How to record voice on my Dell Inspiron 15R laptop not touch?

Hello

I'm getting used to my new Dell Inspiror 15R laptop and I am wanting to record some audio tracks I can then download on soundcloud or youtube.  I see a jack for headphones on the side of the computer, but I do not have a microphone.  Is there a built-in to the computer?  Or I have to buy a microphone?  Can I make voice recording with headphones (like the kind you would for Skype with)?  My computer came with the built software with which I can record and edit my audio tracks?

Thank you!

Hello. There are about 4 different models that Dell sold under the generic name of the Inspiron 15R, so if you need more help, please include the complete of the laptop model name and the name of your operating system.

All current Dell laptops have established in the PRI. Set top, right click on the audio icon on the taskbar (or if you have Windows 8, you'll need to get to the office, I'm not sure), then click on "recording devices". The sound properties will be open on the recording tab find the internal microphone in the list and right-click on it, then click on "enable", click "set as default device".

As an option, while the micro internal is still selected (highlighted), click 'Properties', then the levels tab. This is when you set the volume level for the microphone.

With respect to the recording software, there are very probably only Windows Sound Recorder, which is pretty bare bones. You can use it to test the microphone. To open it, type sound recorder in the search box.

For serious recording and editing you should buy a graphic audio recording program, or download the free program Audacity. Just google Audacity.

With regard to external policy: If there is only one socket on the laptop case, then you have one of the models with a Jack "combo". That kind of jack will not support a regular computer microphone. Catches combined work with smart phone type of headsets, which combine a microphone and headphones in one single take. You can tell if you have this kind of helmet because the connector has 4 segments instead of the normal 3 segments on a stereo plug.

The combined catch take care of normal headphones.

The combined catches do not support stereo plug-in software component line.

You can get an adapter to make a combo Jack accepts a normal computer microphone, but an adapter cannot make a plug combo stereo support line snap. To the stereo line you would need an adapter usb audio that has a line-in socket - that is to say if your computer only has a combo Jack.

  • Dell Inspiron 15R - laptop, no load, and commissioning

    Hello

    I own Dell XPS 15. used for more than 3 years now, yesterday I was able to successfully swicth on the laptop and had sentence used for 2 minutes. At get battery (maybe about 50% load). All of a sudden the screen went white. I tried to turn on, but nothing worked. I checked if battery was set and there was no charge. The light of the adapter near the connector was not lighting. I've introduced no-load. I removed the card from the laptop and tried to switch the adapter. Blue lights came near the connector. When I connect the adapter on the laptop, the blue flickers of light for a minute and turns off. and the Start button / stop is not swtiching on, please help.

    Thank you

    Rosh

    Unplug the system, remove or disconnect the battery and hold the power for 30 seconds.  Remove and then reinstall the memory modules.  Try turn on AC only - if she will, but will not be with the battery connected, the battery is defective and must be replaced.

    Otherwise:

    While it could be a bad taken of DC (the port where the adapter connects to the system), noise from the description, it is more likely the motherboard failed.

    We will need the complete model number (i.e., XPS L521x) to recommend the spare parts.

  • Send faxes of Dell Inspiron 15R laptop computer running Windows 8

    This laptop is not equipped with a modem. Which modem would you recommend for me to send and receive faxes with Windows 8 operating system? I have a dedicated line for faxes that I used with my previous desktop and internal modem conexant.

    Thank you. Grandon

    Hi Grandon,

    Yes, I fear that internal modems have gone the way of the floppy. What you need is an external fax modem that plugs into a USB port. I have no experience with those so I can't guarantee their reliability. An alternative would be a MFP with fax service.

  • Line of laptop Dell Inspiron 15R in number

    Hello Forum,

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop touch Windows 8. I wanted to listen to my iPod Nano on the laptop and connected via the line to the port with a cable to THE. The sound comes through and I hear it on the speakers of systems, but there is not work for long. The sound cuts and I have to change the volume to get it back. Is this a problem with the line in port or a software audio problem? The sound system is Realtek High Definition Audio.

    IPod attaches to my stereo system with the same cable and works fine, so I don't see the problem as being something with the laptop.

    I would appreciate any you can give me advice. Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Is this a problem with the line in port or a software audio problem?

    I do not know. You have your Jack set up to 'listen to this device? The recording of the sound Properties tab. Right click on Mic to open the context menu. Click on properties. Select the "Listen" tab check the box "listen to this device. If you use the battery, then check the box to allow it.

    If you have already done this then try using the native Windows driver and see if that makes a difference.

    Open Device Manager and expand ' audio, video and game controllers ". Right click on the Realtek, and select uninstall. Put a checkmark in the delete files optionand then 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 until Realtek no longer appears under controllers, noise and "High definition Audio Device" appears in its place. Who will be the native driver.

    When you want to reinstall your Realtek driver, download a new copy of it from Dell.

    One last thing: see if it helps to decrease the volume of the player.

    Hi guys,.

    Hello, I have updated my Dell Inspiron 15R laptop 5537 Windows 8 Pro to Windows Pro 8.1 by using the Application Store.

  • My Dell Inspiron 15R keeps freezing now after 15-30 minutes?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 15R a couple of months and now it keeps freezing after about 15-30 minutes. I can't do anything while it is frozen even not Ctr + Alt + Delete or move my mouse. It gets really frustrating because I always manually close my laptop. I scanned with Malwarebytes and security Eset, but Malware bytes is not found and I'm never able to complete the scan with Eset as my laptop freezes during this period. I checked the logs that Eset had done since my last scan and it said it deleted 5 threats it found, but my laptop still keeps freezing. I also tried the automatic "Microsoft Let Me Fixit" but he could not find anything. Please help I need an answer because I can't deal with this more!
