Driver audio Inspiron 660

I bought an Inspiron of 660 with Windows installed 8.0 end of 2013. I upgraded to 8.1 Windows with the approval of Dell support. Leafing through the newspaper, there are some Windows last Friday updates. Since that time I had several problems with Windows (Control Panel does not but submenus load and store Windows never loads). The problem I'm concerned here is audio drivers do not work. I did a restart and then went into hardware tests, all wise material past, including producing the sound on the connected speakers. I followed the instructions that Dell gave to solve the problem, including completely delete and force the re-installation of the drivers. Another recommendation is to install the driver improved for the chip I have. As soon as I did it, and restarted, it gave me an error message that the chip cannot manage the improved driver. I asked Dell to help them, but they couldn't help me. I ran CCleaner and Malwarebytes (paid version) to see if there is no virus. Both came negative. Any suggestions?

I finally understood what happened March 17, 2015. AVG did watch a Windows file and quarantine. It has nothing to do with Dell or audio drivers. I found the solution on the Malware of AVG Web site:

I solved the problem by going into the Archives of AVG, find the event in which my audio system has been affected. I believe it was called system32/spool/drivers/x64/3/old/1/printconfig.dll
in any case, I only restored this event where all this information has been removed. I restarted my computer and everything was back to normal

I'm glad to finally solve the problem. Thanks, Chris for all your help and support. You're an asset to Dell. We wish you the best.

  • Card support FireWire on Inspiron 660

    I bought your desktop Inspiron 660 with Win 8 (original version, I think) a year or two ago.  Eventually want to use devices USB Audio (sampler Edirol UA-25, helmet DAC etc.) which are not supported by base 8 Win, the cheapest solution was to upgrade to a new version of Win 7 (I got a Dell version) with a new HDD in the desktop.   This arrangement works very well with all my USB audio devices.

    Then, I want to run an audio interface box 4-Channel M-Audio Firewire and Firewire PCI express card to receive from eBay.  It's a 1394, unbranded with chip WB381.  It appears in Device Manager - no reported problems. However the menu sounds in the Panel sees as an available playback or recording device, and the M-Audio box reports also no link.  I tried all three drivers available in Windows 7 for the card, as suggested elsewhere, without success.  M-audio box works OK with Win XP on another computer with a Firewire port that is provided by an OEM, but I don't have any other PC with ports PCI express to test the card...

    This is likely to be a problem of Dell software or a hardware/driver PCI problem.  Maybe I should get a card with a different chipset.  I note, there is a lot of posts related to problems with Firewire and Dell computers.  Are there tests I can run to determine what is happening.

    Thanks in advance

    I think I have a small Tower because it doesn't have a lot of empty space inside. Is it possible to have a card not in the Tower?

    The GTX 750 will not work.  Only low-profile cards will be suitable to the 660 s.  You also only a 220 Watt power supply.  I run the HD 6570 HERE in 660 s who does well enough with the games.  Even if you can still find them (overpriced) because they have been abandoned, the 7750 HD HERE worked in the 660 s and was the best card you could get.  The Sapphire is available only used on ebay, but other brands are still there.  The HD 6570 would be higher than your Intel HD graphics and for the price can be your best buy.  You cannot run the cards outside your Tower.

  • No Audio - Inspiron 6400

    Hello

    I'm running an Inspiron 6400 (old, but * mainly * still works) and recently (for a few weeks) the sound has stopped working completely. I can't do audio speakers or headphones.

    Using audio players, if I try to read a file, the program will become numb and I have to leave. If I try to play a video, that is to say: on Youtube, the video will play without audio or won't play at all.

    Another thing to note: I dual boot Windows 7 and Linux. At the time where the sound has stopped working in Windows, I found it was also broken on Linux too, which initially led me to believe that it was a hardware problem, but after reinstallation of the operating system Linux sound on there started to work again. My only other thought is that the problem might be a level to the top of the BONE, but I don't want to take the risk of bricking my laptop computer with a BIOS flash at this point.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated :)

    but after the reinstallation of the operating system Linux sound there started to work again.

    Hello. Sorry for the delay in responding.

    If it doesn't work under Linux then it is not a hardware failure. You can try to install a driver audio Sigmatel (Vista version).

    Download the driver and extract the files (unzip or decompress and take note of the name of the folder created) but cancel the installation process. Go to the folder on the hard disk to which you have unpacked the driver files
    c:\Dell\Drivers\Rxxxxxx

    Find the setup.exe file and right-click on it. Select Properties. Find the Compatibility tab and select Vista.

    Note that there are some audio software Creative Labs available on Inspiron 6400 support page. If you never tried and cannot install this software before you install a driver Sigmatel audio no longer works in Windows because of the failure of a service. There is a fix available if that is the case.

    I don't want to take the risk of bricking my laptop with a flash of the BIOS at this stage.

    I don't blame you, and also if the audio allows you to work with your version of BIOS it should still work unless you have changed your cpu. But if you wish, you can contact a Dell employee via hours and get him or tell him you upgrade the BIOS. If the Dell motherboard brick it will fix as long you have the evidence to be directed to Dell.

  • Inspiron 660 built-in sound

    This may sound stupid, but it's here.

    Since the beginning of January, I have an Inspiron 660, proc I5, 8 GB mem, 2 TB hd, Nvidia Gfore graphics, integrated 5.1 surround sound.

    I still have Sound Blaster 4.1 surround speakers. Green and black 3.5 mm Sockets.

    The pc has only pink (mic), green (speaker or headphone) and blue (line).

    Helpdesk told me only green jack is sufficient (right, left/right/for/in the back on two analog cables?) but I need new speakers.

    Question: How can I really connect the speakers to enjoy the sound surround announced?

    Hi Steffenwolt,

    Inspiron 660 doesn't have a sound card integrated 5.1. The system has 2.1 channel audio, therefore, 4.1 surround speakers would not work.

    Please answer for any clarification.

  • Update drivers Inspiron 660 s Intel

    I had a failure of the update via Windows Update my Intel Driver. It kept failing. I went to the Intel Download Center, and he's looking for me. There is no new update listed under my Dell computer, than I already have. Apparently, he had two types of updates available for my computer at Intel chipset driver. Now, Intel found two drivers, I believe that he installed a. Another keep. This is the exe for WIN64_152822.exe and it fails every time. He said to close all programs. I thought I did. Although Carbonite will not let you go out just. I used the Task Manager to close a bunch of them. So I froze just Carbonite, because knock out would not work via the Task Manager. I couldn't leave my Eset Nod32 either, so I disabled it temporarily. I didn't stop all Intel running in fear, it would not continue with the update of the driver. Has anyone dealt with this issue?

    There is no need to update the graphics driver Intel unless one is located on the site of Dell and is recommended. Otherwise, leave well enough alone.  I only update of the dedicated graphics drivers for video cards.

  • Inspiron 660 - solid Amber Light, No POST, does not start

    Hello world

    Having badly put in that my Inspiron 660 road.  When I press the button, it turns Orange fixed and there is no display.    I need to change a few items on the computer?

    Full article:

    Earlier, before I clicked on the sleep button on my keyboard and left my computer for awhile.  When I came back, the computer showed a black screen, but he was still awake.  I left alone for a while, but I couldn't get the screen to show so I held the power button.

    I then took over, hoping everything was ok, but then it restarted several times by himself.  Then he showed a blue screen with a frowny face indicating 'inaccessible boot device '.  I decided to try safe mode.  After scanning of the hard drive, it eventually start in safe mode.  After a few moments, I stopped it safely.

    After that, I thought I should try a regular boot.  When I hit the power button, it remained white, but there is no display.  After leaving it alone for a bit, I tried to turn off by holding the power button.  But it does not work.  The only option I had was to pull the plug.  After reconnecting, there now solid amber light, no display, no post.

    Hoping someone has a solution I have at least back on my computer.

  • How can I put an SSD inside a Dell Inspiron 660?

    First of all, I want to express how much I love your computers, Dell. You guys ROCK! Best brand of computer I've ever bought. On the subject; I have a desktop PC Dell Inspiron 660 with a 1 TB hard drive. I want to spend the hard drive for an SSD, but I looked inside your case and the hard drive has 2 rails metal (one on each side). That being said; How to fit an SSD in there? I know I need an adapter of sorts that it will allow to get into that, but how I'd cela in view of the way in which the hard disk is set up? I'm so confused! Thanks for your time.

    You install the drive in a silverstone adapter then put the rails on it.

  • Inspiron 660 cannot connect to Internet/cable network

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 660. It came with Windows 8, but I successfully installed Windows 7 Home Prime (32 bit) on the subject instead.

    The computer came with a "Dell DW1506 (802.11 b/g/n) half mini-map WLAN" and what appears to be a built-in ethernet port.

    However, it is supposed to be a desktop at home, and when I plug a CAT-5 cable to plug into our existing router (which has a Verizon DSL internet connection) it does not 'see' the internet/router/task force.

    Y at - it something I am doing wrong? How can I get this computer to get 'on' the network wired and not on a wireless network?

    I'm not completely tech-stupid, but I know that internet/cable networks are usually 'plug and play' and I'm puzzled why I can't get it to see the network/router.

    Thank you.

    Hi LakotaWolf,

    The problem might be related to do not installed the drivers.

    You can install the Ethernet driver for your system from the http://dell.to/18uMd9slink.

    Try to connect to the internet by cable after updating the drivers.

    I hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to answer for any further assistance.

  • Driver audio Conexant Z50-70

    Hello

    After upgrading to Windows 10 8.1, I got the driver audio conexant installed by default. I have problems with it however, it does not account for multiple inputs and outputs, cannot distinguish between the speakers and the headphones etc..

    I, of course, thought the easiest way to solve this, which has been uninstalled the conexant drivers and using the realtek driver base.

    Now, here's my main problem, it works until I restart the laptop, because then the audio driver conexant reinstalls automatically.

    Is there a way to prevent the installation of form, or maybe a way to make the driver work correctly?

    Thank you

    I know to stop the automatic driver update:

    1. click on settings/devices
    2. Select an entry such as printers and Scanners
    3. Select related parameters: devices and printers
    4. under the heading devices click on the right button the device with the name of your computer icon and select settings to set up device.
    5. Select No, let me choose what to do.
    6. Select never install driver from Windows Update.
    7. save the changes.

    Once you stop the update, you can now uninstall the driver conexant present and install the realtek driver.

  • Driver Audio IDT (?) Question

    I had problems with my audio on my laptop. I have a HP Envy Sleekbook m6 model m6-k010dx running on Windows Update 8.1. A few months ago, I had problems getting my audio to work. I didn't know what I was doing, so I uninstalled by mistake and/or deleted Beats Audio, as well as the IDT, which is what I think caused my IDT drivers stop working correctly in the first place.
    I restarted my pc after trying to fix my audio, and he ended up telling me that I needed to update my computer. The update apparently failed, but miraculously my computer restarted a few days later. When I reviewed my files as well as all my drivers, nothing seemed wrong. However, I don't have the Beats Audio program longer, even if my IDT drivers seemed to work very well. Whenever I have try and run the beats, he told me that the startup.exe file is missing, which I suppose means it has, unfortunately, been removed.
    I'm not worried about it because I guess I felt lucky to get my audio back, so I have not dug too deep so far. Yet once, I'm having a problem getting my audio to work. I went into Device Manager, and my convenience store told me that it was another problem of driver.
    Yes, see no other way to go about this after trying but failing to have my computer to reinstall the driver, I uninstalled it manually; I thought that Windows would detect the missing driver and be able to solve this problem, so I rebooted and went into my device manager. Now, it gives me a different error, I have attached a screenshot. I have no idea how all of these problems, and all the help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hi mstrcorbot3000 and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I understand that you have a problem with your IDT audio driver for your HP ENVY m6-k010dx Sleekbook. I'll try my best to help you solve this problem. I recommend that you uninstall the driver that is in the device for IDT audio driver manager and then download driver Audio IDT high definition (HD) and install it before you restart your computer.

    I hope that this information help, please let me know how it goes.

    Thank you and have a great day!
