Subwoofer not working not not on Inspiron 7720

Hello Dell

Recently, the motherboard of my laptop was having problems, and I sent him home for replacements (I was in Nepal at the time, around a month ago).

Now, I have returned home, only to discover that the same if the laptop was good and running, there is no driver installed at all. The display was huge VGA-type and there is no sound as well. When I had to download the latest, I've decided to upgrade the operating system. I installed the Windows 8 Pro USB.

Everything was good until I noticed that the subwoofer is no longer working. There is no bass, and I hear nothing coming out, even after installing the audio drivers and Waves MaxxAudio apps. At the software level, everything works well and MaxxAudio / Dell IDT of the Panel doesn't show even any errors.

A friend told me that it might be hardware malfunction caused during the replacement procedure.

Please help me if I can fix it myself or do I need to support.

I got it fixed. Yes, it was a hardware problem. I opened the back panel and the subwoofer cable connector was loose. Maybe the technician forgot to put it back during reassembly of the laptop after it replaced the motherboard.

In any case thank you for the time you took to answer here.

    I just bought a set of 2.1 speakers (with 1 single output jack - green lemon) and plugged into the headphone jack. It works normally, ONLY the subwoofer is not. I tried to use the loudspeaker on my mp3 player and the subwoofer low works perfectly.

    Why my subwoofer does not work properly when connected to my laptop? Because of the sound card on laptop? Someone please help. Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Try this:
    -Go to the control panel and choose sound and audio devices
    -under the Volume tab, choose advanced options in the speaker settings
    -Properties advanced audio should be opened. There you can select the right speaker system.

  • Try to reinstall Windows 7 on an Inspiron 7720 - "OS not found" error

    Hello

    Then; I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 7720 with a reformatted hard drive and I need to reinstall windows 7. I do not have the original relocation provided with this exact laptop DVD but I don't have any Dell laptop to another (a Studio 1558) and another disc of Windows 7 from a desktop computer (drives and OS that was on the laptop before the failure of HARD drive are all Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit). When I turn on the laptop with a drive and hit F12 and then select ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' in the boot options screen displays "Operating system not found" immediately and remains on the screen until you restart.

    I perform a full diagnostic check and everything going on, I made sure the CD - RW drive is no. 1 in boot priority (not imagine that questions if I manually select it). The HARD drive and CD - RW drive are detectable in the BIOS too... I have no idea what the problem is, any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Many thanks in advance,

    Looks like the optical drive may be defective... You must try the new installation via the USB port. At this point, I would recommend arm SecureBoot and UEFI. Clean then install Windows 10 RS1:

  • Pre-seed evaluation error 2000-0332, Inspiron 7720

    I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 7720. A few days ago, I have a suggestion of a Dell program to update my BIOS, which I have allowed. Update didn't seem to bring up all additional windows or a progress bar to let me know how would the update, but I don't think too much of it and let the computer do its thing.

    In general I just leave my laptop on nonstop and put to sleep when not in use (I remember reading somewhere on the departure of the user of Windows 8 guide just let it sleep instead of turning it off). Yesterday, I went home for Thanksgiving so that my laptop was in mode 'sleep'. When I tried to turn on my laptop, I noticed that it was no longer in fashion 'sleep' and had put off instead. Not much, I thought, but when I turned it on, I got an error screen in the sense of

    PXE-# Media test failure, check cable of

    PXE-#: exit Intel PXE ROM

    I found myself at the start screen, which allowed me to run the diagnostics. I left running and came across 2000-0332 error code in the form of assessment of pre-boot, who told me that something was wrong with my memory of the video card (abnormality of the video memory integrity test). After a bit of research on this code, it may have something to do with my BIOS and I should try for the flash. However, I wasn't able to do it through USB (I get the error "invalid or damaged bootable partition" when I leave the USB key in start) nor the CD (does not seem to the .exe on the CD is detected).

    I tried to get to the BIOS screen by pressing F2 at Dell logo but I always end up on the same screen which lists me my legacy startup options (I don't get the screens of typical BIOS that allows me to change my default settings, boot order, etc.). The choices listed are removable disk, CD/DVD/CD-RW drive, second disk and network. By pressing F12 does the same thing. I noticed that the hard drive is not listed so I though that maybe something was wrong with my HD, but the evaluation shows that it works very well.

    I'm really in ideas on what to do. If worst comes to worst, I can try to exchange it for another since I'm still in the trading period, but I prefer to keep my laptop current and its information.

    Hi Andresmou,

    I'm sorry for the experience. As the error is related to the video memory, I suggest to install (flash) the latest BIOS and run diagnostic tests. You can download the latest version of the BIOS from the following link by drilling in the Service tag and click on the "Drivers & downloads" tab:
    http://Dell.to/117d6Zu

    Please let me know the results of the test.

  • (Inspiron 7720) Cannot be started on the installation of Windows 8 media in UEFI

    Hello

    I just got a Dell's Inspiron 7720 (computers laptops 17 ") running on Windows 8. As usual, I want to reinstall Windows 8 myself to ensure that I have a clean install (and to be sure, I'll be able to do if I change my HARD drive). I want to do in UEFI mode and not in Legacy mode.

    • I tried to boot on Dell Windows 8 DVD (requested by phone, IE 8 64-bit Windows) by pressing F12 at startup: the only options are "Windows Boot Manager" and "Network Boot. No way to boot to DVD, Windows starts automatically.

    I went in the "Bios" by pressing F2 at startup (Startup tab):

    • I tried to disable "Secure Boot": no result, kept this option disabled.
    • I activated the Option Rom legacy: a new menu "Legacy Boot: ' allows me to start on the drive of DVD, but housing starts of start-up Mode Legacy, which is not allow me to install Windows 8: the installer says my partition table is GPT, so I can't select any partition on my discs to install the OS.
    • I tried to add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive': is in the list of system files "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD" or 2 entries like "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /HD'." ""» I tried all. I left the "File name" line empty. No results: the CD begins to spin at the start and then the operating system starts 2 seconds later. I tried repeatedly pressing "Enter" immediately after the choice of my new boot entry in F12 menu, same results.
    • I tried everything above with the operating system on a USB stick (formatted to Fat32 using this http://www.servethehome.com/uefi-bootable-usb-drive-windows-8-windows-server-2012/), no result. The light on the USB is indicating activity for 2 seconds, then turns off when Windows starts.
    • I tried to start my DVD and my USB on a new Inspiron 660 (office): a line is automatically added in the F12 boot menu and I can start on the DVD or USB in UEFI mode (and I can reinstall Windows), so my devices seem not to be the problem.
    I spent two hours on the phone with a Dell technician, and he was not able to solve my problem.
    It seems to me that Dell has not even attempted to check whether their own DVD of Installation OS works on their computer
    I think I need to write something in the "File name" box when you add a new Boot Option. But why? I forgot something?
    Thank you in advance for the time you spent reading this.

    OK I solved the problem. It's very simple, but obviously the bios needs an update: the one-time boot menu (the one launched by pressing F12 at startup) does not work in the UEFI.

    So, how to start on the DVD in UEFI mode:

    • Insert the DVD into the drive
    • Start your computer by pressing F2 to enter the Bios
    • Go to the Startup tab
    • Add a boot option with the name of the Boot Option as ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' and check that the 'CD' in the end enabled, as "PciRoot (0x0) / Pci (0x1F, 0 x 2) /Sata (0x3, 0x0, 0x0) /CD'." Let the empty file name entry.
    • Put the new entry before 'Starting Windows Management' in the UEFI Boot section.
    • Save and restart.
    • When asked, press a key to boot from the DVD. DO NOT USE one-time F12 BOOT MENU: by SELECTING ' CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive' will NOT WORK.
    When Windows is reinstalled correctly, just change the new boot order or delete the boot entry you created before. Never use the single start menu unless you want to start in Legacy mode (it works).
    I can't believe I lost so much time on this... I hope this will help.
  • Inspiron 7720 SE 17 ": how to connect two external monitor?

    Is possible to connect this laptop external monitor 7720 to two (don't mind if computer screen is disabled or duplicate).

    I have two samsung 21 '' monitor (HD).

    If so, how?

    Hi, I would like to participate.

    I wonder if one of you can confirm that it is impossible to use this inspiron 7720 in a configuration triple monitor (no duplication but only stretching from the screen)? I wonder because it is usually possible with maps of optimus and win7/8 but not this time - could only manage to run 2 of the three.

    And to answer riscy00: Why use a splitter? Simply use HDMI and vga, and turn off the screen of the laptop. I did it today.

  • HP subwoofer Pulse works in the Panel, but not in WMP/iTunes, etc..

    I have a 23 envy Touchsmart and bought a HP Subwoofer's Pulse for her. It worked fine for a few months, then one day she just stopped to turn off sound when I play music from iTunes or Windows Media Player.

    However, when I go to sound in the control panel and select speakers/headphones on the Read tab, and then click on configure, the subwoofer works fine when I click on it in the speaker setup screen.

    It doesn't look like a driver problem, because I do not think that I would hear nothing on the speaker setup if that were the case. Is not a problem app because it occurs with iTunes and WMP and in any case I don'tsee any options in each app to choose between stereo and 5.1 sound (I don't have surround speakers, just stereo speakers and subwoofer). Someone has ideas how to get the sub works again?

    Thank you, but I think I found the problem in the form of balance buried in Control Panel > sounds such as described above. The subwoofer level slider has no effect, but is surround sound speaker - it's somehow controlling the sub! Which is strange because the speaker configuration is configured in the control panel for the L and R and sub - L and R speakers surrounds and center speaker are deselected. It is also strange because I've never touched Balance on the front screen, and the sub was working fine for a good 2-3 months before the problem arose.

  • Bluetooth not working not not for Inspiron 15 3521

    Bluetooth doesn't work is not on my new Inspiron 15 3521. Setting up the system - Windows 7 64 bit.

    I put driver from Dell support, but always the same problem. He goes in search mode and nothing else. Cannot detect the laptop bluetooth (phone) device. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    I have the same device too, i.e. inspiron 15 3521. 8.1 Windows 64-bit.

    The bluetooth stopped working after Windows Update and update the drivers were not useful. It gave the error: activate Bluetooth using the wireless switch. For a year or two, I forgot that Bluetooth still existed in my camera. I look at the pathetic for Dell personal here, answers in this forum, was not intended.

    If so many people are facing this problem. I guess that only 10% of them posted in this forum. Dell has not taken this issue seriously.

    Well, now that I have found the SOLUTION. Bluetooth now works like a charm.

    PROCESS:

    1. check the version of the hardware (1703 or 1704 or 1705) bluetooth on your device. Two ways to check:

    a. press "ctrl + x". "In the menu that is displayed, select Device Manager. Click on "Bluetooth." The is drop-down menu. Bluetooth hardware name now. For example, "Bluetooth of Dell Wireless 1705. "Now you know the bluetooth is ' 1705.

    b. visit the Dell Technical Support Web site. Enter your "Service tag". Select "system configuration". Select "Components" drop-down menu. Search for bluetooth. Note the version of the bluetooth hardware. (Note: press 'ctrl + f' you don't find anything on the Web page.)

    2 visit the support technology guide.

    3. Enter "service tag", or select your laptop model.

    4. go in "drivers and downloads".

    5. Select 'Network' Drop-down.

    6. what you need is "without wireless and bluetooth driver". There are two drivers available for this purpose. Since you know your Bluetooth hardware Version (1703 / 1704 / 1705), select the selection. (Note: those who have a (bluetooth 1704 there are two pilots available, if one does not try another.) To do this, click on "other Versions" dropdown, under the head "Dell Wireless 1704 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver.

    7 download the appropriate driver.

    8. install.

    9 make peace.

  • volume control stuck on screen - not work - not adjustable, Inspiron 13 7000 series 2-in-1

    I have just bought a new laptop Inspiron 13 7000 series 2-1. It comes with Windows 8.1. It happened (don't know why) that the volume control is frozen on the screen at the top left with the volume level of 0% so I can not adjust the volume of all on both the keyboard and the touchscreen.

    What I've tried is less than

    -In the Control Panel, sounds, communications: when Windows detects communications activity

    Select "do nothing".

    -uninstalled the audio driver and leave it is reinstalled automatically after reboot

    -uninstalled the audio driver and install the audio driver downloaded from dell support

    -clean the boot and uninstall - reinstall the driver

    It was solved once when I tried the pull-off and push the usb for the logitech wireless mouse. When the volume control is stuck on the screen again, I tried this again, but it does not help.

    Any suggestion please. Thank you.

  • Loading of the connected battery, do not... (found the solution that worked for my Dell Inspiron

    Well, the charger is plugged, but he says not charging. What happened twice. I would have thought bad battery or bad, but fortunately the first charger, that it took place just after buying a new hard drive. I did a hard reset on the battery and that worked.

    Now, it happened again. I tried resetting the regular battery, but that didn't work. I tried to uninstall the device and reinstall... did not work either.

    Curiously, what worked was this:

    I have had about 38% battery remaining. I unplugged the laptop computer power cord and the wall.

    I removed the dough. Computer has been cut.

    I wiped the connectors of the battery with a clean cloth, several times.

    I put the dough back in and turned the laptop on battery only.

    I plugged the power cord into the side of the laptop, and then into the wall outlet.

    Immediately, the laptop began to charge again!

    I don't know why it worked. Maybe some grumpy off he can know. When I tried to reset the battery, I turned off the computer before you take out the battery. Then he went out. Laptop with power cord is plugged in and powered it. Then stop down and placed battery. I turned her back... but nothing...

    It may have to do to have the laptop when you remove the battery, or place the power cord in back, or could be simply wipe cloth?

    Hi thelights007,

    Please share the system model and the installed operating system. The error "plugged not charging" can be caused for a variety of reasons as defective adapter or a faulty load Board.

    Try the below mentioned steps that can help fix the problem. Procedure for running flea power is:

    • Turning the system off.
    • Disconnect all external devices (printers, external hard drives, flash drives) of the computer.
    • Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    • Press and hold the power button for 20 to 30 seconds to release the residual charge of the laptop.
    • Reconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
    • Once the system is turned on and booted properly, replace the battery. Check whether you still receive the error.
    • Start the system BIOS by pressing the F2 key on the Dell logo screen when you turn on the system.
    • Press the F9 key to load the BIOS default settings. When finished, press the F10 key to save and exit. System will reboot. Check to see if the error is still there.
    • Try to wiggle the cable of the AC adapter / CC and check if it makes a difference.
    If it still does not work, spare parts may be necessary.

    I hope this helps. Please share the findings.
