I have yet to find a find a solution to this problem. freecoder works only part of the time , total recorder disables the microphone. and the sigmatel's xp driver disables themicrophone leaving me only with the microphone array which is good for nothing, dell and microsoft are EVIL.

XPS M1530 with Vista Sp1.


This problem resides with DRM and the drivers supplied to Dell by SigmaTel. There are two theories behind this;

 

First is Vista rejected the codecs due to a inccorrect signature, bombing the control.

 

Second, which is more wild, but in this day, plausable, SigmaTel got the pliers applied to them by RIAA, preventing them from enabling the option.

Dell's announcement on this issue is dated back to January with no updates so the latter is moreso.

 

The downgrade procedure worked on PROWL and I do have the COM error.

 

Someone is going to get punched in the mouth for this. My bet it'll be a RIAA rep.

has anyone been able to find a solution to this problem yet? I have tried the freecorder toolbar but it doesn't always work. total recorder doesn't always work either.  Using the XP driver 171789.  Will give any stereo mix but disables the mike in jack.  If all you want to do in stereo mix that's fine.  But if you wish to do voice recording this is a problem.  I have a recently from a liaison that there is going to be some sort of announcement this week.  Was hoping to solve both problems.  Has anyone found any outside hardware or software which can solve this?

I can't wait to get an update on this thread and hopefully an announcement from Dell about solution to the problem!  I have not tried the download for fear it will mess up mic as well and I'm just not tech savy enough to be able to resolve issues simply.  I guess I am stuck where I'm at!  

 

Is there a possibility that an external sound card would resolve this issue temporarily for me until Dell gets an update ready.  (If they ever do!)

 

Thanks!

RascallyRob,

 

Thanks a million for this thread ... it has been very helpful to a lot of folks who have to the Audio board looking for answers.

 

 

 

Can you (or anyone else) confirm that the Audio Advantage SRM External USB Sound Cardyou linked to has stereo mix (or wave out or whatuhear etc) in Vista? I couldn't find that information on their site.

 

Jim
