Touch Volume Controls Not Working on Studio 1735

i hope u get help from someone... i got a Studio 1535, also brand new, that has an issue... the sound just stops working, asked for a replacement, the replacement has the same issue... with the 1st one it took the technical support team a week connecting to the system to see what is wrong, no answer... i wonder what they will tell me tomorrow and i will call them again and tell them that they will receive both systems back and that i want a refund!!!

but anyway, just wanted u to know that u are not the only one facing problems with brand new products from Dell, that they are very proud of!

I got a 1735 that is about a week old, I currently have both problems.  I reinstalled with Windows Ultimate and all of my touch buttons do not work, and my sound has never worked from the start.  Really disapointing to hear technical support could not help, otherwise love the laptop, and would hate to see it have to be returned!

Keep me posted guys, as I will you!

Could I ask you, what driver you are using for your sound chip.  I'm serious the sound has not worked on mine since the day I received it, I just have not had a chance to call Dell yet about it. I currently have the IDT driver installed, and it say there are no problems. Also do you know what driver gets the touch buttons at the top working? (Volume, eject...etc)

Would be a great help!

Thanks In Advance!

Thanks for the heads up about Messenger! I will check if it is running and disable it, or even uninstall it, since I never use it!

Again thanks!

Is the problem solved or not? I have the same problem. Multimedia touchpad dosn't work at all. Is ther a solution?

So, I had the same problem as you.  As soon as I bought the Studio 1735, the increase sound touch button did not work.  Very very rarely, when I tapped it, it worked.  At first I thought that I got a difective laptop but then I tried to update all the drivers that where available with my service tag on the Dell website and fortunately there was an update that did the work (do not know the name).

Now when I tap the increase volume botton, it works fine.

Also, with regards to the sound noice, you could try the following steps:
1. Go to: Start –> Control Panel –> Device Manager.
2. Click the plus (+) sign next to “Network Adapters“.
3. Right-click on your wireless adapter and select “Properties“.
4. Go to the “Advanced” tab.
5. Select “Disable Bands“.
6. Pull down “Disable 802.11a“.
7. Click “Apply

These steps should allow you to actually listen to music without any distortion.  Worked for me.
