Audio problem DELL Inspiron15 3521

Hello

I bought this laptop DELL Inspiron15 3521 sometimes back and I am facing a problem with the audio. I had the experience that I use only. The audio on my earpiece right fluctuate a lot and sometimes works only on the left side. Initially, I thought that it was a problem with my headphones but I tried with several headphones and still I have experienced the same problem. But the speakers of the laptop works very well. Could this be a problem with the audio port? Can someone help me on this.

IM using windows 8 OS

Thank you

Umesh

You've tried several headphones and performance on the right speaker is still uneven?  You notice that this with headphones that you tried, but not the built-in speakers, they seem to work correctly?

I guess that you only use the headphones jack, have you tried USB speakers or headphones and see if they have the same problem?

If the problem occurs only when you are connected to the headphone jack, there may well be a fault with the audio port.  Unfortunately, on this system, the audio port is integrated on the system board, and replacing the port, replace the motherboard.

    Hello. You have chosen the right pair. Network of microphones is the internal mic. This is a pair of microphones located in the assembly of the webcam at the top of the display screen.

    Things that you can try are

    Could this be a problem with the audio port?

    Hello, Daniel. How to determine who must pass the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver. If you don't have the driver from Realtek, you can get it from the Inspiron 3521 support page.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If the headphone does not work correctly when you use the Realtek or driver audio native then it's a hardware problem.

    If it works fine with the native driver but not the Realtek driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. In this case let me know which operating system your laptop and I'll see if there is a Realtek driver different, that you can use.

  • Dell Inspiron 3521 problem concerning "audiodg.exe.

    Sometimes I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 3521 with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit with a Realtek HD audio driver. The problem is that whenever I run a Flash-supported page on my Firefox browser, audiodg.exe (and it is a real process of Windows Audio) consume a very large amount of physical memory on my computer up to 997 MB, establishing the audio matrix until I close the browser. Then when I open the browser again, the problem starts again.

    I tried to solve the problem using the method of "improvements", but it failed for some reason as evidenced by the photo:

    There is no option tick 'disable all improvements' in there, and all the improvements are unchecked. All they have is the tick "immediate mode".

    I have also all my updates installed on my laptop, but the problem persists.

    Is it possible to fix this so that the problem of the use of the high memory caused by 'audiodg.exe' will be gone for good?

    Hello. It's the first time I saw a screen shot of improvements to properties of speaker who had not "disable all improvements. My laptop has also 7 64-bit but with IDT and it has. Maybe if you switch from the native Windows driver Realtek driver will answer box "disable all".

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    If you use the latest Realtek driver (6.0.1.6788), you might want to try the old Realtek 6.0.1.6690. The former driver installation requires to remove the most recent in Device Manager and choose the delete files option.

  • 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.

    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.

    "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.

    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.

  • Audio problem in Dell Inspiron N5110 after the migration on Windows 8.1

    Hi all

    I installed the latest IDT High Definition Audio drivers available on Dell Support Center for windows 8. After you have installed everything works well, if I use the internal mic. When I use an external mic, after activating Jack microphone, reading of modified record device status "currently unavailable". When I use the internal mic, it works well. I don't know how to solve this problem. Early on I use this laptop, it works perfectly except audio problems. Please share a solution for this.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the reply. But Jack mic works well. I need active Rec.playback. When I activate Jack mic and record playback device, then change to "currently unavailable".

  • Good question about windows 8 dell inspiron 3521 with graphics card intel delay right click.

    Greetings,

    I have an operating system running windows 8 pro on dell inspiron 3521. When I bought the camera, the problem was not visible up to 1 year, and then I installed "Tuneup utilities" for a scan and then uninstalled. Since then, I found annoying problem on my pc.

    Relatek HD audio was working fine but then it started showing good results, but the sound from the speaker is not and or if plugged headphones as well. PC not dettect not any problem on the sound while troubleshooting. The sign of the speaker on the status bar when clicked and increases the volume of it increases the volume, but the sound and color do not here as well.
    It does a strange thing when I trouble shoot using the sound properties and click 'TEST' test is fine, but I can't hear any sound good! and again when I click TEST on speaker, it says "this device is used by another application. Please close... "
    However, the sound works fine without any problems for a while when I trouble shoot with 'Find and fix with device' or I restart the pc. But after a while this problem automatically. with this desktop right click question also annoyed me for the compliment can be! :( Help

    TuneUp utilities and similar programs usually don't serve to ruin a Windows Installer do it do more damage than good. Stories like yours are not uncommon with these programs. Back up all your data on an external hard drive. If you did a restore USB with your system can boot from to restore factory settings. If you have not done one, try using backup and restore Dell to make one. TuneUp utilities may have ruined the Dell backup feature and the recovery and partition recovery so I advise to call Dell technical support and request a DVD of resettlement or recovery USB just in case. I prefer the DVD because it can be copied to a USB key and has no preloaded software, allowing a cleaner installation. You can then try to restore the factory settings and if something goes wrong with the restoration use Dell support to clean install.

    Hi, John. It's quite nervous of a member of the MS forum say that Dell is responsible to operate Windows. It wasn't Dell but MS who claims that Win10 has most of the necessary drivers and if not then the drivers Win7 and Win8.1 would work.

    johnsdagg
    I was hoping that maybe Dell could find in the goodness of their hearts to a updated driver IDT 92HDxxx... pretty please?

    I doubt that it is possible for two reasons. Dell went from IDT Realtek as the audio seller so probably not more a a contract with IDT, if IDT even exist anymore. A year ago IDT was acquired by another company. I do not know its current status, but it is sure that the acquiring company will not be upgrading old software IDT. Reference Dell itself does not write the audio drivers. Even when IDT was the seller I believe that Win7 drivers are the final versions - no version 8 or 8.1 I think.

    johnsdagg
    If I use the built-in driver to Win 10 ("high definition Audio Device") I hear speakers/headphones and switching between the speakers and the works of helmet very well but my laptop computer microphone does not work ("not connected").

    The native Windows audio driver can't stand struggling external mic. It is a MS 'known problem '. MS must implement a decision-making support, but there is no indication that it will be. Meanwhile, you have two workaround solutions. You can switch backwards between the natives and the IDT drivers. At some point Win10 could leave the IDT driver works correctly. Or get an outlet cheap usb audio to the microphone. Struggling running out-audio driver usb Windows native usb and so dependent no driver IDT.

  • XPS 8700, out-of-box speaker 5.1 audio problems

    I had ongoing audio problems since the purchase of my XPS 8700 8.1 desktop system of 64-bit Windows on January 15 and set up with my speaker Altec Lansing 5.1 system existing. The strangest thing happens when I play audio from different sources.

    When I use YouTube programs and music of Windows, Dell MaxAudio Audio Pro software plays audio perfectly thanks to 5.1 speakers. But, when I listen to music via iTunes or try to watch a movie from a DVD factory in my factory installed DVD player, the audio plays through my two front speakers.

    In addition to the issue with my 5.1 speakers, I have constant audio noise/hiss through my speakers. But, it is stranger than most of the time when I move my mouse quickly, I can hear the movement of the mouse in my speakers. The 'mouse noise' is minimal, but you can certainly hear coming from the speakers.

    I spent the greater part of the past month trying to find a solution to these problems - especially the sound of hissing sound coming from my speakers and iTunes music only 2 front speakers and not my sub or rear speakers (sometimes audio will be same break in iTunes).

    I had no chance whatsoever to find a "fix for the problem of iTunes/5.1 speakers, so I'd appreciate any help on this. About whistling noise emitting speakers, here's what I what I met so far, but I have yet to try it (this solution came from Google):

    SOLUTION: Go to the Realtek site (www.realtek.com.tw) > click on downloads in main menu > click on High Definition Audio Codecs (software) > accept the advice > download 64-bit Vista, Windows7, Windows8, Windows8.1 driver only. Version R2.73. I clicked and downloaded the link US2: 64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_R273.exe (103MB). I then ran the installation program which required two reboots to install completely.

    ITS OWN PURE! The hiss is now gone when listening with my speakers. Moreover, the Dell Audio MAXX Audio Pro, which is delivered on the Dell XPS works always. I don't know what hidden feature, I could have lost, but I consider that it is resolved.

    Someone has already tried this solution but who has experienced similar problems than me? I hate to be "Jackin ' ' autour with new software download and edit the factory specifications on my brand new computer. But I want my computer to work properly with my 5.1 system speakers, which worked well with my previous Dell desktop computer which was in the process of Windows 7.

    One last question, can someone please clarify for me if the Dell Audio MaxAudio Pro software is a product of Realtek? I sent a support one or twice with the solution (Google) I listed above, but nothing but crickets from Realtek Realtek. Customer service poor, to date.

    I thank you in advance for any help and solutions/workaround solutions, you can suggest.

    It is their integrated (Realtek ALC3861 audio 7.1) product with an overlay software from Dell. So yes, you must use their site to get the latest audio driver. Our driver is very old, 20/11/13. I used the same audio driver of detail on my Alienware X 51. Works very well. I added instructions in the FAQ.
    * Go to the top of the Audio card to the desktop computer
    * Open Desktop Audio FAQ
    Open the Office PC Audio drivers
    * Read "Update Realtek HD Audio"

  • Driver for 2 GB AMD Radeon HD M 8730 does not work. Dell Inspiron 3521

    my laptop is brand new. 1 week and I cannot get my Radeon 8730 M graphic card work. laptop model is Dell Inspiron 3521.   I tried to install the original driver from the dell support page. I tried with the pilots of the AMDs website. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers at least 10 times.   When I run the catalist of amd installation configuration shows that all the drivers and the software is correctly installed and up-to-date, but Device Manager shows something else.  also, I have absolutely no option available in the catalyst software.  my windows system note (index) is 1.0 due to the graphic performance.   any ideas?

    return with good news.

    I formatted the partition on the witch my windows was installed. re-installed windows and all the drivers. I started with the AMD driver but I was disappointed. It still did not work. then I thought, maybe there some co-drivers with some chipset drivers, so I downloaded and installed all the drivers. including the Intel HD 4000 driver. I think it was one that has not been installed correctly and the Radeon card because of the witch did not work.   so if anyone else has this problem, don't forget to uninstall the driver amd and intel driver hd 4000 and then install again, it should solve the problem.

    Thanks for the help.

    If no luck with the latest Realtek, then try the older version. If still no luck then go to the Realtek site and get a "High definition" driver from there.

  • Windows 7 Audio problem IDT plays through speakers and headphones

    I recently took possession of old Windows 7 Dell Inspiron N5040 my brother who runs the audio driver IDT HD Audio, the problem is that even when headphones are plugged in, the computer still plays sound on the speakers, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver, update the driver software and I still cannot fix.

How can I do so that the system only plays sound through speakers when the headphone is not plugged and only plays the sound through the headphones when they are?
