Most computers will only pair this earpiece as a headset for voice calls. You need to make sure the headset is paired with your device as both a phone headset and media headset. Check your settings on your computer or smartphone to make sure it is paired properly to play media sound.
If your Laptop has a "Latitude C/Port Advanced Port Replicator" Then this Port Replicator connects Dell Latitude
notebooks to peripheral devices such as a monitor, printer, keyboard and
mouse. To accomplish this, connect your peripheral devices to the Dell
port replicator itself, and leave them connected to it. Then connect
your notebook to the port replicator to access the devices without
having to attach them individually each time you want to use them. You
can also set up speakers on the Dell Latitude C/Port port replicator to
provide improved quality audio.
Follow following steps:
1) Place your Dell Latitude notebook in your C/Port Advanced Port Replicator and turn on the notebook using the power button.
2) Place the speakers you want to
connect to the port replicator on either side of the port replicator
according to the Left and Right (L and R) labels on the speakers.
3) Plug the audio line connector
from the speakers into the audio line out plug on the port replicator.
The audio line out plus is on the right-hand side of the port replicator
base next to the infrared port, directly opposite the notebook ejection
lever.
4) Plug the power cable from the
speakers into a power outlet if needed. Battery-powered speakers will
not require this. Turn on the speakers following the manufacturer's
instructions.
5) Open your preferred music or
audio software (such as Windows Media Player or iTunes) on your Dell
Latitude notebook and play an audio file to hear the newly-attached
speakers.
This sounds like a defective audio port. In normal operation, plugging in a headphone plug breaks the connection to the speakers. On your laptop, when you pull out the plug it makes a connection, but only briefly. Unfortunately the audio port is built into the system board. I don't think you will find a software fix for this problem. Your best bet is to get a USB sound device for external speakers.
Try system restore, if it fails, try to perform 32 bit dell diagnostics on the audio by booting the computer using the resource cd. make sure that the external speakers is disconnected. if still no sound on the diagnostics then you need to replace the internal speakers.
first of all check if you have sound in headphones if not go to start->accessories->system tools->system recovery and here chose day that you know that your sound was working. If it will not fix it try to reinstall sound drivers, and last hope is in reinstalling operating system. If you have sound in speakers its fault of your laptop speakers and you need to change them.
when was the last time when your audio was working fine? try to do a system restore first, if not fix then download the latest audio driver. uninstall then reinstall the audio driver. try connecting an ext speakers if you will audio if yes then check audio settings from the control panel. if not then update the bios if not then replace motherboard.
you are try to get sound for external sound. maybe you put the jack in wrong hole ? or your external device isnot working. or your volume is not high.
try these pls. and notice us.
