The lost stereo sounds when you play.

Hi all.

I'm on a Dell xps 15 I bought 1 year ago. I started playing a few FPS games recently.

As a first step, there is are not problems but now something really strange and annoying happens, every time I start my new game (or when the server change the level, the game is reset) I lose my stereo sounds, which is very important on FPS games (to see if people are to the left or right (even backward or forward if I have 5.1 headphones). The sounds come right in the Middle, as if a person on my right takes a hit, the noise is coming from both sides, it SHOULD just where the right earphone.

To solve this I found a weird way, it's go to the Realtek HD audio Manager--> speaker / headphone-->--> change quadraphonic Setup speaker setup / 5.1 and then change to stereo--> back to the game and sounds come back perfectly.

Actually I think it was the game that does not work properly, but I just got a new game and it played for a while, the same thing happen.

What kind of problem is this you? and how to fix it forever? It's really annoying as a match lasts no more than 20-30 minutes. After that, I have to go to Alt - tab then redo things (as I do not play on a particular server, I change quite often server that do sounds wrong as well). Sometimes alt - tab too makes the system freezes :(

Thanks for reading and hope you understand what I mean xDD. Also the sound card driver is supposed to function properly, latest version.

Here's the direct link to the version A12 of BIOS for XPS L502x. I think the same as A11 A12 but A12 provides support for Windows 8.

    I m pretty new to laptops and so I put t know much about them, this looks like a good place to come however from the answers. Well, my problem is that when you try to play the DVD or CD, even for those who rely on the laptop there is no sound.

  • Intermittent buzzing sound when you play music, movies, games...

    Since installing Windows 7 Ultimate, I have a problem with intermittent gurgling noise whenever something works on my laptop that has audio. The sound occurs approximately every 20 seconds maybe and finally a second about. It also distorts / breaks, so to speak, the image when playing a movie. The problem occurs if the audio is played through the speakers or headphones. It is also that the film / audio etc video stored on a CD/DVD or hard disk or online, so I know that's not the problem.

    I uninstalled and renistalled my drivers sound card and graphics, looked after that I have the latest drivers, updates DirectX, updated my BIOS etc, but nothing worked.

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium, which is preinstalled on the laptop when I brought last April. I did not have this problem on Vista.

    My laptop is a Toshiba P300D, 3 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), which was a clean install.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hey all

    I had the same problem with intermittent noise. After sending two times my toshiba satellite L750D to get fixed by the store where I bought it (they could not find the fault), I found that the hum is not meeting when wifi is disabled. So I updated the driver for my AR9002WB-1NG Atheros network card and it works perfectly now.

    It is the page Toshiba with the Wireless LAN Driver Downloads for all types of network cards. http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

    Hope this works for others!

    Hi Boy bubba.

    (a) this only happens with this film?  You are able to hear the sound when you play other music files?

    (b) you get an error message?

    (c) don't you hear all the sounds of the computer?

    No sound in Microsoft Windows Media Player is often corrected by adjusting the volume at the bottom of the window settings. Move the left slider to the right will increase the volume, so all the way to the left the volume all the way down.

    Ensure that the speakers are not muted

    Bottom right on the task bar > click on the "speaker" icon > ensure that is not cut, if it's muted go ahead and reactivate it.

  • Problems of keyb/mouse on A30 - 921 reactions when you play

    OK, pretty much since I have received this laptop I had a problem with the keyboard or mouse when you play. Everything works very well, and adults in general unless you're gaming.

    The keys in the game (say HL, HL2, Quake II, GTA, etc) are used to 'paste' in a direction for a second or more, or they have a slow reaction, as with mouse clicks. You could be market forward on the left and then hit to walk upright, but he would continue to walk forward and left for an extra second or two and then go right. I formatted the computer with the recovery disc and the error remained. I then formatted with my own clean copy of XP pro and the problem is STILL there, it must be linked to the material and not related to the software. I even tried an external USB keyboard and he did the same thing.

    I have a feeling that its to do with the use of RAM or CPU, but can't be sure. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A30-921, and the shared video memory chip RAM - the video is an ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility. You can choose to use 64 MB of RAM or 128 MB of RAM, the two are still the problem.

    I am at my wits end with this, because the problem causes a lot of grief when playin fast movement of the FPS. I tried to email Toshiba and they just told me to ring customers, and I don't think they won't be of any help. Its really annoyin me since I've had this laptop partly for the reason of the game.

    If someone has an idea, it would be much appreciated.

    Specification of the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite A30 921
    Intel Pentium 2.8 GHz processor
    512 MB OF RAM
    ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility (UMB shared 64 MB or 128 MB)
    40 GB HARD drive
    FireWire/LAN etc.

    Thanks for any help guys.

    Hello

    I asked my friend on his opinion because he is a maniac in the game what he thinks about. This laptop you is certainly not a game machine, he said. You must set the graphics settings. HL and Quake II should in his work but HL 2 has to complex graphic applications and it will not work properly.

    Hello

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (update your video/display driver).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your
    System. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address
    of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and
    more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    To check system drivers manufacturer as replacements and camera manufacturer who are most
    current. Control Panel - device - Display Adapter Manager - note the brand and
    fill out the template tab of the driver for your card video - double-click - write down the
    the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
    certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver
    stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd
    evening with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), and then
    Site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions.
    (Review of the BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system while there).

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT
    After each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you install
    actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
    (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
    installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities in
    Windows updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it won't install drivers

    Hello

    It seems that the issue could be with the file to install the game. I suggest you to uninstall the game and then get the new installation disc. Reinstall the game using the new drive and see if that fixes the problem.

    I suggest you to check with the game support Men of War for more information.

  • All computer crashes when you play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (Blue Blue without seeing screen?)

    When you play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 , my laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-4757 freezes (sometimes after about half an hour, or sometimes less than 5 minutes).  The game has worked until I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (earlier version of windows: Vista Home Premium 32-bit .)  As far as I know, all my drivers are updated and regular, programs such as Firefox and Outlook will work perfectly.  I'm not sure my other full-screen games, as I have not tried to play them again.

    I have the game in compatibility mode for XP SP2, but before that I did, the same error occurred.

    The error when I finally force close and turn on the computer named blue screen (although when the computer froze, there was no blue screen, just the image of the frozen game, and the sound was still running like nothing happened.)  I don't remember the other information contained in the error.

    Chronology of the error:

    • I opened the game and it loads fine.
    • I go through the menus and select the park that I want to play and it loads fine.
    • I'll be working or seeking / everything I do at the Park, when suddenly it freezes.
    • I turned off the computer and turn it back on.
    • Startup takes a little longer than normal.
    • Windows opens the error message (which I don't remember the details.)

    More precisely what I mean by freeze (obvious, maybe, but just try to be specific as possible):

    • No mice.
    • Without ctrl alt del ability.
    • No capacity alt tab.
    • No windows key capability.
    • Necessary to force to stop with the button on the computer.

    Any suggestions?  Also, I'm not sure what other information you need to know, so if there are more details, just ask.

    Thank you.
