Loooow Volume with srs 'premium sound' on Inspiron 5010

I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 5010 and when you move the volume to 100%, I can barely hear the sound.

My husband has a Dell Inspiron N5110 (we have two Windows 7) and its sound is supreme!  (My 100% is his 20%!)  I have all its parameters set in correspondence with my machine and my volume is still unacceptable.

I am trying to edit music on my laptop and I can't hear it accurately!   A Dell sales representative suggested that I have buy another card its srs... What do you think?  I'm not tech savvy, I'll have to take it to someone to install the new card.  This could be something simple like an audio driver problem?

I'd appreciate your suggestions! Thank you...

Hello. The problem is in the hardware or the audio driver. Although both the Inspiron N5010 15 and Inspiron 15R N5110 IDT audio material, they do not share the same audio driver IDT, so that could explain the difference (or it could be a hardware problem).

I suggest you try all the audio drivers available for your model to see if it gives the greatest volume. 2 available IDT drivers:

IDT 6.10.0.6267 (old)

IDT 6.10.0.6289 (most recent)

You have currently either one of those or the driver audio Windows native. I suggest you just go about it like that.

First open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the start menu > Search box and press enter). Expand the 'controllers, audio, video & game"and look for"IDT High Definition Audio Codec ". If it's there, right-click on it and 'uninstall' and select the delete files option. Restart the laptop and check in the Device Manager again to be sure that IDT has disappeared. If this is not the case, repeat. When you see just "high definition Audio Device" instead of IDT, then you are ready to test pilots.

1. the pilot named simply "High definition Audio Device" is the native Windows audio driver. When you looked in Device Manager first, IDT was not here it means that you have already been using the native driver. Test the audio with the native driver and note the volume level.

2. download and install the IDT 6.10.0.6267 (former) driver. Test and note the volume.

3. download and install the IDT 6.10.0.6289 (newer) driver. Test and note the volume.

If the old driver IDT made the better, you must completely remove the most recent old IDT driver files before you can install the other more again (as per instructions above).

If the native driver was the best, here's a simple way to switch backwards between the natives and the IDT drivers. The reason why you do not want to do, it is that the external microphone jack does not work when you use the native driver.

1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the start search box and press ENTER).
2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "IDT High Definition Audio Codec".
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 IDT pilot, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

If all drivers provide poor volume then it's a hardware problem. In this case, you could improve volume using the equalizer to your audio player, such as Windows Media Player and all levels by pushing all the way to the top. Another thing is to use the popular VLC media player which has a function to amplify the volume of more than 100%, but note that this can damage your laptop speakers because it performs this trick by saturation of the amplifier which creates a type of small speakers audio distortion can not manage. However, occasional small boost must be correct in most cases.

Probably the best way to cope is to use headphones or external speakers when editing and let them provide the volume you need.

A Dell sales representative suggested that I have buy another card its srs... What do you think?  I'm not tech savvy, I'll have to take it to someone to install the new card.

"SRS" is software. Your "sound card" is an IDT audio chip on the motherboard that can not be replaced. When audio hardware craps, you will need to install a new motherboard. However, you can use a usb instead of your IDT audio sound card, but it will not play through the laptop speakers - you can use headphones or external speakers which you could do now anyway.

There is a device that handset usb sound card and external speakers - usb-speakers. These devices are small speakers that get their power from the usb port, so they are portable and some are quite cheap. They contain their own "sound card" (CED), so they do not use the IDT audio. These devices are not very powerful but should provide at least as much volume 15R N5110 puts out.

    So I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with SRS Premium Sound(printed on my casing and came with computer) I downloaded and installed the update of the BIOS for my laptop exact BIOS from HP (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-75532-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&product=3860431&os=2100&lang=en) after you install the BIOS of my computer restarted.

    How can I get my SRS Premium Sound work and back on my HP Pavilion dv4-1220us

    I had the same problem that you have done and did a Google search, which led me to this post.  Like you, I noticed on flashing the BIOS version F.52, Windows "found" high definition Audio Device as it has never previously been installed.  I realized he killed my SRS sound.

    I can tell you that flashing back to F.4A and installing drivers above brought back my SRS features in the IDT Control Panel.  I have flashing F.52 to F.4A (old version) without any problem.

    Support for Windows 7 was apparently introduced in F.4A and F.49, by their release notes:

    F.4a: Updates the OPROM Computrace to support the next generation of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    F.49: Adds support for future Microsoft Windows operating systems.

    BIOS F.52 caused me the noise problem and also my laptop makes Beeping very occasionally when starting.  He also made Windows prompt me to "remove" the DVD-Rom drive in the taskbar...  Decommissioning of the BIOS took questions (and I lost one afternoon to do)

    Just trying to help...  If anyone has these problems, try flashing to F.4A.

  • Z1 workstation: accidentally deleted SRS Premium sound...

    Earlier last month the SRS premium sound 'audio improvement' function stopped working on my computer, just as he did to the user in the following thread well that I have not updated.  I had not done something that he has just stopped working no reason.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-audio/SRS-premium-sound-enhancements-not-working/TD-p/2377719

    It is very annoying as the speakers on this computer are all simply too quiet without this improvement, especially when streaming movies online - even at full volume, you cannot hear the dialogue very well.  I studied the problem and found a link to a driver who would do my speakers louder, it worked, but it sounded terribly saturated (I don't remember what we called this driver), anyway, that has stopped working also.  And then I discovered that what I had downloaded had deleted the SRS for my computer driver/software, the icon was no longer in the Panel "Hardward and Sound."

    I tried to find the SRS Premium Sound software to re - install on my computer, but all I can find is a different version with a small interface that does not seem to do anything. It's too late to do a restore of the system as well.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Stan [personal information deleted]

    If you want to install any software supplied with unit, then you will need to find the swsetup folder. To find the right folder program, will make you more than likely need to try running Setup in each file to find what you are looking for. The installer must list what it is and it can be cancelled. Some may have a file readme.txt as well, so this could be another way, if it is present.

    If you go to the folder of the application via the context menu, it will take you to the program folder files, that it has been installed. I can't guarantee a functioning copy / paste from there. Some programs must go through the registry to create a registry key to work and this is done during the installation process. Honestly, you should be able to access a partition from Windows. The partition of Windows 8 should be accessible from Windows 7 and the Windows 7 partition should be accessible from Windows 8.

  • Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

    Hello

    I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
    I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

    Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

    Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

    Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

    Thank you
    Markus

    AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
    I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

    But I found the solutions :)

  • Satellite P205D - how to adjust the volume with sensitivity control

    I was wondering if there was a way to adjust the sensitivity of the variable volume wheel.

    I noticed that in the turning point, I'll go to volume level 0 directly at the level of volume 4, which is quite frustrating, because I'm used to using a dial bound volume that will increase the volume of minor rotation 1 level of each instead of minor rotation 4 levels each.

    And with headphones this floating dial increases the volume of uneasy quiet. (my comfortable with headphones is between 1 and 2)

    Thank you
    -Talmru

    Hi mate

    To be honest I didn t notice such big difference using the volume control digital on my Satellite.
    I m not owner of the Sat P205 because this P205 is a model of Toshiba laptop and here in Europe, you will find only the P200.

    However, as I said above, I can adjust the volume with sensitivity and volume increases not rapidly from 1 to 4.
    Of course this new generation of volume controls works a little different than the volume controls current, old mechanics, but you should be able to affect the level of volume correctly.

    I put t know which driver sound and that Toshiba control you are using, but maybe you should check if the update might help you

    Good bye

    Hello

    Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
    the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
    Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Problem strange volume with OS 7.1 MP3 playback

    Hi all

    I'm having a strange problem when playing an MP3 of my application.

    I use javax.microedition.media.player class, and I know it sounds weird, but after reading the his 25 times the volume becomes weaker.

    The application is compiled with version 5.0 of JDE and works without problems on all devices except those with OS version 7.1.

    I tested in a 9900 a 9860 and a 9810 with OS 7.0 and 7.1, and only detected this problem when this last operation, so I think that not is a code related issue.

    Also, I tried to recompile the application with JDE 7.1, but makes no difference.

    Even I put the volume level whenever the sound is played:

        public boolean play(String fnm, boolean isLoop)
        {
            if (!isDeviceAvailable) {
                return false;
            }
    
            Player player = (Player) soundsMap.get(fnm);
            if (player == null) {
                return false;
            }
    
            if (player.getState() == Player.STARTED){
                return true;
            }
    
            try {
                if (isLoop)
                    player.setLoopCount(-1);
                VolumeControl volumeControl = (VolumeControl) player.getControl("VolumeControl");
                volumeControl.setLevel(volumeLevel);
                player.setMediaTime(-1);
                player.start();
                return true;
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            { System.out.println("Could not play " + fnm);
            return false;
            }
        }
    

    All the world has noticed this same problem with any of your applications?

    I finally managed to find the problem.

    When you have more than one player loaded in memory appears this extrange with volume behavior.

    As I say this happens with OS 7.1

    If anyone is interested, this simple application to reproduce the behavior. Simply load two mp3 files and let them sound, until you enjoy a change in volume (not over 25 or 30 loops in my case)

    As you can see, only the second player is started...
