Recently I've had some problems playing back any sort of media. At regular intervals the audio freezes/skips for a second and makes a loud grinding noise, then resumes.

Answer by Sean Hill

This happens because a driver is not compatible with the operating system where it's installed. To overcome this issue, simply re-install a new driver for your wireless or audio device. I have experienced the same issue as well and most likely it's an IRQ conflict. Replacing the driver with an updated one should fix this issue and restore functionality of audio playback.


You can find the driver on the manufacturer's website. You can get the model from Device manager (Start > Run > devmgmt.msc).

Hello,


I just purchased a hp compaq presario a900 notebook pc last week from best buy. They were supposed to have it set up so that when I got home all I had to do was connect my netgear router and whala!, i would be ready to get online...(I paid the $50 extra for them to download and install everything...) the problem is that I cannot get my laptop to even LET me turn on my WLAN.
When I am in the HP Wireless Assistant, It says " This device has been disabled by the wireless button. TO enable this device, press on the wireless button..."
But when I do it still will NOT let me. (In properties, all 4 are chked) and when I TRY and click on "SETUP", this is what comes up:
a box from Windows Internet Explorer- "Your WLAN is turned off or disabled. Foloow the instructions in HP Wireless Assistant to turn on or enable the WLAN before continueing..."


the problem with that is that when I hit the f-10 button and go into the system config, there is no "built in device "option" ???


Please help me, as I cannot connect to the internet and I am so frustrated at this point.


Thanks so much.
Paula

Answer by Alex Urbach

Usually these type of programs are strongly influenced by the device's functionality where they are located. For example, if the device's hardware is not working properly then these applications will also have issues. In either case, you should remove/uninstall the current driver and perform a fresh installation. If the Assistant application refuses to uninstall, you should perform an overwrite, meaning that you should install over your current installation.

HP Wireless Assistant will enable or disable the wireless module only if it was activated by the button. For the application to work properly, enable the WiFi from the button then you can control it using this application.

I have a HP Pavillon DV 6000 computer and until now I have no problem. I'm not able to download HP Wireless Assistant. Where can I download it?

Answer by Murtuza

I guess you use VISTA... This problem happens most of the time when you change your OS... There's nothing to fear...To get any driver for hp notebook, go to the hp.ca website...go down to driver and software download, type in the product number for ur notebook, then it'll ask you for the type of operatin system u have, select ur os and then it'll take you to a page wid all the drivers for ur notebook type..if its listed on that page then its there....otherwise do not download it from any other site, cause it just wont work! If this also doesn't work then Download the latest bios version and install it... This will surely work...

Answer by Robert Polubinski

Wireless Assistant is not limited to a certain amount of devices. This means that you can use it on HP devices with WiFi technology installed. It's possible that the software package you've installed is corrupted making it impossible to detect anything. Try to download a new package from HP and install it with Administrator rights.

Answer by Stephen Prastman

HP Wireless Assistant works only with HP products. If you have a HP WLAN device, you can use it. Every WiFi portable device has its own configuration software.
