View 3 Repliesits really dumb that am asking about this... i have upgraded to creative x-fi on my dell..
then is this upgradation a hardware chip inside or its just simple a software for the default IDT audio on the machine...
Okay, well the day before yesterday I was trying to watch Youtube but when I clicked on a video it had no sound. 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.
And also, what is a soundcard. Do I have to buy it or do I download it???
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. Again, I uninstalled the drivers and then re installed them and got nothing.
Does it support 5.1 surround sound?

and now the touch controls for audio volume etc stopped working as well how do you turn them on and off? is there a setting somewhere that i touched?
My main uses with be photo-editing (Photoshop) video watching, and light-to-moderate gaming. Will there be a noticeable difference if I make the jump to 512? Are the any games that are playable on the 512 that are completely unplayable on the 256 (ex. GTAIV)?

I know the High Definition 2.0 is IDT which I wanna stay away from due to crackling and hissing on a HDX 16t.
I was looking to buy a 5.1 speaker system (logitech z-5300e) and was wondering if this soundcard is compatible/install-able in the M90 D/Dock PCI slot.
Model is:

I thought the M4400 had even a generic sound-card until I ran Symphobia on it! Boy, did I have a laugh!
So pretty much I hear some people have been hooking up external sound-cards to theirs, but to me, that sort defeats the purpose of the portability of a laptop so...
What better sound cards can be swapped into the M4400? Or is that even possible?
I'm trying to record directly from my sound card on this machine using either Audacity or Sound Forge, but I can't get it so that it records both the sound coming out and my voice going in
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have a dell inspiron 9300 with xp. i bought it several years ago. it got a virus maybe a year ago and i reinstalled windows with a disk i got from dell in the mail. the only thing that was installed though was the operating system. i couldn't hear any sound, usb, cd/dvd drive wouldn't work, etc. i played around with some of the disks from dell but i couldn't figure it out. i put the noteback down and used my other computer for the past year. i want to get it running though. how do i install these things? i also cant find those disks so if its possible to do it without them that would be ideal...
View 15 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Any good updates?

View 10 Replies View Relatedall of a sudden my ONBOARD SOUND CARD is not detected.
all i see is an X mark on the speaker icon.
i cant really pinpoint the culprit but i do remembering doing the latest updates (this is a windows 7 ultimate system btw) and installing WINXP as a VM.
the SOUND BUTTON seems to be stuck. it just stays lit and i cant turn it off.
what i have done so far:
- tried to install vista drivers from hp.com, but obviously am unable to install it since its a win7 system. link to a win7 64 bit driver for a CONEXANT HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO 221.
- tried to do a system restore but fails.
- tried having win7 detect what the problem is and i come with a .reg file which supposedly contains the audio settings but i am unable to install it..
i found the setting for sound by going control panel > sound>realtek hd
audio>properties>advanced
Question is do my soundcard have 24bit/192khz audio decoding capabilities ?
or , it is just a dummy setting in vista
if it has , i will not go for external card, coz it will giv little improvements !
Computer p/n ET831UA#ABA came with WIN XP Home Edition. Label states designed for Windows XP, Windows Vista Capable. I formatted the harddrive and loaded Windows Vista Business 64 bit. I downloaded and installed all drivers that were recommended by HP but my Sound and Audio doesn't work. Neither does my Mass Storage Controller nor my PCI Modem. All were working with the WIN XP.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a really annoying problem with sound quality. When i install the realtek hd audio driver, the sound starts to be noisy. I hear it when no sound is on output, or moving my mouse, HDD activity, etc. I used the sound card with win7 driver (no realtek), and it was really good, but the mic was just awful. 2 years ago i found an old version of realtek driver, which was good, but i dont remember the version number.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI just purchased a refurbished Dell Studio 1535 for my GF. I am getting no sound out of the speakers. I tried plugging in external speakers and Im getting the same result. I see the volume icon bouncing up and down when I play things, but there is just no sounds.
Do I have to turn it on?
Got a new Studio 1537 and read a lot about the sound being improved by removing the IDT drivers.
The sound on mine isn't great but I've never had a laptop before so have nothing to judge it by.
Are the new 1537's still improved by removingthe IDT drivers or have Dell already improved it. I don't want to uninstall drivers if its not going to make any difference.
I'm having issues getting sound to pass through to my TVs via HDMI. I've set HDMI as the default and the sound still only comes through the laptop when playing back blurays
View 4 Replies View RelatedBefore I was able to get hdmi sound output to my hdtv, but now its not working.
I try making the default playback device to be Digital Audio (HDMI), but its not outputting to my tv.
Whenever I play music, or any sound comes out of the notebook (both headphones or Speakers) , it is occasionally be crackle/pop.It happens very often/every time.
I saw in another thread about Wireless vs Sound Card conflict.
BUT MINE WIRELESS (Dell Wireless 1397 Wlan Mini-Card) IS b/g only!
Can't disable "802.11a" or "Disable Bands"!
Below is my configure for Studio 1737 (no bluetooth/finger print reader) Outlet price $600.
I had it for 10 days and didn't install or touch any settings when I received it. Only had windows updated a few days ago. To test video/audio, I ran dvd and some sample wmv for a few days, video great, audio fine.
Everything was great until today, no sound suddenly...Tried to remove all sound devices in Device Manager and system restore to 1st day and still no sound. I had the notebook ON for an hour or so, then suddenly have sound again .....
Recently I've had this issue where the sound driver dies, usually freezing any sound-using programs with it. For example, if I view a Flash video on Firefox or IE8, the flash plugin causes kills the sound driver and the browser locks up. Skype will kill the sound driver too.
So will plugging in my USB microphone or sometimes my HDMI cable to my TV (I watch instant Netflix on it).
Once the sound driver crashes, I can't get any sound from programs like Winamp and even the Windows logoff has to be bypassed because it can't play the logoff sound. The internet is all but unusable unless I disable flash (because any flash page will crash it)
I've had my Studio 1537 for over a week now, and I have two questions.
1. Do you experience sound crackling? If so, what Wifi card do you have? I have the Intel Wifi 5100 card, which does occassionally cause some crackling.
2. The headphone jack has some line noise which is present all the time. Do you have this as well?
