Dell OptiPlex Drivers Download for Windows 11, 10, 7, 8 (64/32 bit).

 

When I upgraded from Windows 7, one of the first things I noticed once I realized it had booted up and I was staring at the desktop and not a splash screen was that the sound wasn't working. There was an installed driver courtesy of Microsoft , a generic HD Audio that probably came from Analog Devices, themselves. It noticed that there weren't headphones front or speakers back plugged in, but not the internal speaker. After some unsuccessful fiddling around, and searching, I found this post from right around the release of Windows 7.

That worked well for Windows 7 using the Vista drivers, so I went in search of the Windows 7 drivers which had since been released in the hopes that it'd work for Windows 8 or 10 update R :. I, too, have an Optiplex made in that I have updated to Windows 10 Pro.

Since I usually use an external speaker, I didn't notice this issue at first - until I tried the front headphone jack; there was no sound, and plugging in the headphones didn't silence the external speakers.

Eventually, I found the Sound tool in Control panel that lets you choose either the external speaker jack on the back or the front panel headphone jack and the internal speaker. My current audio driver is the Win10 version, What I'd like to clarify is whether you are having to choose which connector to use, as I am, or whether that driver will let you have a speaker plugged into the rear panel jack and still use the front panel headphone jack without having to choose in Control Panel - as it worked in Windows 7.

Unfortunately, I don't think I ever tested that setup! IIRC, plugging something into the front speaker jack with nothing plugged into the rear one disabled the internal speaker, but I don't know how the prioritization works if it does at all with something already plugged into the rear.

There won't be any windows 10 drivers. Soundmax is Analog devices and these are no longer manufactured. There is no one size fits all for all All Optiplex all os all versions. I too am a user. Maybe you don't need to actually test the rear speaker connector to know. Mine had set itself to "Speakers'" possibly because it could detect that there was something plugged in there.

The driver in Win 7 didn't have that choice, it just went by what you plugged in, and killed the speakers when I plugged my headphones into the front panel jack. If you check the Control Panel "Sound" icon, you can see whether you have the one that makes you choose, or one that doesn't. I would be curious if you have a separate sound or video card, or only use the onboard sound and video, and whether your sound driver gives you the "High Definition Audio" choice - for HDMI.

The issue is that by default windows 7 or 8 or 8. The solution is to install the Dell driver and then let windows update decide if the driver needs whql update. This is a common problem. The Audio ESP function that asks whats plugged into the port is not enabled in the generic win7, win8, win10 driver. You also have to add the feature back for Legacy Direct Show from control Panel.

If you do all the right things in the right order it will work. Then do the checkboxes. You MUST BE online when you do this because it will whine about not finding the features and needing to download them from windows update.
