I'm having trouble using the built in microphone with programs like Steam, Skype, and other online multiplayer games.
It worked just fine in Vista, but now the microphone is overly sensitive and cases feedback at every volume level.
I'm using the driver that Windows 7 automatically installed. Anyone have an idea?
I can't seem to get my headset to work with the M1530. I believe that I changed the settings for the sound inputs etc to get the headset to work with EVE, but now I'm trying to get it to work with CounterStrike Source. But I can get anything. I'm plugging it into the front mic port as it's a non-USB headset. I know the headset works as I've tested it on my PC. I'm pretty sure that it's simply a settings issue and that the port itself is fine.
I've tried reinstalling the sigmatel software but it didn't help.
I recently did a hard drive format to install Windows 7 64-bit and since then the integrated array mic on my M1530 has not worked. I am not sure but I believe the integrated mic is run by the sound driver.
I have tried to update my sound driver from the standard Microsoft High Definition Audio one to the Sigma Tel on the Dell drivers website but when I but when I try to install it says "Object not present please restart system and try again."
I have tried this countless times now and have tried uninstalling the MS driver before installing the new one but after restarting Windows automatically re-installs the High Definition Audio.
I always use a headset when I need a mic, so I want to basically disable the internal mic but I can't figure it out.
I'm running WinXP with the sigmaTel drivers on my M1530
So the mic on my TT was working under Windows 7 the other day. But now I notice today that it is not working at all. The built in mic isn't even showing, nor is a plug in mic to the mic port

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with the internal microphone located at the top of the display on the HP G60 notebook PC, pre-loaded with the Windows 7 Home Premium operating system. All OS, PC drivers and system ROM have been updated to current.
Â
The sound it produces is at best barely audible or usually completely inaudible. This is true when I use the internal Sound Recorder app as well as when I try to utilize Windows Live and Skype for either audio or video calls. The fact it behaves this way using Sound Recorder proves it has nothing to do with firewalls or internet latency. Also, I can hear and see the people I'm trying to communicate with just fine.
Â
I first noticed the problem on an HP G60t system I purchased from hpshopping.com in early December 2009, which was a custom build and shipped to me.  I opened a case with support and they told me I would have to ship it back for repair or I could just return it. I returned it.
Â
Figuring I was just unlucky enough to get a bad system, I then went to Best Buy in late December 2009 and bought a second HP G60, this time a G60-535DX, which was similarly configured. Guess what? The exact same problem.
Â
I have been researching these HP support forums and the customer reviews posted at bestbuy.com for the HP G60. It seems many people are having the exact same problems. I have tried all of the suggestions I have found, including the following, but nothing changes the fact the microphone quality on two HP G60 notebooks purchased from separate retail outlets / inventories is extremely poor and essentially non functional.

I just did a system restore of windows 8 (clean wipe) and went through the process of reinstalling all the drivers. Â I installed the latest version SmartAudio (8.32.43.0). Â In Google hang out it said the microphone wasn't working, then I clicked on the settings and made the internal mic the default, I got good mic for 1 second. Â Did it again and the same thing. Â But this is only for a single second. Â In skype I tried the same thing and it is just super quite, it doesn't register on the scale unless I blow directly into the mic (so I know it's picking something up). Â Last week I had my upgraded from win 7 Windows 8 install working just fine with the microphone (zero problems ever before with this thing). Â I checked in mic properties and DB and volume are set to max. So what is it about the fresh install that is making the mic all cracked out? (I checked the SmartAudio settings too) I'm having issues with my Bluetooth mouse too(disconnects at restart and have to reinstall) and Power Manager (it doesn't show up as a toolbar anymore). Â P.S.. I've gone to the X220 site and downloaded the latest drivers and installed system update.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am thinking of pre ordering a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium for my 1530 to keep it up to date.
Here in the UK it's only £45 delivered, but rather than formating my Vista copy I was gonna get a new 7200rpm drive to put it on, cos it's a good excuse!
Anyhoo, my questions are;
Can I swap drives without voiding my 3 year Dell warranty?
Which version, 32bit or 64?
What are the pros of the 64bit over the 32?
Finally, will I be able to get drivers for my hardware, eg Dell bluetooth module and webcam etc, even on the 64bit version?
i have installed Win7 in my friends xps m1530 machine (Core 2duo-2.00ghz and 2gb ram, 160gb hdd with 7200rpm, nVidia 8400m gs) i didn't install any update or anything
View 3 Replies View RelatedInstalled Windows 7 but my mic is acting up. There's all this static and noise for some reason. I've tried different Sigmatel audio drivers but I can't seem to fix it.
I reinstalled Vista to make sure my hardware hadn't stuffed up but it's working fine on Vista.
I've attached a recording of 'Kalimba' from the music samples of Windows 7 which is playing from my speakers while my room is silent
According to Dell's website it is recommended that I NOT upgrade to Windows 7...which I don't understand AT ALL! My machine is only a year old, it's not outdated to run Windows 7 and has the recommended hardware that Micrsoft suggests.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI Installed the windows 7 beta and had everything up and running smooth after i installed all my apps i went to add my music library to winamp. Now ahead of time everything works fine in vista and it seemed to work smoother and faster in win7 to this point. My harddrive with music is on a NAS drive that is on my linksys wrt610n router.
the three times i tried to scan my music from the NAS drive to winamp it blue screened.
I could not get it to bluescreen any other time but when i was trying to add my music library to winamp. Anyone expierance this or have any idea how to fix it?
It bluescreens and reboots so fast i do not even get any information from the bluescreen.
My m1530 stats are as follows
T9300 (2.5ghz penryn)
3 gb of ram
seagate 200gig 7200rpm drive
bluetooth
intel 4965agn (i believe its the intel N card)
default sound card
how many of you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows on your XPS M1530 notebooks, and why. How much RAM do you have?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI cant disable startup sound in windows 7, as well as logon or shutdown sound. I have tried to turn it on , and off an on.. but nothing.
and second problem is microphone..I am using Skype and it seems that mirophone level is set up too low...or maybe something with driver.
I've tried vista driver and the one from W update , the troubleshooting tool aswell, but it is still dead.
And the gadgets are dead as well. cant even run it..
Tried to install Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility like a first, then Chiptet driver -but unsuccsesfull..the Intel turbo memory driver installation had problems too. Dad to instal them in under "vista compatible mode"
Currently, I had to have dell fix/ replace my motherboard/ gfx card and the HDD as both died on me.
Since I was unable to recover data from the other harddrive I was thinking about upgrading to windows 7. Though unsure if it was worth it for me to bother with the 64 bit version thus sticking with the 32 bit if upgrading at all.
As when I was reading up on it, I noticed that the reason 32 bit OS reserve that extra .5 gb of 4 gb was for I/O or some other reason.
So What I am wondering is if I installed the windows 7 64 bit version, would it allow my processor to touch the reserved/ unaddressable section of the ram ( the .5 gb of 4 gb of ram I have installed windows doesn't recognized. In vista it recognized only 3.5 gb of it .....
I am starting this thread for the discussion of Windows 7 x64 installation on the M1530. Please limit the thred to 64 Bit only.
I just took delivery of my 1530 this morning and now have it exclusively running Win7x64. So far, so good on basic functionality, but I hope to delve into performance and gaming issues tomorrow. I will be running benchmarks in order to compare 7 and Vista.
So far I have only installed Symantec AV 2009 Gaming Edition and Steam. Everything else is either stock to Win7x64 or came down via Windows Update.
Installed Windows 7 as my main OS yesterday. Its a beta 1 but its a lot better than Vista in every way possible (supports the 185.20 Nvidia beta driver).

XPS M1530 Windows XP Driver Pack (Final) by Udi
Which AHCI driver(s) should I include? UDI mentions in his readme (Method 1) to use 82801HEM/HBM (Mobile) driver. This driver is in both iaahci.inf and iastor.inf. Which one should I use? I have a 7200 RPM SATA HD.
I installed win7 x64 and this is the only driver it didnt find i am not sure what it could be.... any ideas?

The BIOS with A12 should not have been affected during the change and I have the Dell OEM for Windows 7...drivers work fine, but just in case I'm asking here.
I also got a compatibility error when I tried to install the nvidia driver for my 8400GS with Windows 7 64-bit
I am loving W7. Its really slick and best of all simple. So far just about everything important seems to be working fine. I updated the nvidia driver. But there are some things that seem to be non-functional...
such as the the sound drivers (even though I get sound. Sound Blaster says I need them in order to install), webcam, bluetooth and scroll bars on the mouse pad.
I was wondering if there are any drivers that have been released that fix these issues. If not... oh well don't really care but it would be nice to have everything working.
I have the M1530 and the option to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro was presented to me and I took it. Sadly,
I started having some problems with a game so dear to me.. So instead of going back to Vista I tried to figure out Windows XP Mode.
since i installed windows XP on my M1530 i got some serious heat issues with my laptop.
speedfan is indicating idle:

Is anyone experiencing same things or has suggetions how to solve this?
How to install Windows XP 64-Bit (x64) on XPS M1530
Is it possible? Yes it is! For those of us who enjoys Windows XP and need that 4GB+ ram for bragging rights, here is a HOWTO (with pictures) for you. This is working on a Dell XPS M1530 with an PM965 chipset, T9300 CPU, 4GB DDR2 ram, and 256MB GeForce 8600M GT video card. I will not guarantee that this will work on ALL Dell XPS M1530 systems. For those with the same laptop specs, this should work for you.
You will need:Basic knowledge of installing WindowsA genuine Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit CDDrivers pack (downloaded in this thread). This will not include drivers for your video card, touchpad, and fingerprint.Agree that by following these steps, I am in no way liable for your actions and you will take full responsibility to any damage to your computer, if it may occur
Steps:
Optional step, but recommended. Install the latest BIOS for your M1530 from the Dell website. More info on benefits of BIOS A11+ drivers here: 8 gb on xps m1530, with A11
Download the essential drivers pack HERE: [url]
Put this driver pack inside a flash drive or an external hard drive that uses a USB port. You will need this for later steps.
This essential drivers pack includes:
- Intel Mobile Chipset Driver
- Ricoh R5C832, R5C833, R5C843 Driver
- Sigmatel STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver
- Marvell Yukon Ethernet Controller Driver
- Creative Labs Laptop Integrated Webcam Driver
- Intel Wireless WiFi Link Adapters Driver
*Most of these drivers are for other laptops such as the M1330, M1730, Inspiron, etc. that support Windows XP 64-Bit. Since these laptops share common hardwares, these drivers work fine on the M1530.
Before installing XP 64-Bit you need to disable the Flash Cache Module and switch the hard drive mode from AHCI to ATA. To do this, restart the computer, and then press F2 to go to the BIOS.
In BIOS under Flash Cache Module, change it to OFF:
Then under SATA Operation, switch it to ATA:

I can't find anything allowing me to turn it back on anywhere. It's as if Vista doesn't detect it even being plugged in. Where should I start looking for an option to turn it back on or reinstall it? I have looked and looked and can't figure this out
View 4 Replies View Related2 days before (on Vista) I was able to use the front audio panel. I was able to use headset with microphone.
Now I can only use headphones becasue W7 is not picking up anything, even though I have set it in Sigmatel control panel to be microphone.
The driver windows installed makes some noises sometimes when listening to music. Where can i get a good driver?
