I am not sure if anyone else has faced this problem before, but I first faced it with Dell Inspiron 6400 and now I am facing it AGAIN with Inspiron 1520 .The problem is that system starts working fine, but after some time it stops detecting headset mic on a random basis and then completely stops detecting it.
With Inspiron 6400( Os Vista Home Basic), when it randomly stopped detecting the mic( I use it for voice chat on Yahoo), I used to re-install the driver( SigmaTel) and it used to work fine but the problem would recur after a shutdown.Again the same cycle. Then one fine day it completely stopped detecting the mic even after doing re-install of OS itself !!
Same problem I am facing with Inspiron 1520( OS Vista Home Premium).
I am not sure whether its a problem caused by Updates which is set to Automatic( if yes, then which update) or is it being caused by some software installed.
I have a suspicion that it might be due to Noika PC Suite, but I am not sure
If anyone has any clue pls let me know. But the problem is that for 6400, it didnt work even after re-installing of OS and now suddenly these days, its working fine. I have gone nuts trying to resolve this issue. Dell has walked off saying its an OS issue, we can’t help you in anyway.
What do I do?
