Compaq Presario R3000 Sound card problem - I tap on PC to fix

Try a different microphone if this fails look at the properties of your sound device in the control panel and set it for default recorder.

You need to uninstall and reinstall its sound driver. It will fix the problem.

Hey mate,

You should look for an external audio card maybe some of the capacitators and transistors in your built in sound device have ceased.

Check the web for external sound card for your notebook.

You have a great night.

Do advise on the results.

Hi

The sound card drivers are most likely missing / not installed.
You can download them from the HP/compaq website

click this link and select the Driver - Audio and downlod this is a orgnol driver for hp web site working 100% ...........ok

Probably the contact between the soundboard and the mainboard; see here

The sound board is connected to the mainboard by a connector and contra-connector, both soldered to their boards.. If you want to do it right, you will have to remove several screws from that bottom corner and left side, under the battery too, so that you can lift up the mainboard's corner (gently!) a bit, and put in back in place firmly. It is located just above the top left side of the battery compartment, when looking at the bottom with the front toward you. A more durable option is to take the bugger apart, and put washers max. 1mm thick under the soundboard to get a better snap-in on those connectors.

Sounds like the auto-dim in the BIOS is set too low. Fortunately the Compaq R3000 allows you to adjust the brightness right from the keyboard. Hold down the [FN] function key while tapping the [F8] key will brighten the screen, while [FN]-[F7] will dim it. The settings are different for running on AC power and battery, so you must do each individually.

Check first if your sound card is working properly.

My Computer >> Right click...Properties >> hardware >> Device manager >> Sound

Then go to Start >> Control Panel >> Sound and Audio Devices .........hit ADVANCED

one dialog appears MASTER VOLUME >> Go to OPTIONS >> Then PROPERTIES..........

CHECK the MICROPHONE...........Hit OK.............

This will be fixing your problem (if your sound card is working well)
