HP Pavilion DV6000 model 6700 to be exact.


Installed windows 7 and now the audio is not working...
looked and browsed couldn't find much.
I tried installing all the sound drivers but they all fail.

device manager and see if your audio thing has a yellow '!' on it if not you might be missing drivers or something?

 

[GSingh]

which drivers did you try specifically?

 

[bhangrafreak01]

@deepi It says no audio device is installed.
@gsingh well since I installed windows 7 the dv6000 doesn't have a driver for it its only upto vista.

sounds like hardware issue, i'm guessing its built in motherboard sound, if your comp isnt showing it in the device manager then it's screwed up and u would either have to get a new motherboard or get a plug in sound card. if your comp has a plug in pci sound card then it might be loose or installed incorrectly or it could be messed up too.

edit: just read what was written up top and realized it might just be disabled due to the fact that you installed a diff OS. you got compatibility/driver issues with the motherboard and it prob shut off sound processing functionality. either find win 7 drivers or hope hp makes some for ur comp, or get a pci sound card that has win 7 drivers.

I fell like it is a hardware problem as of now.

Any recommendation for the plug in sound cards???

That one is good.

If you use headphones a lot, I'd recommend this one. http://www.amazon.com/Xonar-Sound-Cards-XONAR_U3-UAD/dp/B0054L8GVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311266899&sr=8-1

its a skimmed down version of the card I got. Full headphone AMP sound. Sounds really good.

you need audio drivers to hear thing

 

[GSingh]

Oh btw, is your computer 64 or 32 bit cuz they got a different set of drivers for both. And vista drivers should work. :|

windows 7 ultimate version 6.1
also will serato work with these sound card

This could be a number of issues.. but you can try this..

Using Windows 7, click on Start, type msconfig in the "Search programs and files" box, click on the Services tab, then click on the Service heading (to sort all the services).. then find "Windows Audio".. make sure it's enabled & running... if not, enable it & restart your PC.


Hope that helps,

I meant is it 64bit or 32. Right click on my computer and properties. That should tell you there.

 

[bhangrafreak01]

@gsingh windows 7, 32 bit

Aight so your drivers were right...... SIGH. yeah I'd just invest in the soundcard. Probably give you better sound quality to boot.
