Aug 11, 2007Is it worth spending the extra 25 bucks? Will you even notice much of a difference?

View 15 RepliesI have a query about the titled soft/hardware. Firstly, which is it? Is it simply software, or is additional hardware required to run it?
Has anyone had a chance to compare the normal sound with this package, to see if there's much difference? I hear this allows EAX, which I would really like. I'm just not sure what exactly it is! :-)
I lost record of my audio Sound Blaster ® Audigy ™ HD for dell xps 1530 but luckily save the serial but I tried but I can not find the program to download please if someone has to go somewhere so I just want to please server program, not the serial GARCIAS

When I try to install, it says I have to install the audio drivers first! I did install them first! Aren't they the SigMatel drivers found on Dell website?
This and the touchpad are the only thing missing on my installation of Vista64 (was Vista 32 OEM).
I can't find where to get the Creative Sound Blaster software that came with my laptop. Is it on one of the discs? Can you download it from a dell site or something? I can't find the download, only a driver for it on the dell canada support site.

I thought it was Youtube, so I exited the site and thought I'd wait a little bit. So then I went to Spotify to listen to some music. I kept clicking and clicking and nothing was happening. Then I noticed a blue notice at the top that said something about my soundcard not working properly.
I then checked everything on my computer to see if it had sound. Windows Media Player...no, videos on Facebook...nope, nothing was working. At first I thought it was my daughter. I let her watch Youtube when she lays down for a nap. I came in the other day and she was hitting all kinds of buttons on my computer. I stopped her though and everything seemed fine. I also remember my computer updating that day. Could it be that something went wrong with the update? I don't know if that's possible or not.
Â
And also, what is a soundcard. Do I have to buy it or do I download it???
Â
I went to Yahoo answers and someone said to uninstall the drivers. I did that and then reinstalled them and it worked. The rest of that day I had sound on everything except for Facebook. Yesterday night it happened again and the sound has not returned since but my computer sounds are still working. When I logged on the computer made the log in sound it usually makes. I also tried to listen to a video with headphones and it still did not work. Â Again, I uninstalled the drivers and then re installed them and got nothing.Â
The sound on my HP Pavilion G6-1a19wm is not working.  Sound "does" work when using the audio jack with external speakers. I have tried uninstalling the driver, updating the driver, microsoft fix-it, and troublshooting steps. audio device shows in device manager and is supposedly working properly, mute is "not' enabled. visually all audio related things suggest that the audio is fine and troubleshooting finds no problems..Â

When i play a video or any audio on my browser (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer) it does not work, but when i play a video/audio downloaded onto the pc, it works. Why is that?

I checked all my browser settings aswell and nothing is wrong.Â
Just got in my replacement E6400.
Downloaded all the newest drivers but for some reason, the sound is not right when I listen through the docking station (as I normally do).
The sound is tinny.
When I plug my headphones into the actual laptop, everything is fine
I am in desperation currently with this problem. Let me explain my setup first.
I have the Dell E1505, 2gb ram, ATI X1400 mobility, 1.66ghz duocore processor, about 2 years old.
I recently got fed up with the onboard sound as I have taken a hobby up in purchasing high fidelity headphones.
This led me to get a M-Audio Fast Track Pro which is an external sound card with a separate headphone amplifier.
I basically used this sound card as my sound card as opposed to the sigmatel audio that's in the computer.
Everything was great but i found out that everytime that I did anything graphics related on my computer (blow up an image, scroll down a webpage, minimize a window, etc) that there would be a crackle/static that comes from the sound.
It got reallllly annoying so I tried finding a solution but really could not.
I have a Dell XPS M170
SPECS:
Intel Pentium M Centrino 760 2.0Ghz Processor
1Gb 533Mhz Ram
nVidia geForce Go 6800 Ultra
17" WUXGA Tru-Life Liquid Crystal Display
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 SP2
SigmaTel C-Major Intergrated Audio
The problem is sound been very gargly and sometimes direct music audio fails. I don't won't to buy a sound card.
1. Any drivers you use?
2. Any tweaks you would recommend?
3. Can cleaning the connectors fix it?
My speakers went dead after a restart.
Running XP. Had this problem last year, but finally had them going again after install/uninstall of a multitude of drivers, including Sigmatel and LG and other versions.
Now they are dead again. Used the Dell diagnostics utility and the speakers are fine as well as the headphone sound.
But when I am in XP, I need to connect my headphones to have sound from both the headphones and the speakers, weird. Tried all kinds of Sigmatel drivers, but abandoned after 2 days .....
No sound from my PC.  This problem occured weeks ago and no fix or notification from HP.

I don't have any sound...
I was watching something online when the sound became distorted (has happened before) so turned off G6 laptop and restatred worked well for 20 minutes and then it went all distorted again. Turned it off again and started it up again however this time the sound completely vanished. Tried iTunes, internet, and a movie on laptop and nothing is working anymore. Have checked all the easy sound things making sure I didn't turn it off but nope it all says device is working.
