Inspiron 620, bad sound quality

I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 620 under Windows 7 Home Premium.  I have Logitech LS21 speakers (S-00040) (L, R, and subwoofer). Until last week, the sound quality was very good.  Now, I'm getting poor quality, a little scrambled his no matter what I play: Pandora, CNN, music websites.  I swapped the speakers.  I've fiddled with settings of control panel of configuration/sounds.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the sound cards. I've updated the sound card drivers, I plugged the speakers in the front and the audio jack.  All to nothing does not.  I probably have a hardware problem? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  • Bad sound quality

    I've been using Apple music on Android since last year and I also tested all the main services continuously looking for the one that fits for me. Here are my comments.

    Positive:

    1. the interface is pretty good
    2. playback of gapless albums works very well for me, a lot of competitors have problems with it, and it was important for me
    3 integration of own files works fine on my Xperia Z5, I had problems with this on Z1 Compact

    Negative:

    Sound quality. It is bad or even terrible, depending on the type of music. I don't think it's a matter of encoding. I think that Apple music flows in 256 kbps AAC (is this correct?), competitor g. MP3 320 kbps and 320 kbps OGG competitor s., I think. Thus, the difference in practice should be negligible, I think. But there is a huge difference in the listening experience.

    I use a Sony Z5 and headphones MDR-1ABT, which is quite a decent facility, and I love the sound of the G or S. The look is fantastic, bass is large and acute lovely, dynamic range is excellent. If I activate it Department HX from Sony on the phone that there is even better, it makes you go "wow". Everything just fantastic.

    Listening to the music of Apple experience is just the opposite. It looks like little in 1990s FM radio, the sound is extremely stable compared to G or S., the bass is very low, not sharp, flat. The application does not meet the parameters of its Android, there is therefore no equalizer and no HX Department. I can't listen to music of Apple for more than 15-20 minutes, when we know the sound quality of G or S, it's just not nice.

    Competitor T has the same question or 'feature' - the sound of Android settings are not respected by the app.

    So my question is, are there plans to fix it in the next release or 1.0, or should I rather build my playlists elsewhere? It will respect the sound of Android settings, like Equalizer / Clear Audio / Department HX? I like Apple interface and feel better and prefer to continue my subscription to Apple's music, but I can't stand the sound flat...

    It seems very per device, Apple music on my HTC a M7 sound worse than my friends Samsung Galaxy that sounds like my iPhone.

  • bad sound quality in the desktop version but not in the modern windows application

    I have a brand new Microsft Surface Pro 3 with all the updates that are installed and the latest version of Skype.

    When I use the modern windows application, the sound quality is very good.

    When I use the desktop app, it looks like wind. The poor sound is experienced by myself and the recipient and also when I echo test call.

    I uninstalled the windows application modern to have installed both causes a conflict.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app without result.

    It is not the mouse or the speaker settings on my surface, because it works perfectly well when you use the modern windows application.

    any suggestions?

    I have now solved the problem by removing the MCO.

    For all those affected by the poor audio quality in Skype desktop client, please go to:

    Tools > Options > Audio Settings, then uncheck "Automatically adjust microphone settings" and "automatically adjusts the speaker settings.

  • Equium A110-233 bad sound quality

    Hi all, please can someone help,

    I recently bought a satellite A110-233 and the sound quality is terrible (I am aware that there is a conrtol of volume on the front of the laptop until someone asks ;-))

    I played around with all the settings including the Tru-Surround options and via the internal speaker volume level is very low, even though unfortunately this isn't my main concern. The main reason I bought the laptop was to use as the source for the reading of the media through my Hi-Fi and TV channel. When I connect to my stereo using a socket type of headphone 3.5 mm headphone output on decision-making for the twin RCA inputs on my system audio is absolutely appalling. The volume is very low and there is no depth to the sound and absolutely NOT that it's low.

    I tried to play the same files on the other half cell and the output is absolutely fine.

    I tried to download a new copy of the audio driver and install that. I also tried a full format of the laptop and reinstall windows from zero (not from the appropriate disk recovery, but since the windows CD), still no joy.

    Please please can someone help me because I can't use my system for what I bought it for!

    Thank you all

    Hello

    Hmmm, I'm not an owner Equium A110 and so I can't give you a professional opinion on this problem.
    For me it is not easy to tell if it is a hardware/software problem, or if it is simply a sound quality.

    In any case... I noticed several discussions here in the forum about bass on laptops Satellite A100 and a person has provided a solution.

    According to several messages try to delete or to rename the files RTHDAEQ0. DAT and RTHDAEQ1. DAT.
    You should find these files in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ folder

    But it is a solution of A100 series and I don't know if it helps on an A110.
    However, test it and please report results... It is interesting to me

  • W520 bad sound quality glitches and audio with current conexant driver

    Hi guys,.

    I have to deal with several audio problems. Before any change, I had a lot of glitches audio during playback of MP3s, videos etc.. Playback of the sound crashes from time to time and gives me the error of his (seeds, where some samples are played repeatedly).

    Then I read that the withdrawal of the conexant driver and using the windows 7 drivers works better. And they did it. I uninstalled the drivers conexant and tradingtextile.com win7 installed some standard drivers. Then, almost all the errors and faults were gone. But I could not use my docking station anymore.

    OK, now, I have installed the latest drivers conexant for windows 7, the problem is less than with the old drivers conexant, but always worse than drivers of windows 7 from microsoft.

    These problems appear to be associated with the use of the network. I think they appear much more often, if I'm connected to my local network or surf the internet. This occurs when you are using LAN or WLAN.

    In addition, the signal to noise ratio is very poor. If I kinda wrecked my speakers there are several 'sounds' when you use the W520, internet access, access hd etc. can all be 'heard '...

    Everyone knows the same? I spent a lot of time working on this problem. Why the lenovo could not put a decent sound card in the W520? It really gets me upset. Any help is appreciated.

    See you soon,.

  • Poor sound quality - Dell Inspiron 15 77537

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 i7-4510U, 16.6 "Touch. It had Windows 8.1 in it.

    It works great so far, aside from a BIG problem - the quality of audio playback is terrible.

    When I try to listen to music, I mean hardly any lower-end (or bass). I tried different equipment different buffering - my Sony stereo, as well as, the Beats Pro - the two dissapointing headphones gave results. For example, the same file played on my iPod sounds a LOT better that it does on my new Dell Inspiron. It is similarly for the same YouTube video playback on another computer using the same headset. It seems that all the other equipment (a laptop, iPod, iPhone) all seem the same and much better my Inspiron.

    The audio drivers are up to date (they were automatically selected depending on my model on dell.com). I also tried to change the equalizers on Realtek sound card settings. I noticed the difference, but all the options always leads to a much lower sound quality older compared to my laptop (which I'm sure that has default settings, that I never had no problem with the audio quality).

    Anyone have an idea how I can solve the problem? I heard that Windows 8.1 on some laptops may have some problems with its low-end, would this be the case? My most old laptop also uses Windows 8.1, just as the PC fixed, so I doubt it personally. Is it possible that this could be a manufacturing fault in the sound card?

    Any ideas how I can fix the sound quality are very popular.

    Kind regards
    Marius

    P.S. This is my first post here, so please be nice haha. Thank you!

    Hello. Try changing to the native Windows audio driver:

    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".
    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.]

    Is there still no bass then it could be a hardware problem, and for this you need to contact technical support. Make sure that the EQ in your music player (such as Windows Media Player) is set to normal. Also when comparing to other devices playback, all their eq and other improvements should be on flat, trying to compare apples with apples as much as possible.

  • Satellite P105-S6024 and terrible sound quality

    The sound quality on this laptop was very bad for some time.

    I tried all of the updates and drivers more recent download from Toshiba Web site without success, including latest conexant driver, which seems to be 2007. . . . I use XP/SP3. For a system that is supposed to have good sound quality, with harmon kardon speakers, it's frustrating because it is inaudible. The cracks of sounds, pop, is intermittent, is static and just is generally quite poor.

    There is not a problem with the volume, just the terrible sound quality any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I see you are using the Windows XP which was not preinstalled by Toshiba.
    I think that this laptop came with the Windows Vista operating system.

    Have you noticed the same sound quality by using the Windows Vista operating system?
    I think you should check this.

    If the noise would do better to use the Vista then it might be a problem of sound driver.
    I found another audio driver Conexant for Win XP. I use this one:

  • Satellite C870 - sound quality & Bluetooth connection problem

    C870 satellite.

    (1) problems with Bluetooth - machine could not find other peripheral and there were communications problems;

    (2) I am very, very disappointed by the quality of the sound. The speakers are very poor. If I had known I wouldn't n buy it! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to check it out and assumed Toshiba will keep minimum standards in this area.
    In the past (a few years ago)

    I used PC Toshiba laptop and it was OK.
    To be honest, I bought for this calculated because of my good experience of the past, but will be more careful in the future.

    Now I have to life with her in the past 800US.
    The rest is OK - for now.

    > 1) issues with Bluetooth - machine could not find other devices and there are communication problems;

    What Satellite C870-xxx you have exactly?
    From my own experience, some models support BT and some don t so probably your device does support BT or you have done something wrong then that configuration of BT.

    (> 2) I am very, very disappointed by the quality of the sound. The speakers are very poor. If I had known I wouldn't n buy it! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to check it out and assumed Toshiba will keep minimum standards in this area. In the past (a few years ago)

    My own different models of knowledge supports different hardware specifications. You can buy models of laptops with Harman-Kardon speakers that offer the best sound quality. This device seems to support standard speakers.
    So it s always a question of value for money and in my opinion it is not too bad.

  • Satellite C50-A-1 - sound quality is not good

    I don't know if I'm going crazy, but I recently did my laptop system restore (apply all updates of Windows) and the sound (with headphones) seems not as good. Particularly serious and to some extent, the highs are poor and I have a sort of 'mid range' non-descript sound quality.

    I checked that I was improving on DTS and checked, I got the latest driver from Toshiba has approved for the Realtek HD Sound. The only other thing I thought was the driver on the site from Realtek but suggesting that it's just a generic, and I wonder if it would be kind of a downgrade?

    In any case, would appreciate any thoughts.

    I have S50 Satellite - B and internal speakers are not so good and I m not satisfied with the sound, but this model is that the stereo speakers. But using his s helmet really not that bad especially after activation surround and low thrust option in DTS settings.

    Check also for the advanced options where you can change for the voice, the bass and treble levels. On the right side is also Equalizer so you can change all the settings and if all goes well set out for your headphone sound.

    Hello

    I have the Satellite Pro P300 (PSPCDE) with the same sound card. Satellite and Satellite Pro have exactly the same configuration material just my Satellite Pro comes with Vista Business and your probably one with Vista Home Premium.

    With this machine of the company, I also have Windows XP Home edition recovery DVDs. I tested with my laptop and with original sound Toshiba recovery image works well. I noticed that this recovery image has Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3.

    So the question is why your own installation ends with this noise problem.
    You have the option to install Windows XP SP3 home edition on your laptop satellite?

  • Yoga 10 - Very poor Bluetooth sound quality

    Hello

    I bought roughly the new Yoga 10 Tablet. Now, I wanted to use it with headphones and bluetooth speakers and noticed that the sound quality is quite poor. As the treble's strange artifacts in it. Pretty hard to explain but the sound is very audible lower both helmet and taken my old Tablet even to untrained ears. It's kind of compareable to a low bitrate MP3, although not quite difficult to explain.

    So far, I've tried connecting the load from JBL, Bose Soundlink Mini and a bluetooth headset from noname to the Yoga 10 Tablet and * ALL * have poor sound quality.

    Now the funny thing. When I connect audio devices bluetooth mentioned to my old Tablet (Lifetab E10310) or my phone (Galaxy Nexus) is by one of my windows device, there isn't * no. * problem with the sound quality. Yes I know bluetooth audio is compressed, but given the 10 Yoga produces its largely inferior to other devices the problem is clearly the tablet of Yoga of course from the same material. No difference if high sound quality on the map microSD or spotify.

    It is pretty much useless for listening to music via bluetooth.

    All suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Ok. Returned Tablet - problem solved. Sort of.

    I deffinately need an Android based Tablet, but it seems so difficult to find a good. I did not have high hardware demands and that Yoga 10 seems to do the trick and it was affordable too. However, it's a software has been total failure and I didn't want to exceed my return period to see if it matches Lenovo to solve problems. So now the hunt of another brand, but seems difficult. All have a major fault one way or another and if nothing else then on the battery life. Well. May be another couple of months with my Junk old Tablet and then the market will freeze. There was a glaring lack of introduction of beautiful tablets without major flaws for like a year or more (GPS might not be necessary, but a lot of apps that really just use google locationservice scored misunderstandably GPS as required, and as such it will install these apps via played googple - bad luck).

    Recently, I buy a Powercolor Radeon 7750 graphics card I have installed the drivers, uninstalled the current Intel Graphics driver from Device Manager and then install the new card.  I of course unplugged the PSU got rid of and left in power has failed to myself and plugged into the PCI-E.  After I tired to turn on but it does not start.  Fans begin to turn, including on the graphics card, but nothing comes up on the monitor and it won't start.  When I unplugged the 7750 card it starts very well?

    At first I thought that it was not powered ridiculously horrible 300w PSU they put so that I have upgraded to an a 450w.  Everything works with the new power supply installed without the card, but as soon as I plug the new map, he continues to not start as before installing the card.  I have searched and tried things for 2 days now and CAN NOT find a solution.  I know that the 620 does not access the menu of the BIOS under settings in advance who does not help (don't know why Dell would never think it was a good idea!) so I can't change anything in there.

    Please, any help would be fantastic!

    Thanks in advance!

    The card is a bad card.  There should be ZERO problems with the supply of the stock 305 w and a 7750.

  • Headphone Sound quality soundproof with no. beat all of a sudden

    Hi, a few days ago, I started my laptop (Toshiba C855) to listen to music through my headphones (which I do every day), and the sound quality was terrible, really choked with no background of graves and so bad, I couldn't distinguish the songs that were played (by any platform such as Spotify Youtube, Windows MP etc.). I t have the headphones off to a repair shop, but they couldn't find the problem is obviously an internal problem. I have tried many headphones that all work on other devices, I've updated, uninstalled and reinstalled Realtek, I've updated all the drivers, everything set to default settings... I've tried everything. I should also mention that the actual Laptop speakers are fine, and when I have my headphones in is also a rattling lingering in the background.

    I also noticed that when I tried to solve the problem on Realtek in Event Viewer, it is said that there were 2 events present that day, I started having these problems, which has said the following:
