No audio output to connect optical S/PDIF on XPS L501X

Hi, I'm trying to connect my laptop XPS to a Logitech 5.1 system using S/PDIF output. I get the light at the end of the cable, so I know I have the optical part of the connection works, but there is no sound. The Logitech unit tells me that I get all digital data, and the internal speakers on the laptop does not turn off when I plug the S/PDIF (as in, it acts like nothing has been connected).

I looked everywhere for a parameter which will direct the audio to the optical output and to mute the internal speakers, but can't find it. I said the applet Realtek I plugged an S/PDIF connection in the connector. You would think that this would automatically shunt the audio of this output, but no luck. Even if she is out of light, laptop computer behaves as if nothing is plugged.

If it is relevant, making combo works fine when I plug headphones (headphones hear; internal speakers mute). And the Logitech system works very well with regular electric entries, so I don't think that's the problem.

Any advice?

Thank you very much

  • analog audio output and digital optical

    I just bought a 500-214 with IDT High Def Audio CODEC Pavilion / DTS Sound +.

    Is it possible to get opitcal of audio output digital and analog (speakers/headphones) at the same time?  Stereo amp needs access both to the multizone/source function.  I can manually choose one or the other before the reading - it is clumsy that when audio of of active switching devices will turn off, but a passage to not always light up.  But I really need both active simultaneously for amp work properly.  I also found jack rear speaker to be more stubborn while headphones jack front of switch.

  • XPS L501X no internet connectivity

    Hi all.

    I can't connect to internet either through a WiFi connection or ethernet on my XPS L501X 64 bit running Windows 7. This problem occurred suddenly after a microsoft update failed. The Action Center lists a number of problems including;

    Host process for Windows Services. Windows Update installation problem

    Microsoft Management Console... Stopped working

    Network Diagnostics Framework (4)... Impossible to diagnose and repair problems

    I can copy the technical details on Notepad and send them if it would be useful to determine the problem and find a solution.

    Of course, no connection internet, I have been unable to report the problem, find solutions or run diagnostics online and use another laptop to connect.

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver and nothing helped (Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000) WiFi adapter. I used the Wizard update Intel thingy which uninstalled the old adapter and installed a new. I have not updated the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller driver, but when I click on update driver, it indicates the the latest driver is installed. All devices are listed as working properly.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Appreciate the work you people are doing at HP, have already ordered your suggestion on Ebay for less than $5.00 with free shipping.  I'll let you know if it works, my knowledge of electronics is not old enough to know if the signal from the optical output on my HP computer Jack is strong enough to divide and two stereo receivers to power without a signal amplification.  Thank you very much!

  • How can I get my optical audio output to work on my TV?

    I have a 50A 2020 Sony KDS and trying to get the audio out to work. IM got a Roku for Christmas which works very well. I connect via HDMI to the roku to TV which works fine. My problem is I want the sound to come through my receiver and speakers instead of the TV speakers, so I ran an optical cable from the Audio out on the back of the TV to the receiver. the problem is that it does not work. What do I need to enable something somewhere to tell the TV to send audio out via the optical cable? I don't want to spend hundreds of $ on a new receiver...

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.

    Unfortunately, this generation of TV doesn't have the function to send the audio using an optical digital output to an HDMI input. Work optical TV when you use the TV tuner because it only works for digital channels. I understand the Roku doesn't have optical or coaxial, so you may have to buy a receiver that has HDMI in and connect the Roku and HDMI on the receiver to the HDMI on the TV.

    Hello
     
     
     
    Method 1.
    Please update the video card drivers, but also the audio drivers and then check if you have the ability to change the audio device by default.
     
    Update your sound driver in Device Manager:
    a. Click Start and then click Control Panel
    b. click on system and Maintenance
    c. under Device Manager, click on devices and equipment display
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    d. expand sound, video and game controllers
    e. right click on your Audio Controller, and then click Properties
    f. Select the driver tab
    g. click the Update Driver button.
    h. Select the option automatically search for an updated driver
     
    Windows will now look for an update for your Audio drivers locally and on the internet and then will guide you through the process of installing the driver.

  • Digital input to Toshiba 46TL-> no analog audio output to amplifier

    Hi all

    When I connect a video source (e.g. computer laptop via DLNA) to my 46TL, output TV audio analog (red/white taken connected to an amplifier) does not work.

    It does, however, watching television.

    Is it possible to configure the TV to read the audio data from digital input (HDMI/DLNA) to the analog output?

    Thank you for the help

    Not quite what series of TLxxx you have, but for example the TL938 supports a digital (optical) audio output port that provides a digital audio signal.
    Why n t connect the amplifier to the TV using this Jack?

    Connectors for component video / audio to the rear of the TV are the ports of ENTRY and not the OUTPUT ports. So, you can send an audio signal to the TV and not the amplifier output.

  • How to make my computer send all audio data via an optical audio cable instead of making headphones?

    Howdy,

    To listen to the radio online or CD played from my computer, I used to connect the computer to my entertainment system at home since the headphone jack of the computer to the port on my home entertainment system.

    Now, I wanted to get a better sound and bought the optical audio cable. However, I don't know how to tell my computer to send the audio signal to the system entertainmeny home via digital cable optical, rather than by the headphone. If I just disconnect the cable between the headphone and the port to THE and have only the PC and the system connected with the optical audio cable, I can't hear any sound. I suspect that the computer is not sending the data through the optical audio port. I'm not able to figure out how I can adjust the settings on my computer so that, from now on, all sounds are emitted through the optical audio.

    (1) I want to do it especially for my desktop HP (configuration below) and advice on how to do this would be appreciated.

    (2) I also have a HP laptop (configuration below) and I was wondering if this would be feasible too (even if she does not have an audio output, but it has an HDMI output - you can convert audio optical?)

    Hello @_goma,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I read your post about how you want to send all the audio data via an optical audio cable instead of the headphone jack of your computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    To configure your desktop computer to activate the optical audio cable, I advise you to follow the steps below:

    Step 1. Click on the button of the Windows key on your desktop

    Step 2. Type "Control Panel."

    Step 3. Select "Control Panel" in the upper right corner

    Step 4. Select sound

    Step 5. On the Read tab, right click on the white box under available devices

    Step 6. Select "Show disabled" and "show disconnected devices".

    Step 7. Connect your Audio optical cable

    Step 8. Select your cable Audio perspective as the default device, and click 'enable '.

    Because it is not possible to convert the audio output HDMI output on your laptop, it is regrettable that the laptop is not able to connect with an optical audio cable.

    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your response!

    I have a satellite laptop computer pro that is used as the center of entertainment in my room before, i.e. ripped music is played through my stereo, it's my player to dvd etc..

    My problem is the following - the only link of notebook with stereo I know and am currently using is a 3.5 mm jack adaptor phono twins connected at the front of the laptop and then phono leads stereo auxiliary input adapter. It works pretty well but I noticed that when you listen to songs more calm music, there is a lot of background noise, almost as if the internal working of the laptop sounds are picked up through the headphone jack.

    Y at - it another way to make a portable hi-fi audio output via usb for example, thus obtaining a more pure sound. My hi-fi entry is phono of twins.

    There are two useful links providing you a USB audio device to record sounds and to connect other audio devices.

    Here, you can connect the S/PDIF audio cable and can connect the HFI for notebook computer in digital mode.

  • Predator G9-591-70XR - Audio output

    I recently bought a predator G9-591 with GTX 980 m graphics card. When I connect the laptop with my home theater system (which in turn conencts to a TV) via an HDMI cable, everything was great and the audio output is through output Audio Intel. But when I run the game, the sound doesn't come out of the Home Theater system more, according to the portable speaker.

    I guess it's because when I play the game, the phone goes from integrated graphics Intel at GTX980m. I couldn't find a Nvidia high definition Audio System output (both in the Strait and the Device Manager), Realtek (the speaker), and output Audio Intel (integrated graphics card I think).

    That is why I would ask that

    (1) is the GTX980m in the laptop has audio output function? If so, how can I activate it?

    (2) if not in above, can I connect my TV via the display Port and connect the Home Theater via HDMI, so using the display to the video signal output Port and HDMI for audio output signal? Would be the integrated graphics card Intel disabled when switched to GTX980m and not able to output audio?

    In light of the laptop is not S/PDIF output, I don't know he was looking for is a way I can output sound via a digital output channel 5.1.

    Thank you all for your response. I have re-solved the problem myself.

    Turns out that the graphics card of 980 m is attached to the output Display Port and integrated graphics Intel is set to HDMI output. I connected my Home Theatre to my laptop via display Port, which in turn connected to the TV, all is well again, and I can get 5.1 sound when playing games.

  • No Audio output CS6 after update to Matrox

    Given that I've updated the driver for Matrox Mini / Max 7.0.2 I have now no audio output to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. Levels are appearing on the audio player, and the ASIO settings appear normal. Matrox has done something. I thought I would ask here. (I have the file exported and audio is here... so it's just a problem of output connection).

    The audio is normally routed by Realtek Digital Optical Output, which works (audio works with other software.) Adobe ASIO is set on this out of work.

    I think install it Matrox changed the setting... but thought I would ask here on the Adobe Forum first see if there is a solution. Since it's a Saturday. Thank you.

    It is not the setting.  The one you want is on the Read tab.  Put an audio "Audio desktop Adobe" rather than 'Matrox Player' device.

    The Matrox parameter directs the audio outputs audio from the MXO2, the Adobe parameter directs audio outputs audio from your sound card.
