• (Redirected) Alienware M17x R4: Windows7 not detecting SATA DVD/CD internal optical drive, game dvd stuck inside.

  Hello, I need help here because I can't really understand what causes the problem.

  I inserted a BioShock 2 legit installation DVD, and my CD/DVD drive does not detect. I tried to take the drive by pressing the eject ODD button, but nothing happened.

  Under 'My Computer' my drive does not appear.

  In Device Manager, it does not show any CD/DVD player either.

  Control of my computer

  

  I took a lot of steps trying to find out what is happening, and I thought it was a problem of software based.

  Ran the Dell diagnostics, Fix It, started and checked in safe mode and pretty much everything what they advised me to do in the guides.

  One step, I am committed not, where do I look for the registry subkey 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}' and change the filters upper and/or lower, because there is no filters to change.

  The last step, I got added the following subkey to atapi in regedit.

  

  When you pull up my laptop, I hear my work in the car. During the ejection of pressing, looks like she is about to eject the disc, but nothing has yet come out.

  The CD/DVD drive is recognized in the BIOS but does not appear in my device manager. It becomes clear to power. In the BIOS, it mentions "SATA ODD MATSHITARV11 Downloader". It is also displayed in Intel RST.

  

  I don't have that a single HARD drive on my laptop, and in my BIOS my SATA operations are on RAID. It would make a difference if I switch to AHCI? Could it be a loose connector causing this problem of detection for my OS? If so, isn't weird that my BIOS is always detect? I am able to boot from the CD/DVD, but when I do just start of my storage drive as he always does.

  Any ideas?

• Alienware 14 - integrated graphics not detected in BIOS

  Recently my NVidia graphics card was not detected in the bios and in Device Manager, so I contacted Dell and they replaced my motherboard (NVidia is built into the motherboard). Now I can see my NVidia card in my system. But original window 8 still gives me blue screen error (ERROR FATALE VIDEO) and when the pc is restarted, NVidia has also disappeared. But I see once again when I shut down and turn on again. So, I use my own 8.1 window, and all is still ok, now with the exception of two errors.

  First one, it of my intel graphics hd went and not detected in the BIOS. I don't want to run on NVidia card all the time.

  Second, one is that I can not install my killer LAN driver for my LAN network. I can only install driver wifi.

  Is it because of 8.1 window problem or hardware problem? I hope the technician Dell can help me. Thank you.

  Now, I solved the problem. Thanks for your advice. Problem is that in windows 8, I can see the two crads graphics in Manager mode optimus devices or not. But in windows 8.1 I don't see them both when I'm in the mode optimus, only nvidai map is visible in Device Manager. But can see them both in mode no optimus. Hope that the answer will help others.

• L300 satellite speakers do not work - no audio device not detected

  I just bought a L300 and the speakers do not work.
  The computer says there is no audio device detected and when I checked it is said more far there are no drivers installed for the speakers, and I can't find a way to install them. Can anyone help?

  Can I ask you if you use the OS preinstalled Toshiba?
  The message; No audio device detected means that it sound card doesn't work.
  Why? Well, maybe the audio driver has not been installed properly?

  Please check this!

  PS: Is there any yellow exclamation point in Device Manager?

• Alienware 17 - integrated graphics not detected in BIOS - cannot switch to the integrated graphics card

  As the title says, I own an Alienware 17, bought around November of 2013. My NVidia GeForce GTX 770 M runs like a champ. But I can't go to the integrated graphics card (should be Intel HD Graphics 4600). I tried the Fn + F5 (several times). It is said that it is "optimal". Tried with the laptop plugged in and not plugged. I looked in Device Manager and there is only a single index card (NVidia) view. I then booted the BIOS and it said: 'Integrated Graphics - undetected. " I have the latest BIOS version available on the support Web site.

  Don't know what to do at this point. I should have integrated and discrete, but only discreet is detected. I want to be able to switch to the Intel card, so that I can mess around with things like the Intel WiDi and want to also DO NOT perform my NVidia card all the time, and because I'm not playing games all the time.

  Any ideas? All support staff out there who can help out me?

  Cub... I think I might have answered my own question... My laptop has the option to display 3D 120 Hz. For this reason, 'Optimus' technology is not available (I think I say this right), and so I can't go to the graphics card Intel because of the way the 3D display is wired. There is a YouTube video that I saw what explains the all (link below).

  "Alienware 17 with 120 Hz 3D display has no integrated graphics":

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=RJ3IRvCkllg

  Then... Not sure that I'm too happy with Dell right now. One of the advantages that I looked forward had to be able to change maps and play with some of the features of the Intel WiDi map in particular. When I bought the laptop, I was not made aware that I would lose the functionality of upgrade of the screen to get the 3D option. Would have been nice to know, so that I know what are the trade-offs.

• "no audio device not detected" with the other oddities

  I'm a form of error message 'no audio device detected' each time than trying to use a program with sound.  ITunes, for example, says "Itunes has detected a problem with your sound configuration."  No sound works on the computer at all.  I have a dell Inspiron E1505 with I think it's the integrated audio system.  I tried to reinstall the drivers and that sound showcases are activated and similar these fixes.  Another oddity: sometimes my laptop speakers do weird sounds like it is a kind of bad connection inside, but I opened the computer to check and nothing seems to be wrong.  In addition, once a week ago, I turned on the computer and everything works fine until I closed the computer and opened again to find nothing works again.  Ideas?

• Alienware x 51 R2 before audio Jack does not

  After I upgraded to Windows 10 does not have the front audio jack and it detects that no helmet dell has no drivers on their website for my PC. Any help is appreciated

  Simply reset alienware audio to the default settings and rebooted my computer. Now everything works.

• Inspiron 15 do not detect the headphones into the audio input jack

  Yes, I checked to make sure it wasn't the atria. I used 2 different pairs, each of the works fine on my other computer.

  My laptop has been recently upgraded to Windows 8.1. Since then, the audio Jack was my ear has been detected. This has not happened before.

  Also, I know there are a lot of laptops with 'Inspiron 15', but I don't know exactly which one it is. If you could tell me how to find it, I'll do.

  If you want to try the native audio driver, the instructions are through this link above. If you want to see if it is better to have a driver directly from Realtek:

  Go to the selection of downloads Realtek page. http://www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads/
  On the page, click on 'High Definition Audio Codecs.
  Check "I accept", and then click "next".
  In the column named "Description" you can find the file named README. Who has the instructions for the installation or update.
  In the column named "Download", click one of the server names to download the Readme.
  Return to the column named "Description" and select your operating system (and if it is 32 bit or 64 bit) at the top of page 2 choice in the list.
  In the column named "Download", click one of the server names to download the driver.

  The current version on the Realtek site is R2.75. Don't know how that one differs from Dell.

• E7440: Audio Jack does not detect all connect more

  Hi all

  I am reported a strange problem. I use E7440 with Windows 7 64-bit with Realtek HD Audio driver (as shown below). My computer also has 'AUDIO DELL' management utility.

  

  Previously, external headphones and portable speakers were working well and whenever I used to insert the pin code of my headphones into the audio jack, a small pop-up used (from the utility DELL AUDIO) used to make appear to select the type of device, I just inserted.

  What happened was, as usual, I inserted the headphones and the popup appeared. I somehow click outside (or closed the popup window) without selecting the device type. Since then, whenever I re - insert the PIN in the audio jack, it behaves as if nothing had happened.

  I tried to fix it by the following methods, but always the same problem.
  -Inside the DELL AUDIO utility, there is an activation or deactivation pop up under the menu option "Advanced > Jack Information." I tried to switch it, thinking that he can reset the pop-up.
  -Inside the DELL AUDIO utility, there is an option to restore the default settings in the menu "Advanced > Restore Defaults. But it also did not help.
  -I uninstalled my audio driver from Device Manager. During the restart of the computer after the uninstall, it automatically installed the audio driver again. Once I did, my speakers have also exploded. In other words, no sound of two internal speakers laptop no audio jack. I had to restore my computer to one of the restore points to undo this uninstalling the driver and reinstalling.
  -I also tried update utility DELL AUDIO via the utility "update DELL client system. But it seems that this utility has some problems too, as ever, he proceeded as planned. I had to do a system restore to restore my computer on track.

  Current situation is the internal laptop talk work very well and any plugin for the audio input jack is not pop - up (to select the type of audio device) while the DELL AUDIO has the option to display the pop-up windows when a new device is inserted.

  I have not checked in any other operating system yet. But I'm sure it's the problem of the DELL AUDIO utility.

  Any guidance will be much appreciated by me and the people around me, who have to listen to my stuff because of this problem of the audio input jack.

  Best regards

  Hello. We have a lot of posts this year on taking undetected on laptops Dell with Realtek audio. I suggest that you try to install the native Windows audio driver. The method is similar to what you were doing when you uninstalled the realtek driver.

  Open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the search box), and then expand "audio, video and game controllers".

  Right-click on "Realtek High Definition Audio", and then select uninstall. This time, put a checkmark in the delete files optionand then on ok. When you restart, Windows will install its own native driver or another driver Realtek if there were other versions on the hard drive. Then go back to Device Manager and look for a Realtek driver. Keep the uninstall & reboot (removing the files each time) until Realtek no longer appears under controllers of noise. Finally, you will see "High definition Audio Device" (native Windows driver) instead of "Realtek High Definition Audio"

  Must work with this driver. If it's not, and if you are still under warranty, report the problem to technical support.

  If the Jack is working, then next download and install a new copy of the driver Realtek. The Audio from Dell Manager is really a truncated version of the Realtek Audio Manager. I don't know, but you might get a new copy of the Audio Dell Manager with the new copy of the Realtek driver. The actual address of Realtek Audio Manager has better controls for the headphone jack, but apparently we can't get it in a Dell laptop.

  If it still doesn't work then try a driver directly from Realtek website. (Return to the native Windows driver each time before trying any different Realtek driver.) You can try the Dell offer and the Realtek drivers.

• Headphone Jack, not to let the two devices at the same time - work Realtek problem - Dell Audio is unusable

  A copy of my post TomsHardware, where no one was trying to help:

  "To begin with, no thread any where online have solved my problem. My problem in the simplest possible terms:

  -J' bought a Razer right headphone, it does not work when it is connected.

  -J' spent the next 4 hours of downloading, re - download, install, uninstall and reinstall the Realtek drivers, because everybody says I had allow a setting or a related subcontractors as struggling separate devices or something, and I do not have the Realtek HD GUI; at least, I don't think so...

  - Then I discovered that Dell has decided to replace GUI from Realtek with "Dell Audio", which had two options, one of them being that it should even display settings or not.

  -J' took a few steps in Dell Community site and spent the Realtek driver with the Microsoft driver, and that got the headset to work.

  -My headset works fine, but the microphone is not yet detected.

  What I have relevance: right Razer headphones + microphone detachable; Dell Inspiron 15 w / only, audio unified; each unique Realtek and Microsoft audio driver compatible with Windows 8.1.

  What I don't have: the Realtek audio Manager.

  What I wish I had not: Audio from Dell.

  Someone please help me on this, because I have just fired over $100 for it, and I intend to use it for professional players and podcasting; no microphone is not cut it.

  Sorry if I look really angry at the moment, but I think we've all been there...

  Thank you. »

  The main issue: there is a definition of Realtek Audio Dell only exists to ban, I need to change that. I need to configure it to allow two different devices to use in the same decision, and Audio Dell replaced Realtek GUI with its own, which is pretty... Pretty useless. The two parameters, as there, one of them is "Show advanced settings", so congratulations to anyone who decided to do this monstrosity.

  EveryNameWasTaken

  Every post that I found online said that the Realtek HD GUI is the way to go

  Since you can't have the DD Realtek Audio Manager in a Dell, one wonders how they determined it was the answer.

  Please provide another way to separate input devices that are entered into the same outlet

  A headset devices are already separated in the properties. A helmet is an input device, microphone, which can be set as the default device in the properties (Control Panel > sound > recording tab > micro). It is for the internal microphone until an external microphone is connected. The other part of the headset, the headset is governed by sounds > playback > speakers. Who controls the speakers until the headphones or external speakers are connected.

  Inspiron 15 3542

  Thank you. I wanted to know because a couple of the Realtek drivers have a problem with the headphones or the part headphones headphones. Headphones are recognized by their impedance detection and I think that some of the drivers have their settings come down a little, or too narrow. None of the Realtek for the Inspiron 3542 versions are known to be bad for me, but if you get audio in the headphones using the native driver but not as the pass of the Realtek driver then I feel that the fault is with the Realtek driver. You can see all the drivers that comes from Dell for your model in the Inspiron 15 3542 html page. There is audio for Win7, 8.1 and 10 pilots. "WB" means 8.1 and 'WT' 10. I think that there are 2 of each. Try the two for any operating system you have. (If you have10 which, in itself, could be the problem - other people have said they have started the headphone problems when they installed 10) You should not try to install an older version of the driver on a newer version. First remove the newest one in the control panel.

  It befuddles me that Dell would give us a different GUI that has so few options

  I don't know if Dell Realtek & made that choice for technical reasons or something. I think that some of the laptops did not have the Realtek Manager when Dell has started using Realtek as a supplier, but that changed. Of course no one is happy to have fewer options, but yours is the first post, I've seen that reported to the mic. Many other posters have been unhappy, because Dell's Audio Manager does not provide a way to separately control the volume of the headset which is a problem because they can be much too strong, but the real Realtek Manager has an option to display ' phones as a separate device from the speakers.

  decision does not have a headphone and microphone with any device I checked

  If the plug does not work with any headphone it either because of the Realtek driver fails detecting the defective hardware or it. You should report to technical support if you have an extended warranty.

  "and I used an adapter USB jack to try my usual Microsoft LifeChat headset).

  Is an adapter USB jack of the same thing that the USB input audio in my previous screenshot? A usb plug avoids the problems of the Realtek combo decision-making because the USB does not use Realtek hardware or driver from Realtek. Headset LifeChat know either, but if they are a usb headset while they should work. USB audio devices are as separate sound cards - each device contains its own audio codec, even the small usb Jack. If a device usb audio does not work, it has nothing to do with the hardware, driver or Realtek Manager.

  You me lost there. The headphones you have tried in the Inspiron have a single plug for a headset jack (4 segments - TAKING), that looks like this?

  each response that I get from either Razer themselves or now these forums was condescending.

  Your two posts today have assumptions that make it difficult to formulate a convincing answer, but I I don't think I'm condescending. I try to avoid the annoyances that we see in so many forums. However, they are your feelings and you have a right to them.

  When I said to forget taking combo, I wasn't brushing off the problem, while recognizing that these mic combo jack issues are difficult, in large part because we can't use the native driver to test the Realtek driver, so we can't easily determine if it is a driver or a hardware problem. It is much simpler to use usb audio, but as I said I don't know what are the special features are required for your purposes of pod casting.

• Line-In does not detect audio microphone?

  I recently got a new headset, Razer Pro Kraken, and the line does not detect my microphone, I need because I use Skype. I checked and there the audio turned up completely, and I know for sure that the plugs are correct. What should I do to fix this? I am on Windows 7, if it helps.

  And also - I can hear the audio, the microphone right pick up. And I know that he is not a defective product, because I had this problem with previous helmets in the past.

  Hello. Your laptop is an Alienware M14x? Have you tried to reinstall the Realtek audio driver?

  Reinstalling the audio driver will restore the default audio settings. On many models by default is for line-in (off mic amp) then you may need to select again for a microphone and set the mic boost levels.

  I would check the settings both on the recording of the sound Properties tab (right-click on the audio icon and click recording devices, right-click on the microphone and set as the default, right-click the microphone, and then click Properties device, then the levels tab to set the push) and also the microphone of the Realtek Audio Manager tab. I would test the microphone using Windows Sound Recorder instead of Skype.

  I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) with the audio jack single. Why not recognize it when I plug a microphone inside?

  I use a splitter cable, and have verified meter that it is properly connected.  Also the microphone that I try to use the works when connected to a separate Recorder device, so I know who works very well.

  The audio output on a 2012 port does not support the audio input.  You will need to use the USB ports for audio input.  This will require an appropriate hardware and software.
