Reference Dell E6540 does not capture sound thanks to the headset

I have a Turtle Beach Ear Force 50 Recon I bought recently.

I have connected to my computer (an E6540) with the microphone and plugged everything.

However, as far as I can tell, it's continuing to capture sound through the laptop itself. This somewhat defeated the purpose the purchase of a headset with a microphone, so if you have ideas, please let me know. And if you need more information, just ask.

Sorry for the delay. Sounds like a driver problem, so what I would do is to try all the drivers available and see if any of them solves the problem. I would like to start by completely removing the existing driver from Realtek.

Open Device Manager and expand the sound controllers section. Right click on the Realtek, and select uninstall. Put a checkmark in the option to delete files, click ok. When you restart, Windows either will install its own native driver or a Realtek driver if there was other versions on the hard drive. Then go back to Device Manager and look for a Realtek driver. Keep the uninstall & reboot until Realtek no longer appears under controllers, noise and "High definition Audio Device" appears in its place.

Then I would try all the Realtek drivers that are available for the E6540 w/Win7, in order of oldest to newest. I hope that all of these links work - this forum has a difficult time to manage the links sometimes.

I would do it in this order because you should be able to install a newer driver on a former without first having to remove the old.

You can also try directly a Realtek driver:

1. go to the Realtek download selection page. http://www.Realtek.com.tw/downloads/
2. on the page, click on 'High Definition Audio Codecs.
3. check "I accept", then "next".
4. (optional) in the column named "Description" find the file named README and download it. Who has the instructions for the installation or update.
5. in the column named "Description" select your operating system and if it is 32-bit or 64-bit of 2 choices in the list.
6. in the column named "Download", click one of the server names to download the driver.

  • Dell Inspiron does not go in GRUB after the stop of Kubuntu

    I bought a new Dell Inspiron 15 3000 (Ubuntu) laptop and installed Kubuntu 15.10. No dual-boot. Kubuntu only.

    Everything seems to work... with one exception: after closing down (or restarting) of KDE/Kubuntu, laptop computer does not successfully start only once.

    When I shut down the system, everything seems ok. Then when you press the power button, I see the Dell logo for a short period of time (as a kind of progress downstairs bar) as usual. Then the screen flashes in different shades of black, nothing more. No GRUB menu. In this pressing situation ++ restart the laptop and GRUB is reached and everything works fine. Following restarts (without having to boot into Kubuntu) works also without problem. However as soon as I have boot into Kubuntu and start/stop from there to the next single boot of the laptop will fail.

    Any idea what the problem might be?

  • Reference Dell V313w does not print

    First of all I apologize if it is redundant. I spent countless hours scouring the web for answers and have not found anything to solve my problem. I looked in the forums as best as I can, but nothing helped. I'm having a problem with a Dell V313w while one that seems common, and yet I've seen no concrete answers for this problem. Basically what is happening, is that the printer seems not to get the message that there is a print job. It will print say once and then when I go to print another document he'll sometimes sounds like its going to print but only it noting. The document stuck in queue, and I have to restart the computer to clean. I did all the recommended steps, stop and start the coil manually, run the command to stop and re started the coil. I deleted all the anti virus, deleted and reinstalled the printer as a device and have updated the firmware from dell. Nothing seems to work. The copy function works fine so I know not peripheral t it will be printed. It is the communication of the computer to the printer. I have enabled all ports USB to continue to supply electricity and the problem occurs without the PC goes into hibernation mode. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 570 running on Windows 7 64 bit with an AMD Athlon II processor. Any help would be appreciated until I throw this printer into the wall. Thank you, Eric

    Hello

    I have exactly the same problem with my Dell v313w and Dell XPS 64-bit win7 computer.

    Has anyone confirmed that the removal of the Explorer 11 is the solution to this problem?

    My sister yesterday failed to get a boarding pass printed. She got the first page printed and then stumbled on this issue. It has restarted the computer, and then on printing the page, it would not print black ink even if there is black ink.

    I have been using printers in my life and this model printer, quite frankly, is the worst model I had the misfortune to have had. I had like an hour with my laptop and intend to throw if I can't get this problem to be solved permanently.

    Thanks in advance

  • Reference Dell OMSA - does not work after the installation of KB3161608

    I recently installed the last batch (June 2016) the MS updates on our servers.  It went well with the exception of two servers, both running Server 2008R2 and a PE2970, a PE2950.  These are our only two servers running server 2008R2.  On both machines, after installing all the updates, I was unable to open OMSA.  The browser will display "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  OMSA continued to work properly on the rest of our servers, which are almost server 2008.

    I tried another browser, but that has not worked.  OMSA reached 7.3, so I downloaded and installed 7.4.0 and the 7.4.0.2 updated.  I found references to similar online, and some of the install OMSA fixes problems using the prompt, or "runas admin".  I installed them all over the place, but no matter how I installed it, I got the same result!

    I've not found errors in the event logs of the server.

    So I started uninstalling updates until I found the one who broke it, and it was KB3161608.  Uninstall this update fixed OMSA on both servers.

    This updates is listed as optional, so I'm not sweating it for now.  I believe that this is a certificate problem and could be fixed by creating a new self-signed server certificate, but this isn't really my area of expertise.  But I wanted to put this out there in case it might help someone else.

    In my tests, you should communicate the updates installed then OMSA will not work.

  • Reference Dell R710 does not start after power failure

    Hello, I tried to find answers on the forum but nothing so far

    I have this R710 at home that I use as a media server, it was working fine before a power outage the other night (no I don't have a UPS :-(

    When the power returned, I noticed one of lighting power supply has been turned off, so I took it out of the unit, but the unit still won't turn.

    I still have a so-called good food because the small green LED on the motherboard lights, and I can access the iDRAC, this feature, I didn't before the net Searchin' for answers, I'm kind of a novice with the servers.

    When I access the iDRAC, on the power supply page, I see nothing, no power supply listed.

    Is it possible that a diet might be "half bad", enough to work the emergency circuits but not the power outlet?

    Symptoms:

    Camera lights.

    Can access the functions of the Idrac, but doesn't do anything if I try to activate it via the tasks "quick launch".

    Power supplies are not visible on the pages of the Idrac.

    Display before work.

    Server was very well just before a power failure which took one of the PSU

    The remaining 870 PSU has the green light on, and the fan works for 2 seconds every time I cut the power it.

    Thanks for any help.

    OK, well... no answers.

    I found a place locally that sold a diet so I arrived with my server, I told them I would buy the power supply that I confirm that the fault was in fact the power supply.

    Well, you know, the unit started correctly with the new power supply, now in IDRAC, I see both power supplies but on that faulty, he reads "present, entry lost.

    So the answer is YES, a power supply may be defective, even if the green light is on.

  • Inspiron 5749: BIOS update fails with the error 'Dell id does not match ".

    Hello

    I'm trying to update the BIOS of the Laptop Inspiron 5749. I downloaded the update file 3443A 07. EXE from Dell support website, where the update is supposed to be compatible with my system:

    -Dell Inspiron 3443/3543/5749 system BIOS;

    -Version A07.

    -Pull out the date 18 November 2015.

    I tried to install the update by using the utility to update the BIOS available in the start menu (after pressing F12). The update failed with the error message "Dell id does not match" or similar.

    Running the update of the session Windows don't seem to have any effect either.

    It seems that the update is only compatible with Inspiron 3443.

    Where can I get the update of the correct BIOS for my laptop? Any help is appreciated.

    The problem has been resolved by a motherboard replacement. Thank you.

  • My Dell laptop does not start

    I have my older Dell laptop which stop the other day and I thought that the battery had just missed completely, plugged in left to load and when I got home it turns any. New laptop for my son has had this problem and tech support had me press and repeatly F key and I think that either press and hold the power button or press the key and let go? I wanted to try this with my laptop but can not remember what F key or the thing with the power button. Help please, hoping that he disappeared were ongoing work and family top photos.

    Thank you

    I suggest you follow the steps below, first to release any static power in the laptop which may cause this problem:

    1. remove the battery and the laptop AC adapter.
    2. press and hold the Power button for 20 seconds and release.
    3 reconnect the battery, AC adapter, and then press the power button.
    4. the laptop must turn if static is the cause.

    You can press the "Fn" key and the "Power" button to run the hardware diagnostics if the laptop does not power on after following the steps above.

    Please let me know your results.
