Dell Optiplex 780 sound driver windows 10 low volume

0

I upgraded my Dell Optiplex 780 from Win 7 to Win 10. Everything works fine except even with audio volume at 100% the sound is very, very low.

I tried uninstalling Microsoft's generic driver and re-booting. That did not fix the problem. I also tried several other possible solutions I found on the web. None worked.

Dell's support site says "Dell is not testing or developing Windows 10 drivers for this product."

I hope there's a workaround for this problem.

Thanks!

use device manager to get the HardwareIDs of the sound chip and google for the name of the chip and get newer drivers from the chip manufacture ebsite – magicandre1981 – 2016-07-01T04:29:44.573

Thanks. I checked it out. It does look like it's time to buy new speakers, however. – Sam Stamport – 2016-07-02T07:06:17.767

why? were you able to get the chip name and install newer drivers? – magicandre1981 – 2016-07-02T07:07:22.783

Yes, but after spending many hours on the problem it seems that new speakers is the best solution for me. – Sam Stamport – 2016-07-02T13:48:34.123
