SOUND ISSUES

[mhussain]

HI

 

Am haing problems with my dell optiplex 755 sound works when you plung in headphones yet when the headphones are not plugged in it does not work?? i think it is beacuse of a sound driver not being installed (i dont know very much just the basics would appreciate all the help) thxs in advanced

where are you plugging the headphones in to? Are you saying that you have speakers plugged in at the back and are using the front mounted headphone socket??

If the sound driver wasn't installed you'd get no sound, even with headphones plugged in. Some desktops have integrated speakers and others don't. Alternatively, you may need to plug a 3.5 jack from your screen into the back of your computer (as some screens have integrated speakers too).

 

Or it may be the case you have no speakers at all, hence that's why you only get sound when using headphones

i am sure it has built in audio (Can hear with head phones but not using the onboard speakers)

Our ones don't have speakers in them, although our older SX280's (which use the same chassis) do.

We to have some of those without internal speakers!!!

 

Add the service tag to your "my systems" list on Dell's website and look at the PC's initial config.
