HP Laptop No Sound From Speaker But There Is Sound Through Headphone
I have hp dv1738od and have upgraded to Windows 7, previously Windows XP. Everything seem to be working ok except, for the sound. Window 7 automatically installed the driver, and said the sound card was working properly. But there was no sound through speaker.
I removed the driver and reinstall the driver that I got from HP website that work for Window Vista. Installation went through with no problem and Device manager indicated no isssue on sound driver. However there was still no sound coming out from the speaker, only through headphone jack.
I read tons of forums, and some has suggested that it may be the jack connection. I tried plugging in and out numerous time, and that did not solve the issue. Sound could be heard for like a sec, when headphone was being plugged out but it goes away quickly. To determine if it was hardware or software issue, i reinstalled Window XP and there was sound through speaker. So for sure it is not the speaker issue.

No Speaker Sound After Disconnecting Bluetooth Headset
I had speaker sound before installing bluetooth dongle and pairing headset. I can hear on the bluetooth headset but when I turn off/disconnect, sound does not resume on speakers. When I check the speaker configuration I get a message that the device is in use by another application but no help in unblocking the app.

Crystal USB Speaker Hissing Sound
I have a USB Speaker that auto-installs a audio driver into windows 7 when plugged in. Problem is I'm not sure the driver is running well with Windows 7 because there are random hissing sounds coming out. Once it comes out, it won't stop until I remove my usb and plug it back again. So I want to try compatibility mode with XP and Vista, but I am unsure how to do this.

Speaker, Headphone At The Same Time Problem
The short: audio plays through back audio jack and front audio jack at the same time. Would like for my computer to recognize that the front(headphones) is plugged in and stop playing sound through the speakers. (Late night computer usage) -Opened my computer to check if my front audio jacks are plugged in -plugged in my headphones - no sound -found in article about marking "disable front panel jack detection" -sounds works through headphones, in front jack YAY -now both speakers and headphones play sound. -installed drivers from ECS website for my motherboard -installed drivers from realtek.com latest Nothing worked to control the sound coming from one device at a time. Weird things: A lot of people have device advanced settings. I dont. - in those options there should be an option where it says "mute rear output device, when front headphones are plugged in" -i wish i had that option, but i dont get the advanced folder at all. Realtek hd audio manager advanced settings image by Alucard1475 on Photobucket -another thing, when i conect my rear audio jack. i get a message that new device connected, i never get this when i connect or dissconnect my front jack -one more thing i noticed that i found wierd. is that under Contol panel/sound/playback devices. i only have speakers(realtek high definition audio) show up, no HEADPHONES. -when i go into properties for the speakers i find that the jack information shows the front and back under the one speaker. Is that correct, shouldnt the jacks be seperated?

Plantronics Headphone / Speaker Issue
I'm using pretty generic speakers and Plantronics headphone/mic neither of which came with any drivers or anything. They worked perfectly fine in windows xp. The sound device manager says that they are not plugged in, but they clearly are. I've tried plugging them in to different jacks but still nothing. What is going on? It's very frustrating.

Unplugging Laptop Kills Sound
RC7100, Compaq nx9420 laptop. Â When I unplug the laptop from the charger, the audio device stops working. Â The device is still shown as enabled in device manager, and I can still open the mixer and change the levels, but no sound appears. Â This only seems to happen if there is an application playing sound at the time I unplug it, and closing the application seems to restore sound. Â Anybody have any ideas on this one?

Asus A6JC Laptop Sound Driver Problem
I installed Windows 7 RC on my Asus laptop and the sound driver installed by Windows during the installation didn't work. So I went to the Asus website to get the driver. After installing it, my sound card worked fine. But here comes the problem: when I restart Windows, I see the "Starting Windows" screen, and then nothing, the boot animation isn't dispayed and the HDD stops loading. The strange thing is that I can boot several times before it crashes, and the same driver worked fine on Vista and the beta. Here is my config:  -Asus A6JC laptop  -Intel Core Duo 1.6GHz  -1GB RAM  -all I know about the sound card is that it is a Realtek Any idea about what I can do, or where I can find driver that work?

Sound Drivers Issue With Compaq V5000 Laptop
Firstly, this Win 7 32bit has transformed my crappy laptop into a superstar...with the exception of sound. It will not load the sound drivers and the Vista drivers for my laptop from the HP site won't install. I get message: "error: driver installation failed: could not find the media device for this driver". Compaq v5000 w/Sempron Conexant audio DeviceID for the multimeda device PCIVEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_30AE103C&REV_02 PCIVEN_1002&DEV_4370&SUBSYS_30AE103C PCIVEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_040100 PCIVEN_1002&DEV_4370&CC_0401 I tried to load every kind of driver I found online using the Vista compatibility mode, or the "Have Disk" option. Even without sound, I'll keep this release. In 3 weeks time, I have to use this laptop to show a video on our company projector. If I don't have sound by then, I'll install XP. But I hope I can keep Win 7 on it!

Cannot Find Creative Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio Sound Card
My fairly new PC: Core2Quad Q6700 on ASUS P5K (Intel P35) with RealTek HD Audio chip, plus Creative Soundblaster Xtreme Audio internal sound card. I've installed Windows 7RC on a new partition on my HD alongside Vista Ultimate. I've experienced no installation problem, but Win7RC does not recognize my SB sound card at all! So, I can't even update the driver! It recognized the Realtek chip and my external USB mic, but not the sound card that had been installed for audio quality!! To come to think of it, I've had the problem with Vista, with my Dragon Naturally Speaking Pro 10.1 not recognizing the "existence of any sound system" in an administrator account I used to install the software. However, the software recognizes all my audio systems in my other user account (admin) and the software runs smoothly!! Any connection? What's the problem here? Anyone have any idea? Edit: I also found that the stereo mix feature of the Realtek HD audio isn't recognized either. (Recognized in Vista and my old XP)

Sound Blaster Audigy PCI Card Sound Problem
I installed windows 7 home premium today on my computer on a dedicated hard disk. All went fine and did windows updates to all my driver issues. At this point I had sound. I then installed ubuntu 9.10 on a separate physical disk without issue. Ubuntu installed a boot loader (Grub) which recognised windows 7 and I could boot into both OSes (dual boot), both working happily (including sound). I then installed some apps in ubuntu (incl. wine) and now when I boot into windows 7, I don't have any sound. The sound icon is happy, the device manager is happy. I haven't touched the windows disk or installation, yet the sound doesn't work. The sound hardware is a Sound Blaster Audigy PCI card. This doesn't make sense surely. Any ideas?

Regular Cataclysmic Sound Failures In Asus Onboard Sound
After installing windows 7x64, the sound initially worked. Then I noticed that during any audio playback the sound would pop and crack regularly. Now on occasion, the audio will work with popping and cracking for a while, and then have a cataclysmic failure errupting in massive static before it stops working all together.  Sound works with popping and cracking again after a cold boot, but the problem repeats every few days. I am using an Asus M2N-Plus SLI Vista Edition Motherboard which uses the C-Media 6501 on board sound-card The problem is not changed by using headphones, or using the case front head-phone jack Attempted to use Vista x64 drivers, which do not work, Neither Asus nor C-Media have released updated drivers for windows 7x64 for this card Does anyone know of a set of drivers that work? or a way to work around this?

No Sound, No Sound Device Detected, Drives Installed
I'm in a pickle with my machine and Windows 7 after this latest update. On startup I get an error from MMDevApi.dll saying that it might not run on Windows or... something else. This also occurs anytime a program tries to use the sound card ie. WoW, Yahoo IM, Live IM, SL, etc. I've updated my sound card drivers to the newest ones. I still get an error that says the device is detected when going to "Sound Devices" in the control panel. Trying to adjust the sounds themselves leads me to the Windows Audio thing... which won't start even from the component list.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card Compatibility
I just bought a new pc from Dell. I opted out of buying the SB sound card they had as an option and now I am sorta regretting that. I loaded RC 7100 as soon as I got the machine and after going through this forum I am sorta left with the impression that SB cards don't work with Win 7. Is that really the case? I was looking at an "Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Sound Card" but if it will just cause me grief it's not worth it. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I can get and not pull my hair out trying to get it to work? The main game I play sounds sorta mediocre with the on-board sound.

Enabling Onboard Sound With A Sound Card
I fly MS FSX and I want to be able to chat to ATC with my headphones and then hear the engine noises coming out of my speakers and sub-woofer. I have a sound-card and my motherboard has on-board sound. I can't find the bios setting to turn it on and I can't see any hint of it anywhere on the computer. Can someone help me get the on board sound going? My computer is homebuilt, I recently installed Windows 7 pro 64bit.

Hdmi Sound And Sound Port
I am running windows seven with an AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5GHz card and have a flat panel television setup via hdmi and a stereo receiver/ speakers through the sound card out. I'd like sound to come out of both hdmi and the sound port that way I can here music through the stereo but when I watch standard television programs I can here through the television and turn off the receiver. the only way I've found to control the sound is to set hdmi or sound card to default in the control panel>sound. so switching back and forth is a big pain.

No Sound With Audigy 2 Sound Card
This is probably just a stop gap but I was finally able to get my old Creative Audigy 2 card to work with 5.1 surround by using Audigy 4 drivers for Windows 7. I haven't been able to adjust bass and treble yet but I've been too busy just enjoying the music to get around to looking for ways to make that happen. Music sounds better than it ever did in XP or Vista! It may not be a complete fix but at least it'll get you some sound until they come up with driver for those of us with older sound cards. Be patient as it takes a while for the complete install!
