I purchased the speaker pictured on the left. It is a very good product and improves the sound for movies and music from the laptop. I would definitely recommend. Altec Lansing im237usb Orbit...... good product.

I use this mini spealer on two of my Dell Tower pcs using Microsoft XP pack 3 + - and they both are loud enough and work fine! Check out your Control Panel Speaker Settings. Good Luck.

@Allen, mine works fine for Windows 7 on my desktop. I Googled the Audiohub, and apparently a few users had the same problem A. Purnell did. I don't have a Windows 7 notebook yet, so I can't verify if they work on laptops or not, but according to the Logitech website, the Audiohub should work for Windows 7.http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/logitech_en_amr.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=13985&section;=troubleshoot&crid=439<_product_id=3503&tabs;=1,3,2,4,5&cl;=us,en&p;_search_text=AudioHub#speaker

You have to downolad the latest drivers in M-Audio website. The midisport Uno work fine on Win7

I found this review; it's not Dell-specific but I'm looking for a laptop with loud speakers, since they are usually so disappointing. My tiny smartphone has louder volume than my current Asus laptop.http://blog.laptopmag.com/best-sounding-notebooks-good-enough-to-be-your-stereo

The speaker works automaticaly with the computers sound program. Just click the sound icon on the bottom right and adjust that way. You should know the quality of the sound and volume of the sound is much better then you will have with your laptop. At least it is that way with my Toshiba.

Hi Deborah, I have been successful with my hookup and audio. At this point I would make sure your laptop supports a direct HDMI connection and that you have changed your audio output in the control panel under whatever O.S. you have. Hope this helps. Also, in some situations, the audio is going to default to the laptop if the connection is a HDMI Input. You want a HDMI Output on the laptop.

I am using Win 7 64-bit and have been having a minor sound issue since I built this machine 2 years ago. Certain sound files won't go through my HDMI system. For example, WMV video files won't play sound, but DIVX files will. Also, certain files on DVDs or BLU-RAYS will not play sound, like a company logo, but then the movie itself is fine. I looked for any mention of HDMI under sound options in my control panel, but could find nothing. I exhausted all possibilities. Can you tell me specifically how to locate it? Thanks.

I have a Dell with Windows 7 but found it fairly simple to use. Just put the CD in the drive and connect your tape player to the microphone jack on the side. Then follow the directions given. I have learned that my tape player (an old boom box) needs to have its volume really low in order to get the best quality recording. After recording is finished you are able to edit the beginning and ending to cut off any blank sound. You can also split something into multiple tracks. I have yet to learn how to enhance sound but really I am using it primarily to convert books on tape to MP3 for my classroom listening center. From this format you can easily burn to CD.

there are windows 32/64bit XP/Vista/Win7 drivers on their site but I couldn't vouch for them working on 7. they worked fine on XP 32bit but would not work on a fresh install of 64bit windows 7 pro. even after installing the drivers, windows wouldn't recognize the hardware for either audio or midi. that seams problematic for windows 7 in general :( the BCD300 is a 10 year old controller, feels like it and doesn't look to have much support currently. I ended up getting a numark mixtrack II, which doesn't have audio (I didn't need it) but is an infinitely better Dj control surface then the BCD3000 in EVERY way.http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCD3000.aspx#softwareContent there are windows 32/64bit XP/Vista/Win7 drivers on their site but I couldn't vouch for them working on 7. they worked fine on XP 32bit but would not work on a fresh install of 64bit windows 7 pro. even after installing the drivers, windows wouldn't recognize the hardware for either audio or midi. that seams problematic for windows 7 in general :( the BCD300 is a 10 year old controller, feels like it and doesn't look to have much support currently.

I can't tell you. I couldn't get it to function on my Dell with Windows 7. I kept getting a message that it was not completely loaded. I tried loading it several times with the same result. have no clue what is happening. I was going to send it back but that would cost almost as much as it's worth so I just chalked ut up as a learning experience. sorry I couldn't be of more help, John

Lol. That happened to me too. You need to plug in both the usb cable and speaker/headphone cable into the laptop for it to work. Additionally there's a volume control button on the cord itself. If you think that it's playing too softly, that's because the volume is not turned up all the way. Trust me it plays pretty loud for such small speakers.

I haven't owned one of these for years, but I recall the touch screen working just fine. Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interaction so it will never be perfect. But if it's not working at all, that's another issue. My guess would be that you need to install a driver. That should be fairly easy to find on Dell's website. Of course, there may be a physical hardware issue as well Impossible to guess at this end. Best of luck with it. It is a neat little machine.

All sound issues I was having with this laptop were fixed when I installed the latest windows sound drivers. I got them directly from microsofta website. After that I had no issues at all.

I'm a novice with electronics, but you could try hooking up a pair of PC computer speakers and plugging them in to the headphone jack to see if the problem persists in the new speakers. it could possibly bypass the problem and give you better sound quality. If not, there must be a problem with the soundcard and time for a tech to check it out. If it's warranty, get a estimate from experienced tv repair before you take it to where HCL uses, I've heard not so nice things about their work, google them for reviews of their company. Sorry, I don't remember name, but you'll find it in some of the bad reviews on Amazon. See if you can better advise, but I should be pretty close. Sorry I meant TCL.

Mine has the Reinstall DVD for Windows 7 64 bit, and another DVD for drivers. What I really wanted to ask was for the Restore DVD -- a DVD that will restore the laptop to its original, out of the box state. However, none of the included DVDs provide that, not even the reinstall DVD and driver DVD. I emailed dell support and they agreed to provide me with a replacement drive to assist with my restore process.

Did you check if the memory was of the same time before you bought it?? There could be 3 possibilities. 1 you did not install properly the memory. 2 the memory is damaged. 3 the memory is not compatible with your laptop. The sound is cause because the computer do not detect any kind of memory
