hp laptop audio and video problems (unless connected through hdmi)
Problem started a little over a month ago on my HP laptop running Windows 7 64bit.
When I connect the laptop to my either of my TVs through an hdmi cord everything works fine. Videos run smoothly and the audio is in sync as if there's no problem.
If I try to watch a video on just the laptop though the problems start. If I try to play anything (songs/videos) in Windows Media Player then it says "Windows media player encountered a problem while playing this file".
When I play a video on YouTube the video runs smoothly but there isn't any audio to go with it.
If I go to control panel - sound - speakers and headphone properties and try to play a test sound it says 'failed to play test tone'
Attempted to update the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC driver but windows said it was up to date. Same thing with the Intel(R) Display Audio driver.
Thanks for any help
