Hello!
I write here as to show that the problem doesn't seem to be unique. I am really not the type to complain but now after 6 months I have had enough with this problem!
I own an Elitebook 8470p with windows 8 dualbooting ubuntu. The hp elitebook came without exploitation system, I installed a purchased windows 8 version.
Same problem as some of the guys here: my headphone jacks don't work, whem I plug them in, the speakers stop but I don't hear anything through the jack. And sometimes they do, but it only to seem "good luck" when I am pushing the power up button. (it works less often than it works)
Yes, I've updated the drivers a 1000 times, I've also tried to uncheck "allow applications to take exclusive control over this device" and everything that has been suggested.
Mechanically they work fine as in ubuntu (as always) I never had a problem. It's just a problem between hp and windows.
I am sorry to post here with such an aggressivness, but I am really SICK of searching.
Moreover the preinstalled printer drivers don't seem to work neither, as I cannot print with my brother hl1230 printer. But this annoys me less, as I than switch to ubuntu to print (because here again, it works)
Thank you for your help!
I am really exhausted, especially that I have to work with youtube and videos now and not being able not to annoy the whole company is just so. sad.
Cordially,
Lionel
