No audio Dell Inspiron

I run the 32-bit diagnostic test and found nothing.  The drivers are up to date.  The sound comes to leave one day, and I don't remember installing any software. Headphones are also not workking.  Yet once the diagnosis has worked.  I heard the song.

Can you suggest something for me to try?

> Try using Windows system restore. (Type system restore in her start > Search box and press the Enter key) Select a restore point dated to before when the problem started.

> Re install the audio driver. Go to the Inspiron model selection page and follow the links to the page of the driver for your model. Don't forget to select your operating system before downloading the driver. Expand the Audio category to find your audio driver.

If you need more help, please provide the name of full model of your laptop - there are dozens of different Inspiron models - and the operating system you are using.

I re - install Audio driver, but the problem persists. Please help me in this regard.

    Thank you

    There was a recent update of Windows that causes havoc widespread with audio. I suggest you try the solutions for this first before trying other things. Here are the 2 solutions the members of the forum have reported so far.

    ===========================================================================

    1ST SOLUTION POSSIBLE
    Countiss Forum member wrote that it is because of Microsoft...

    "KB2962407 update, stipulating that she fixed"Shortcut autonomy when an inactive audio device is not turned off on a computer running Windows". ".
    You don't have to do a restore of the system to get rid of updates; easier to go to Windows Update, view update history. On the top of this screen, click installed updates. "Then comes the with button the update you want to uninstall."

    =============================================================================

    2ND SOLUTION POSSIBLE
    Natakuc4 forum Member says update to Windows 8.1 will fix it. He wrote:

    "Ii you still on Windows 8.0." You should switch from 8.0 to 8.1 Windows Windows. See the instructions here:
    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Microsoft-Windows-and-Office/Download-Microsoft-Windows/upgrading-to-Windows-8-1-from-Windows-8-0-via-the-Microsoft-store/
    Uninstall the audio and video drivers before the update. After the update, uninstall the network drivers and chipset and get drivers Windows 8.1 (WB64A).. »

    You can get the drivers that he mentions, either from the support page for your model once you select 8.1 as the operating system in the area of selection, or you can get the Dell ftp server, where they are named 'WB64A' and 'WB32A', which means 8.1 64 bit and 32 bit.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 and any time I try to play mp3 with Media Monkey or even Windows Media player, I get a jerky sound or jump slightly.  I looked into the Task Manager and my CPU usage and the memory never get more than 45%.  I have Windows Vista installed.  Could be the problem?  I think that the audio device is SigmaTel.  When I do a search for new audio drivers, it says that they are all to date.  Help, please!  I'm at my wits end here!

  • Dell Inspiron 15 type jack and audio jack?

    Hello

    I use Dell Inspiron 3542-4627, and I'm about to buy a new helmet. Since my laptop has a single input for microphone and headphone jack, and most of the helmets separated inputs microphone and headphones, I really need to know what type of audio from my laptop. How can I know if my laptop has TAKEN or TRS jack socket? I need to know this so I can get 2xTRS to JACK or 2xTRS to the TRS separator?

    Thank you in advance.

    See you soon.

    joa1101
    2xTRS PLUG or TRS separator 2xTRS

    2 x TRS of DECISION-MAKING. Any combo headphone plug is TAKEN, because the headphones stereo need 2 contacts, the mono microphone needs one, and it needs common ground, for a total of 4 contacts.

    Struggling combo assume that a helmet combo (type smart phone) will be used with it. I think that the thought is that most people just want to make communications with their laptops, and that people who are serious about audio will get outboard audio interfaces for their audio needs of high quality.

    You can try traditional computer headphones with a splitter, but we have received reports of mixture on dispatchers, with more people saying that they are not only working people who have had success. An alternative to a separator is an input jack usb audio. Those who provide ports separated for the microphone and headphones are cheap on Amazon and elsewhere, and may not be of the best quality. USB plugs have their own ADC and DAC, and thus a separate audio system of the built-in notebook Realtek audio systems.

  • Dell Inspiron 1420 none audio internal speakers.

    Good day, everyone.

    I have Inspiron 1420 Vista 32 of my brother as a gift. He had before and said he had sound from the moment he bought, but later (he doesn't remember when) the sound just disappeared. I reinstalled the system to the factory settings (press F8 and then restored from the recovery D: drive). No audio through loudspeakers. However, I can hear everything if I connect my headphone via jacks-audio connectors. I reinstalled the drivers for the "drivers and utilities" DVD. Same result. I downloaded the two drivers from the download page of Dell (R157031 and R167846) and tried one by one. Same thing. I ran diagnostic test (F12 >... > system > Custom > Audio Analog test and can hear the sound on the speakers.) I tried to remove the driver, and then restart the computer, so Vista can catch the new material and solve the problem, but after that the new hardware has been detected, Windows driver installed, the result is the same. I checked if the speakers are cut and they were not. I checked the control panel > sounds and saw 2 options on the digital playback, and speakers/headphones (with a green check mark) output device. Tried all the options, but still can't hear anything through speakers, but can through the headphones.

    Guys, before I will let fall and broke it laptop, help. Please, I beg you. I'm sure the solution is close, just need advice.

    Jimco

    I don't know about 1420. The 1520 has a taken audio daughterboard here, Reference Dell: RT882.

    It says Vostro 1500, which is the same as the Inspiron 1520. There is a phone number you can call (1-800-357-3355) to see if it is also for the 1420.

    Good day Jimco,.

    I am very happy and proud of me, because I did.  I did it. I did it.

    I fixed the sound. Yesterday, I spent almost an hour talking with Dell customer service, technical department and * knows who else and I got I need to replace my motherboard ($299). I couldn't find any info on the site of Dell Inspiron 1420 Audio Jack Daughterboard as you have shown to me, so I decided to see him personally.

    Today, I disassembled my laptop complete with MANUAL DELL for INSPIRON 1420. NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed / replaced this post by Dell > after I pulled out the mother board, I could find (YES!) Audio Jack daughter Board. I started to chat with Dell and spent an hour trying to explain to them, this girl for Inspiron card exists and that I hold in my hand... I showed them your link... I wanted to just buy the card Audio Jack daughter at home, but they have checked my service tag, asked me if I have waranty, where have I bought this laptop... So, accordingly, I have no help from Dell.

    After that I gave up on them, I put up any piece of aluminum foil, touch my problematic jack and then assemble everything back. And VOILA! Everything is fine. I have a sound input of the internal speaker, I have a jack for headphones, a disabled jack and a microphone jack. TADA!

    Thanks Jim, for your attention and support.  I am really grateful for your help.

    Thanks again. And good luck.

  • Dell inspiron one a HDMI input with output usb audio

    Hi, I recently bought a dell inspiron one 2330 and some of my blu - ray high-fidelity discs do not work very well at all. :(un peu déçu car c'était la principale raison que je l'ai acheté.)

    So I tried my blu - ray player in the HDMI port, but now it only uses the computer speakers not my B & W Zeppelin air via the USB input.

    If advice how to fix the blu - ray glitch player that seems to start and stop on most of my records or produce audio output to HDMI input to the USB port would be much appreciated

    Thanks in advance.

    Which seems to indicate a problem with your video card. The cooling works may not properly. I would contact Dell on the replacement of it. This may explain the poor video performance.

  • Problem with DELL Inspiron 3521 audio!

    Hello

    I bought this laptop DELL Inspiron 3521 sometimes back and I am facing a problem with the audio. I had the experience that I use only. Audio keeps switching from left to right and sometimes works only on one side. Initially, I thought that it was a problem with my headphones but I tried with several headphones and still I have experienced the same problem. But the speakers of the laptop works very well. Could this be a problem with the audio port? Can someone help me on this.

    Thank you

    Could this be a problem with the audio port?

    Hello, Daniel. How to determine who must pass the native Windows audio driver Realtek audio driver. If you don't have the driver from Realtek, you can get it from the Inspiron 3521 support page.

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the box of Windows search).
    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.]

    If the headphone does not work correctly when you use the Realtek or driver audio native then it's a hardware problem.

    If it works fine with the native driver but not the Realtek driver, then the Realtek driver is buggy. In this case let me know which operating system your laptop and I'll see if there is a Realtek driver different, that you can use.

  • Quality Inspiron Audio Dell?

    Hello

    do you know how is the audio quality of Dell Inspiron comparing to other manufaturers? I used to work with Lenovo T520 + helmet hi-end, sound was good. Now I use the same headset hi-end with brand new Dell Inspiron, and the sound it produces is not satisfactory. I downloaded the latest audio driver from Dell and still is not good. By bad I mean that you can not make a difference between not expensive and headphone hi-end when the Inspiron. Serial number is maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

    Perhaps it would be Inspiron comes with his crappy card and there is no point wasting audio drivers update time. If this is the case, please let me know without hesitation.

    Hi Lidoopus,

    I checked the configuration of the system; your laptop has Maxx 4 Audio which can be used to enhance the audio effects. You can configure the audio settings according to your taste.

    This system is also the audio embedded with skull candy speakers and subwoofer.

    We will have to try some creative things to get these devices to work because your laptop was not designed to run Vista or W7.
