I have got a brand new studio 15 laptop from Dell. All my sound application jams when I start gtalk. I can’t play songs or movies,
both the microphone and speaker doesn’t work after I login to gtalk.I have to restart my system to restore my sound back.
The problem arises only when I login to Gtalk. skype works well with my laptop. Does any one has a fix?

    Try this: Click start lower left on your desk top, then click control panel then double click sounds and audio devices. Click audio tab ensure your speakers and mic are the default devices do the same with the voice tab. If not change them and click o.k. You can also check your equipment while you are there. Also click actions top line of the messenger window, scroll down and run voice setup.

    Did you find a fix for this problem?

    I bought Dell Studio 15 laptop yesterday and faced exactly same problem as you did.

    I reported this to Dell Support. They acknowledged the issue and told me that this is known bug with IDT Audio Driver. But they refused to give any date for availability of the patch.

    I’ve also posted this on the Dell Community forum. but no responses yet.

    Do let me know if you were able to resolve or work around this problem with your laptop.

    Thanks
