Hi all,
My speakers went dead after a restart.
Running XP. Had this problem last year, but finally had them going again after install/uninstall of a multitude of drivers, including Sigmatel and LG and other versions.
Now they are dead again. Used the Dell diagnostics utility and the speakers are fine as well as the headphone sound.
But when I am in XP, I need to connect my headphones to have sound from both the headphones and the speakers, weird. Tried all kinds of Sigmatel drivers, but abandoned after 2 days.
Did not want to, but let''s try Vista, same thing. After a few boots, out of the blue, I got sound again from the speakers and all is working fine.
Wondering if my headphone jack is not defective (won't change it cause attached to motherboard $240 Cnd), or if it is a drivers' problem.
Working good now so keeping Vista,m although I would like to have my XP back, but afraid the speakers won't work again.
Any ideas guys? I did read through all the threads here.
Thank you.
