I have a 2 months old Inspiron 7368. I have updated the driver because of cracking sound of the previous version. Now there is a new problem with the latest audio driver VR8Y0_WN32_6.0.1.7908_A03. When I plug in a cable in the combined audio in/out socket a dialog appears with options Speaker out, Dell Speaker out, Headset, etc. I choose SPEAKER OUT.
When I play audio there are no problems. But after the audio signal stops the driver switches off the line automatically 5 seconds afterwards. This causes incredibly strong noise in the PA system, to which the computer is connected. The noise continues even if I turn off the sound, so the only solution is to turn off the PA. You understand that this startles the audience, confuses me and creates a compete mess.
Please help, because I use the computer every day.
Best regards to you all.
