Dell Latitude D630 sound problems solved

Woooof!! … I have a Dell Latitude D630. This laptop is having numerous always happening problems with its device drivers. One of them is the sound input problem and stereo mix problem.

When you try to plug-in some sound source to the external mic jack, it doesn’t recognize the input. I was like “sweat-bathing” in googling  some solution for this. But after I reached the 10th page, I came to know that recently Dell has released a patch for this problem. It can be downloaded from the following path.

ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/R171789.exe

It works pretty well and I am more than satisfied, because now the device driver not only works, but they have also developed a UI for managing the input controls.

Once you jack your input source, the auto-detect connection event fires and it asks you for the type of input you desire to have.

This is really very satisfactory after so much of frustration.

Thanks Dell
