Terrible Mic Quality On Samsung Series 7 - Update Driver?
Dec 18, 2012
samsung series 7 laptop
windows 7 64 bit
i cannot figure out why my microphone sounds like crap but it does, over skype or in music recording software.Very static'y and distorted. Is it likely that this is driver related at all?If so, Samsung's website has a driver version that is actually lower than what i have.So i went to realtek's website which has a disclaimer saying that they only offer general drivers that may not fit the customized settings of my PC's motherboard that my PC manufacturer's audio driver will have. However realtek has a more recent driver.I just dont want to royally screw anything since my audio is otherwise fine, just the mic isnt getting a clear signal.
Or is it perhaps worth installing the older version that samsung offers?
I am connecting a P2450H monitor via the HDMI cable and getting a very poor, fuzzy, flickering picture on the monitor. The laptop is an HP4525s with HDMI output. The VGA output into the montor is crisp and clean. I have tried all the resolution and colour options, but acnnot resolve the issueI have the latest digital driver installed.
Can someone for the life of me please explain how i go about updating the driver as the default one seems to print graphics realy badly, compared to what the printer is capable off.
I have tried going to device manager, its not listed or im pretty sure its not.
i have tried going to the printer propertives through the Printer and Devices window, no update driver option there?
I have a Samsung NP300E5A-A03US laptop, It has it's own interface for it's updates, it keeps telling me I need a bios update, I have called Samsung support, chatted with Samsung techs. I have done this update at least 15 times, 2 different ways. The tier 2 tech told me that I didn't need the update, He said why do you think that your computer needs a bios update,and I said, because I keep getting these messages that I need it, and it is in the interface as needed. He said, you don't really need it, I said, why does it tell me I need the update. He said ,is your computer ok?, I said, it has some performance issues, and it turns stuff on and off by itself.I have talked to at least 5 different people ,they all make me go thru the same steps. I keep telling them, this won't work, I have tried it ten times. They are starting to get rude. I googled bios updates and Samsung, and a lot of posts came up. Can someone help me and also to understand what bios is, it says it helps with computer stability.
They take 20 Gigs of the 120 Gig drive for a recovery partition.A very poor choice on so small a drive. Plus then they use 30 Gigs more for Windows and their included features / bloatware. So there is only 70 Gigs left for programs and storage. Not the user experience that I think Samsung wants me to have. Enough of the rant.How do I get rid of this or resize the 20 gig recovery partition? I don't mind 1-200 Megs for a recovery partition and I think that I want the recovery feature, but 20 Gigs is way too much. I don't mind having Windows on an external disk, but I don't want it taking up a lot of valuable storage on the computer
I'm having problems with my the graphics card on my laptop. It's an APU and I have picture and videos problems. Whenever I watch movies or look at pictures I see most things fuzzy, (if that makes any sense). I tried to watch a DVD and the video quality was unbearable. The most unbelievable thing is it affects picture quality. I can't do anything without poor quality pictures or videos. I have tried installing new drivers and all sorts of things. Is it me or is it my laptop?

My Samsung series 3 laptop has been sending out popup messages telling me I need a bios update, I go to the Samsung software update site and this bios update has been failing, I have made several calls and chats to techs at Samsung who tell me to do what I have already done, they tell to ask for tier 2 tech, who can go in my computer and fix it , When I finally got a tier 2 tech, they told me the same thing, I told him what I had been told about him and what he could do, He said, is it working , I said yes, but settings on computer change on their own,like wifi turns itself on and that concerns me. Anyway, He said that it didn't need a bios update,even the Samsung website said this computer needed a bios update. I posted this on hardware,firmware concerns, and they told me to post here, I was going to go to a site ,that had a download that checked drivers,
So I have had issues with multiple wifi cards and Win 7 32 bit. The only ones I've gotten to work are laptop wifi cards, and have had some show stopping issues with certain Dell wifi chipsets. I know that a large number of wifi manufacturers use ralink chipsets which have many known issues with Win 7. I've had an old Linksys USB 54G that has worked up to Vista, then started giving me problems starting with Vista. They eventually sorted out the driver issues, but it's a big no go with Win 7, period.
I'm in the market for a new card, but I'm very reluctant to purchase anything until I have this answered. A good solid wifi PCI card (or USB, but PCI preferred) that has ROCK SOLID driver support in Win 7. Is there an HCL for Win 7 somewhere that I'm missing? I'm not seeing any wifi cards with the Win 7 logo just yet.
i have a samsung np550p5c i kept getting popups of samsung updates and it did my head in so i updated them. they were about 7 updates and the ones i could remember were a bios, sound and graphics update.
when the updates were done it prompted me to restart which i did. when my laptop rebooted i got an error (ill post up a pic of it in a bit) now when i tried to change my brightness using the function keys they dont work
I've just started playing a game (the Witcher Enhanced Edition) and the performance is terrible. I might get 3 or 4 secs of action then it stops completely for about a second. In short it is unplayable. I've noticed the same on other games (games are probably the only time I really test my system,) If I had a low powered system this would be understandable but I do not. Indeed the same games run acceptably on my old XL laptop and my mother's low spec Windows 7 system.

All the drivers are bang up to date as is W7. Because of the problems I've created a dedicated games boot. Aero is switched off, No Anti-Virus SW. No unnecessary programs. This was a new build of W7-64. This improves things only a little - it is still unplayable. Since the problem was noted I've ungraded my Graphics, to no effect. I'm not being over fussy - it really makes gameplay impossible.

I would like to install Linux Ubuntu on my laptop alongside Windows using dual boot. However, people keep telling me that it is not a good idea this to be done on a laptop because of driver comparability and stuff like that. So is it OK if dual boot Ubuntu and Windows on a laptop or it is a terrible idea?
So I tried loading the driver for my HP C5140 AIO printer in windows 7 X64, but it would not load the drivers and software that I got from HP, so I lived with it until I came across a fix on the HP forums yesterday. So I tried what it said and it worked. So if your HP C5100 series printer is not working I can tell you how it was done just PM me and I will help.
i installed windows 7 but i cant see all my others disks , they connect to a promise Sata150 TX controller , on the website i found drivers just for XP but nothing else.
Has anyone seen or read anything about the Win 7/Vista drivers for Nvidia 7 series not working properly?
I have a thread over in General where we were trying to determine the cause of a graphics glitch where once Win 7 x32 was booted the screen would glitch out to where it looked like multi-colored ladders with jumbled colors all across the screen.
After running several tests and trying different things, I'm fairly certain its a problem with the nvidia 7 series drivers themselves and win 7 x32.
Trying a clean install to x64 and the drivers for the 7 series for it to see if that changes anything.
Any confirmations or disaffirmations regarding these drivers would be appreciated.
I am running XP and intend to go to Windows 7 shortly. I want to cover all of my bases and get my updated graphic driver before the switch. I went to the manufactuer site and they did not have Windows 7 drivers listed yet. I have seen other posts on here about updating Mirage 3 drivers and was wondering where they got them.
