT. Any of the so called updated drives from sigmatel or IDT will not install. So just delete any installed audio drives in Device manager and let windows install the drives upon rebooting, they work perfectly and they are the most recent drivers i could find anywhere for the High Definition codec.

Audio Driver On MSI MB
I recently downloaded and installed Windows 7. My motherboard is an MSI K9N6PGM2-V with realtek onboard audio. I have tried the XP and Vista drivers and still can not get the sound to work. The device manager shows the driver installed. The volume is turned up. I may try to upgrade the os from a working XP copy to Windows 7. Anybody have any other ideas or solutions?

No Audio Support? Firewire?
I like the snippet tool, about time, wish there was a key shortcut, similar to OS X - Anyway, I see in device driver that FIREWIRE sets up fine (TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) on my INTEL motherboard, but the device, high end Mackie firewire device, does not work. Installed the MACKIE ASIO driver and nothing, not even a POP UP saying NEW DEVICE found. This is a shame if this turns out to be true as the lack of Vista driver (more than one year after Vista came out), made me go to a Mac for the past year. Was hoping the vista driver would work, especially since it's a standard ASIO audio driver for Vista.

Audio Only Works Through Headset
Since upgrading our Fujitsu Siemens Amilo PI1505 to Windows 7 in the past few days I've only been able to get sound through a headset and not through the speakers. Not particularly having a clue what to do I've tried installing the original audio drivers but can't do so as Windows tells me that more up to date drivers are already installed. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem and if indeed it is a driver issue any ideas how I can get the old driver to replace the new without Windows reinstalling the latest ones on Restart.
