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.
* Go to the top of the Audio card to the desktop computer
* Open Desktop Audio FAQ
Open the Office PC Audio drivers
* Read "Update Realtek HD Audio"

  • XPS 8700 has built-in speaker and microphone features necessary for Cortana?

    I am considering a desktop computer Dell XPS 8700 with the Ultrasharp monitor of 24 (U2412M). The XPS 8700 Office summary shows that it comes with audio 7.1 channels, integrated with MaxxAudio 4.

  • U2414H, XPS 8700, Confusion

    Hello

    Could you Chris or any other subject matter expert help me please?

    I received my dell xps 8700 and u2414h monitor a few days back, but not yet able to use them again because of connectivity issues. Very frustrating!

    I spent an hour on the phone to support technical today, but they don't seem to grasp the problem.

    The pc comes on shelf with this graphics card:

    NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 750TI 2 GB DDR5

    Am I right in thinking this means that I cannot use the connection port on the actual video card and not the DP/HDMI ports on the pc itself? That is to say the mini DP DP cable supplied is of no use. (if so, it's basic instructions that must accompany surely the pc and the monitor!)

    Support centre said they would send me a hdmi converter regardless, but then reminded a few hours later to say that they were not able to send me one of them, but he could send me a vga / dvi adapter. I don't know that I have this to connect?

    The graphics card seems to have two dvi connectors and a micro HDMI.

    The solution mentioned by other users seems to be hdmi connection hdmi (or micro hdmi in my case), but I've read elsewhere that the hdmi connections can cause other problems to monitor here, including issues of color.

    Can someone give me a definitive answer on the connectors to use, and if I'm likely to have subsequent problems with colors etc (I do graphics work, so the colors are very important to me)

    Thank you very much in advance for any help, anyone is able to offer.

    Kind regards

    Nick

    The cable provided in the box monitor has nothing to do with the computer that you order. They come from different places. They are not bound together somehow.

    The U2414H of the factory comes with the following cables =.
    Power cable
    JHF6D mDP to DP cable
    Cable USB 3.0 P57VD

    The U2414H has the following ports =.
    DP
    CDM
    HDMI

    The technical sales page tab shows clearly.

    XPS 8700 Nvidia GeForce GTX750Ti video card has the following ports =.
    DVI - I
    DVI - D
    Mini HDMI

    * Go to the sales page
    Find the video card section
    * Click on "help me choose".
    * Click on "compare video cards.
    * Scroll down to the maximum resolution
    * From there you could have checked all video cards and chose one with DP on

    Because a discrete video card was added to the XPS 8700, you cannot use any onboard senior XPS 8700 ports. You must use the ports on the discrete video card. So in your case, you will need to purchase either:

    Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable

    HDMI DVI cable

    If you really want DP video card to monitor the CDM, you must return the video card from Nvidia GeForce GTX750Ti credit 8MXMJ and buying a video card XPS 8700 out DP has =

  • XPS 8700, taken audio

    I have a new Dell XPS 8700, it has 6 audio jacks with teeny tiny symbols which color jack I plug my stereo speakers to? For the moment I plugged them into the headphone jack on the top of the computer. Here, the volume is very low. I tried to plug in the 6 taken with no luck. The speakers are an older Dell.

    green = channels before black stereo output = output stereo rear gray = side of the stereo output

    or = double output, center, subwoofer blue = pink = stereo output line level output mono microphone

    At least that is what my xps book says 8700.  Check the speaker icon in the taskbar for noise levels, they can be settled true bottom. Also check the recorder sounds, accessories, click OK, click on speakers. I hope this helps.

  • Add map its SoundBlaster to XPS-8700

    I have a desktop XPS-8700. I added a second DVD burner and a second hard drive in the box. I wonder if there is enough power to quietly add a sound card. I'm sure there is an available slot. I have not to add anything like that, but the two discs I mentioned. Neither made any other changes.

    Assuming that it's OK to add the sound card, do you know if you need to install the software first or the hardware. I'll probably have to download new drivers since I'm now on Windows 10.

    Thank you.

    X 1 most of its cards use 10W max so this isn't a problem.

    The soundcard as an option for the 8700 is a 3D SB1350 Recon.

  • Use of XPS 8700 MSATA

    I bought a 32 GB MSATA disk and installed in my XPS 8700 system. Then I went to see how to activate, or to see if it is installed and working. Problem is that I can't find anything that says it's there. I noticed that nothing in the BIOS, nothing in Device Manager and nothing in the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology software. I expect that somewhere I need to have to turn on the port (maybe auto recognized) somewhere, I need to configure for setting cache, and somewhere where I can at least see it's there and do what he's supposed to do. Any ideas how can I check to see that it makes there job?

    Windows V8.1, 8GB Dell XPS 8700, 1 to, nVidia 635

    I found the answer and it is simple supper.

    When Windows 8, open msconfig.exe and the value of the checkbox Start secure on the Startup tab.

    Reboot your system and use the F2 key to access the bios. Go to advanced settings, on the aircraft and change the SATA AHCI mode to the RAID. When you choose Save, your system will restart and this time let it boot mode safe.

    While pilots will be changed mode without failure. You can check the Device Manager if you like and you will see an entry in for the Intel Desktop/Workstation... storage controllers. Open new msconfig.exe and uncheck the box secure boot. Close it, and then restart in normal Windows.

    Now, you can configure your MSATA drive as a cache for your HARD disk drive in the Intel® Rapid storage technology.

  • New XPS 8700 - cannot properly set resolution

    I have a new 8700 XPS with Radeon 7570, that has a DVI - D and HDMI port.  There is also a display port on the motherboard, but I don't have a monitor with a DisplayPort port, so that one is now useless for me; In addition, I want to use the Radeon, so I'm ignoring the video to the mobo.

    I have a DVI-D-to-DVI-D cable, I was using on my old system, so I know that the cable is good.

    I have a new cable HDMI-to-DVD-D who just today.

    I want to drive a Dell 3007WFP (2560 x 1600, and its only entry is DVD - D) as my main screen.  Must it be connected to the HDMI port of the Radeon (via HDMI-DVI-D cable), or the DVI - D port (using the DVI-D-to-DVI-D cable)?

    My second monitor is an old but a goodie - Dell (1920 x 1200) 2405WFP.  There D DVI or VGA as possible entries.

    So I have a computer with HDMI and DVI - D cables to connect out for each monitor.

    I currently work 2405 with the Radeon in 1920 x 1200 (as my secondary display) using the DVI - D - to - DVI - D cable, leaving the HDMI-DVI-D cable for the 3007.

    My problem is that I can't drive the 3007 higher than 1280 x 800,-there is no option to keep the higher resolution.  The cursor I get under "Screen Resolution" only goes to '1280 x 800 (recommended) '.  I tried the two cables, and 1280 x 800 is as high as possible.  I reinstalled the Catalyst drivers.  Everything appears in OK (no yellow exclamation) Device Manager.

    HOW can I DRIVE a MONITOR 2560-x-1600 OF THE RADEON HD 7570 IN CE XPS 8700?

    * EDIT * I forgot to mention that I got the car that came with 8 Win out and put in a new blank disc perfectly and installed Win 7 (64) business.  What is a driver-install-order problem?  Also, the machine came with BIOS A02 and A03 is common, but I don't see that as being the difference.

    Solved.  It WAS apparently a driver-order problem.  "Drivers and downloads" page of Dell is spectacularly counterproductive in terms of describing what are the components (e.g., what they DO).    I took them in this order:

    01 Chipset_Intel_Win_A00_21Y1M_Setup_ZPE.exe

    02 ME_Intel_WIN_A00_Y22PK_setup_ZPE.exe

    03 USB3.0_Intel_Win7_A00_1TH4K_Setup_ZPE.exe

  • XPS 8700 RAM upgrade - do not use full capacity

    I decided to get max out my RAM on my XPS 8700 to 32 GB. After booting, I am only using one half of the total. I checked the system settings to see if there is something that needs to be defined, but I don't see anything that will help.

    Is there a material DIM switch or something of RAM is correctly adjusted? I looked in the user guide but cannot see how to swap the RAM modules.

    If you have windows 7 home, your authorized max is memory 16 GB.  If you have Pro, you can go up to 192 GB.  Windows 8 and higher increased the memory limit.

    If it does not, you may have some bad RAM.

  • Dell XPS 8700 Windows 10 questions with SD card reader

    Hi, I bought a new Dell XPS 8700 three months ago.  It comes with Windows 8, even if I asked for preinstalled Win10.  The Win10 upgrade process was fairly straightforward.  However so far three times the SD card reader stopped working.  I fix it by reinstalling the drivers.  Its not working again and my USB stopped working also.  Is there a background process that interferes with USB / SD card drivers?  Anyone else noticed this behavior.

    Rgds Frank

    You can try this:

    Go into Device Manager, and then double-click the entry for your SD card reader. Assuming that he has one, click on the power management tab, and uncheck the box 'allow the PC turns off... ». Now, do the same thing in Manager of devices for all your USB root hubs.

    Then go to the options screen to win 10 powers, click on advanced settings and turn off hybrid sleep. Reboot and see if that helps.

  • XPS 8700 - new mSata does not start unless...

    I had my 8700 for a little more than a year and from the beginning, I put a 256 gb 2.5 SSD and everything has been good... unfortunately I ran out of room so I'm a 512 GB mSata and installed with the normal hiccups (bios setting, etc.) and for the most part, it works fine... installed win7 - all my programs games, media and all that. Well, now that I have everything there I was trying to format the original 1 TB hdd which served the initial boot (later converted to my games drive) drive and it refuses to format 'windows cannot format the system disk partition' I went into the BIOS and noticed his 1st listed in the order of the boot sequence. OK... so I put the mSata as first on the boot sequence and people with other disabilities 2 boot sequence HARD drives... Unfortunately, after that it does not start, say no boot device available. I tried other settings and the only way I can get my OS to load is if I put it on AHCI - legacy - then set my empty 1 TB (manually remove games) under the 1st boot device and set my msata #2. I want to use the 1 TB in a different computer and I want all my available bays opened for larger storage players when I need... but most of all I want to solve it because he needs to solve... Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong? any help is appreciated.

    Specifications:

    XPS 8700

    I7-4770

    BIOS A10

    M550 crucial mSata

    OS was initially earn 8.1... I upgraded to win 7 home

    The boot sequence is dynamic, so it does not matter if change you it in the bios. Each listed item will be sought for the boot files according to what is currently installed. Because your startup files are not on the ssd, it will never start to this player. Windows must be installed on the ssd from scratch, so you lose everything and have to reinstall everything. If you have now works well, leave it alone and save yourself a lot of trouble. Startup files are still on the original drive.

  • XPS 8700 (another issue of SSD)

    I'm sure this has been covered, and I searched for this answer but has not had the success I was hoping so sorry for the repetition.

    I have a XPS 8700 (i7, GT-720, 8 GB, 1 TB) on the way.

    The plan is to turn it on and check that everything works and then replace the HARD drive with a 500 GB Samsung 850EVO.

    I've read many sources the merit/demerit to use the migration of Samsung software to "clone" a HDD to the SSD.

    Right now I'm leaning strongly in favor of the 'clone '.

    Thought I would ask here where most of the owners of XPS hang out on the new installation of vs migration to an SSD.

    Before trying anything to make sure that you create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or the backup of the plant (Bootable USB Flash Drive) with the latest version of Dell backup and restore.

    I give an example on how to do it with Dell backup and restore 1.7.5.64 here:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/Dell-backup-and-recovery/

    However, a newer version on 1.8.1.70 out there. Get this by installing 1.7.5.64 and selecting the "?" at the top right and then look for the updates. I do not have a direct download link to the latest version.

    1.7.5.64 has a lot of bugs and improvements over previous versions. The latest version 1.8.1.70 has essentially a UI improved on 1.7.5.64.

    This will give you a way to return to the factory settings software cloning goes wrong (especially with SecureBoot/UEFI).

    If you want to use Dell-installed on the SDS and using the HARD drive as a data drive backup and restore, see the steps detailed here:

  • Fast beep then starts when you start XPS 8700

    so I just got a dell xps 8700 and immediately improved, the 650 Watt PSU and GPU to a gtx 980, when I start the machine he has has a very quick chirp and then starts as usual. given that I don't normally it starts the minute I got it that I don't know if this is normal or not, I think that I probably wouldn't put in updates before you start it at least once. Can anyone confirm if this is normal? or does that mean? I don't think that it s the code beeps it starts very well after the beep.

    What version of BIOS is installed on this system?

    Not sure if this is your problem but some previous versions of BIOS makes a quick beep at startup which was perfectly normal and indicated the JOB was complete. But it has been be mistaken one - beep error code meaning "card mother failure."  For later versions of the BIOS deleted the normal POST beep.

    As stated by Jennifer, you will need to restore the material to its factory condition to find out if your upgrades are originally the beep at the STATION. This is why it's always a good idea to test a new system first, before making any major hardware upgrade.

  • Question of XPS 8700 install fresh Win8

    Hi I recently got sent my Win8 of Dell's USB key and tried to use it to install a new SSD. My PC is a vanilla XPS 8700, with 32 GB mSATA and 2 TB of HDD. My goal is to simply install fresh copy of Win8 on my new SSD. Here are the steps that I took before falling on a big mistake:

    (1) I plugged in a new SSD samsung evo 850 (120 GB), (with cable sata6)

    (2) unplugged the Blu - ray player and main 2 TB hard drive

    (3) I placed the SSD drive in SATA port 0

    (4) then went into bios, SSD is picked up correctly and assured ACHI was

    5) put in the USB stick I received from Dell and booted pc with f12

    (6) as soon as the drive diagnostic tool starts, I get the error:

    'Deploy_Jukebox.exe'.
    "Except for the breakpoint .
    A breakpoint has been reached.
    (0 x 80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x7b9ba652
    Click on OK to terminate the program"

    (7) then just restart guard and showing the same error

    The first time, he does after a new reinstalled it will appear even the jukebox error, it just automatically restart and then show each time consecutive error until you restart manually the source/power.

    (9) I also tried with SSD in SATA0 and SATA1 HD - the drive just diagnosis takes more time, then finally showed the same error. Also I tried to play with boot order but nothing works out.

    (10) I tried with unplugged SSD and blu - ray + HD plugged - and the tool works and doesn't crash anymore. SSD is not defective and has been verified in Samsung tools (EVO new, 850) as well as internal diagnostics Dell f12 menu

    Not sure if this is a problem with the stick of Windows 8 or something else is the cause. Would it be:

    -My PC is initially the 32 GB MSATA - is this something I need to remove the PC before installing on my SSD?

    -J' was sent only a 'repair & valuation' USB and not a Windows 8 OS install USB? You are not sure if there is a difference in what they send?

    -The recovery disk works only if it recognizes a HD with Windows installed to recover from, and if she does not see a (as mine of 2 TB is unplugged) it just hangs

    Help, please!

    Thank you!
