One night watching online tv sound disappeared and then few second later came back.So now I am getting random times where sound just cuts out for 2 - 40 seconds, This happens when watching movies, playing games, listening to music and ect.I got a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express Sound card and my on-board sound chip is disabled and I got Logitech 5.1 x-540 Surround systemI've done some tests when the sound cut off I plugged the audio cable to on-board chip(Enabled it for the test) and then the sound card but they both had no sound. So I am guessing its not hardware issue. I did nu-installed old drivers and installed new ones but they haven't fixed the issue.
Hopefully not the wrong category, but there was nothing related to headsets, so I made a best guess. I got a Corsair Vengeance 1500 headset a while back, and have been having issues with them ever since. The first headset was RMA'd, and then the second was as well due to an issue where randomly the sound would just cut out. The headsets were still on (the mic loopback system would work), and even recognized as being plugged in by Windows, but I could hear absolutely nothing from my computer. The only temporary fix thus far is to unplug the headset, then plug it back in. After contacting Corsair again, they just had me RMA the headset again without any sort of explanation. After less than a day of use, the same issue has just occurred. Now either I am just unlucky as all hell and this headset is somehow broken too, or the issue is related to my system.I have no idea what the problem is, and have yet to find anything helpful online. I've tried reinstalling drivers and switching USB ports, but to no avail.
My computer has "No sounds" as the Control Panel/Sounds choice. It still makes a "boing" noise at odd times happens as well. Neither of these sounds are among the Windows Media .wav sounds. I did a search for .wav and listened to every .wav on my computer. The boing isn't one of them. Anyone else have this problem?
The volume on my hp 5260f Windows 7 starting cutting in and out. Ive used it with no problem for over ayear. Tried a system restore and all the fix it tools. Today it has no sound at all and the device manager says everything ok. Is it time for a new sound card?
First time building a new pc. A new motherboard, new dvd/rw ram, old hard drive. I used the old case from my old computer - power supply was already connected so did not change it. System boots up fine but when I start to install windows computer shuts off. I have a seagate hd so I downloaded seagate tool and wiped the hardrive because I was thinking that may be the problem. Tried to install windows again computer cuts off. Whet in and checked the ram using windows.
Something very strange has started happening in Windows Explorer. When I cut and paste image files into different folders, it does copy everything but for some reason, a few tmp files are being created as well. Every time I copy stuff, I have to delete about 5-6 of them.Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? It's started in the past few months and I've been hoping it would stop but it hasn't.
i have a logitech g110 keyboard i just bought and it has the ability to plug in my usb headphones directly to the keyboard for audio. i'm currently using a set of turtle beach earforce x11's.the audio is perfect while playing games, but when i revert to just websurfing, specifically Internet, the audio will cut out after a few seconds and i have to constantly keep enabling/disabling the "playback devices" to get it to work again. it is extremely annoying.is there something i can do to get this to stop cutting out? i went through control panel and made sure all the usb pnp drivers are up to date, and they are.
For a little while now, completely randomly it would seem, the USB ports on the back of my PC will seemingly cut in and out indefinitely until I do a restart.
If the devices that were plugged into the back USB ports are switched to the USB ports on the front of the case, there isn't a problem at all.
I'm almost certain that the problem is not with my mouse and keyboard as like I said, plugged into the front they work fine.
In our company i made a securities that the employee could na install any apps etc... this is my setup... i go to group policy editor then user configuration/administrative template/system/run only specified windows application.I enable the run only specified windows application with the apps that i want to run in that computer.
Lately the computers in my house have been having an issue maintaining a stable Internet connection. Our setup is the typical cable modem -> wireless router -> computers. We can connect to the wireless network no problem (always with the "Internet Access" icon as well), but typically pages cut in and out. This will happen once or twice a day out of nowhere, and last for a while.
The cable modem lights indicate nothing unusual. Resetting the wireless router doesn't seem to make a difference. I've picked an optimal channel. I'll be trying plugging an ethernet cable into the router later today to see if that works.
I'm not sure if it's the router or the cable modem causing the issue, or sure how to determine which it is. I don't mind buying a new one of either, but I'd rather not buy both
My Epson xp-400 printer is cutting off the top section of my text. I've already reloaded the utilities and drivers, cleaned the nozzles and the heads. It has new Epson ink cartridges, and no error messages. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what's wrong? it is on a wireless network.
Today, I noticed my laptop seems to come on whenever I open it. It then cuts off before starting fully. A startup repair program ran a couple of times and the laptop now lasts longer while on. However, when I turn it off, it starts automatically when it is opened. I ran malwarebytes and zone alarm with no effect. I then ran RKill and it stopped 3 programs.
Processes terminated by Rkill or while it was running: C:\Windows\sysWow64\SearchProtocolHost.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Common\Google Updater\GoogleUpdaterService.exe C:\Users\Oshodi\AppData\Local\Temp\IswTmp\DwlRun\eXplorer.exe
I am re running the malwarebytes now. I am running a Windows 7 ultimate on a sony vaio.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 01301J laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32Bit. I try and listen to music either through spotify or simply using my library of music in Windows Media Player, however after a while the audio cuts out. It isnt muted in mixer and the song keeps playing as if nothing has happened, except I cant hear anything. This is fixed when I mute and unmute or turn the volume up or down using the fn keys. When I first start up the music it will take 5 minutes or so before it happens, however once it starts it will cut out every 10 seconds or so.
My audio driver is Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD version 4.119.0.61. I have tried deleting this and reinstalling it, downloading an older driver and updating it. It tells me it is the latest driver but its still not solved the problem.
Is there another driver I could try or perhaps a program that is causing it?
I have a 128b SSD with everything on it. I also have a blank 160gb hard drive that i would like to use for a lot of programs that won't benefit from SSD speed. However, when i try to take things like "Windows Portable Devices" or "Windows Sidebar" from the program files and paste it into the Hard drive, i get a message saying "you need permission to perform this action"
I have strange freezing problems on my Asus N82JQ laptop. When playing most games and watching movies their will be freezing and/or audio problems with audio cutting in and out. Whats truly strange is by running a scan on malware bytes the problems seem to go away and then immediatly return after the scan completes. I have updated my drivers, ran countless different anti-virus programs and searched throughout google yet I still have no solution.
I know I have not discovered anything new with the following problem, but I have not yet read a workable solution.
I find the "bleeps" and "bonks" most annoying when I am navigating around Windows 7, and I am well aware what it says in the personalise/sound menus. The trouble is that opting for "no sound", or switching off individual sounds does not work. I have spent many hours on this problem, to little avail.
if there is a glitsch somewhere in the system,and if there is a solution other than to turn the speakers off. This would be a bit drastic some some of the sounds are useful.
I keep hearing random windows sounds in the background when I'm playing a game and I keep hearing the little sound it makes when you hit shutdown in windows.
This is the first time I have actually posted to a forum, I can usually find what I need just by searching them. Anyway, I didn't see one on here about this so here's my question: Can I make my win 7 play a sound when someone tries to log on my user profile, and gets the password wrong? I seem to recall WinXP doing it but it has been so long I don't remember. I tried to find it under the sounds pane in the sound settings, but no luck
Some of my Windows sound scheme sounds do not play. In the sound scheme settings, under Program Events ,regardless of sound scheme selected, the Sound events for Windows DO NOT play, but sound events for Windows Explorer, and every single other application, DO play. When I click Test, the sound always plays, but in practice, never does. This only happens with the sound events under the Windows category� everything else plays fine. I�ve tried changing the sounds around (using different sound files), and it�s not the sound files themselves, my sound drivers, or anything like that. I�ve tried checking the registry, and that seems to be set up correctly. I�ve tried creating a new user profile, and it has the same problem. If you redirect me to a thread about similar problems, chances are, I�ve already read it if it�s easily found by a Google search. Not everyone has had the same exact problem anyway (where it plays when I click Test and only the Windows events are affected). Please don�t tell me to re-format, re-install, or repair Windows.
I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I would like to disable all the windows sounds, however, this option is greyed out (see link below for screenshot). Why is it greyed out and how can I silent the Windows sounds
i installed an alien theme by windows sev7n on my alienware 15x home premium 7 and after that when i restarted my lappy it showed warning cannot access sound system...i checked the personaliasation then clicked sounds i found a default sound theme writtten in some chinese order...whats the cause of the problem and the solution too...cannot use any theme after that error.
Every time Windows triggers an dialog alert (like windows asterisk, windows critical error ect.) I don't hear the event sound related to it. I looked over and over the settings in the config screen: looking for currupted settings in my windows sound scheme or currupted media files in the windows media dir. But it seems that everything is simply okay, all the settings are correct and the files work well (I can hear the sound when I click test in the sound config screen). It just looks like it that the sounds do not get triggered by the event. It just came out of the blue, everything worked fine and just the other day I did not hear dialog event sounds anymore. Things I have tried:
- Sfc /scannow to fix possible currupted media files (although I did not think this was the problem, since all the files work just fine). No effect. - Reset the default sound scheme of windows of a few times, even tried some other sound shemes that come preinstalled with Windows 7. No effect. - Tried to reinstall my sound drivers (no idea why I tried that because my sound works just fine). No effect. - Made a new user account to see if the problem was account related. No effect.
In short: What is the possible cause/solution for windows events sounds not triggered/suppressed by the dialog event itself (all settings/sound files correct)?
I was modding Morrowind and I added one too many which broke it, so I uninstalled it, thinking i could just re-install it. But then it didnt work, so i used uniblue registry booster to clean my system registry, and after that no music or sound (apart from the UAC bloop sound) worked.
What do I do guys? should I just format my drive and reinstall Windows? i could move all my important stuff to my mac
My Dell Studio 1558 freezes since I tried to reinstall the Windows 7 64 Ultimate a few weeks ago. And within the past few days it has frozen and made a scratching noise when I watch some online videos or webinars.
It tells me that I have USB devices that are not working and says under Device Manager Other Systems that: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). There is no driver selected for the device information set or element. To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver."
But when I try to update the driver it says: "Windows was unable to install your Base System Device. Windows could not find the driver software for your device. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for drivers software."
Well. It's Dell. And when I run a dell pc check it tells me that everything is fine.
I have a Toshiba Satellite computer with a Notebook model and a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system. This laptop computer has an Intel Core i3 processor.My problem is that my Skull Candy headphones will let me hear everything except the files in my Windows Media Player. When I try to play those files, the files will play through my speakers even when the headphones are plugged into the headphone jack.When I unplug the headphones, everything works fine
My sound is acting strange since i've installed Windows 7. (Ex-Vista user). It's making static/crackling sounds when I listen to music, or play games anything that makes sounds is getting disturbed by some kind of interrupting sound that makes crackling sounds..
Things I've tried: 1. I tried switching the cables (bought new ones) 2. I tried different speakers 3. I tried 2 different headphones 4. I tried cleaning my computer (dust) 5. I tried to get rid of any disturbing devices (phones, radios) 6. I tried uninstalling my device (HD audio device) and test it, and reinstall it, and test it again 7. I tried a reset boot (holding button for few seconds) 8. I got rid of my webcam it contained a microphone.
I just upgraded my Window Vista Home Premium x86 to Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Everything is okay after upgrading except for the speakers. When I play any kind of audio files, it has a buzzing sound. And if I turn my volume up, the buzzing will be louder. Everything was okay before I upgraded to Windows 7. Now this thing happens.
Audio software I'm using : Realtek HD Audio Manager
