Haha. Yeah. Dumb. But it is a pleasure to inform you and future readers about Dell's dumbness. (Not because I hate Dell, just because I'm informing)

Pleasure. Thank you.

According to a man on the Dell forum Dell laptops do not have a Realtek Audio Manager. Instead you get a Dell Audio Manager that seems to be based on the Realtek Manager but is much less useful. He says as far as he knows there is no way to do what I want.

It can't be the way the socket is made. According to fireberd there is an option to change it on his/her PC

Hi Berton, thanks for your concern but I have a splitter which I would use if I had speakers. What I want to do is play music through both plugged in headphones and built in laptop speakers (as they are the only speakers that I have). However, as I did mention in my original post, when I plug in...

Ok thanks. I will do that and will post here if I get an answer. Thank you for your help!

The installer prompted me to follow all of the above steps, in that order, and I did. So I'm not sure what's going on...

Hi fireberd, I downloaded and installed the Realtek HD Audio Driver found here: Realtek but it seems to be exactly the same as what I had. Nothing has changed. I know that it has been reinstalled because the installer first uninstalled my current driver before installing the new one, and in...

Dell inspirion 15 laptop. Dell model: Inspirion 3521-3829

I don't think I have it. I think I have Dell Audio instead which doesn't have this option.

Thanks fireberd, but I don't think I have this manager on my laptop. All that is under "Hardware and Sound" is this: There is no "Realtek HD Audio Manager". When I click on "Sound" this window comes up: and when I double click (or right-click>properties) on the device shown there this...

David Bailey, I think that we have looked at the picture but are missing your point. Can you explain what you mean?

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody can help me I want to play music (or any other audio playback) through both my inbuilt laptop speakers and external speakers which I plug in. I have found many instructions on how to do this on other forums but none of them seem to work on my laptop. At the moment...

I did this to my pc a while ago and it didn't ask me for a product key. But I don't properly understand how windows licences work so I can't guarantee that it won't ask you. The recycling process only took about 30 minutes but all the setting up afterward took me a long time. You will have to...

It seems to be published by Qualcomm Atheros. But I can't find where to download this program on their website

Hi Golfuletzmk5, the program I used is called HotSpot and looks like this (Screenshot attached). I didn't install this program so I assume it comes pre-installed on Windows 8, or maybe it comes with the Windows 8.1 update. At first it worked perfectly for me but recently it has stopped working...

Ok. Thank you topgundcp. Sorry that is probably basic info that is available everywhere on Google. I just didn't think of it. Any ideas why Partition Wizard shows it as full though?

I recently got this to work. There is a neat little desktop program called HotSpot in Windows 8.1 which I didn't notice before (or maybe it's new?). It does this perfectly and my phone connects fine. Thanks for all the help.

Hi tludell, I never did manage to resolve this problem. But a while ago my computer started having other problems as well and so I decided to recycle my PC using Windows 8's nifty new feature. That sorted out all the problems, including the camera app problem, although it took a frustratingly...

Hi All, I want to format my external hard drive into two partitions so that I can use one of them as a recovery drive for my Windows PC and the other one for my personal data. I am using Windows 8.1. It is a 1TB WD Elements hard drive currently formatted into one exFAT partition. It is about...
