I double click realtek hd audio in playback, set it to USE THIS DEVICE (ENABLED) and not DON"T USE THIS DEVICE (DISABLED). This is so frustarting and what's ridiculous is I can't even configure the speakers, none of the stuff works. Look at these images, I go to another tab, exit, come back and the settings are not saved. I've downloaded numerous drivers, had driver managers like: Driver Genius download all the latest drivers. His is my third forum I'm posting this on thinking there'll be more information on how to fix this stuff. My audio is muted right now, can't edit video files, can't hear in games, and can't watch youtube videos, can't do much. Here's some pictures and I want to get sound back asap. I'd be pretty dissapointed if they gave me drivers that didn't work. Hopefully this is just a corruption of some preference files and not the drivers. Well, never going to trust updating my stuff again especially how I'm using the drivers from the "legitmate" drivers and utilities disk that came with my prebuilt laptop.
Here's my computer specs: Dell Dell XPS L502X Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1 Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-2720QM CPU 2.20 Ghz 4 GB of RAM Intel HD Graphics Family Nvidia Geforce GT 540 M Intel (R) Display Audio Realtek High Defintion Audio OF COURSE, I can't set it to default if I can't even enable it. I've been downloading like 30 stereomix stuff for realtek and until earlier I found that the settings wouldn't change no matter what, so all the downloading was wasted until I could enable stereomix and set it as default. Please someone help me find a fix for this. Finally, I was lead to the conclusion of my sound preference file(s) being corrupted. It stays disabled, therefore not saving any of my settings and this proved to be true seeing all my other configurations in the sound settings in control pannel not saving after configuring them. Well, too bad cuz I can right click and hit enable 1,000,000 times and nothing fricken happens, there's no effect where it goes from disabled to enabled.
And after millions of searching people said that stereomix was disabled, I went to check and yes it was. I noticed nothing fricken saves anymore when I hit the button, two buttons to the right of the configuration lit up button, the one where you just tap it, not really pressing it and nothing saves in the Dell Audio by Realtek Interface, I could set to max volume, switch to another tab and go look at speaker/headphone, then it's set back to 0. I never use those for my laptop since it can just play sound. Why? In the bottom right hand corner there's the volume thing with a white "X" in a red circle saying no speakers or headphones are plugged in. All the way till this morning, I installed like 30+ drivers and uninstalled and I decided to get my drivers and utilities disk and configure the one that came with this computer. I CANT END THE process, process tree, etc, i've tried using other programs.Īnyways, that problem has lead me to yesterday uninstalling my Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and then I lost sound.
The full story is games that use too much memory will eventually freeze and loop the last sound played which is extremely annoying when my volume is loud enough to hear and it's constantly making a buzzing noise with the only solution being holding down the power button and even if I do maange to get out with everything being laggy. I've been searching nearly for nearly 2 days now looking on how to get control panel settings to save.
My username has fricken in it, so I guess I can remaing using it? Please someone help me solve this, it just aggravates me to not being able to have sound on my computer.
