microphone works only on Dell Inspiron 1525.

MIC not working not not on our Dell Inspiron 1525.
It used to work fine until about 3 months - then perhaps some other software/driver, we installed prevents the entrance of mic work Sigmatel.

I have re-installed the latest drivers Sigmatel Audio for Vista - 32 x, of the Dell Web site. Tried the external microphone and built-in microphone array. Neither one works. No idea what I need to do? Thank you!

Hello

1. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
2 do you have the card drivers installed on the computer at his last?

Step 1: Run the fix it tool in the following article and check.

Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/

Step 2: Check if the microphone is disabled.

1. click on start > Control Panel > switch to Classic view > sound > recording tab
2. right click in the empty space and select Show disabled devices > if the microphone is disabled enable it and click on the OK button. You can also try to select the microphone as the default device and check.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Microphone does not

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a built-in microphone. I run on vista. The microphone is not picking up my voice. I went to the control panel. I have made sure it is activated, and all volumes are rising. It is said that SigmaTel Microphone Array works, but that's not true. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled the SigmaTel driver. I did a system restore and that didn't help. The speech recognition does not pick up my voice either. All other sounds work fine, I built in Webcam which works very well, except for the record. But who is also defined on such sigma with all volumes upward. I've had this computer for over a year and the microphone used to work, I think that when I updated something she decided to not work. But I really need my microphone to work, and I am really frustrated because I can't use it. ANY advice would be appreciated thanks!

    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.

  • Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista

    Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.  It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.

    Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware".  There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.

    I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.

    My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad!  So frustrating.  I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post.  Someone help me please!  That's four times now.

    I thought about it!

    Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst.  He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left.  After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click".  _ Yes!

    Thanks for all your help, man.  I really appreciate it.  It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others.  Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 - unrecognized on external screen HDMI output

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a HDMI output port.  I have had no success with getting a display actually receive a signal from the laptop.

    I tried Windows 7 and Ubuntu and when I connect the hdmi cable to my TV, the laptop instantly detects a second display device, and I can even move my mouse cursor off the screen of my laptop when the 'extended display' expected to appear on the TV (clone of office, only showing the screen hdmi using FN + F8 ", etc. also does not display anything).  I tried all ports hdmi on the TV and have also tried external monitors with hdmi inputs, I tried three different hdmi cables that work with other devices, even once, the laptop recognizes the display and I can only activate the display in Windows/Ubuntu, but the external monitor receives a signal from the laptop.  Yes, I have made sure the TV/external monitors are set to the appropriate hdmi source.  I tried to have two devices turned off with the attached cable, then by restarting, etc..

    The Samsung TV that I want the output to work on will display a message "searching for signal" when I attach the hdmi cable, but after a few seconds will display "no signal". The problem is to get a real view on the external display device.  How can I get my hdmi port to send the signal my TV or other screen?  I spent hours on google and nothing has helped.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    I just thought I would update this thread that I surprisingly fixed this problem.  There was a missing screw under the laptop where the HDMI port.  I ordered a few screws replacement on EBay and I replaced where the screw should be.  There were a few other missing screws as well (I got the used laptop) that I replaced.  After filling in all the gaps, I tried the HDMI connection and it worked immediately.  No idea how or why that fixed the HDMI port, but he did.

  • Unable to connect to a wireless network with Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista

    I set up a wireless about a week ago and have done with the following security features: WEP, activate only certain MAC address to connect and disabled to broadcast the SSID.  I was able to use it very well with my Mac computer using the airport, but when I tried to connect my roommates, a dell inspiron 1525 with vista computer, it can not connect.  I can locate the network but when I try to connect to the network, I get a message saying that for a Windows cannot connect to the network and that the wireless link has failed for unknown reasons.  He then said to contact your administrator, but it's me.  I have a basic knowledge of computers just enough to be dangerous and basically know what I'm going along.  If anyone has any advice for me, my roommate and I'll be very grateful.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 webcam problem.

    I use a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop since 2008 and now the webcam is not working. I noticed that when I turned on the laptop, I get a flashlight blue color on the left side of the webcam, but now I do not understand that the blinking light. I installed the drivers from the dell support center webcam, but still it does not work. I bought this from a GCC country & now I'm in Sri Lanka, so I'm in two minds whether to get this repaired here or no reasoning that I don't know somewhere appropriate here. It'll be a big help, if I get a solution for this online.

  • Internal hard drive product compatible for Dell Inspiron 1525

    I need to replace the hard drive in my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. The current I is Seagate 2.5 ", 160 GB 5400 RPM and. The space must be 500 GB or less. I prefer Seagate Momentus Thin ST500LT012 500 GB at 5400 RPM. This would be compatible with my laptop. Otherwise, what are you kindly suggest another replacement for this drive.

    Any 2.5 "SATA drive will work - if you go with a 7 mm disc ("thin") you might have a spacer for mounting the drive, because the system is designed to take the road of 9.5 mm and the thinner one is unable to make contact with the motherboard without spacer.

    I'd go with WD or HGST drives - Seagate had problems of reliability of the end.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Wireless and battery problems

    Hey! So, I recently dug my old laptop, a Dell Inspiron 1525.

    When I started it, it's horrible and basically endless sequence of beeps. Then finally he started on. Battery says "plugged in, not charging" and when unplugged the computer turns off. The Wireless does not work. I tried the switch on the side, and I tried to install the drivers from the drivers disk and a USB port with the updated drivers, I got from Dell. The wireless is not working. I have re-installed Windows Vista 32-bit. (The default OS) and still no luck.

    Any thoughts? Anything I should try? Thank you. :)

    Hello

    To get the deleted password BIOS you will need to contact Dell Technical Support.  We cannot do that here on the forums.  You will need to contact them (probably by telephone) and be able to verify ownership of this system in order to reset the password for them.  They will ask you things like the name and address of the shipping system was initially sent, the name of the owner (in archives), etc.

    If you don't know that information you can go to the online form for change of ownership of the American (he has a link to the international on this page if necessary) and the system of re-registration in your name in our system.  If you do not have this information, you will need to contact the original owner to get it, or call our Technical Support team and they will be able to give you a better idea of what they need.

    Reset / flashing the BIOS will allow this system to "see" the card if it is not currently (and until the card works).   Which should allow drivers, etc., will be installed, which theoretically should allow you to get out of the internet with the wireless connection.

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 wireless network adapter

    Quite all right, I bought my Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I had a problem with it, and a "technician" incompetent deleted (!) Vista and installed XP. Now I finally had the time to reinstall Vista and everything is good, but I don't seem to be able to give life to the wireless network adapter. In fact, the applications and drivers that I downloaded seem even to see the wireless adapter, as if the equipment was not there. I'm really desperate because it's a vital function that I badly need, and my happiness to get finally reinstalled Vista has now turned into frustration, like the wireless was working with XP! Any help, please? I tried to download everything I could find at Dell, but nothing seems to work.
