#BAD DIRECT SOUND DRIVERS M6700 HOW TO#
He called me first and I talked him through how to find the model number. My cousin almost bought a new Macbook at his school store on sale for $900.

So basically, the prices are high because a bunch of computer neophytes (most Mac users) are buying 2-5 year old laptops thinking they are 1 year old. (The label with the model number is hidden underneath the battery, and you have to cross-reference it with wikipedia since Apple's page of model numbers hasn't been updated in a year and a half.) You buy a used "Macbook" off of craigslist and you pretty much need a tech guru with you to figure out what year it was made. They're all called Macbook or Macbook Pro. Solandri - Monday, Decemlink The high resale value is because Apple makes it virtually impossible to tell which year the laptop was made.Noise levels are very good, with the notebook basically inaudible at idle and fan noise being a low, quiet whoosh under load. The CPU runs nice and toasty, but the M6700 is actually very effective at keeping the K5000M cool. Keep in mind that we're working with a combined TDP of roughly 155W on the CPU and GPU in this system when you take a look at the thermals below. Thankfully, the Dell Precision M6700's beefy cooling system keeps the notebook running both reasonably cool and quiet. The M6700's battery life actually isn't that bad given that it's a workstation notebook, owing at least somewhat to both Ivy Bridge's frugal power consumption and Kepler's superior idle power compared to Fermi. Optimus-enabled notebooks are able to get at least a little more mileage. As a result, the M6700's battery life is going to be substantially lower with the PremierColor display, but I would actually expect M6700s with a standard TN panel to produce running time closer to the Alienware M17x R4, which has a smaller battery but similar silicon. While Optimus is functional on NVIDIA's mobile Quadro GPUs, the use of a 10-bit IPS panel (along with either a 120Hz panel or touchscreen) precludes it due to bandwidth limitations. As a result, the Dell Precision M6700 is forced to employ an oversized battery to compensate. AMD just got Enduro working well on their mobile GPUs, but it's not functioning on FirePro chips either. NVIDIA's Optimus has been thriving for years now on consumer GPUs, but Quadro chips still don't benefit from it. Where these workstations are still lagging substantially behind their consumer counterparts is in their power management technology.

Unfortunately due to issues with ColorEyes Display Pro I'm unable to confirm whether or not it can truly produce the entire AdobeRGB1998 color gamut like Dell claims it can, but honestly I believe it can.įrankly it's a beautiful display and anecdotally it's on par with the DreamColor display-equipped EliteBook I currently have in house for testing, maybe even a step up due to Dell's PremierColor software which allows you to not only choose the color gamut you want to work with, but will even detect applications and adjust accordingly. The measurements are generally solid, with the PremierColor display at least offering a solid sRGB color gamut. Note that Dell includes PremierColor software that actually allows you to switch between different color gamuts, and it's a welcome feature. This produces a fine image, but it visibly loses a lot of the pop, saturation, and gamut of the display's default calibrations.

Please remember to mark "Accept as Solution" if this helps.For whatever reason, ColorEyes Display Pro just refuses to cooperate with the LG Philips IPS panel Dell uses in their Precision M6700 unless you calibrate at a Gamma of 1.8 instead of 2.2. To simply say thanks for my efforts to help, please click the "Thumbs Up" button. You could possibly visit this link: to try and resolve the issue if the sound is distorted with the headset also. If there is clear audio, No further troubleshooting is required. To isolate it correctly, you could connect a headset to the headset port of the unit to check for distortions. This could be a possible hardware issue with the speakers or the sound card.

It is a privilege to work with a technical specialist like yourself. Please let me know if the drivers were updated from the HP support site in your reply. Commendable job on installing the audio drivers. I understand that there are audio issues with your unit. Hi to the HP forums! It is a great way to engage, post questions and find resolutions by working with specialists in the HP community.
