    IDT Audio Error on Startup

    I have a HP dv7t. Works great but on occasion (twice a week or so) I get an error message on startup that IDT Audio has closed due to an error. The error message is the typical Windows Vista error message that you receive when a program unexpectedly closes down. Because of this, I have no audio from my speakers until I restart my computer (headphones do work though). The IDT Audio Settings program that runs in my taskbar is still there, so that didn't close.
    I am running the latest driver from HP's website: 6.10.6087.0 A

    Any ideas why this happens sometimes?

    Thanks

    Do you have any USB connected to your laptop??? I have had the same error quite a few times by now, but as far as I've seen, it only happens when I have a USB connected during boot.

    I believe there is a 6.10.6087.22 driver if you do a search I think you can find it. Not sure if it will help but its worth a try.

    Hi there...I was trying out when the IDT has an error, on my end, every time I plug my 8gb flash drive, I get the error, same as when it starts with it plugged in. I have not found a way around this. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Hmm... you're issue seems slightly different than mine, but probably similar in some ways too. When I plug in my flash drive I haven't gotten the problem and I usually don't leave my flash drive in during startup. When I startup I have my HP printer and USB mouse connected via USB and I also sometimes have my headphones plugged in.

    I'm still trying to find a fix. I read this on another thread:

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks

    I've been getting IDT audio stopped working messages for months now on this dv7-1270us. Sometimes right after windows loads, other times randomly. The sound still seems to work though. Any driver or workaround updates?
