Re: Intel G33 G31 Audio Drivers Download
Katerine Aldrige
I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 on an Intel NUC nuc10i7fnh box, with no problem. I have updated the BIOS to the latest, and enabled "HD Audio". Everything is good, except I have been unable to get audio working. (The only output-source is "dummy", which is what I feel like).
I think it's the lack of Realtek drivers, and this is the only thing I've seen in questions, that I haven't yet tried. All of the official Realtek and Intel docs, seem to point to Windows drivers. After a lot of searching, I've found some Linux drivers:
More generally, can Ubuntu be installed on an Intel NUC, and audio configured to work at all? I've seen lots of recommendations for the Intel NUC as a good Linux-box - I can't believe everyone else would have missed audio being broken.
This is in response to dunbrokin's post. I have a NUC11PAHi5 (which I assume is the same as the NUC11PAHi7 except for CPU) running Ubuntu 21.04 and am able to get the HDMI audio working by locking the screen (using Super-L or Windows-L), wait a few seconds for the screen to go black, and then unlocking the screen.
Interestingly when I boot-up with the Ubuntu 21.04 live USB, the HDMI audio works fine without needing to do the screen lock trick. I've also noticed that Ubuntu 20.04.3 and Fedora 34 have the same problem.
I wanted to give you an update. there was an optional driver update I did (forget what was for) but I thought it might fix the ALC4050 audio driver issues. so, I tried to install ALC4050 audio driver again and this is what I am getting now.
I RIGHT click on it and choose "Disable Device". As soon as I do that, NO MORE POPPING SOUNDS. However, the audio is not quite as rich (it's good sound, but not as good as when it is enabled--but the popping sound just drives me nuts).
Thanks Xavier! Tell your boss to give you a raise. Your solution worked great. In the past I have always used the generic drivers from Intel (since they are updated much more frequently than the HP drivers)---turn out that's not a good idea with this computer.
2. Go the Device Manger, RIGHT click on HD 620 under display drivers and choose "uninstall", then in the box that pops up put a check in the box for "delete all drivers for this device". If you get a message that you're about to install drivers older than the current drivers, choose YES/install/OK. Whenit's finished and it asks to reboot, choose LATER.
3. Still in Device Manager, under System Devices, RIGHT click on Intel Smart Sound Technology (Intel(R( SST) Audio Controller and choose "uninstall", then in the box that pops up put a check in the box for "delete all drivers for this device".
I have an Arc A770 that is working well on my system except for one persistent audio issue. I technically have a workaround but the issue is clearly a bug. I am on Win10, Ryzen3700X, MSI B450M motherboard, 4314 drivers for ARC.
My audio is using HDMI from the Arc to my Samsung Q90B television. My motherboard's onboard audio is disabled to prevent conflict. The issue is that every time I start my system and log into Windows, my audio is always disabled. The little speaker icon to change audio/volume settings in the lower right corner is crossed with a red line and when I click on it, Windows goes into diagnostic mode. But it fails to identify the problem if I use it.
The solution that works to fix it is to go into device manager, go to "sound, video and game controllers" then disable and re-enable "HD Audio Driver for Display Audio." This consistently corrects the issue and audio then works. For some reason, when it is re-enabled, device manager then shows 2 "HD Audio Driver for Display Audio" instead of 1.
I've had this issue right at the offset as soon as I installed the card. The card was installed on top of a fresh Windows 10 installation, so there's definitely no remnants from past drivers. Resizable bar is enabled.
Thanks for the suggestions. I won't be trying it on a different monitor, simply due to the fact that I don't have one. I've tried different cables and no luck.
I also tried Neo-Freeman's suggestion and it didn't change anything as well. When I re-enabled my motherboard audio, Windows recognized it as spdif, but obviously no sound was provided since I didn't have my motherboard's audio options plugged into my TV. The ARC's audio option was not even recognised in the audio options, and the same step of disabling it then re-enabling it in device manager got it working again.
but your MB soundoption will be used and redirected to the hdmi. after you reenabled the sound you need to reinstall the gpu driver and withit the included audio thing that does the hdmi audio support. just uninstall all , both sound and gpu drivers. and install sound first and then the gpu driver. for me it works and i use my system on a TV with just a hdmi cable. its a QN95B from samsung. and befor this same on a Sony TV and a Philips.
I just installed my first a770 today. It is connected to a television with hdmi 2.1. Windows detects my tv properly as an audio device, and the hd display driver appears in my devices (twice, just like with the op, apparently). Anyway, no sound comes out of the tv. I tested with a different monitor with speakers, no difference. I uninstalled and reinstalled the ARC driver and disabled and enabled the audio devices and drivers in windows multiple times, and only once, for a brief moment did the sound come on, but it went away after I closed the arc control app and opened it again.
Mine started a strange new behaviour yesterday: the sound works over hdmi for a random duration of time, usually 1-20 seconds, and always stops working for 5 seconds exactly before turning on for a random time again! So strange. But again, I just use the headphone jack and check every update if audio over hdmi starts working properly.
So I just installed Arch on my new computer(Hp Spectre), and one of the first things that I noticed after going into KDE was that under audio devices, it says that no input or output devices are found
I think the problem may be that Arch fails to detect the intel sound card. When I go into alsamixer, the only card that shows up is my NVIDIA card. Under KDE advanced audio options, it seems to detect HDA NVIDIA under device profiles, but there are no devices detected, which leads me to think that it may be on my Intel sound card, which has yet to be detected. This may have something to do with the dual graphics card system that I have. What I did for that was install the NVIDIA and intel drivers and then optimus-manager, which I set to hybrid mode.
? It really does look quite dire, it does recognize an intel card but it doesn't allocate an accessible node. Is linux-firmware installed? I also have a faint recollection of certain HP models having broken verb tables, in which case a BIOS/UEFI update might help if applicable.
So, to Windows, it looks like an additional soundcard appears on your system, for which a driver is needed. So if you connect a monitor on the other end of your HDMI or DisplayPort and it can play sound, you can send sound to that monitor by selecting "Intel Display Audio" or similar as your audio device.
Some display interfaces, like HDMI and DisplayPort, can carry audio along with video. This audio stream might get played back by your monitor's internal speakers or you might send it to a dedicated "audio receiver", that strips off the audio signal, sends it out via e. g. S/PDIF, analog RCA or even digital (AES/EBU) or analog XLR.
In fact, both HDMI and DisplayPort can even carry a lot more than video and audio. HDMI can carry Ethernet at 100 Mbit/sec. DisplayPort has a powerful "auxiliary data channel" that can carry arbitrary binary data at a rate of currently 780 Mbit/sec, but that is certainly gonna increase in further iterations.
The OS version is Windows 10 Home 21h2. After a very recent update, it can no longer detect and audio output. Upon entering device manager it said no Intel High Definition Audio Drivers were installed and attempting to update via device manager gave no results. If anyone know where I can get a driver for this or some other fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help, unfortunately there seems to be a problem with installing and deleting drivers as the corrupt one reappears after deleting and rebooting. The problem Driver is labelled as Other Devices and named Intel High Definition Audio(Error code 28). Would you know what to do?
Hello, how was you able to fix the outdated Intel Smart Sound Driver? I have a HP pavilion x360 as well that runs on Microsoft Window 10 (64-bit) and I'm experiencing the same problem like you had. The same person, BANHIEN, that helped you out, told me to install Realtek audio drivers from the Intel website since updating to a new OS (Windows 11), that the older OS (Windows 10) audio drivers won't be supported afterwards.
All was working well. resent update result in audio failure. There is no device installed and can not be fix with drivers from Microsoft update site or manually. When connect external speaker sound is ok.
Thank you a million for posting this solution. It fixed my absent internal speakers and microphone, plus missing Bluetooth mic, issues that I've been having for months. I thought it was a hardware issue, as both HP's and Microsoft's automatic problem scanners could pick up no issue. Now that you showed the issue is in some Intel system driver that didn't update properly, I now recall back that the last time things were working, my PC was running very hot (meaning it was doing an update). Then the audio stopped. HP and Microsoft (and Intel): you should be ashamed.
For some reason my audio driver was missing on my laptop so I manually installed an updated version. I can hear sound now but when I plug my headphones in the sound still plays out loud and also in the headphones. Any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I see from your post that you are having issues with the audio not working after the recent windows update. Don't worry we're here to help you.
