Dell XPS - crackling Audio

Dell XPS M1530 laptop computer

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium 32-bit

Intel Core 2 Duo T5550

2 GB OF RAM

I'm getting audio crackling and jump on my laptop speakers. Usually a reboot temporaraly solves the problem, but I would like to know if there is a permanent solution.

So far I tried to reinstall the audio drivers, but this made no difference.

I searched the forums for a while, most people seem to think that this is caused by pilots of conflicting devices.

Does anyone know if Dell has provided a fix for this problem?

  • My Dell XPS 15 audio Jack does not work.

    Hello, my new Dell XPS 15 audio Jack does not work. I just got this thing out of the box.

    I have updated the drivers and stuff, which doesn't seem to be the issue.

    I tried several headphones as well, the helmet is not the issue.

    I've isolated to this: when I plug in the headset, nothing happens. If I ask about 15-20 lbs of pressure, forcing the connector of headphones into the socket as hard as possible, the cell begins to recognize and the helmet works. As soon as I let go of the connector, the laptop will behave as if the device was disconnected.

    What should I do?

  • Del XPS 13 no audio device

    Hello, I have a Dell XPS 13 and today it detects no audio.

    The "speaker" icon appears with a red x.

    And in the audio devices and devices Records, it shows that it is not any kind of device.

    Also in the control panel > devices shows that it cannot load the driver "Intel high Definition Audio.

    I've already updated the update dell drivers drivers page www.dell.com/.../drivers

    My mother has the same exact specifications and had the same problem since the last update of Windows. We've tried everything, download the drivers with Dell system detects, manually get the drivers from Realtek, nothing helps.

    We also had the "Intel High Definition Audio" in the device under 'Other devices' Manager as OP.

    1. right click on the Intel High Definition Audio device.

    2. Select "update driver software... »

    3. browse my computer...

    4. just choose from a list...

    5. something like 'Show all manufacturers' (top option in the list, can't exactly remember what she said and I can't do this again now).

    6. then, in the list on the left, select Realtek

    7. Select Manager Realtek HD Audio on the right (the version of January 2016) and install it.

  • Can I download drivers for Dell XPS 420 girl (windows xp) on my computer (Dell Studio 17 Windows 7) on a cd instead of install on my computer?

    I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

    I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

    Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.

    If there is then Windows XP Download drivers into a folder (with subfolders named "Chipset", "LAN", "Audio", etc) on your hard drive and burn all files on a CD driver.

    Then, insert the CD into the computer XPS 420 and install all of the driver files, starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

  • Noise - Dell XPS 13 9350

    I bought a new dell XPS 13 9350 from BestBuy August 8, 2016 and have several sound problems.  First all the sounds stopped working about a month after the purchase of the laptop but using the Dell.com support site, I discovered that 3 Intel drivers were disabled. Once I reinstalled audio drivers started working again, but another question continued. A periodic static noise.

    Laptop periodically makes a static sound whenever you press a key. The noise at startup, it happens every time that you press a little matter what kind of program is running and so far there is no apparent trigger that forced him to start emitting static noise. Twice I ran diagnosis "Full Test" on the dell.com support site, but the test can't find any problems. Considering the price of this laptop, I am surprised and even more shocked to see that other people have problems with static sounds.

    I bought a HP laptop the year last for half the price of this laptop and have not had a single problem with this computer.

    Hello. Read past questions FAQ and see if the solution in the XPS 9350 & 9550 helps.

  • Problems with Dell XPS 435 sound

    Hello:

    I have a DELL XPS Studio desktop purchased in 2009 with Vista 64-bit OS. Until 3 days ago, the speakers on my computer worked. These are the original speakers that came with my BOSE Companion 2 multimedia pregnant computer. Initially, the sound was 100%, now it is suddenly down to 40%. I upgraded the speakers Bose one another and I will always have the same problem, my sound quality is reduced from 100 to 40%.

    I checked all sound card drivers and they are up-to-date, I also checked the sound Manager file, and it is also in order. I also did a "sound test" and I can hear the sound on the left & right speakers, the problem is that when I tried to listen to music or listen to video online I hear a very low noise coming out of two speakers, almost like a whisper.

    Can someone give me some tips fix - it.

    Silent in NYCABE

    Hi Nathalie:

    Thanks for your recommendation, I installed several audio drivers which have been recommended on the Dell Diagnostics page, but this has not resolved my problem of sound.  I think I probably need a new sound, in addition to the other parties. My computer is going on 4 years, his begins to fall apart, that I recently bought a replacement.

  • Dell XPS 18, Windows 8.1 using fixed headphones hissing, update the driver Realtek!

    I solved my problem and I wanted to just document here in case someone else goes through this. Just got my new 'giant tablet to the search"Dell XPS 18 last week. He loved until I decided to use my Bose headphones to listen to SiriusXM. I bagged just about up to return the XPS when I hear a constant hissing sound coming through the headphones. So I tried to listen to something on Youtube, and even with the muted Youtube audio, I even heard a shrill whistle.  Naturally, when energy saving, kicking because none audio wasn't playing, everything went quiet, but the whistle came right back as soon as any sound played through the headphones.

    The ATTEMPT FAILED: as more irritable geeks, I did an uninstall driver full audio drivers. Then I downloaded the drivers from the Dell Support Web to ensure site I had later and did a reinstall with a few reboots. Not surprisingly, I always understood that annoying hissing static coming through the headphones. Then I found somewhere a mention to go to Realtek.

    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 headphones.  Moreover, the Dell Audio MAXX Audio Pro, which is delivered on the Dell XPS 18 works always. I don't know what hidden feature, I could have lost, but I consider that it is resolved.

    Hope this helps someone who decides to use the headset with the Dell XPS 18

    1 million thanks!

    Worked like a charm!

  • "Tinny" sound from internal speakers Dell XPS 1645

    I got my Dell XPS 1645 for about 4-5 years so maybe it's just a problem of wear.

    I am running Chrome and watch a stream on twitch.tv August 23 to about 75% volume level when there was a sharp fall in terms of audio quality; now everything seems thin / no bass/distortion plus silent.

    Audio performance was great before this event and always beautiful with headphones (this is the internal speakers which are reached).

    To clarify, the sound is muffled or spindly; It is not a noise or interference and the volume settings have not been changed as to cause this effect to my knowledge.

    I tried all the solutions I could find but I would like to know if there is something I don't understand!

    I uninstalled the IDT drivers and reinstalled from the dell site and other sites, I tried to use the default Microsoft drivers.

    I ran the Diagnostics Dell PC Checkup trials; speakers pass.

    I've disabled the improvements and messed around with properties of speaker without result.

    Speakers can still go to 100% flight (of course, this sounds horrible). Also, I have never historically played audio at levels like that nor I had problems with the audio in the past.

    I blew my speakers? Is there a loose connection? More important is there anything I can try or do? I prefer not having to pay massive amounts of replacements because it will mean probably deserting me a ship from Dell for good and get a nice update!

    Hello. The Studio XPS 1645 model had a "subwoofer". He has probably stopped working on your device. If you want to replace or are looking for a loose connection, you can get the service manual with instructions for the page documents Studio 1645, and the play itself is going for $5-10 on ebay.
