Dell :: Studio XPS 13 And HDMI

Jul 3, 2009

My SXPS13 is running Vista 64 with all the latest BIOS and drivers from the Dell website. nVidia driver version 7.15.11.7982.

I plugged my LCD 37" telly in my laptop via HDMI. At first everything was ok and l was getting an image on the laptop screen as well as the TV.

I was then abled to switch modes so l just had an image on the TV. The screen was a bit overstretched so l was loosing the top, bottom, left and right of the image.

I went into the nVidia control panel and found a utilitily where l could re-size the LCD TV image.

All seemed fine until l clicked apply. The screen went blank and it appeared the laptop had frozen as l was unable to get the CAPS LOCK key to come on

Dell :: Studio 15 To HDTV With HDMI

Jan 10, 2009

I have been conecting my Studio 15 laptop to my 720p HDTV for months. Some days it works fine, most days it doesn't. When I hook up the hdmi, the screen will appear on the HDTV, several seconds go by, both screens go blank and then the picture is back on the laptop.

I have tried starting the computer with the HDMI already hooked up and the TV at the correct input. I havetried adjusting the resolution on the laptop to match the TV resolution.

Dell :: Studio XPS 16 (1640)Dolby Digital Through HDMI Possible?

Feb 5, 2010

So as the title states, I am wondering if it is possible to play a video with audio encoded in Dolby Digital on my laptop, pass it through to my TV via HDMI, then out via optical to my receiver. I have a friend who owns a HP business laptop with a SoundMAX sound card, but also an ATI graphics card. We are both running the Realtek ATI HDMI 2.39 drivers, I have the latest drivers from Dell for the IDT sound card on my Studio XPS 16 (1640). He says (and I've seen) he is able to do Dolby Digital this way through an option (see attachment).

However, I do not have this same "Custom" tab / option, and we are running the same driver version (at least to my knowledge). Can anyone help me in finding out if this is doable, and if so, what software (and versions) are required?

Dell :: Connecting Studio Xps 16 To 37 Inch HDTV Via HDMI

Oct 4, 2009

I have a studio xps 16 with the Radeon 4670. When I connect my laptop to my 37 inch HDTV via HDMI, the image does not fill up the TV screen. Is there any way I can adjust the resolution?

Also I have downloaded a couple of 1080p movies, but again they do not fill up the TV's screen, and don't look as stunning.

I don't understand why it wouldn't fill up the TV since if you burn the movie onto a blu-ray disk or dvd, it would look stunning on the HDTV.

Dell :: Does The Current Studio Lineup Support 1080p/5.1 Output Over HDMI?

Nov 3, 2009

If I have a 1080p/5.1 source on my laptop (BD, .mkv, etc.), will I be able to output that signal via the HDMI port?

I've read about some laptops only supporting HDMI video/not supporting HD resolution output/HDCP issues and just want to confirm that the Studio is capable of this.

Dell :: XPS M1330 HDMI To HDMI To TV Issue

Oct 24, 2008

I went to connect my wife's M1330 HDMI to my Sharp Aquos and nothing happens. I even tried the detect function and FN+8 and still nothing.

I tried every option in every control panel.

If I hook it up to a monitor hdmi to DVI, it works.

If I hook it up to the TV, it doesn't unless....I press FN+8 while vista is booting. Then I see vista booting on the TV. Once vista loads, it default back to the laptop screen and I can't choose to output to the TV.

Arrgghh

I even tried to update to a new intel graphics driver but stupid laptop says when I run the exe that it's not allowed or is unkown or something or if i manually upgrade the driver, it says i have the latest driver, which i don't.

Anyone have any insight to how to get HDMI working on this laptop?

BTW, this is on the intel onboard video card.

Dell :: HDMI + HDTV Issues. Studio XPS 13. No Picture, Flicking Colors. Timing Issues?

Jul 13, 2009

My new Studio XPS 13 with integrated NVIDIA 9400M graphics came in. I tried to hook up the HDMI port to my HDTV, a Sony KDF-E50A10:

http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/ser...ductId=1001599

On my screen, all that displays is some random flickering colors. Ive tried changing the resolutions and various settings in the NVIDIA control panel, but still no luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try? I figure HDMI should be pretty much plug and play. The TV is 720p and Ive tried resolutions from 1280x720 to 800x600. I dont really have any experience with HDMI to be honest.

There are some custom settings in the NVIDIA control panel, but I am not too familiar with these settings:

Dell :: HDMI ... Version ?

Aug 28, 2009

Which version HDMI does studio 1555 have ? I dont know why computer manufacturers hide that information, cant they say HDMI 1.3 or HDMI 1.2 instead of just saying HDMI .. i am sure USB is not confusing since most USB are 2.0 now.

Dell :: Audio Out Over HDMI

Mar 22, 2009

I have a Dell Studio 1537, and I reguarly use my TV with my laptop as an extra monitor, and when I plug the HDMI cable in, the audio switches over to the TV with no problems.

However, it seems that whenever I restart my laptop, (even if it was turned off after having taken the HDMI cable out) the audio is being sent through HDMI, and I have to go and change it to the speakers of the laptop.

Is there any way of basically setting the laptop to send audio through HDMI if it is plugged in, and the speakers if not?

Dell :: No HDMI Or DVI In The New Inspiron (II)

Jan 6, 2009

I was amazed by the passion put by some people here, in older threads, about Dell not including HDMI ports on Inspiron.

IMHO, not using any kind of DRM-enabled interface it's a GOOD THING (tm) - please look why:

http://www.defectivebydesign.org/

Maybe that's not a coincidence that 1525s are listed as 100% free-software compatible...

Dell :: HDMI Problem

Apr 19, 2010

I am posting a new thread regarding another issue I recently experienced. It is related to HDMI.

Previously I had my mobo replaced, because one of the HDMI pins was melted. Once replaced I tried it again. I have connected the HDMI cable and my laptop crashed. The speaker started to beep, the screen picture was distorted. I immediately plugged it out and notice that the HDMI connector was really hot. Tried it again and the same thing happened.

What do you think can cause this? The HDMI cable is 3m long. I heard somewhere that using a HDMI cable longer then 1.5m could cause problems, but I have used this cable for 1 year with my HP lappy and my WD TV live.

Dell :: XPS 1530 Hdmi Audio

Sep 17, 2008

I got my xps 1530 on monday and I used vista media center last night to record some HD shows. Later on I connected my 1530 to my HD tv and set the audio out to hdmi instead of the speakers. When I played back the show, there was no audio on my tv, but when I started up media center, the start up sounds and the sounds when you navigate through media center played back through my tv speakers. Does anyone know how to get it so the shows sound will play back through my tv speakers?

Dell :: HDMI Out, Sporadic Audio

Jun 22, 2009

Iv just started using my laptop to output HDMI and iv got a problem with the audio. Iv set the laptop to output the audio and it does work, but whenever a program ends and i open up another one it runs silently, despite me having changed nothing except the program.

In order to get the audio back i have to randomly unplug the HDMi cable, mute it, pause it, unmute it unpause etc and eventually one of these fixes the audio issue

Can anyone shed any light on what could be causing the audio to work sometimes and not work others?

Dell :: HDMI Port Mystery

Jun 21, 2009

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with an HDMI port. While the port was hooked to my AV receiver, I hit a few buttons on the receiver and somehow disabled the HDMI port on the Dell.

I cannot figure out how to reactivate the HDMI port. I know this is what happened--cable, receiver, balance of computer is all fine. Somehow, the received "talked" to the Dell and turned off or disabled the HDMI port or its driver, is my best guess.

Dell :: XPS 1530 HDMI With HDTV

Nov 29, 2008

I had some movies on my XPS 1530, so I decided to connect it up to my parents Samsung 37 inch HDTV while I was home for Thanksgiving. This would be the first time I have every used the HDMI output jack on my 1530 and I have noticed some strange things. First, when I connected the HDMI cable my computer it detected the HDTV but every time I try to switch to it, either by FN+F8 or in the nvidia control panel, it reverted back to the notebook screen. The only way I could get it to work was by rebooting the machine with the HDMI cable plugged in. After it reboots, I can then change to the HDTV no problem.

So why would I need a reboot to get it to work?

Second, after I finally get connected the only resolution that seems to work is 1280x720(720P). If I try to go any higher the picture on the HDTV will flicker terribly. I have connected my 1530 to other displays using the VGA connector and have gotten higher resolutions before, so what's the deal with the HDMI connector?

Dell :: Broken HDMI Port

Dec 12, 2008

Anyone else's HDMI port break on them? I barely used it.. I've had the XPS M1530 since late March/early April but when I tried to hook up my surround sound today it did not work. I tried using different cables, different port on the receiver, and tried directly with my HDTV but my computer does nothing. I updated the audio drivers and flashed the bios, but no luck. Pretty sure HDMI port broke. What a piece of garbage.

After my lid randomly cracking when I closed it less than a month ago and now this.. I can see how this computer will definitely break by the time my 3 yr warranty ends. Good job, Dell. Could they even replace the HDMI port on the machine or would they have to put in an entire new motherboard?
