I am running the latest version of Windows 10 on an HP all-in-one desktop computer (27-1015t);
When listening to music, from the computer's CD drive or from iTunes, I like to turn off the computer's built-in low-fi speakers and instead listen to a pair of external powered speakers, which are connected to the computer's audio out connector;
Before going from Windows 7 to Windows 10, I could mute the built-in speakers without muting the output from the audio out connector;
Now under Windows 10 I can't find any way to mute the built-in speakers without also muting the output to the external speakers. One might think that the connector where I plug in the external speakers jack would automatically disconnect the internal speakers, ( as is true on iPhones, iPads, and the like) but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Is there any way under Windows 10 to play the external speakers only? Or is that HP's problem rather than Microsoft's? Since I *was* able to do it under Windows 7 but I can't now, it seems like a problem relating to the OS change from 7 to 10.
I wanted to temporarily disable my built-in speakers.I went to Control Panel.
Clicked on "Sound" which displayed my menu of playback devices. Clicked on my built-in speakers. Clicked on "Properties." Clicked on "Disable."
However this removed my speakers entirely from the menu and I can no longer use them!How do I restore them?I went to my Device Manager and the drivers are still loaded.
System: CPU: FX 9590 MB: m5a99fx pro r2.0 GPU: sapphire trix 290x ram: 16gb Powersupply: 1000w
So before this setup, I had a fatal1ty fx 990 that would cause random blue screens, I RMA'd my CPU, my motherboard two times, and replaced my ram, ram slots, harddrive, and video cards with a lower end one, but it would still randomly blue screen with a error and sometimes to the hard drive controller or something (I forgot exactly). I attempted to install drivers with the CD, updated drivers from online, etc.
So I decided to replace my MB and got the one I have right now (m5a99fx pro r2.0) And like magic I dont have any more blue screens, instead the computer just locks up, no response and I have to hard reset it with the button... I tried reinstalling windows on a whole new hard drive with only having the same exact issues.
And I checked the registry with it showing me no major errors except that there was a unexpected shutdown.
Just finished building my new computer. I've been getting Kernel Security Check Failure BSOD's nearly every day. They happen at no time in particular. Here is my file.
So after my problems with my Altec Lansing speakers (detailed on another thread) I decided to bite the bullet and just buy new speakers. Except that now there is a problem with that too.
I have a HDMI cable attached to my laptop so that I can use my TV as a second monitor. That's fine and dandy, except that the sound only comes out from my TV, not from my laptop speakers or my new speakers. I've tried to use Windows settings to adjust things but there doesn't seem to be any such option.
On my last computer all I had to do was plug and play, so I'm not sure why this is happening. It's quite a hassle because when the HDMI cable is attached, all my sound comes from the TV.
I updated my computer to windows 10. when I upgraded and played audio, video on local computer or on any website. I could not hear music/ sound. when I play audio file through Windows Media Player, I get following error.
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."
And when I play audio file using Groove Music. Can't play. We can' find an audio device for your PC Make sure headphones aor speakers are connected. For more infor search your PC for "Manage audio device".
0xc00d36fa ( 0xc00d36fa) |Close| (button).
When I go to manage audio device. I play test tone. and get message box saying that "failed to play test tone".
I got me a new microphone and like most all microphones for PC there is no on and off switch, so on that note how can i mute and unmute it quick without having to click several things to get to the mute stuff. It saves also having to unplug and plug it in every time which would eventually we're usb ports out.
Im New Member and New User for Windows 10. This is My 1st Thread..I Want This Icon as ICO to Use for Shortcut Icon and Pin to Taskbar (I Think Size is 128x128 ?) (Use for NirCmd)
This is not okay at all. How can I make them not mute when I minimize them? Someone asked me to go to Settings>Privacy>BackGround Apps.iHeart radio is set to on and that has no difference. Groove music is not listed.
In the first week or so, Windows performed quite smoothly (albeit with some slowdown playing games) and was for the most part perfect.
However, quite recently my experience with Windows 10 has been so poor that I am regularly unable to even boot up my PC - being greeted by an alarming 'beep' sound, followed by an immediate shutdown. In the rare circumstance where my computer actually does turn on properly, whenever I open Chrome or Edge it shortly freezes and I'm forced to hard reset my computer.
I have tried reinstalling Windows 10 (deleting most of my files with it) but to no avail. I have noticed that on the task manager the 'Disk' column is quite often red with 99% usage -
I recently upgraded windows 8.1 with Bing, which had a homegroup, to windows 10. After the upgrade I was unable to set up a homegroup. Message, "this computer is unable to set up a homegroup"...
Each time I try to log in to a particular networked computer ( #3) from Computer #4 , a windows security essentials pop up and asks for credentials even though I checked on allowing access without passwords in computer #3 . In any case when I typed in the user name and password for computer ( #3) , I keep getting error indicating wrong user or password. However the reverse from computer #3 to #4 is OK . All my networked computers do not require password and I am not using workgroup or homegroup just simply network shares.
I upgraded to Windows 10 and now I cannot wake up my computer from sleep mode. With Windows 7 and 8.1 all I had to do was tap any key and the computer would wake up. Now that doesn't work. I have to press and hold down the power button to force a shut down and then restart. This problem only appeared after I installed Windows 10. How can I fix it?
I keep getting BSOD and random freezes that make me unable to use the computer, so i have to restart it and hope that won't happen again. Happens randomly, there is not an specific trigger to this. Leaving the minidump file to make it easier!
I recently upgraded my SENS 900X Samsung laptop from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10. I did the easy upgrade, not a clean install. I did reformat my computer while it was in Windows 7, updated it, then upgraded to Windows 10.
When I turn on or restart my computer, I get a message which says:
I found : Link: Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10
However, after performing step 3, I get this message: "Your power plan information isn't available. Access is denied."
I am running Windows 10 Professional with current up-to-date updates on my Dell Inspiron Laptop.
Several days ago I noticed that plugging in current headset no longer muted the internal speaker. I know that it is not the headset as it works perfectly on another computer.
Doing a web search has not resulted in finding the problem, let alone a solution. Further my anti-virus is up-to-date, as are the microphone and speaker drivers.
I just downloaded windows 10 onto my newly built pc. I used this:URL... driver. What to do, get a new driver or is there something I need to do that I have not done yet?
I am trying to do this. When I click on a mailto:joseph21@email.com it will open the link of the mail app in firefox, IE, Chrome, etc. Where is the app located. I did a search for mail but did not show any that is the built in mail app. Is there a way to export all the settings of the built in mail app to outlook 2016 instead of filling everything all again? I like the built in mail app as it is fast lightweight and save time
i have a clean install of windows 10 pro, before i had a windows 7 and was using the built-in administrator account without problems.
Now in windows 10 i'm using the built in administrator account but facing problems
1) if i leave the "security settings==>local policies==>security options==> User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account==> disabled" as it is the default option i can't run the new windows programs like settings, edge... etc.
2) if i change User Account Control: Use Admin Approval Mode for the built-in Administrator account to enabled, i can't install certain programs and also i have to run some applications as administrator (which i don't want to do for every application and that's why i use the built-in administrator account), to get full access to the windows drive "c:" and it's subfolders.
I've Dell latitude 3330 which is connected to school domain. Before i disconnected from school domain i created user name- Admin but forgot to set it in Administrator. I'm now in Standard User instead of Administrator. But some how Built-in Administrator account is enable but i don't know the password of Built-in Administrator account. Is that possible to reset Built-in Administrator password?
I installed Windows 10 from Windows 7, and now I can't open Settings using my account (which is an administrator account). I apparently have to use a different account, but I don't have one, and with no access to Settings, I can't make another account. I tried booting into Safe Mode, but I couldn't create an account there, either -- I clicked "create new user in PC settings" (or something along those lines), but nothing happened.
