Audio Problems

If sound is not audible
Press Fn+Up Arrow several times.
Click the speaker icon on the taskbar to ensure that Mute is not checked.
When you are operating your computer in MS-DOS mode (for example, when
running MS-DOS games), you may find that the sound does not operate properly.
Use Windows applications for full use of sound capabilities.
If sound does not record
Check software controls for recording sound: Start, Programs, Accessories,
Multimedia (or Entertainment), Sound Recorder.
You may also want to test the audio with diagnostics. See Testing Hardware Operation.
If the PC card detection beep(s) at startup are very loud and volume cannot be
adjusted
Download the latest audio driver from the technical support area of the HP notebook
Web site (http://www.hp.com/notebooks).

CD-ROM Drive Problems

If you can't boot from a CD in the CD-ROM drive
Make sure the CD is a bootable CD, such as the Recovery CD.
If you always want to boot from a CD when one is present, check the boot order in
BIOS Setup.
1. From the Start menu, shut down, then restart the computer.
2. When you see the HP logo, press Esc to open the Boot menu. The default boot
order is (1) Diskette A, (2) Hard Drive C, and (3) CD-ROM/DVD.
