Problem of choppy / skipping audio Dell Inspiron 1720

Hello

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!

Thank you!

  • Disable TouchPad on Dell Inspiron 1720 - Vista Home Premium

This has happened before, when I had first PC, and I've sorted it by disabling the touchpad. However, I have re installed the OS, etc, and everything must be reset to zero.

  • Problem with my Audio (DELL Inspiron 15 3521)

    Respected by all, I buy all new Dell Inspiron 15 3521 laptop 2 months ago. It was working great. A few days ago, the "Windows updates installed". and then I am facing problem in my Audio. When I start my laptop, within 5 minutes the sound stop working without giving me any message. When I disable Audio and activate again "Device Manager", he began to work, and then it works until the computer is turned off again. When I shut down my laptop and restart. the same problem occurs. 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.

  • Problem with drivers WLan on Dell Inspiron N5010

    I recently bought Dell Inspiron N5010 laptop, however, there seems to be a small problem: impossible to get WLan drivers installed.

    I use Windows 7 (x 64 Edition). On the Device Manager under "Other devices" there is an unknown 'network controller '.

    Tried to install the drivers for Dell drivers & downloads section (Yes, I used my serial number), but there was a problem with the following:

    -R252544 for Dell Wireless WLAN 1520 half minicards. Result: "no compatible hardware found. The software you are trying to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed. "Half Mini Card

    -R247430 for link Intel (R) Intel WiMAX 6250. Result: "this software package cannot be installed on your system."

    -R252283 for Intel Intel(r) WiFi Link 6200 "no compatible hardware detected. The software you are trying to install is not supported on this system. The software will not be installed. »

    All these messages to appear just after you run the Setup program. Other drivers have been installed successfully and in good order.

    I assume you have three possibilities: -.

    (1) you can visit http://supportapj.dell.com/support/downloads/index.aspx?c=in&l=en&s=gen and make the right choices...

    or

    (2) visit the support section of the material suppliers Web site (it's Broadcom Corp.)

    or, if even this does not solve your problem;

    (3) install software like Driver Genius Pro... that would solve all hardwre driver problems related with certainty at 100%.

    Hope I helped solve your problem...

  • Problems of internet connectivity with Dell Inspiron 7520 (1703 of Dell Wireless 802.11b/g/n 2.4 ghz)

    Hello

    I bought a Dell Inspiron 7520 for a week now, and I had a strange problem with internet connectivity since then. First, wifi takes a lot of time to connect. After, I'm online, every 10 minutes my network access stops working completely. But if I click on the network icon in the toolbar, it starts working again, but it stops in the next 10 minutes, once again, and so on. If I try to fix connectivity problems, he always find and solve some in the network card or wireless, but then point again, after 10 minutes, or so, it happens again.

    My network card is a Wireless Dell 1703 802.11b/g/n 2.4 ghz and I tried to update and to re - download the firmware, but nothing seems to fix.

    What should I do to fix this?

    Hello friends. Recently I came across the same problem identified by many with a Dell Inspiron 15R laptop 7520 with the Dell Wireless 1703 (Atheros chipset). After losing an entire afternoon and looking at forums and their complaints, I think that I found the solution to the problem (at least, here is running).

    The laptop is connected to a router TP-Link TL-WR740N. The router is configured to run with a frequency of 20 or 40 MHz, making the switch automatically in the factory. The mobile card wireless driver is configured to work only with 20 MHz at the factory. But can be configured to work with two frequencies is adapted automatically. To do this, change the configuration (in Windows 7):

    Start > Control Panel > Device Manager > network adapters > Dell Wireless 1703 802.11b/g/n (2,4 GHz) > click the Advanced tab > select 802.11n bandwidth. Change the value of Auto 20 MHz / 40 MHz.

    Press OK and wait for to reconnect you.

    I hope this helps.

  • Dell Inspiron Touchpad does not turn off

    I've been through everything, and it seems that there is no real help available for this problem.  I bought a Dell Inspiron 5050 in August 2012.  Updated November 7 to Windows 8 and I hated typing since (which is unfortunate, because I'm a student who wrote many papers) because since the installation of Windows 8, the toggle switch that disables the touchpad no longer works.  Not only that, but even without touching the keyboard, the cursor jumps around and I find myself correcting the text at least 1 to 2 times per line (Yes, by writing this, I already had to solve four, making five, errors).

    I spent more than 2.5 hours on the line then a tech controlled my computer remotely (I got another problem solved) and he could not understand either.  There IS NO option to disable the touchpad in the Control Panel, or change the settings for sensitivity.  I tried to uninstall the driver, and it did not work.  Currently, I have a big piece of cardboard glued on the touchpad, and which has not helped at all.  I HATE Windows 8 because of this whole fiasco (and I tell everyone I know about the many problems I've had so far).

    Maybe this isn't even the problem of Microsoft, but the answers tech with insulting tones kindergarden instructions don't WORK, then please do not give me one.  If you can't tell, I'm more annoyed and I wish that I had NEVER been updated to Windows 8!

    If someone gives me a USEFUL answer, I'd be happy and stop to say Facebook, Twitter and everyone I know face-to-face how I HATE Windows 8!

    Thank you!

    Search the Trackpad in the start screen and open the settings tab.  Then open the settings file.  Make sure the tapping is checked.  Click it and then click on the gear at the end of the line (you must pass your cursor over the line of tapping to get the equipment).  Make sure the Double tap to toggle the TouchPad is checked.  Click to close this window and OK on the first window.  See if the double tap works now.

  • 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.
