Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

If you have not done so already, try reinstalling the audio drivers.

Regarding the error messages, my guess is that they are unrelated.  Here are the three possibilities -
1.  The messages are unrelated, and benign.
2.  The messages are indicating the sound card has a problem
3.  The messages are unrelated, but are not benign.  You have a problem, which could include OS corruption, hardware failure, or malware.
My complete guess is either 1, above, or 3 (malware).
Like my last post suggested, try reinstalling the driver, and run malware tests to make sure you are clean.

Who is the manufacturer?  If the problem is the sound card driver, then yes, installing a new card (and therefore a new driver) would fix the problem.  But why go through the trouble?  Reinstalling the driver is free, and easier.

Go to dell.com.  Click on support, then drivers and downloads.  It will ask you for your computer model.  There should be an option to 'automatically detect' your model.  Select that option, and follow the steps.  You should then be sent to a page that has the available downloads for your computer.  'Audio' should be a heading with file(s) listed underneath.  If there are more than one, post here the options.  Otherwise download the file (it should be an .exe) and run it.  After the installation you may need a reboot.  See if that works.

I'm trying to connect a device to my E6530 via Bluetooth but it seems like this laptop has no Bluetooth option, does it make sense ( hope not )?

Hmmm, why would they make a high end laptop without it?

Would a Bluetooth USB solve the problem?

Still common for laptops not to have BT.

On Dell's Latitude, they charge extra for every feature, so typically it would come w/o BT

Just checked it up, it's an add on option. I agree, it's ridiculous.

You lost the manufacturer's bt?  Contact them to see if you can get a free replacement.  What device were you trying to transfer with?
