Dell Precision M2800 USB Audio Polycom C100S Issues
I replaced one of my user's laptops with an M2800 laptop about 6 months ago. She called me today to tell me that her Polycom C100S USB Audio Device hasn't worked since I replaced the laptop. I think it's odd about the timing, but figure the Polycom has gone bad and get another out of my supplies to give to her. Same issue - comes up with a warning that the device has malfunctioned.
So I get the Polycom that I use on my Precesion M6800 (I've used this the same day), and plug it into her laptop - same issue again. I take her original, the replacement I gave her, and the one that had originally been mine, plug them into mine and all work fine. I note the driver being used is MS 6.1.7601.18208 and confirm that her laptop has this driver.
I decide to try different usb ports on her laptop. No go on all of the laptops usb ports. However, if I plug the Polycom into her Dell docking station - it works.
I just received 4 other M2800 laptops that I haven't placed in the field yet, so I give all three polycoms a go. Same issue - device not recognized/malfunction.
Put those 4 laptops into a dock and the three Polycoms work.
I try the three Polycoms on several other models - Latitude 5530, Latitude 5550, Optiplex 380. The three Polycoms works on every one of these devices.
So I'm thinking a USB driver isn't working on the machine. I take one of the new machines and install the USB driver - no dice. I think well maybe it's the Audio driver - install it on another one of the new machines - no dice. I think maybe it's the chipset driver - install it on yet another one of the new machines - no dice.
Anyone have any other suggestions or experienced a similar issue?
