sound problem
Hi,
I was trying to connect my dell inspiron 600m to my stereo system and play it through AUX of the stereo system. There was some humming noise, so I tried pressing and turning the connector that goes into the headphone jack in my laptop. After some time, all the sound stopped! There is no sound even when there is a normal headphone into the headphone jack of my laptop and even if there is no headphone connected into the headphone jack. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what could be the problem and any solutions. Thanks, Arvind |

I would first make sure that your audio levels are fine by looking at the
advanced volume controller. If those are good and you still can't hear anything, you probably messed up the female audio output jack through all the jostling you did. ---Matthew Hicks "Arvind" wrote in message ps.com...

Did you buy it ready-made, or assemble it yourself? |

sound problem
Hi,
Something weird. I read a post saying that many problems by rebooting in safe mode and then rebooting in normal mode. My problem was solved by doing this. No clue what happened. This is crazy. Some days back I was playing video on my laptop thru TV using S-video. After a while everything just hung, so I did a forced reboot. Upon starting I got a message saying "disk read error". I did steps to recover from corrupt hive and everything worked after a few (tense) hours. MS/dell please tell me what is going on!!!!!!

Ready-made. Something which has two inputs (white and red) and one
output which goes into headphone jack of laptop. I have used this for year and a half with no probs. Arvind JoeSpareBedroom wrote: "Arvind" wrote in message ps.com...

sound problem
I have had the sound stop on my laptop before while I was play a movie or
song in a media player program before. I could never get the sound back until I completely restarted the computer. I think the program messed with my sound levels with some system calls and they never undid them upon exiting. ---Matthew Hicks "Arvind" wrote in message oups.com... Hi, Something weird.

Things do get a lot better over time, most obviously with networking and hard drives which are now much better than they used to be, but we keep adding new stuff like wireless etc so there is always plenty of bleeding edge stuff. The rate of new technology leaves that in cars for dead basically.
