XPS 400/Dimension 9150-No Sound
Hello
I need advice on how to remove the small PCB that is mounted on the front panel on the Dell Dimension 9150. This houses the two USB ports , LEDs,
headphone and microphone jacks and the on/off switch. The headphone socket maybe defective as the SB sound system is not functioning.
A year or so ago I plugged headphones in the socket, there was a loud crack and the system went off. I managed to restore it and the sound's been OK and since never used the headphone outlet until last night after having a few drinks and plugged earphone jack in the socket again and pop the sound went off and this time doesn't come back on again. I assume there must be a short in the socket don't know whether this has damaged the sound card. I have already removed the fans and CPU heatsink.
Regards
John

Have you checked your speaker settings under sounds in control panel. It may have been set to the headphone vice the speakers.

Hi Dave
Yes I checked this and it just states that jack information not available.
The System Devices sound card which is the SB X-Fi I assume feeds the 5.1 Surround system via the head-phone jack. I suppose I could remove the small white in-line plug on the edge of the PCB and rewire it bypassing the headphone jack.
