windows 7 Laptop had sound working and a few days later lady calls me and said it don't work now, don't no what they did, speaker has red x and can't get anysound, only has headset plugins for bluetooth say you can also plug in powered speakers into one but that didn't work either, keeps saying everything is unplugged when nothing should have to be plugged in any way.
I have a gateway model md2614u that use to have vista. After installing windows 7 my web cam quit working. However it does work when I use skype. The tool bar does not come up when I try to start the web cam program like it should.
I used to run a nature sound file in Media Player, to help me sleep, with Task Scheduler set to wake me up with an online radio program. First task stops, "wakeup" task starts immediately after; worked great for almost a year.Suddenly, doesn't work. Running task doesn't stop, and either wakeup task never starts, or, if it does, it runs as some sort of "ghost" instance: no window showing in the Taskbar, nothing showing in Task Manager (neither as application or as process). I have to restart the whole computer to get it to stop!Checked all the settings in Task Scheduler, tried drawing up new tasks; no change.Too bad I bought this PC with Windows 7 preinstalled--no disks to rebuild from.
Up until a couple of weeks ago all of my Adobe Open Type fonts worked fine. Now I a getting a atmlib.dll error. Says it is not designed to work on Windows. Seems to have happened after a Win 7 update.
I was getting all sounds from my monitor (no speakers plugged into tower) now when I check the sounds in control panel it says no audio device installed.
You know the little preview you get when you hover over an icon on the taskbar? Well mine stopped working for some reason. I don't see anything obvious where you right click and go to properties, and I don't really know where else to look. Could a virus cause this? I ran a scan with avast! and came up with nothing.edit: also, I think the problem may have started after using this screensaver [URL]
as stated in the subject, I am unable to hear any sound from my speakers since upgrading to the windows 7 64 bit. I followed the other post that I found on this but I still cannot hear any sound.I have a dell inspiron 531. The hardware ids from the device manager areHDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0888&SUBSYS_1028020E&REV_1000 HDAUDIOFUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0888&SUBSYS_1028020EI have installed the realtek drivers and they as working but I still get nothing but a slight hiss from my speakers. I have tried them on my laptop and they work fine.Does anybody know what might be causing this? I am half tempted to get a new sound card but I am reluctant as it says my existing one is working (it just seems to have forgotten to tell the speakers!) If anybody knows a fix for this I really would be eternally grateful

I was scanning this morning with great success. Abruptly, it quit scanning. I've rebooted the PC, uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it. It still will not scan.
my Windows 7 recently quit assigning drive letters automatically. I frequently plug in new hard drives to the system using various USB to IDE or SATA adapters and now when I plug in a new hard drive with any of these USB adapters, it does not get a drive letter assigned to the volumes on the drive. If I go to Disk Management, the drives show up, and so do their partitions, and I can manually assign a drive letter to it, but this gets rather tedious. Any idea why it quit doing it automatically and how to get it to automatically assign drive letters once again?? I figured maybe it ran out of letters, so I went in the registry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMMountedDevices and deleted all the remembered drive letter assignments in there, but that didn't help any.
I have an HP Pavilion Desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate (AMD processor). Started working this morning and my Logitech USB wireless mouse didn't work. Tried it in another computer and it worked fine. Got a message when I plugged in the dongle that said "one of the USB devices attached to this computer malfunctioned and the computer does not recognize it." I talked to both HP and Logitech. I updated the Logitech drivers (Setpoint 6.20), but that didn't help. HP wants me to do a system restore, which I am loathe to do (the last time it totally trashed my computer).
I recently downloaded windows seven on my Dell Precision 690. I've tried just about everything and I can't get the sound to work.When I search for hardware changes, or click on Multimedia sound controller for a driver update, it doesn't find it.
Yesterday I installed Audacity, a sound recording and processing freeware program. I had to change a number of settings (which I followed various directions and didn't record what I did) to make it work and I was told to put lame_enc.dll on the desktop as part of enabling it to work. Today the front headphone jack on my new-to-me HP Pavilion a1700n running Windows 7 PC does not work. I suspect a connection between yesterday's changes.
Ive recently built a new machine about a month or two ago and I have been having an issue within the last couple of weeks where when im playing d3 the keyboard and mouse will quit responding. They both still receive power as the lights are on. Then once you restart everything will work and start playing again it could work for 10 seconds or 6 hours before it quits responding and you have to restart again.
So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled the usb controllers, ive updated the motherboard chipset. Ive also tried switching usb ports. I also have this combo hooked up to a kvm switch and when it quits responding I can flip over to the other computer and it will work fine. So that leads me to believe its a software or driver issue but as far as I know ive already reinstalled everything.
ive searched a lot in google and had not found any answers..My problem is some Custom Sounds are not working..for example, ive customized Minimize event and change it to an existing Windows Default sound, i press PLAY and its working, hit APPLY then OK..but its not working..tried it on other events, and still does not work,the other thing i noticed isi cant UNCHECK the option "Play Windows Startup Sound" (its greyed out)I've modified imageres.dll (mainly because of my theme) had edited on my own and had not touch on the wav files.
I am using Windows 7 professional OS... and i got some problem with my sound system.. But when I rebooted my system with Backtrack OS.. I could listen the startup sound. and nothing other than that. As it is a live OS I am using,i didn't install any media players.. so couldn't check other sounds in Backtrack...
but in windows i couldn't even hear the startup.. I 've tried reinstalling the sound drivers. But it was of no use..
since yesterday, i logged onto Internet and noticed my sound was not working at all. i have tried disabling my sound and enabling it but it doesn't resolve the problem. i also tried trouble shooting the sound and it told me to plug in the speaker but i have internal speakers, it also said "the peripheral does not appear to be plugged in. check the connection. proceed to next step to finish." i have no idea on how to resolve my sound issues.
I recently built myself a computer over the christmas break. Sound has been working fine until I changed my network adapter card, which plugged into the pci express whereas the other one was just pci slot. I have done a system restore, restarted my audio, checked speakers on other devices to make sure they are not the problem. Even when I plug headphones in to the front jack I get no sound. Sound is coming from Asus MOBO.
So first I get this message when I mouse over the speaker icon(notice the red "x" on the icon).When I click the icon, Windows does a diagnostic and then this shows up.This is whats listed in my playback devices and this is with "Show disabled devices" enabled. Everything is enabled,Here is a picture of what my device manager looks like.
I've tried installing drivers for my sound card and my chipset, I tried restarting my computer, updated from my device manager, uninstalled drivers, reinstalled, etc. I've been searching online for a bit and nothing I found worked so I figured I'd give this a shot. I tried uninstalling the service pack update but that didn't work.

I got a new computer custom built a few months ago, but it came with Windows 7 32 bit, so I decided to wipe it clean and install 64 bit, for gaming purposes.It installed fine, games ran a lot smoother etc, sound was working at this point.The sound still worked up until a few days ago, when the headset I was using had broken. I ordered a new one from Amazon and while I waited for it to arrive I thought I'd just use my phone earphones in my computer.Considering the sound worked, the same day on my headset, but didn't work with my earphones, I'm sure you can imagine how confused I was. Because the headset was only physically broken, the sound was still working through it, and it sounded perfectly fine and clear, but when I used my earphones it didn't work at all.After some looking around, I discovered that the Realtek HD audio manager wasn't even installed on my computer, even though the previous headset had worked.. which confused me even more.So I installed it, plugged in my phone earphones, and it still didn't work.At this point I wasn't too bothered, because I thought that maybe it was because turtle beach headsets had their own sound-card inside the box that controls the volume, so I waited.
Only to have them have the exact same problem as my phone earphones, they didn't work on my computer, at all. I done all the usual stuff, checked that it was the default device on playback devices, which lead me to the other issue, my computer hasn't even picked them up as a device. I thought it was okay though, because the headset (Turtle beach x12's) are designed for xbox, but are compatible with PC (Which I have confirmed by using a laptop, they work on that). My old headset (Turtle Beach Foxtrot) actually appeared in the playback devices as "Turtle Beach Foxtrot" which I set as the default device, but with this new headset, nothing appears, just "Speakers".I've re-installed the realtek drivers and manager so many times, trying different versions, I've updated my chipset, checked nothing is conflicting in Device manager (There are no yellow symbols on anything), I've made sure audio is enabled in Services, I made sure audio is enabled in my BIOS, changing it to AC97 instead of HD, also changed the settings in Realtek HD audio manager to AC97. I've made sure the ports I'm plugging the headset into are working, by plugging my mouse into the same USB port. I've tried plugging them into the back panel, tried every possible combination.I've even made sure that the old headset I used didn't have its own sound card, because I thought maybe the sound card had been disabled inside my computer.The only thing it points to, is something being disabled inside my machine, which I haven't checked yet, because I wanted it to be a last resort.
The other night I had noticed that the sound, networking, and USB drivers have failed on my laptop. I ran a full system virus scan on my comp, but nothing came up as malicious. Anyone know how to resolve this issue? I would prefer not to reformat my hard drive at all costs.
