Audio problem Inspiron 8600

Hello

After 11 years of work very well, the sound on my laptop has suddenly become sonic garbage, muffled and distorted. This is the case in Windows Media Player, Media Monkey and audacity. I installed the audio driver only I could find on the site of Dell (R90698) and run diagnostics online nothing helps. I have not installed new software that could explain it. Operating system is WinXPsp3, audio SigmaTel.

Someone has any ideas (apart from getting a new computer, I have a 15R too, but like having 2 go).

Thank you

Max

Hello Max R90698 is the correct driver. If you still have the original cd of public services or resources, run the audio of the Dell diagnostic tests of her utility. It is the different way of online Diagnostics. If you can run it and the music is blurred, then your material has developed a fault.

  • 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".

  • Can I use the reinstallation CD from 1 to my another 8600 Inspiron 8600

    I have 2 computers Inspiron 8600.  1 purchased from Dell refurbished call it computer 'A' and the other was purchased new Dell call computer 'B '.  The systems are identical except minor differences of software.  I want to do a repair/reinstall on computer 'A'... but the CD of computer 'A' is stored.  I have the CD from the computer 'B' package... the new 8600 which includes the reinstallation CD.  I have the product keys for the 'A' and 'B'... I can use the XP Pro CD reinstall computer 'B' on computer 'A' for the reinstall/repair?  If you are prompted, should what product key I use?  I was not sure if the CD were somehow specific unit.  Thank you very much...

    Miguel_T,

    You should be fine using the disk on the other computer. I don't think that you will have problems. You can use the product key for the drive that you use to install on the computer.

  • Audio input Inspiron 15 3000 can not detect the headset

    Audio input Inspiron 15 3000 can not detect the headset, but audio dell can detect something trendy. However, the playback sound device cannot detect any helmet. Now I only get gurgling in the helmet. How to solve this problem?

    Hello. To test the headphone switch the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver.

    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 it is still bubbling even with the native driver, test by using other headphones. If still no luck then probably hardware failure. Contact technical support for warranty repair.

    If it works fine with the native driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. Try a different version of the driver. If you need help with this answer comes back with the full model name (something like "Inspiron 11 3147", etc.) and which operating system 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. I thought that maybe the problem could be fixed with sound in the Control Panel, however, I can't find the device labeled "Headphones", only two devices listed are "Speakers/headphones" and "helmet of Communications." 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?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are unable to play music through the headset and it still plays sound to speakers.

  • Ever since I started to update to 34.0.5 I have known many audio problems.

    Since Firefox updated to 34.0.5, I have known many video and audio problems. At first, I couldn't play the videos at all, but install Shockwave Flash, which sets. All my videos play in silence. I've updated my plugins (Quicktime and VLC were the only ones to ask for an update) should not have solved the problem because I do not believe that I was actually using these plugins at the time, but nevertheless, it seems to have worked. Now I can play videos with sound, but the quality of this noise is severely reduced and even sometimes staticky. What gives?

    These are the same products - 'adobe flash player' is the consumer in the face of term "shockwave flash" the technical name...

  • Pavilion 500 215 el: audio problem Windows 10 anniversary update

    I have an audio problem, then before moving to Windows 10 or the update of the anniversary of the audio working properly after the update I noticed immediately that the sound is distorted or "crunches".
    I haven't identified the problem because it's random, very often and it's very annoying, my sound system is its IDT DTS + I tried to reinstall the drivers with the latest version but some of the problem persists...
    Only, I noticed that the problem is more 'feel' when the bass setting is higher or when I change the audio setting to my taste.
    I ask you to help also became very boring because without my custom settings is really horrible!
    Thank you.
    Sorry for the English, but this isn't my mother tongue, I used google translator.

    Hi there @Alexcpp,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!  I understand that, after the update of Windows 10 anniversary, you had some sound problems.  I'm happy to give you a helping hand with this.

    Check the support page for your model of HP Pavilion 500-215el desktop PC, there don't seem to be updated drivers, and you have already tried to reinstall existing ones.

    You can always try to use the HP Support Assistant, HP PCs - using HP Support Assistant (Windows 10, 8, 7) to see if there is a driver available that is not displayed on the support page. It is unlikely, but there is always a chance that the page has not yet updated.

    Another possibility is to make some adjustments on your system, just in case there is another driver or software that interferes with the audio, which could cause problems of lag. You can try the search, even if these: computers HP - computer is slow (10 Windows), HP - slow Internet troubleshooting (10, 8 Windows) computers.  They are never a waste of time because often there is something that could help the overall performance of the system.

    Please let me know if it works for you and if it does not solve your problem, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

  • Audio problems

    Hi, I have audio problems! I downloaded Skype on my windows laptop 10, and I have audio problems with only my Skype. I checked the audio setting on my laptop and they are very well, I tried to save regularly, and it was perfectly good. I checked the audio on my Skype, they seem to be well, but does not record the microphone. When I talk about the green line of volume is not hear me, and move. However I tried to snap my fingers just above the mic, and if I did it really hard two or three times the volume of the green line would move just really slowly, however when I spoke into the microphone it is not. I deleted and downloaded again, but has not fixed the problem and I don't know what to do. None of the parameters have changed, but when I checked my setting of the laptop, Skype was not one of the apps listed as the microphone (and I don't know how to change.) In fact, when I checked all my settings of the computer, Skype did not appear for the use of microphone, speakers or camera (but I get only problems with the audio.) Please get back to me as soon as possible to help with suggestions! I use Skype to talk to family and work, but also to stay in touch with teachers and take classes.

    Please, run the diagnostic tool (32 bit) DirectX. Run dxdiag.exe (Start - Run or Win + R key), then press on enter or click 'OK '. Once the diagnosis is complete, "save all information...". "in a text file. Please attach this file to your message.

  • Incompatible Audio volume T420 - Audio problem.

    Hi all

    recently I've been an audio problem with my T420. It doesn't matter if I use the built-in speakers or an external playback via the audio device, audio volume goes up and down several times for a minute.

    It's rather annoying and irritating. I use the standard driver provided by Lenovo and with stock settings.

    If someone had this problem and could give me some advice?

    Thank you very much!

    The framework was already to the people with reduced mobility.

    I thought, maybe that's the problem, I've been experience, because it is only when I used Ethernet instead of WiFi: DPC latency + audio / mouse skip and stutter on t420--Lenovo's community

    I tried the proposed parameters, without success.

    Interestingly, re - install the same drivers that have been installed previously seems to have solved the problem.

    Maybe some settings or installation screwed up.

  • HP Probook 430 G2: Audio problem

    I got my new laptop (HP Probook 430 G2) barely 4 days ago and I already had a problem with it.

    I find this question every time, when I try to listen to music etc., headphones or 5.1 speakers (both using 3.5 mm jack).

    When I use Google Chrome or Windows MediaPlayer etc. If I stop to listen for 5 minutes (stop the video), then the audio "dumb"(barre de son dit qu'il n'y a son sort) but nothng can be heard. "." I solved this problem simply by setting the volume level 0 and back where it was in the first place.

    This problem came a bit annoying on a long term, so I hope someone can help me with this problem

    I bought a lenovo y500 (1 to 6 GB of RAM, GT 650SLI, i5 dual core 2.6 Ghz( ) a year ago. I now have this audio problem where I must pass the lid of my laptop at an angle for the speakers to work. I have updated drivers already, all done updates to windows update.

    Welcome to Lenovo Community!

    According to the request, we understand that you have a problem with speakers in your Y500.

    As the audio cable is present near the hinges and the cable is loose so please bring to the service center to reconnect the cable that might solve the problem.

  • 8 slate Pro audio problem: headphone output

    Hello

    I bought my slate 8 Pro (model 7600US) to replace my Blackberry playbook. It is the great Tablet (screen perfect last Tegra 4 CPU, battery in good condition, good speakers integrated), but after the use of the Tablet for several days, I am surprised by problems with audio quality of the headphone output. I use mainly compressed with headphones (audio books, Netflix, music, etc.), so when I connected my Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro (headphones ultra-sensitive 119db/mW, 12 Ohm), I got very sensitive background noise, artifacts and, what is very annoying - variable pitch tones when changing tone based on the activity of the Wi - fi and load CPU, especially on low volume levels.

    So I tried using headphones from Shure (109db, 29 ohms), less sensitive 4ca as KOSS KTXPRO (106db, 60 ohms) with the same results. HP Slate 8 Pro is not powerful enough to Sennheizer 555 (105db, 120 ohms) but I also had the artifacts and noise of not. Finally I tried junk headset $2 and found the sound sounds and tones perfectly acceptable ground level, but the sound quality with these phones is terrible.

    To compare, I tried all my headphones with Nexus 7, Samsung Note 3, IPhone 5 and Playbook without problem.

    I have returned the shelf at the store and replaced it for the new, but I had similar problem.

    Please let know us, what I have to try the third time and replace the Tablet, or it's problem of hardware design, which cannot be resolved. Is it possible, that developers of HP can fix it in software configuration in a future update?

    I understand, this tablet is not an audiophile device, but when the HP Web site indicates to this tablet: "Tuned by Dr. Dre himself, Beats Audio™ allows you to hear the music the way the artist intended.", it must at least provide acceptable audio quality for most listeners. I love HP Tablet a little, but if audio problem cannot be solved, I have to look for another option like Samsung or LG.

    Updated my slate 8 Pro to KitKat 4.4.2 and looks, that his problem slipped.  With this update, noise and less noticeable artifacts, sound quality is acceptable now, even for sensitive headphones.
