Problem of audio / headphone XPS before 8500

Hello

I got my XPS 8500 about 3 months ago and have been using it without problem since then. However, recently my headphone jack/audio front just stopped working... Im not sure what to do to solve this problem, when I plug my headphones, he does not even read that nothing was plugged.

IM using Windows 8 and would really appreciate it if someone could help me solve this problem!

Thank you very much

Same problem, the only solution has worked for me (thankfully).

Thank you.  Now the audio before behaves the way that we expect (not more to select that I use it every time).

You wanted to add however that I had to restart once again that all browsers (I-explorer, Chrome and Firefox) will decide on loading a page.  Weird, I know, but had to be associated with the update of the driver.  Could ping the outside world.

  • Headphone Jack, not to let the two devices at the same time - work Realtek problem - Dell Audio is unusable

    A copy of my post TomsHardware, where no one was trying to help:

    "To begin with, no thread any where online have solved my problem. My problem in the simplest possible terms:

    -J' bought a Razer right headphone, it does not work when it is connected.

    -J' spent the next 4 hours of downloading, re - download, install, uninstall and reinstall the Realtek drivers, because everybody says I had allow a setting or a related subcontractors as struggling separate devices or something, and I do not have the Realtek HD GUI; at least, I don't think so...

    - Then I discovered that Dell has decided to replace GUI from Realtek with "Dell Audio", which had two options, one of them being that it should even display settings or not.

    -J' took a few steps in Dell Community site and spent the Realtek driver with the Microsoft driver, and that got the headset to work.

    -My headset works fine, but the microphone is not yet detected.

    What I have relevance: right Razer headphones + microphone detachable; Dell Inspiron 15 w / only, audio unified; each unique Realtek and Microsoft audio driver compatible with Windows 8.1.

    What I don't have: the Realtek audio Manager.

    What I wish I had not: Audio from Dell.

    Someone please help me on this, because I have just fired over $100 for it, and I intend to use it for professional players and podcasting; no microphone is not cut it.

    Sorry if I look really angry at the moment, but I think we've all been there...

    Thank you. »

    The main issue: there is a definition of Realtek Audio Dell only exists to ban, I need to change that. I need to configure it to allow two different devices to use in the same decision, and Audio Dell replaced Realtek GUI with its own, which is pretty... Pretty useless. The two parameters, as there, one of them is "Show advanced settings", so congratulations to anyone who decided to do this monstrosity.

    Please provide another way to separate input devices that are entered into the same outlet

    A headset devices are already separated in the properties. A helmet is an input device, microphone, which can be set as the default device in the properties (Control Panel > sound > recording tab > micro). It is for the internal microphone until an external microphone is connected. The other part of the headset, the headset is governed by sounds > playback > speakers. Who controls the speakers until the headphones or external speakers are connected.

    Inspiron 15 3542

    Thank you. I wanted to know because a couple of the Realtek drivers have a problem with the headphones or the part headphones headphones. Headphones are recognized by their impedance detection and I think that some of the drivers have their settings come down a little, or too narrow. None of the Realtek for the Inspiron 3542 versions are known to be bad for me, but if you get audio in the headphones using the native driver but not as the pass of the Realtek driver then I feel that the fault is with the Realtek driver. You can see all the drivers that comes from Dell for your model in the Inspiron 15 3542 html page. There is audio for Win7, 8.1 and 10 pilots. "WB" means 8.1 and 'WT' 10. I think that there are 2 of each. Try the two for any operating system you have. (If you have10 which, in itself, could be the problem - other people have said they have started the headphone problems when they installed 10) You should not try to install an older version of the driver on a newer version. First remove the newest one in the control panel.

    It befuddles me that Dell would give us a different GUI that has so few options

    I don't know if Dell Realtek & made that choice for technical reasons or something. I think that some of the laptops did not have the Realtek Manager when Dell has started using Realtek as a supplier, but that changed. Of course no one is happy to have fewer options, but yours is the first post, I've seen that reported to the mic. Many other posters have been unhappy, because Dell's Audio Manager does not provide a way to separately control the volume of the headset which is a problem because they can be much too strong, but the real Realtek Manager has an option to display ' phones as a separate device from the speakers.

    "and I used an adapter USB jack to try my usual Microsoft LifeChat headset).

    Is an adapter USB jack of the same thing that the USB input audio in my previous screenshot? A usb plug avoids the problems of the Realtek combo decision-making because the USB does not use Realtek hardware or driver from Realtek. Headset LifeChat know either, but if they are a usb headset while they should work. USB audio devices are as separate sound cards - each device contains its own audio codec, even the small usb Jack. If a device usb audio does not work, it has nothing to do with the hardware, driver or Realtek Manager.

    each response that I get from either Razer themselves or now these forums was condescending.

    Your two posts today have assumptions that make it difficult to formulate a convincing answer, but I I don't think I'm condescending. I try to avoid the annoyances that we see in so many forums. However, they are your feelings and you have a right to them.

    When I said to forget taking combo, I wasn't brushing off the problem, while recognizing that these mic combo jack issues are difficult, in large part because we can't use the native driver to test the Realtek driver, so we can't easily determine if it is a driver or a hardware problem. It is much simpler to use usb audio, but as I said I don't know what are the special features are required for your purposes of pod casting.

  • Audio laptop XPS 14 stopped working (perhaps due to Windows updates?)

    I have a laptop XPS 14, I bought one a few months ago (June 2013).  It is currently running Windows 7 Home Premium.  Last Tuesday (8/13), I installed the latest round of Windows updates. Restarted my computer after installation. Everything seemed fine. However, the next day when I then booted up my machine, there was no noise. The sound icon in the system tray, but had a red 'X' and if I tried to open the sound controls, there was no option to do anything, just "no audio device is installed."

    Thinking that there was some conflict or problem with one of the updates, I did a system restore to before the updates were installed. When my computer started after restoring, my sound is back. I then tried to reinstall updates, a little at a time, restarting after each installation.  After each installation and reboot, I still had sound. Then I shut down my computer. However, the next time I booted up, the noise was gone again.

    At this point, I downloaded the driver (RealTek audio) sound of the website of Dell and reinstalled my audio driver. After the reinstallation, my sound worked again... UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I BOOTED MY MACHINE OFF IT.

    Then... Reinstall the driver solves the problem, but only temporarily and at the next start upward, the pilot seems to be missing/no reused (it seems that maybe Windows using / trying to use the Intel driver instead, but this driver is for my HDMI port).  I also note that this first time I booted up (the day after you initially install Windows updates), I also had a dialog box saying that the Dell Quickset program (which I believe is the "Dell Audio" controller) does not start/run correctly (and, if I remember correctly, was running in compatibility mode?).

    Someone at - it else seen/heard of / has encountered this problem?  I contacted Dell with cat, and the technician told me that my driver reinstall should solve the problem (although I already told him that I had done this and what he * didn't * fixed). The only other suggestions I got Dell were 1) to navigate to the Microsoft page to diagnose problems of audio playback (which is not a bad thing) and 2) to create a new user account (which seems unlikely to help, since the problem occurred before I even log in as user).

    If the new motherboard arrived and when the technician open my machine right away, he saw a problem with the former - a piece of restraint was partially broken, apparently to create a connection wrong tightened with a cable that was part of the sound.  After replacing the MB we had some beep code problems (memory needed to be reinstalled, battery CMOS should be taken out and put back in), but since this has been settled, everything seems to work. : I cross my fingers that no other issues arise:

  • IPod classic 5th generation has no audio headphones.

    IPod classic 5th generation has no audio headphones, but it can play songs via computer, when connected to the computer. IPod recognizes when earphones are plugged and hold when deployed switch. Is the likely problem the headphone jack or a material issue of motherboard. I could try a correction to the earphone Jack, but a motherboard problem is a totally different animal. Would appreciate some advice from someone who had had the same problem and solved the problem.

    I guess you've proven the headset with another device. Y at - it no suspicion of audio if you push the plug in one way or another? Who could confirm that it is just the plug that is damaged rather than anything else. The taken switch headphone jack Assembly is relatively cheap. I've done several outings permutation of these two classic battery of 5th and 6th gen. The hardest part is the case open but there are guides online that explain the steps.

  • Problems with audio/video streaming with USB devices on zero clients

    Hello:
    We are using view 6.1.1 in our environment and problems getting audio/video streaming to work well with the USB headsets, with zero customers.  Helmets are Jabra Link 360 and customers zero Samsung NC241.  Helmets are used as well for the phones to Jabber and also as audio device by default.   We started with the audio driver Teradici and everything seemed to work well, except that users could not answer calls on the headset itself with the button on the headset.  They were able to answer the calls of Windows though and the part worked fine.  In order to get the physical button to work, we had to first fill the USB receiver they use on the zero clients so that Windows will see as the device Jabra 360 and not the audio device Teradici.  Then we had the EHCI USB mode on them as well, and after that he started to work very well.  However, the helmets also serve as the audio device main as well as the communication (phone) device, with audio streaming continuously throughout the day.  With the current configuration, audio streaming will cut in and out during the day, and audio/video is not always to stay in either phase.

    I also applied the registry in this KB hack, VMware KB: improvement in audio quality when you use speakers or USB headsets with a desktop VMware view Horizon 5.2 , which helped clear up Crackle that we originally with the part phone headsets.  But there is still the issue of streaming audio.

    I wonder if the effectiveness of the bridging USB is not as effective and also is there a way to make this work better?  I read that the use of the pilot Teradici is supposed to help with audio/video problems, but do not know how that can be applied to USB devices as we use.  I've been reading upward on Teradici audio/video settings, but do not know where to go from there.  I was hoping that there are some best practices to use USB headsets with a view, but so far I'm not finding anything useful.

    For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

    We were finally getting help by the people of Cisco after validation in the here and even open a support ticket with VMware, which was open for more than a month without will.  Where others try to implement similar, here are our findings:

    • Zero clients combine traffic USB and PCoIP.  It is not good when there is a lot of audio/video/USB traffic, especially the USB headsets that also carry audio softphone.  In our case, the USB traffic was so dense that it was causing audio and video become troubled and freeze and eventually cause the pcoip_server service to break in the virtual machine itself and cause the client disconnect.  The fix?  Don't use customers zero with USB phones software, they are not just designed for this type of solution.
    • Thin clients are much better designed for USB softphones.  In our case, we used the Cisco VXME client, which is the method of support for the use of Windows thin clients with the client of the Horizon.  There is integration between the two products that isolates the VOIP traffic out of the virtual machine and keeps it local on the client itself.  Regular audio and video traffic still go through the virtual machine using Teradici or VMware RTAV driver.

    Hope this helps others who may run this question.  One thing we did not try was a wired headset using the AV sockets on the zero client and Teradici audio driver.  This can work, but our needs here were the headphones must be bluetooth, so we were forced to stick with USB.

  • Problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: clean the print heads each time it is turned on

    Hello everyone,

    the printer HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a - product n. CB022A) clean the print heads whenever I turn it on. This problem affects any HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer, it is not a problem only of this one I bought. It is a boring bug and annoying because each power clean print heads on involves two bad disadvantages:

    1. waste of ink (each heads cleaning process consumes little ink);
    2. too much time (2-3 minutes) to prepare the printer after plugging.

    I upgraded my printer with the latest firmware available on the HP site (firmware ver. DLM1FN1006BR), but the bug is still present.

    At this point, I ask:

    1. There is a way (or procedure) to disable automatic cleaning this useless to all power on?
    2. Can we communicate with the HP engineers or tell me how to contact directly one of them to indicate the bug and request a new firmware updated?

    Please don't tell me to leave the printer on all the time or that the printheads to each cleaning power is normal behavior! Where then are power and ink savings claimed for this printer model?

    I hope that a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance to everyone will help me!

    Maintenance when the printer is turned on is normal and is required to keep the printheads in good health (not blocked). See here for more information.

    With respect to energy savings, the printer automatically goes to low power mode when the don't feel not for awhile.  It is not necessary turn the unit on to save energy.

  • Problem of entry headphones

    It's the Xperia Z3 + that I've owned for 4 months.

    When the headset is plugged in the sound will play through them but if the headphone is moved or rotated when in the phone then the sound stops playing on the helmet and plays on the speakers of phones. It's deffinitely not a problem with the headphones when they work on other devices. What is the result of rain water affecting the connection? What is covered by the warranty?

    Any advice?

    Fine.

  • Problem with audio video

    Hello

    Recently, I downloaded the trial version of Adobe first Pro CC.

    After recording a video with a friend I put it in the first to notice that the audio was falling behind the video. Lets say there is an explosion. You would see the explosion and then to 0. 5 seconds later you'd hear it. At the beginning of the video, it is not noticeable. But as the video goes on it is still worse and worse. This happened since I used it. My friend helped me with setting but it didn't help. When I recorded a 2 and a half minute video, that the audio would be nice, as soon as I record a video of 10-30 m audio falls behind. My friend suspected it could be the transmission speed of the audio. I changed my microphone, headphones and the setting sequence in the first 16-bit 480000Hz, that didn't fix it. When I discovered the original video in windows media player, it is fine. The video is recorded at 1080 p 60 fps.

    Don't forget I use that first for a week or so and only know the basics. My friend has it on his mac book and has not had any problems with it.
