Re: Envy Beats Audio Driver Windows 10
Gifford Brickley
Because there apparently is nothing specific for WIndows 10 on my laptop (even though my laptop works fine with the Windows 10 update), following your directions just lost me my functioning audio device! Why is HP too lazy to have an update to their drivers for their products that have an processing system that updates? I managed to find a way to playback sounds before, and only the microphone was an issue with beats audio not updating, but now I lost it all!
I have problems with IDT High Definition Audio on HP 6465b running Windows 10. Upon launching any audio (including video files, music, games etc.) the computer freezes. When I launch Task Manager, I see Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation process taking 100 % of HDD usage. After a while (usually 10 - 60 seconds) the audio starts playing and HDD usage of this process goes down back to zero. Very annoying.
This issues started back in Windows 8.1 Update 1. The solution back there was to install HP IDT Audio drivers for Windows 7 in compatibility mode. I have tried this for Windows 10 without any success.
I know currently two workarounds for this issue, but none is desirable. You can (1) install generic High Definition Audio drivers, or (2) disable enhancements in sound panel properties. Both this workarounds lead to extremely bad, muffled audio, like sound frequencies are not mapped correctly.
HP currently does not provide updated sound driver for my laptop. The last version is for Windows 8.1, which causes this problems as well.
Unfortunately the Hewlett-Packard (HP) support site does not list any available drivers for the HP Envy 17-2000 series of laptops lately (not even for Win7 or any Windows version). I've recently tried searching for them there and came up emptyhanded (I guess you're basically screwed). You can direct your complaints about that to HP here or in the HP forums.
HP forums are a form of purgatory ;D. Our AMD mobility modding site used to get flooded by people from the HP forums trying to get fixes for their mobility devices. My laptop was one of those really strange ones which should have received Win 8 support from HP but never did precisely because of the switchable Intel + AMD graphics.
Am currently working on modding AMD 16.101.x drivers for mobility devices since pre GCN devices have also seen their last days of support from AMD. Much like a farewell driver and then I will take another crack at trying to understand how to mod IDT drivers properly. Last time I tried it just turned into a bit of a mess.
Complaining to MS might be the better strategy at this point since they are able to push Tempo into creating a new driver if there are severe issues with Win 10 + IDT. We tried a similar approach once when all newer AMD drivers caused people with the whole Mobility 5xxx gen and some 6xxx gens to only show a blackscreen on Win 10. It took the whole community to complain on the MS boards for AMD to finally fix the issues so that people could use Win 10. Unfortunately IDT drivers don't have the same type of leverage.
The HP support site was acting weird when I made my previous post but HP fixed their site around this past weekend and it properly displays a list of available Win7 drivers for the HP Envy 17-2000 series.
I didn't consider that the ProBook is SRS but the main issue on both devices seemed to be this HDD issue which now is no issue for r4in. I also stopped having the HDD issues once I did that frankenbuild of my Windows 7 driver. (injecting newer dlls from the Tempo + one of the last beats packages from HP without modding the ini / inf files - besides signaturelevel + certificate).
However the sp63555.exe package installed fine but the sound was muffled. The Beats options were unfortunately not working. And the equalizer also didn't work which probably explains the sound. Otherwise the driver was working without issues. The IDT beats panel was working without crashing upon exist. But the sound was muffled which made it tough to work with.
I reverted to my frankenmod Envy 17 driver (newer dlls etc). However this driver shares the issue of the beats sliders not working (even though switching this on and off makes a difference to the base). The equalizer on these drivers does work which is at least better than nothing.
Seems like I have a very unfortunate device "(perhaps yours is either a late 2010 or early 2011 model)." One of the reasons that it wasn't upgraded by HP was the 120Hz screen being incompatible with dynamic switchable graphics on Windows 8 I assume.
The device didn't even include graphics updates because of this reason since the AMD drivers went into the direction of dynamic switching as opposed to fixed switching (which was compatible with 120Hz + 3D)
not sure what to say but try these other unmodded IDT audio drivers; be sure to uninstall existing IDT audio driver & reboot before trying these other versions (v6499 to v6504 from HP no longer support your hardware):
and updated APO (audio processing object) resource DLL files (like stapo.dll & stapo64.dll) had to be updated to support these new EFX/MFX/SFX stuff. Similar things also happen with other HD audio drivers from Conexant, Creative, Realtek & VIA when they were created in late 2013.
And does your HP Envy 17-2000 laptop have the latest BIOS? I think the latest version for that one is vF.1C from sp59847.exe. Run either MS System Information tool (msinfo32.exe) or DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe) to gather BIOS version. Only update the BIOS if existing version is less than F.1C.
I've privately done my own "frankenmod" IDT audio + Dolby driver months ago (based on Lenovo's IDT v6503 drivers that have either Dolby V4 or Dolby DST/V5) and used them on my mom's Dell Inspiron e1405 laptop that has onboard Sigmatel/IDT STAC9200 audio. Sound was already loud, even at 20% or 25% volume level w/ Dolby enabled - mainly because Dell put really high quality laptop speakers that produce pretty good bass sounds on the e1405 laptop. The original Sigmatel/IDT audio drivers (like v6.10.5343, v6.10.5614.0 and v6.10.5866.0) from Dell never had any serious audio enhancements and were just plain audio drivers (and had lame control panel options).
el problema es el siguiente, hoy salio una actualizacion de windows 10, le di aceptar y estuvo un par de horas actualizando, pero me desinstalo el controlador de los beats audio, y suenan horrible, he buscado el controlador en la pag de hp y no me aparece por ningun lado.
3) Click the Update button next to a flagged audio device to automatically download the latest audio driver (you can do this with the FREE version), then install it in your computer.
