• Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 (Pro audio/video workstation)

  Greetings. I have a Win7 computer (Tower w a QuadCore i7, etc.) and it is a workhorse for my audio and video production. I've heard enough from 8.1 to feel that it will be useful to upgrade now. It seems with the tool, I have to reinstall my apps, but I can keep my personal files? I guess that personal records are all the folders/files in my account and NOT the associated applications? I'm fine with that and reinstall applications, because there aren't that many.

  My main question: if I do the road to "Keep personal files", is actually as a new installation or will there be even a few 'old' bloatware or the old registry entries lying around? The reason why I ask is, unless you install the new OS replaces former OS stuff, since I have to install all my apps anyway, I might as well dump my personal files and make a new install on the drive and then just put my personal files. BUT, if at all, it gets rid of OLD files and registry entries, it's good enough for me.

  Because I had my tower built more than 3 years ago, I'm on the web enough and although minor, there was some malware/spyware, etc. installed sometimes and I'll scan and the app it will clean. But still, I noticed the computer being slower and more eccentric over the years, so I hope this update will clean things up. But if it means that I really need to do a fresh install to achieve this, I will. If I can actually do this and keep my personal files, I would rather.

  Hope that all makes sense. Thanks for the help!

• New XPS 8700 has Windows 8 loaded on the bad hard drive

  I just got a Dell XPS8700 SE with a 256 GB SSD and 2 TB Hard Drive.

  I got the 256 GB SSD to run all my programs and also to have windows load quickly to the SSD.

  I was under the impression that Windows 8 would be responsible to the SSD.

  Is this a mistake? Someone load Windows hard disk bad?

  Is it possible to load Windows on the SSD as I want and make the SSD my C drive and open the disc of 2 TB for my files?

  Thank you

  Ken

  I called Dell Support and the gentleman helped me to get Windows on the SSD and it seems that I am good to go.

  He has been a great help and walked me through the process.

  Thanks :)

• Latest Dell Audio is missing the button 'Show meters. (Windows 10, Dell XPS 8700)

  EDIT: Rewritten for clarity

  Driver Realtek ALC3861 Audio (worm) 6.0.1.7525, A00 for Windows 10, it is no longer a button labeled 'Show meters' under speakers/Headphones > Maxx Pro Audio in the lower right corner (see attached screenshot). This button in previous versions of the driver for Windows 7 opens a new window with sliders to balance the front speakers and rear in a surround Setup.

  What I did:

  Update my OS 7 to 10 and set to update drivers Realtek audio as a result - to the version mentioned above.

  What I expected:

  The button 'Show meters' would be present in the most recent driver Realtek.

  What really happened:

  After the upgrade to the latest driver, the 'Show meters' button is gone.

  I reinstalled the latest driver several times and nothing helps and tried the driver from Windows 8.1 and by default with Realtek with worse affects (Audio Dell window missing most of the items/drop options, etc.)

  If anyone would know how to solve the problem, if it is intentional, or that worsen it, I would appreciate it.

  I think I should be more careful. In Control Panel > Sound > playback > select the Realtek device > properties > levels there are specific changes, I need. I don't know why I didn't notice until now. Could explain why there was no button 'Show meters"in this version, but I thought that Windows 7 has also had the same upgrade and there was audio Dell upgrade as well.

  I'll still with a new soundcard from Creative, however, saw a $70 super nice which looks great and seems to have features to match.

• XPS 8700, out-of-box speaker 5.1 audio problems

  I had ongoing audio problems since the purchase of my XPS 8700 8.1 desktop system of 64-bit Windows on January 15 and set up with my speaker Altec Lansing 5.1 system existing. The strangest thing happens when I play audio from different sources.

  When I use YouTube programs and music of Windows, Dell MaxAudio Audio Pro software plays audio perfectly thanks to 5.1 speakers. But, when I listen to music via iTunes or try to watch a movie from a DVD factory in my factory installed DVD player, the audio plays through my two front speakers.

  In addition to the issue with my 5.1 speakers, I have constant audio noise/hiss through my speakers. But, it is stranger than most of the time when I move my mouse quickly, I can hear the movement of the mouse in my speakers. The 'mouse noise' is minimal, but you can certainly hear coming from the speakers.

  I spent the greater part of the past month trying to find a solution to these problems - especially the sound of hissing sound coming from my speakers and iTunes music only 2 front speakers and not my sub or rear speakers (sometimes audio will be same break in iTunes).

  I had no chance whatsoever to find a "fix for the problem of iTunes/5.1 speakers, so I'd appreciate any help on this. About whistling noise emitting speakers, here's what I what I met so far, but I have yet to try it (this solution came from Google):

  SOLUTION: Go to the Realtek site (www.realtek.com.tw) > click on downloads in main menu > click on High Definition Audio Codecs (software) > accept the advice > download 64-bit Vista, Windows7, Windows8, Windows8.1 driver only. Version R2.73. I clicked and downloaded the link US2: 64bit_Win7_Win8_Win81_R273.exe (103MB). I then ran the installation program which required two reboots to install completely.

  ITS OWN PURE! The hiss is now gone when listening with my speakers. Moreover, the Dell Audio MAXX Audio Pro, which is delivered on the Dell XPS works always. I don't know what hidden feature, I could have lost, but I consider that it is resolved.

  Someone has already tried this solution but who has experienced similar problems than me? I hate to be "Jackin ' ' autour with new software download and edit the factory specifications on my brand new computer. But I want my computer to work properly with my 5.1 system speakers, which worked well with my previous Dell desktop computer which was in the process of Windows 7.

  One last question, can someone please clarify for me if the Dell Audio MaxAudio Pro software is a product of Realtek? I sent a support one or twice with the solution (Google) I listed above, but nothing but crickets from Realtek Realtek. Customer service poor, to date.

  I thank you in advance for any help and solutions/workaround solutions, you can suggest.

  It is their integrated (Realtek ALC3861 audio 7.1) product with an overlay software from Dell. So yes, you must use their site to get the latest audio driver. Our driver is very old, 20/11/13. I used the same audio driver of detail on my Alienware X 51. Works very well. I added instructions in the FAQ.

  * Open Desktop Audio FAQ

• Dell XPS 8700 - How to install Windows XP on it

  Hello

  I have read on this forum that it was possible to install Win XP on XPS 8500 and wanted Trailblazers thanks!

  I was wondering if someone has even tried to install XP on the 8700?

  I should receive my XPS 8700 with Win 7 Premium on this topic next week?

  I then unplug the original HD and try to install XP on one of my free SATA 3 SSD.

  Also, very probably I will change the video card for another model with a compatible driver that I used for a few years in another i7 PC (I have a spare card).

  The early problem would be drivers, in particular drivers Ethernet/LAN

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

  Please note that I prefer (in spite of having a legal copy for Win 7 and Win 8 Pro lying around) Win XP for my typical usage.* *.

  Thank you

  XPSTester

  I got the PC.

  Step 1: Unit under test and recovery CD made.

  Step 2: BIOS Mode changed SATA AHCI RAID Mode changed.

  Step 3: Air conditioner stops. HARD drive disconnected original. SSD connected instead.

  Step 4: Windows XP is installed from the CDROM. PC works fine, super fast.

  Step 5: Realtek Ethernet controller installed (see the link above, thanks again Sandeep! :-).) Surf the Internet, it is now possible and, therefore, all the rest. The most important step accomplished :-).

  Step 6: Install my own ATI video card and drivers Realtek Audio & HDMI. Playing music and video on an HDTV in Mode Extended accomplished!

  I got 5 points at issue in Device Manager after installing Win XP.

  3 of them have been solved by various software to Intel.

  2 of those remaining are related to Wireless & Bluetooth.

  This is the best I could do at the moment... :-)

• Dell XPS 8700 - technician Dell beat the Audio drivers

  Was originally a XPS 8300, he had problems and replaced by a 8700 XPS Dell.

  Other than having to blow on the operating system and install 8.1 on the SSD instead of the mechanical drive, I thought everything was working correctly.

  Come to know that I have static detach audio from the motherboard. Troubleshoot-performed on mine... two different monitors with speakers and a 55 '' HDTV LG. Static on each of them with two different auxiliary cables. Then connected to the monitor and LG TV via HDMI to my video card and voila... a crystal clear sound. Not static.

  Dell has decided to try to solve my problems of its motherboard remotely by phone and basically broke my Audio drivers. She has uninstalled the driver and tried to reinstall and now he repeats down in big red letters.

  When I click in Device Manager there is not an explanation mark... it's just appearing as a generic «High Definition audio» description Before that he was showing the Realtek Audio driver as it should.

  Dell sent a replacement motherboard and the technician just installed it at home but they cannot always get the driver to install properly and she wants me to blow my BONES together. Ugh!

  Everyone knows these before driver with integrated sound hardware XPS 8700 problems and if so, how should I do?

  I would avoid blowing my PC if I can, I just went through the pain of a data migration and install OS and program news.

  * Uninstall the generic "High Definition Audio" device in Device Manager
  * Go here and do the automatic update of Intel
  * Reset
  * Realtek the only update from the same page
  * Reset

• Realtek High Defination Audio speakers is not plugged in, no sound in Windows

  Hi guys.

  I got my PC for about 2 years now, and all of a sudden my audio stopped working. When I go to manage my audio devices in the Control Panel, it says "realtek high definition audio speakers are not connected. I use the onboard sound on the motherboard Asus Maximus V extreme.

  Therefore, the realtek digital output has been selected automatically. I since changed it NVIDIA high definition audio digital output - so that sound for now plays on my speakers monitors via the HDMI cable.

  I tried my speakers on an MP3 player and they work no - including the cable, so the speakers and cable are not a problem.

  I tried to restore the pc to a time where noise - WORKS DO not STILL working.

  Downloaded the latest drivers Realtek and installed - DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK.

  Deleted the latest drivers and install them from the CD of motherboard drivers - DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK.

  I disabled all audio devices, hoping that speakers will then - DO WORKS not ALWAYS. Help, please...

• XPS 8700 downgraded to Windows 7 - USB 3.0 Driver Install questions

  Hi all

  I got some 8700 XPS machines to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and everything works fine except that USB 3.0 drivers will not be installed.

  Listed under the drivers list is: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/driverdetails?driverid=1TH4K

  However, when I try to install it, it gives me an error before it even loads:

  "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for the installation of this software."

  I know for a fact that this computer is equipped with her because I was playing with him on Windows 8 before decommissioning. All ports are working very well, but they are not only recognized as 3.0. I even tried to do it by extracting the files manually and update (universal serial (USB) Bus controller) Device Manager but it tells me that it cannot find the driver for it.

  Thank you for reading and I hope someone can help me understand something.
