Problems with Dell XPS 435 sound

Hello:

I have a DELL XPS Studio desktop purchased in 2009 with Vista 64-bit OS. Until 3 days ago, the speakers on my computer worked. These are the original speakers that came with my BOSE Companion 2 multimedia pregnant computer. Initially, the sound was 100%, now it is suddenly down to 40%. I upgraded the speakers Bose one another and I will always have the same problem, my sound quality is reduced from 100 to 40%.

I checked all sound card drivers and they are up-to-date, I also checked the sound Manager file, and it is also in order. I also did a "sound test" and I can hear the sound on the left & right speakers, the problem is that when I tried to listen to music or listen to video online I hear a very low noise coming out of two speakers, almost like a whisper.

Can someone give me some tips fix - it.

Hi Nathalie:

Thanks for your recommendation, I installed several audio drivers which have been recommended on the Dell Diagnostics page, but this has not resolved my problem of sound.  I think I probably need a new sound, in addition to the other parties. My computer is going on 4 years, his begins to fall apart, that I recently bought a replacement.

  • Screen color problems with Dell XPS 15 on battery!

    1 week bought a new Dell XPS 15 laptop, rear.

    Config: Intel Core i5, Nvidia GeForece GT 540 M (Optimus) with Intel HD graphics embedded, 8 GB of RAM

    The problem is that the color of the screen looks unreal, the color of the icons fade and look like whitish and 256 bits and faded color mode.

    The main point is that the problem only occurs when the system is running on battery. Is the problem with the Optimus technology?

    I have the latest drivers, it would be my course of action now?

  • Intel Centrino Advanced - N 6235 problems with Dell XPS 12 (Windows Pro 8, "disconnect / media disconnected")

    I recently bought a 12 XPS with windows 8 x 64 preinstalled. I was not able to maintain a stable connection to my WLAN. However, 7 other devices (laptops, etc.) are all connected without problem. Only the troubled computer runs W8. I have the latest drivers for the Centrino chipset and the ProSet (and everything else) download from Dell on March 14. Sometimes it connect, but after a few minutes it disconnects again. Sometimes I media disconnected and other times a limited connection where the DHCP Server data could not be collected. Seems very irrational!

    The configuration is default Dell. Any ideas?

    I downloaded the latest drivers from Intel and a clean installed (actually it didn't work after 3 installs!) I also changed the channel on the router to 11. Now, it seems to work. I suspect that the problem is caused by the driver in W8, but never less the drivers provided by Dell did not

  • Problems with my XPS 1530, think it's the hard drive

    I recently had some problems with my xps 1530. The screen freezes quite often. Okey it no worries, I'm really used to it since my last pc was 5 or 6 years ago when I bought a new, but it does not seem to recover after this freez. I have no way to turn it off except by pressing the power butten for several seconds. I'm no expert, but I don't think it's good for the hard drive. And seriously, I'm tired of doing too many times. In any case, I decided to run a disk check, although it usually runs after reboot in this way. When he starts checkup automatically after a reboot, like that, there are only 3 steps. But I had planned a checkup in the my computer section, right click on the c:

    Step 1-3 runs smoothly, step 4 takes a little while, but it comes through. Step 5 stops at 98%. I even tried twice, twice stopped at almost at the same place.

    I don't really know how I could have damaged the drive somehow, the laptop is on my desk since I bought it and I got it late July: s

  • problems with dell inspiron 15 3521: bios, graphics driver, drive Max

    OK first let me start off with audio I bought this laptop earlier this month and I noticed after a week tht one of the speakers has not been done no sound so I looked and most of the people, said her probably a driver or a balance so I checked all kinds of sounds tested left balance speaker mute or not mute (only the left speaker works) I uninstalled the drivers (realtek) tried it out with the Trusted (sarcasm) windows 8 drivers only its tht came was left aside I also checked with him the dell windows Diagnostics both before windows he showed tht, everything was perfect and diagnostics bios dell had a sound check, so I tried it and only had sound in the left (so im guessing this is not not a windows problem). So if I miss sumthing here pls enlighten me as I have not installed sound mods vlc or wutever so I don't skip infact I don't think I've ever done my volume sound goto 100.

    Second problem is the bloody grahics driver first time I opened my laptop, he told me to check my graphics driver and started acting out (my screen was blurry) so I tried to install the latest driver that didn't help so I returned the laptop and got a new... same problem after I found theres a specific driver that he recommended that works. Now if any of you are assuming that oh so what just cuz the graphics driver is not up to this day he should at least perform normally not act as sumthings broken or overheated... .well not it not anyho is the problem always sumtimes asks me to check my catalyst (he does not do anything when I click it) but that's all it works fine another tht can and I'm not sure if this is related to the graphics or disc bt sumtimes it turns off automatically and selects on some im do (especially on firefox) also tht problem was on my first computer laptop bt it was very common
    This brings us the third disk problem... the system is great other then all of these problem bt sumtimes I noticed it starts hanging in the boot and the reason behind it is I noticed that on my task manager, the disk will 100% use mainly cuz of system and antivirus loaded thereon im bt guessin' meadow is a windows problem 8 I don't really know

    OH and I almost forgot the Yes of the bios when I had my second laptop as the third day, there was a mistake that I woke up that I had left my laptop on all night on a normal surface meaning, there is no heat or anything like that... it wasn't hot anyho has committed a random error sum which I restarted my pc came to the dell screen and then a black screen that he said media controls and then FAIL
    then he said control media FAIL and it starts normally and it does every day since tht then of course diagnostics and everything works fine, he said that everything is fine TELL me HOW to MAKE IT GO AWAY

    azk_1
    Yes, it was the front windows dell dignostics the f12 wen u GET u turn on the pc

    That might have been the PSA Diagnostics. Dell 32-bit audio Diagnostics play a piece of music, but the PSA tests just play system sounds. Anyway, you wrote "and the bios dell diagnostics had a sound check, then I tried and didn't sound in the left. If you did not hear audio in right during the diagnostics speaker then the speaker needs to be replaced.

    azk_1
    BT he nevr said that he self tht the speakers have a problem, he said everything was fine

    No matter what the tests said - it is important only if you can hear the sound of the set of tests. If you can't hear it there is a hardware problem.

    azk_1
    and what abt the error its also before starting windows... .black screen then it says media controls and then fail whats tht abt

  • Is anyone has problems with Dell support - called using micro

    Hello users of the Forum.

    My 2720 xps is not save anything when I use the microphone jack and little record (low volume) anything when I use the microphone. I also have questions about the use of large screen XPS2720 to extend my laptop screen using HDMI from laptop HDMI in the XPS. It does not either. Here is my support issues:

    1 has reached the customer. The person would put me on hold for each 2 questions simple and "research". His answers were vague, and then he said he would transfer me to Office work support as he has managed "inspiron" only! His transfer has failed and abandoned call.

    2. calls on the customer. Voice was smothered at the other end, when I mentioned, so the call dropped!

    3. calls on the customer. The person could not understand what I was trying to make (connect laptop XPS display and audio not sent / mic jack question), he tried to understand the question but kept in interpreting everything that I said mean that I was trying to extend the XPS specification to a monitor. I asked to speak to someone who knows the best product, he informed that he will put the prime contractor, and the abandoned call. Now I'm wondering if there is another meaning to call down when Dell is unable to answer.

    4 called again, the first person who I arrived before also picked up my call, when she heard what I was looking for the resolution, the call dropped.

    I don't know what is happening with Dell technical support. I would like to know if anyone else had experiences similar to my problems, especially when Dell support is unable to successfully respond to the question.  I really prefer to talk to actual dell support person in the United States (instead of people at offshore call center) to get answers to my questions. I tried to download the XPS manual and the link led me to a PDF doc, which indicates that it is the manual of the user, but everything, it's a manual to pay off the system - open lids, replace chipsets, back cover, display etc.. !! Frustrating :-)

    As Mary said, there are 2 ports HDMI on the XPS 2720. If you try to view the screen of the laptop on the XPS 2720, you must use HDMI-In port on the back of the specification XPS (#14 here).

    There are also press the input source selection button (#9) to select the input source. It may take a couple of presses until she "cycles" through all the choices and sees the laptop. So, wait a few seconds between the push to give him a chance to change the input source.

    And you should probably also go into Windows Display options on your laptop and make sure that it is set to use a second monitor...

  • Problems with Dell USB - C (DA200) to the HDMI, VGA, RJ45, USB3 adapter

    Hi all

    I guess I'm a little desperate at 01:45 haha...

    I just got my XPS 13 9350 and it's great. I bought the USB - C DA200 adpater USB3, RJ45, VGA, HDMI. Unfortunately, I have some difficulty with the device. They are listed below:

    (1) plug, computer does not recognize the device. If I right click and uninstall in Device Manager and do a scan 'new material', it works again - but not for long.

    (2) the device and the Realtek gigabit portion to connect and reconnect every second in Device Manager and it's annoying.

    (3) disabling the wireless card/connection really seems to help the unit to connect and it works 100%. ONLY when the wireless adapter is disconnected.

    Basically, windows is to have a real time hard keep this adapter plugged... almost as if he can't recognize it. I tried to install the drivers for the card - nothing. I've updated all the firmware from Dell crush (including the chipset) and the BIOS... nothing. Same thing. If you do a search on google, there are a few discussions on this problem. There is a nice size on Reddit.

    Someone has an idea, what happens? It's a real shame that a beautifully designed and expensive adapter does not work with a Dell computer.

    Thank you, AJ

    In another thread ("XPS 13 9350 - SSD USB C 3.1 - very unstable/not usable '-I can not add links), the following fixed my XPS 13 9550 problem using a drive HARD USB 3.0 with the Dell USB - C for HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB3.1 adapter:

    ... the adapter USB - C and WiFi are kind of material and power wise. If you go to the options of the advance of the WiFi adapter and change the WiFi output at 75%, this solves a lot of problems with the connection / disconnection of USB - C questions. Exit at 75% reduction does not affect your connection on wireless networks.

    My HARD drive kept connect/disconnect when you use the adapter, but this correction took care of her.

  • BIG PROBLEM with Dell Laptop keyboard - CONTROL seems to be stuck

    The CTRL (left) seems to be stuck in a way. Not like in the operating system that you are stuck where you cannot open stuff but physically. It works and everything, but when I press on the edge of the lower left there feeling like it won't go down any further. Now here's the thing
    I had the EXACT

    Same problem with my ALT key on the top right corner, after hours and hours of press here and find good... The point 'G' {in this term well say it means good} button, who fixed it, but now I have it again with the CTRL key

    and when you tilt your head to the level of keyboards and press gently on the left-hand side of the CTRL key, you will see the L. R left side down and the right side is not, but if I do it with another key to sound normal, balanced sound, pressing on anywhere will descend the whole key.

    Sorry to be paranoid, but it drives me crazy, I don't want to send it in for repair, I tried to drag the undernath paper, there is no food or anything there, I never eat near my laptop - and I tried to suck with vacuum on LOW Power and a sliding brush. Nothing came out. Don't know what to do.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    It won't go down, he's going like halfway and feels more difficult to drive, and I don't want to break it.

  • 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.

  • Power supply problem with Dell Inspiron One 2310

    Hello

    I have a problem with my computer Dell 2310, as far as I can see that the power supply burned out or something similar. Blue bright lighting supply cable indicates that power delivery is correct, but the power light on the power button does not respond.

    I suspect that the power supply is blown and needs to be replaced, I hope that a replacement is available on the list of spare parts and hits on how to properly check if my preliminary diagnosis is correct. I see no reason to suspect problems with the other componentts such as motherboard, memory, disk HARD etc.

    Grateful for advice on how to check my diagnose some material.

    I never had a problem with the DSS80 until recently. If I try to adjust the volume, it it cranks up to 100, and if I cut it 'restores the sound"itself.
