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.
I have purchased a Acer 6930. It had Vista installed and the 5.1 Surround was working perfectly fine. I recently Installed Windows 7 and i'm unable to get the 5.1 speaker configuration setup.
When i configure the speakers, it shows me only Stereo setting. how to enable 5.1 speakers in Windows 7.
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!
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).
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 ....

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?
Not sure how exactly to get RAID setup - I've never set it up myself. Could anyone explain how to set up your computer in RAID in Vista/
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have recently been completely unable to access the set-up area of my bios on my Dell XPS 17 L702x laptop. On booting, i keep pressing the F2 key which seems to be registered by the BIOS as the text that says 'Set-Up' lights up. However, instead of entering the setup, the BIOS simply continues booting my operating system. Even if I remove all of the hard drive's, I cannot enter the set up and the BIOS boots to the PXE Setup.
I have tried reflashing the BIOS but nothing changes, the set-up is still inaccessible. I can't even change the boot order using the F12 key.
I really need access to my BIOS and I am all out of options.
I am trying to set up my laptop to use two (2) external monitors (both Dell monitors). I am using a Dell Latitude E6420 laptop that has an external VGA connection as well as an HDMI connection. I can currently use the laptop LCD screen as one display and an external monitor (either VGA or DVI) as the second, or I can use both external (VGA and DVI) as my extended output. But I am unable to get it to work with all three. Is this a hardward limitation? or Setup limitation? Do I need third party software to accomplish that?
The laptop is running Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.
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.

My 100GB drive is just too small. I've been looking at replacing it with the Hitachi 200GB 7200 RPM drive, but I thought I'd look at the SSD option as well.
FutureMark can't compare my score because it says there's no similar systems to compare to, and I'm still new to this....

I've been doing more and more programming lately and am finding it increasingly frustrating flicking through a dozen windows on my 15.6inch Studio.
It already has a 1080p screen but it still is a pain and the prolonged hours staring at small texts is proving to be rather tiring for my eyes.
I've decided to buy an external monitor to solve this problem and use it as a dual screen but I'm unsure how to go about it.
after installing win 7 in my dell a lost bios setup.I press F2 key at splash screen Dell but nothing happens. I update the fitmware of my bios with the last version but nothing again.
