No sound on XPS M1330 (w / screenshots)

Recently I started having problems with the sound card on my XPS M1330. The problem is that the internal sound card does not work and is no longer recognized by Windows Vista. I also use Ubuntu 8.04 and the sound is fine when I run it. The problem seems to be with Vista.

I tried several times to reinstall the driver from the Dell support site, but it still comes up with this error message.

And then when I go into Device Manager, that's what I see. The sound card is not where it should be, but in the "Other devices" section as an unknown device.

What can I do to fix this? Note that this is probably not a hardware problem as the sound card works perfectly on Ubuntu 8.04.

  • Replacement card mother XPS M1330 w / no sound

    Hey all, new Member of the forum here.

    I use my XPS M1330 for about 9 months and I loved.

    But then came the problem with the video, where I could start the computer and the screen would show black, then glow with a bright white with vertical lines colored through it. Apparently, it's a pretty common problem with the XPS M1330.

    In any case, I have Dell send me a technician today and he replaced my motherboard in 2 hours. The computer was returned and I had good display video back again.

    But then now I get another problem where audio is not working. The speaker on my bar has a red circle with a white "X" above, and running the cursor over them produced a message "No Audio output device is installed". Device Manager shows the sign "Sigmatel High Definition Audio CODEC"with a yellow"!" on the small speaker.

    I tried to install the new audio drivers from Dell and they didn't work.

    Need help here, I'll die without my music lol.

    Thank you

  • Dell XPS M1330-

    Hi all! I am working on a Dell XPS M1330 computer for a friend. When I got it, it was equipped with Windows Vista at a very slow pace and was inflated with the PUPPY and malware. He had a few strange bugs too, as the fact that he made a high-pitched buzzing sound when he ran not related to the hard drive (I've heard of computers Dell XPS 13 done this before, so I wasn't worried) and the Control Panel does not open on one of the accounts. I decided to reset the machine, which was quick and easy. Then a problem arose. This morning, I had propped it against my laptop bag and I was in search, but I push the XPS in the process (he was on the floor), and he fell on my toe (OE). After that, I checked to see if she was okay, (seemed like a small fall), but the computer froze. I hard reset it and it had some serious trouble starting. I realized it was just because of low battery, so I plugged it in and it seemed to work fine. Then, 30 minutes later when it was installing updates and other it blue screened apparently without reason and says error: Memory_Management. I tried to restart, but he again projected blue. I ran the diagnostic in F12 menu, and he passed all the tests until the memory March test B, where Bank A failed. I tried to open the machine and change the RAM slots to see if one of the banks has went wrong, (the age or the slight decline earlier in the day), but on trying to start again, he would similarly refuse to start. He just lies empty and flashing the caps lock button. I ran the diagnostic LCD tapping powerbutton - D and who has worked, but all the rest fails. I even changed the RAM to the original banks, but he is still unable to do anything else. I broke it! Is it RAM, age, ESD, motherboard or what? Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

    The error memory is the likely cause of blue screen - and the hard drive could have been damaged in the fall.  the system starts with the hard drive removed?  If so, you could have found a flaw.  Try the memory modules one by one until the bad module or the Jack has been isolated.

    The other big problem with this, is that if the system has a nVidia GPU - these are well known for not having.  If the GPU is nVidia, it is amazing that the system still works at this point - most of them will have failed for a long time.

  • Vista on the XPS M1330 laptop lost wireless when the lid closed (using the external monitor)

    Hello

    I bought an external monitor/keyboard/mouse for my laptop XPS M1330 (connection of the monitor via a HDMI to DVI cable).  However as soon as the lid is closed the wireless network stops working - opening the lid immediately launches the application again.  A network through a physical cable connection works with the closing of the cover.  Note, the network remains connected (or at least is always intended to be connected) it has not sent or received no information, while the lid is closed.

    XPS M1330 laptop under Vista Home Premium SP1 - Wireless card is Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG running the latest drivers 11.5.0.32.

    Power options are obviously set to shut down the computer laptop shut down, goes to stand by, or go into hybernation when the lid is closed... it is set to 'status quo '.  The properties of the wireless card has the "Ad hoc power management" disabled and the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" unchecked.

    When the cover is opened, the monitor takes the maximum size of the screen of the laptop, which goes against the objective set for the monitor in the first place.

    (As a side note, the laptop also refused to work with a wired via a network connection "homeplug" - even if a hub is placed between the laptop and the homeplug - and I refuse to run a cable between the router as the laptop will be used in another room of the router).

    Is there a solution to this, or is this a problem with Vista?  (Because if this is the case, it is yet another nail in the coffin - and it becomes difficult to find any more room for nails more!  Windows 7 is fast approaching!)

    See you soon,.

    Hi tom101449,

    ·          The WiFi was working fine earlier?

    ·          You did it all change hardware or software on your computer before this problem?

    Method 1

    If the problem occurs after you install the latest drivers Intel PRO / Wireless, you can restore the drivers for the card wireless to the previous version. For more information, see this link.

    Restore a driver with its previous version

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/restore-a-driver-to-its-previous-version

    Method 2

    When you connect to your wireless network, make sure that the option 'Save this network' is checked.

    In addition, right-click on the network > properties, then on the connection tab, check the box that says "connect automatically when this network is in range.

  • For the XPS M1330 NVIDIA graphics card

    Can someone tell me for Dell XPS M1330, NVIDIA which(model,specification) graphics card is compatible. Dell is saying that I have to buy any motherboard but local dealer says that they can replace only the NVIDIA card, but I don't know which is compatible for the Dell XPS M1330 motherboard. already replaced 3 motherboard due to problem of nvidia.

    Dell is right - there is no video to replace card.  The video chip is soldered to the motherboard, to be modified GPU failure.

    All the nVidia GPU used in the M1330 share the same technical failure - you are just as likely to see the next Board fail.  If you really want to keep the system, replace the motherboard with the Intel-video version (you need a new heat sink as well).  Otherwise, no matter what the jury would cost to replace would be better spent on a replacement system.  Between the age of the system and faulty engineering nVidia this line of chips, it's a dead-end.

    I can now boot windows... a little.  I can either start normally or repair mode (recommended).  I tried to fix the mode and he sat there on the screen for about 4 hours.  I tried in normal mode, and it loads in continuous (1: 00, still no start with microsoft windows bar continuously flashes).

    So now I lead nowhere, but the computer does not recognize the hard drive now.  What is an overheating problem?  What can I do?  I'm working on my laptop, so I suffer serious withdrawl.

  • No sound on XPS M1710

    Hey everyone, for some reason, my speakers stopped working. Headset works fine, but no sound from speakers. I checked to make sure that nothing has been put on mute, in the audio option in the control panel. I even did a full reformat, with all the right drivers and still no sound. Someone had this problem? It is possibel that somehow speakers were disconnected as of something inside the laptop? ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!
