XPS 13 7390 Mic Problems
Hello everyone!
Got quite a problem here. I have a brand new XPS 13 7390 with Windows 10 (only about 3 months old) and I've run into a rather frustrating issue with audio. Working from home, I am on Skype for Business and MS Teams calls all the time, often switching from one to the other back-to-back. I have tried 3 different headsets now (Plantronics Backbeat FIT 305 - Bluetooth, Bose SoundSport - wired, and Solo Beats - wired) with the same results. The Bose and Solo headsets are a few years old but the Plantronics is also only about 3 months old.
Randomly, the mic on each of these headsets will just stop working. Usually this happens after a few calls and sometimes in the middle of a call. I can hear the others on the call but they can't hear me. If my laptop camera is on, they see me talking but no sound. For the wired headsets, I just reseat the jack. For the Bluetooth one, I have to power cycle it. (Still shows to be paired and connected.) In anticipation of a problem, I have reseated the jack or power cycled my Bluetooth headset before a call and do an audio check in either Teams or Skype before the call, but I still run into audio problems.
At this point, I'm fairly sure it's not a headset issue (unless I'm unlucky enough to have 3 bad ones altogether.) I have run Windows Updates, I have run Dell Command Updates, I have run Dell SupportAssist, I have run the Dell diagnostics online, and I am current on drivers/updates and no issues were found. I don't know what else to do or try. I just know I can't be swapping headsets or (un)plugging jacks or power cycling headsets all day anymore. Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you kindly!
