Dell :: D/Dock Hates My New Soundcard! Azure X-Plosion

Feb 17, 2009

After a lot of research I finally ended up with a Auzen X-Plosion 7.1 Cinema mainly due to the rather famous C-Media CMI8770 this card is powered by.

Since I am (intending) to use the card mainly in Linux, with the occasional Windows gaming.

The chip itself is positively essential to what card I can use. And the CMI8770 is one of the best Linux supported high-quality sound-chips out there.

The problem is that my new treasure does not want to play along with the D/Dock, the card is (not) simply detected, it makes the D/Dock go manic.

The "serial number" field in the bios turns into FFFFFFF, and the revision is wildly jumping between characters reminiscent of good old DOS viruses.

Dell :: Windows 7/Vista D/Dock Audio Not Working On Dock But Is On Laptop

May 2, 2009

It seems that since I updated to Vista and to Window 7 subsequently I can't get the audio to work out of my dock. It works fine out of the side of my laptop.

Any ideas on this? I wouldn't think it is a driver issue as sound does work.

Dell :: Precision M6400 Dock

Mar 15, 2009

We currently have many Latitude D830s with the D/Dock stations on lease. When the lease runs out on these, I'd like to get some M6400s.

Are there any similar docking stations available? We currently drive 3 external LCD monitors plus use the lid on each, but 1900x1200 on a 15.4" screen is starting to affect my eyes as I feel the effects of age.

The only docks I've found so far are the port replicators and it looks like you can't use the lid with two monitors. We'd be willing to sacrifice one monitor, but not two. We also don't want to switch to desktops due to frequent travel?

Dell :: XPS M1710 And D/Dock Issue With USB?

Mar 23, 2009

My m1710 is plugged into a D/Dock (the larger one with a PCI slot) which has it's own power cable. If I plug my Microsoft Sidewinder keyboard and mouse into the USB ports on the dock, they will just power off seemingly at random and for random lengths of time, then come back on and work fine.

If I plug them straight into the laptop, they work fine. My first thought was that my dock was broken, but I borrowed my dock from work which has had a USB mouse plugged into it for years and tried it, and it does the exact same thing.

Dell :: Dock Advice For XPS M1530?

A friend of mine just purchased a Dell Studio 15 and I realized the Dell Dock on it would be a useful app for my XPS M1530 as well.

However, I've been reading past posts and articles saying that the Dell Dock has bugs and is not as stable as other freely available ones like Objectdock, Rocketdock, and Stardock.

Dell :: E Series Dock And Display Port

May 28, 2010

Anyone else experience issues with the display port on the e series dock?

I've got a E6400, E4300 and E4200 that I'm using with a E Port replicator.

I'm connecting it to a dell ultrasharp U2410 monitor via display port.

Several times a day, the monitor will go blank and say there is no signal, then 10 seconds later turn back on.

Several more times a day the monitor will go into standby and say there is no signal, the only way to get it back on is to open up the laptop and press FN F8 several times to switch the outputs, and sometimes that will work, other times it won't. in that case I have to either reboot the computer, or go into the intel graphics settings, tell it to use single monitor, and use the dell digital u2410.

I've called dell support, they are useless. I've updated the video drivers, I've reloaded the computer, I've tried 3 computers (but on the same dock since I only have one docking station).

Dell :: Latitude With Dock/Port Replicator Feedback

Feb 15, 2009

Im starting a thread b/c many people seem to be experiencing some issues with their Latitude while docked.

Some of my problems (keep in mind I use TWO external displays):

1) Most prevalent is my fan issue. This might only apply to nVidia GPU users. It appears that two things are happening: a) the dock simply does not allow for proper heat dissipation.

This for me is a fact as my laptop runs both cooler and, utlizes much lower fan speeds while undocked. b) DELL may have set the fans to kick in at lower temps particularly with the nvidia gpu

Dell :: UPDATE: Latitude E Series + Dock Fan - Identified

Dec 11, 2008

So ive been having fan issues with e6400+E/Dock for months now.
I have the dock with a 19' monitor on top and, a 17 incher attached to the left.

For some reason, after about an hour of use or when using a multitude of programs at once, my fan would kick into high gear and proceed to drive me nuts for hours. When looking up my temps, I noticed that the fan kicked in when my NVIDIA Quadro went above 61/62 degrees (occasionally going as high as 71).

Granted, I probably should have done this simple test months ago, but I finally decided to you use my setup W/O the 17 inch monitor and completely disconnected it from my dock.
Low and behold: no fan issues.
Temps remain in the mid-50's and fan stays at a low, quiet speed.

It appears that the extra work needed to drive the additional monitor is pushing the temps up and kicking in the fan.

So I have two questions as a result:

1) Didn't DELL test this dock before marketing/advertising it to be able to handle multiple monitors (without the aid of a very noisy and distracting fan)?

2) Am I supposed to just live with this now or, is it safe to try and over-ride DELLS factory settings to get the fan to remain at a low setting (how high is 66-70 degrees for the Quadro anyways)?

Multiple monitors are critical to my business and I honestly would not have dropped 2gs+ for this system had I known the fan would be this noisy and distracting.

Dell :: Fan/Temperature Issues: Do You Dock Your E6400/6500

Mar 9, 2009

Im trying to gauge what everyone else is experiencing when they are docking their Latitudes.

More specifically, as it relates to fan usage and general temperature.

That said, I have three questions:

1) If you own the Nvidia and you have fan issues, have you just resigned to the fact that your fan runs all the time or are you still looking for a solution?

2) If you own the Intel Graphics card, can you share your fan experience(s) when your laptop is docked?

3) Lastly, please indicate if you are using the laptop open when docked, closed with one external monitor or, two external monitors.

Dell Latitude E7240 :: E/Dock Flashing Cursor

Jan 13, 2015

I have 2 new E7420 laptops that are replacing some older ones.

When I dock either of them, all I get is a flashing cursor on either the external screens, or the laptop screen. I get the Dell logo, then just a flashing cursor on the top left of the screen.

I can turn the laptop on, wait for it to boot, then dock it, but of the 3 times I've tried that, the USB didnt work once.

Have just upgraded to the latest BIOS, but it didnt change anything.

Is there some BIOS setting or something I need to change?

Dell Latitude E6430 :: Loses WiFi Connection When Dock In EPort

Dec 16, 2013

When I take it off the internet works fine.  

Running two Toshiba 32L2300U 32" tv's that have VGA connections.  Since the eport only has one VGA connection the other is connected with a DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

I need to work from home on two monitors, not the laptop in a dock with the lid open and one TV screen. (Internet is restored when I open the lid as it's in the dock but only one monitor works.

HP/Compaq :: Is There A Dock That Will Power Up And Down The Laptop

Apr 15, 2010

I'm planning on purchasing an Elitebook (8740 maybee) that I want to semi-permanntly dock to a monitor and external keyboard. But I dont like the idea of having to open the lid, power on the laptop, close the lid and then use my system, so I was hoping there is a docking solution out there that would have a power button mounted so i could power the laptop on and off with the lid closed.

HP/Compaq :: DVI? Connecting 6930p Via A Dock

Jun 2, 2009

I'm thinking about buying the HP 6930p Elitebook. One concern I have is that it only has a VGA port and no DVI, HDMI or Displayport for connecting an external monitor. I plan to connect the laptop regularly to a 24" display.

I thought one workaround might be to get a docking station for the laptop, which has a DVI connection. As the laptop connects to the docking station via a different port, I assumed a digital video signal would be sent. However, when I called HP to confirm if this was possible, they advised me that as the laptop only outputs VGA, even when it is connected to the dock, the only thing I could do would be to connect it via the dock's VGA port; it couldn't be connected via DVI. Is this correct? I have received incorrect info from HP and Dell on more than one occasion, so I wanted to check on here. Would the DVI port work on the dock or could I only use VGA?

Also, if not, how much better would a DVI or HDMI connection be versus VGA for that size of display.
