Hp DV2000 Sound and volume problem

Hi there

i wonder if anyone could help me to solve a problem

i fitted a new motherboard for my sis on her hp dv2000

all went well apart from i did not have any audio  But have volume now

and the power switch cover quickplay blue led lights and keys do not work

so i can,t mute my volume  the icon in the task bar shows a red cross but still does not work

i have ordered a new ribbon for the power switch cover incase that is the reason

i have done all the normal things like installed the audio bus driver then the conexant dirver with great difficulty

i have installed quick play and quick launch  with no avail

does any one have any idea please or have anyone else had the same problem ???

many thanks

Hi there

Thank you for your imput and reply

my os is xp and yes device manager reconizes the conexant audio driver

before i installed the audio driver i installed the muu audio bus

then when i installed the conexant audio driver it seemed to replace the audio bus

so now device manager does not show the audio bus but does show the audio working correctly

i had service pack 3 installled but now have uninstalled it back to pack 2 and installed the bus driver for

service pack 2  also tried the patch for the audio bus for service pack 2

many thanks

Hi again

thanks for your interest

the sound is coming out perfectly clear

i just cant mute the sound

is it because the quickplay blue led light keys are not working which has the volume mute and up/down key

many thanks

and it can be heard throuhout the house rather noisey and i cannot turn it down

Hi

imy FN is working on other things  but i dont think the dv2000/2054EA  has any other keys to work the volume with the fn key  ???

 i wish it did i have ordered a new tape/ribbon  which i believe works the quickplay strip  im hoping this will fix my problem  but im not holding my breath

do you know of anything else that may affect the quickplay blue led keys  ??????

many thanks

maggie

Hi

thanks for the info

i have tried reinstalling the HP quickplay and anything else to do with  the quickplay

i even used the F11 and did a factory restore hoping that would sort it but no such luck

i will have another look around the forum

many thanks for your input

Hi

last week i updated my bios to version F39

i think i have tried almost every option that i know about or have read about

maggie

Hi again

because of what you said earlier on your post about the FN plus another key i went to have a look

and believe it or not  the FN + arrow  up  or left moves volume up  and  FN + arrow down and left lowers it even though there is no sign on the keys  ( Thankyou  ) 

i am at the min burn the recovery disks so i cannot turn down and restart to see if windows remembers that it is  turned down i will post and let you know

when i have a chance to do it

many thanks

maggie

Hi

i have allready burned a set of recovery disks months ago but the system does not like the dvd-r disks

why does the laptop allow you to burn a dual layer dvd  recovery disk

then when you want to use it tells you that it is not compatible with the pc

so i did another set using 2 x dvd-r  it allowed me to do it

but when i went to test them once again not compatible

how annoying

anyway back to the sound

i used the FN + arrow down no  sound from anything  i thought  bingo

BUT  when starting up windows again  the souund belted out just as loud as ever

thats me stumped again

anyway i thought because i have updated the bios maybe i should do a complete factory reboot again on the fresh bios  so that is what i am doing now

many thanks

maggie

Hi there

many thanks for your help and input I'm sure there is a lot of people out there that would not know where to start with some of these problems

I have already choose no sound  and then saved it calling it no sound  its just that this is not the default setting and i am a  bit of a perfectionist and like things to work correctly 

but really i should be proud of myself for reviving a dead laptop

once again many thanks

Hi there

I have finally sorted the audio i managed to find a uaa bus driver that my new motherboard would except then a hd audio driver that worked

also fitted a new ribbon/cable from the power switch cover to the motherboard

now both my blue led quickplay lights keys and audio all works correctly and when i plug in my headphones they now mute the onboard speakers

so i am well pleased

many thanks
