XPS 15 9575 2-in-1, no sound after plugging in earphones

sirilsai,

Restore drivers to default.

1. In taskbar, on system tray right click on volume icon.
2. Select Playback devices.
3. Under playback tab. Click on Speaker/Headphone.
4. Click on Properties tab.
5. Go to Advance tab.
6. Click on Restore to default.

While in the playback properties choose to make the speakers the default playback device when the headphones are removed.

Go to the Playback devices to check if there are muted or disabled devices. Some incorrectly configured sound devices can result in the no sound when the headphones are unplugged.

1. Unplug the headphones form the jack port and then right click on the speakers icon on the task bar. Select Playback devices.

2. Double click on the speakers you’re going to use to play sounds. Choose General tab and go to the Device usage to see if this device has been disabled. If so, select Use this device (enable) from the drop-down menu.

3. Click Apply and OK to close the box and back to the original box. Highlight the speakers and click on the Set Defaultbutton below if you want it to be your default audio device.

If you’re not sure whether there’re audio configuration problems, you make Windows 10 detect the problems automatically by Troubleshoot sound problems.

Hi

I did the same thing as mentioned by u. But still problem exists

I just wanted to know that is it a software or hardware issue. If its hardware then I might return my laptop

Thank you

Speakers and Headphones

I go to device manager and disable and re-enable the Realtek sound driver.  It is not a fix, but may allow you to get sound back without having to restart the computer.  I hope that Dell will look into this and issue a Realtek audio driver update.

Same problem here with XPS 9575, however even disabling/re-enabling the driver doesn't work for me.  I have to restart the computer.  I've tried reinstalling the driver, stopping/restarting audio services (Realtek and Windows Audio) and all the troubleshooters.  The only thing that fixes is it is a restart, which is fairly annoying.

I notice that system has a special "driver" which does not contain a driver but sends the user to a download site to get some Waves component which is supposed to correct a "Localization" issue.  I do not know what this means but has anyone used that link on their systems?

Otherwise, when you plug in a wired headset to the single audio port with the appropriate plug, you should see a popup either on the screen or on the taskbar.  Is anyone seeing that popup?  If you do not see a popup, can you open the MaxxAudioPro user interface either from the hidden icons on the taskbar or from the apps listing (Waves) on the Start menu?

Check the Task Manager Startup tab to see if any audio drivers are disabled from starting.

My 9365 2-in-1 has the same Audio processor so it should behave the same as the 9575.  I do also show the Waves special link so I might try that to see if it messes up my system.

Unbelievable how many problems I've had with my xps laptop so far. Mouse pad and battery replaced, Bluetooth frequently crashes, problems with my video card, and of course the same problem as described here. Will absolutely never by Dell again.

Hopefully there will be a solution soon.
