I'm very irritated with a rattle being created by the "subwoofer" to the right of the touchpad on my new SXPS 16. Has anyone with a SXPS 16 noticed this rattle? The rattle is especially bad when I'm talking to people on skype; I'm assuming the midrange frequencies are causing the laptop to rattle ....

I've been listening to a bunch of podcasts on my laptop lately and realized that the right hand side speaker is MUCH louder than my than the left speaker, in fact if I lower the balance on the right speaker to 0% and left to 100% it's not half as loud as the right at 100%. Is this normal? If not is there a fix for this?
Also when typing, if I press the Caps lock key too fast the cursor disappears and my typing is interrupted anyone know is up with that?
The right speaker in my notebook is louder then the left one is. The only way to compensate for the problem is to lower the "balance" in the sound properties for the right speaker (I have it all the way down to 70 if you can believe that!) Now my audio sounds even between the left and right speaker. I think it's ashame that seems to be the only fix for the problem. Not sure if this is a driver issue or a hardware issue.
NVidia installs audio drivers to the computer when installing the video drivers (which I still don't understand why...I thought NVidia was a graphics company?) Then I install the IDT drivers/software afterwards. HP has verified that this is correct so everything on my end is up to date...minus of course offical drivers for the 320M video card that everyone is still waiting on!
This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.
As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.
Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...
Hey does both the Studio 15 and XPS 16 use the same speakers??
If they don't then which one is:
1. louder
2. has bigger bass
3. has better sound quality
how to clean out the crumbs/particles that fall in the speaker grill on the studio xps 16? A vacuum does not seem to work.... its driving me insane. Great amazing laptop, but the speaker grills get very dirty and there seem to be no way to clean them.

I prefer the speaker to be portable and can be used also with any audio devices.
I am looking to buy external speakers for this unit but I am not too familiar with what's out there and what would go well with this notebook.
Im looking to spend 60-70 dollars or so but can manage up to 100 dollars (CAD).
Is there a way to get 2.1 audio instead of just stereo so I can have control to my subwoofer?
I can only choose stereo, quadraphonic, and 5.1 surround under speaker setup. Is the bass boost the only way I can control my subwoofer on the laptop?
I just have on board audio with sigmatel HD audio software. It will let me change my 2 audio and 1 mic port to all 3 audio ports for front, center, and rear.
The sound on my XPS1530 just cut out and I can't get it back, volume is on and not muted, however I still get sound through the headphone sockets.
I have tried to shut down and restart but that hasn't helped either.
Is it possible for the speakers to have broke? Machine is about 10months old.

Hello,
I'm looking to buy a speaker addons for my Dell Studio 17.
I've been browsing through the 4 or so pages and there's just so much!
My budget is under 100$. Here is the link:
http://accessories.dell.com/sna/cate...8&~ck=anav&p=1
There's about 4-5 that I really like but I don't know if its crap or not.
Any recommendations?
The left speaker on my Dell XPS M1330 went silent some time ago for all sound sources (Window Media, iTunes, QuickTime) without so much as a crackle.
I suspect that either the speaker itself died or the connecting wire has been dislodged. Do these suspicions seem plausible? Are there other causes I need to consider?
I want to check the connecting left speaker wire and re-attach it, if applicable. Can someone provide me a URL to diagrams that illustrate the speaker wires and their attachments clearly? I tried a Google search without success.
Does anyone or have anyone had their left side speaker replaced with DYI. I need a new left side speaker cause mines blew up.
If I were to call dell and order a new one, is it going to be hard to replace or can someone share some pictures with instructions! By the way would the speaker need to include the LED lightings too?
I bought my XPS in October 2007 and I just updated it from Vista to Windows 7. There is no sound from the speaker, but in the "sound -> playback",
it is normal. There are two "speakers" and the volume bar to have reaction when I play music.
I heard that the speaker quality is poor for these series.
Has anyone successfully replace the speaker? or is this possible?
Just thought I'd post some info on what I just went through. Ever since A06 bios release I was having internet connection issues (slow!) and a speaker problem. When I logged off, I got a message saying " waiting for logoff sound" and had to click the force restart/shutdown prompt. Then I installed A07 bios and after playing a mp3 file with windows media player and then restarting, I would have no sound at all!. I had to shutdown, wait a few minutes and restart and sound would come back, weird?
Anyway, I decided to try and solve these issues, so I uninstalled the IDT audio & driver and reinstalled from Dell download site hoping it was just a bad install. BAD MOVE, now my sound really went bad! All sounds played through only one speaker AND it was really muffled sounding. I tried everything to fix this with no luck until I rolled back to A03 bios and ta da, sound was normal again, no issues whatsoever PLUS, my internet connection improved significantly!
Now I am hesitent to update to either the a06 or a07 bios since machine is running better tha n ever on a03. My uneducated opinion is you need to run any updates released prior to a06 or a07 bios before you install these updates.
In conclusion, if you are having issues like me, roll back to A03 bios, reinstall or update drivers, problem solved.
Dell doesn't seem to want to send me one even though they put a big scratch in it... long story..

My Latitude, barely 2 months with me, has it's speaker grill paint peeling off. It started with the right speaker grill and now the left one's starting to peel as well and its even bigger than the right one.
Anyone have any idea what type of paint I can use to fix it? I don't have the onsite luxury and I would really hate to send it to Dell just for cosmetic repair.
Picture attached.
Anyone else with a Dell Studio and the SRS Premium Surround Sound speaker notice that the bass and general speaker quality is skys and above better when listening on Ubuntu Lucid vs

View 1 Replies View Relatedif you're having problems with the speakers on the dm3. I want you to go to hp's website and update the "bios" its very easy to update it. Just type in the model of you're dm3 and click on drivers, and then click on the correct operating system you have.
Make sure you specify if its 32 bit or 64 bit. Then click on the bios update half way down the page and update it. Then I want you to shut down you're dm3 completely. Once its shut down turn it back on and start hitting the "f-10" key on top of you're keyboard.
Keep hitting it until you see it enter a page that is all text, the bios page. This page will not look like a normal page that you're used to and your mouse will not be active. if it asks you to exit say no. Once you are on this page start to hit any of the letter
keys(example- hyfwgsldi, anyone) to produce a beeping sound from your laptop. Now, Pick up your laptop and place the speaker very close to you're ear and listen very carefully if sound is coming out of both sides. There should be sound coming from the left and the right side of the speakers. Now if there is sound only coming from the left side then I have confirmed with a hp level 2 tech that its a hardware problem. This is what is wrong with mine. Either the factory forgot to connect the wires the right side for the speakers or the speaker company messed something up. At this point no software or driver will fix the problem and you need to send you're dm3 in for service or exchange it for another one. Please trust me on this as I spent close to 30 hours and 7 days on the phone with HP.
I have not been able to use my webcam to talk to friends through ooVoo. I was going to post in the ooVoo forums, but someone with my same problem posted earlier this week and there was no response. When I connect and am in a call, my video and audio do not show up, and I am not able to hear my friends but I can see them. I tested to see if the Video function works on Facebook, and the audio and video worked without any problems. Device Manager does not show any errors.
I am on P7350, 4GB RAM, 9600m GT, 250GB HD.
I don't know if this matters or not w/the built in speakers but does it make any difference selecting the default Format of the sample rate of your speakers?
I see on the Advanced tab there is 16 or 24 bit and then different quality's (CD, DVD & Studio) and Hz's of 44100, 48000, 96000 and 192000. Does changing to the higest Hz and 24 bit and say Studio settings make any real difference? The Default is 16 bit, 44100 Hz (CD Quality).
I lost the speaker adjustment on my bottom tool bar how can I get it back?
I notice a significant difference in volume levels on my FW490. When listening to music via iTunes, or to Sirius online, the levels are adequate. However when I watch a dvd (Bluray or regular), even after turning the speaker volume as high as it will go, the volume is very weak. Is this normal? Headphone volume is fine btw. Is there a setting that boost volume when playing dvd's? Otherwise I will be buying notebook speakers.

My Pavilion g7 speaker will not play. It works with external speakers or headphones. One computer repair shop said the IDT driver was missing. The tech guy at the place where I purchased the PC said if the driver was missing or not working no audio would play at all even on headphones. How can I determine if the speakers are inop or just not enabled properly etc?
