Software troubleshooting

Some software repairs are as simple as restarting your computer, and others require performing a System
Recovery from files on your hard disk drive.
Ensure that the device and the computer are on.
Ensure that the source you want has a check mark next to it in the onscreen menu
(either HDMI or composite audio/video).
The system is on Mute. Press the Volume + or Volume – button on the side of the
computer to get out of Mute state.
Ensure that the correct audio source is selected. If an HDMI-compatible device is
connected, press the A/V button to enable the onscreen display, and then press the A/
V button until HDMI is selected. If composite audio/video is connected, use the button
to select composite.
Open the Audio Settings menu from within the gaming application to ensure that the
correct audio format output is selected. Choose Digital Stereo, or PCM Audio. (HP
TouchSmart PC does not support AC3, DTS, Dolby Digital 5.1.)
If you see the following audio warning onscreen, it means one of two errors:
The A/V source mode is HDMI, but the audio output is Dolby Digital or DTS.
