The NBR fix doesn't work completely. It yields better results for speakers than headphones. I've been playing with the Lauren2 file until 3am this morning, basically zeroing all values that seem to activate a feature I don't like. I managed to turn off Centre, Focus, and the 3D Surround, but the limiter and TrueBass (some multiband compressor that squeezes the mid frequencies out when there's a bassy part to the music) stay on. It's getting there though.

I have a feeling that different configuration files contain settings for different laptop models, and editing all of them may be the only way to be sure you got the file that works on your laptop.

At least we're getting somewhere. My goal is to have the sound come out bare, but with the EQ working.

Dear all,

 

The Lauren2.xml and other xml files in the directory, are specific to different models.  Therefore, you must test each xml, till you find the one that effects your system model.  So far in the above posts, I only see Envy laptops being tested successfuly.  So for dv6 and dv7 users, we may need to try another xml.

Could you please post the exact models that this fix works on? Do different Envy models use the same xml file?

Hey Movies32, are you saying that you tried the newest fix from NBR and that it didn't work?


Yeah.  I tried it last night and it did not seem to work.  I have a DV6Z

You can tell which file your laptop uses by checking the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IDT\Config\UI" key in the registry. Look for a value called "Config_SRSPreset". It will contain the XML your laptop uses. Match it with the one in the "C:\Program Files\IDT\WDM" directory.

 

In the Lauren2.xml file, I modified the values below:

 

<control name="MAXV-Volume Control Max Gain">1200</control>     This was 3909 on some  and  1200 on others.

 

and

 

<control name="VIQ-Process Enable">1</control>    This was 0 on some  and 1 on others.

copitlory, please see my post above. It may help with some clues to modifying the file specific to your laptop.

There are a couple of questions that I have.  Hopefully someone can answer one of them.

 

First of all, I do not see "Config_SRSPreset" when I go into the regedit.  Is it under something else or should I mess around with all the files?  Even after changing the values to the ones that bcrsr put I did not notice much difference if any.

 

Another problem I am having is when I go into Beats and attempt to adjust the "listening experince" nothing happens.  I turn bass, treble, center, space, and focus up and down and nothing happens whatsoever to the sound.  Even if I change to the three different settings Music, Voice, and Movie there is no change in the sound at all.  The only way to change the sound is to use the Graphic Equalizer.  Do I need to reinstall the current driver to fix that problem?  Is anyone else having this problem?

 

My final problem is if I try and reinstall a previous driver none of them work.  Only the current driver will allow my computer to play sound (Version:  6.10.6381.0).  Any ideas why this is happening?

 

 

EDIT:  As of this moment I am not hearing any volume fluctuations.  If I do, they are almost not noticeable.  This has nothing to do with changing the XML values because I put the original files back in.  I will let you know if there are any changes (It may change once I restart my computer).  However, I would still like some information on my previous questions if anyone can help.

 


Update:  I can still hear audio swings, but they are not as noticeable as before.  Actually they are much less noticeable (maybe it's the settings I have it on), but putting in headphones I can hear swings all over the place.  I would still love to install a previous driver, but I have no idea why it's not working.

try this,

 

1. download "slimdrivers"  google it

2. scan it for newest updates for your drivers

3. look for "IDT audio codec" upgrade it

4. restart you laptop "your sounds are gone its OK'"

5. go to start,run, "hp recovery manager"

6. choose drivers and application reinstall

7. choose IDT hi-def audio drivers

8. restart

9. test "play a song"

 

it works for me now i can play music with 100% volume w/o volume swing

on my hp dv6-7014tx,

 

tell me if it works for you too... ^^
