    Dell XPS 8900 Desktop: Audio Jacks Hookup Question ?


    Hello,

    Really totally confused about this, and would be most appreciative for some help and suggestions on.

    Have a new Dell XPS 8900 desktop PC.
    Has Realtek integrated audio, apparently. (ALC3861 7.1)
    I imagine it’s pretty much the same setup for all of their PC’s with Realtek integrated audio.

    Presently use the Green output jack in the rear to feed a pair of Logitech Desktop Z-200 desktop speakers. Works just fine.

    I would like to now add the following:

    Have an output from a radio (Home Patrol scanner) that has a Line-Out
    Jack. Would like to feed this into pc, and be able to select either the normal
    pc audio (which now is outputted on the green jack) OR this new input.

    a. What input jack on the pc should I use for the radio’s output (Line Out) ?
    I’m thinking the BLUE one. Is this correct ?

    I would want it to also, of course, be outputted on the green jack to the desktop speakers.

    b. I looked all over of every pc screen I could think of, but could find no option
    for selecting (switching) between the pc normal output, and this new extra
    audio input.

    Where and how do I do this selectio/switching, please ? Caveats in doing ?


    Much thanks,
    Bob

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    As per the description, we understand that laptop screen goes black when it's connected to TV through HDMI cord.

    Share this information to assist you better.

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Have you installed all the pending updates?
    This issue could occur if the display drivers are not compatible with the computer. I suggest you to download and install the display drivers for the computer.

    Check the Windows updates for any latest driver updates.

    Check in Windows updates if any driver updates are available. If so, install the same and check if it helps.

    a) Press “Windows Logo” + “Q” keys from the keyboard.

    b) Type “Updates” in the search bar and click on “Install optional updates” from the left pane.

    c) From the “Windows Update” window, click on “Check for Updates” on the top left corner to receive a fresh list of updates and install all the updates listed there.3

    If we don't have the display drivers for the current operating system, you can download the drivers and install them in compatibility mode. Please follow the below link to know how to install drivers in compatibility mode:

    Thank you.
