I've upgraded my XPS 17 L702x laptop to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 8.1. Everything seems to work well (I've even found out how to really avoid installing driver updates *smile*), except the audio. It has the Realtek HD Audio chip, and worked fine with Windows 8.1 using the Dell driver. I have external speakers plugged into the headphone jack, and an external display, keyboard, wireless mouse, etc. In other words, desktop replacement mode.
By fiddling around I can get the external speakers going sometimes, but when I reboot, it goes back to the speakers in the computer. I really need a pointer to a Windows 10 driver for the audio hardware. I've thought about going to the Realtek site and finding a driver there, but I'm not sure that a driver that I get there would work with the Dell laptop version of the hardware, headphone jacks and all.
By the way, the Windows 7/8 Realtek HD audio driver from Dell for this laptop doesn't seem to improve things. Same problem with switching back to the laptop speakers.
I'd really like to get the audio (external speakers) going on this laptop on Windows 10, since otherwise Windows 10 is working great for me. Kind of a surprise, just this one kink so far.
Any help?
Thanks so much!
