Dell D600 Sound Probs

[ssc456]

hi,

as some of you may know i recently came across a dell d600 and swapped it with my aunt for an xbox 360 and now she is complaining that the speakers are making a crackling sound.

so i take it off her and listen and it almost sounds like some1 has a mic plugg in with bare wires the other end and are rubbing then together i dunno how else to explain it .

i look under a panel by the headphone and mic jack and there is a wire that is inside a plastic case but is not connected ?

i mean it only does it sometimes and playing music and things its fine.

so n e ideas could a driver problem do this ?

it even does it wen the laptop is dead still so im thinking its not hardware

take the wire out and update drivers. speakers that come with prefabs suck so that is to be expected.

Hello,

My name is Richard; I am part of Dell's Online Community Outreach. It would be a good idea to verify that the systems bios is up to date. The most recent version is A16, you can get it here, http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&deviceid=2816&libid=1&releaseid=R103802&vercnt=3&formatcnt=0&SystemID=LAT_PNT_PM_D600&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=-1&impid=-1.

The audio drivers would also be a good thing to update, you can get that here, http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&releaseid=R90698&SystemID=LAT_PNT_PM_D600&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2551&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=6&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=3&fileid=118248.

Good luck,
