Dell Optiplex 980 Desktop Internal Speaker plays & External Speakers
I have a Optiplex 980 desktop Intel 5 w/SSD and windows 7 Pro OS.
Strange thing about this computer's internal speaker that plays even with and while there are attached 2.1 speakers.
I use the Desktop's speaker icon in the sys tray at bottom right pocket of screen to adjust its volume control and then hand remote volume control on the Creative speakers.
Any ideas or recommends to rectify this problem would be appreciated. (I can go back to shop where i purchased the computer, and plan to do so, unless i find strategic fix in the meantime). But it's out of Warranty as far as online Dell's site tech recommended going in and physically removing the cable to the attached speaker from the motherboard. While that's not too difficult from the diagram she used, I didn't really feel eager to try that since it is new as far as from where i purhcased and my friend's Microsoft Certified. I desired Windows 7 and he installed that, removed Windows 10 but retail doesn't do that same courtesy which is why i chose to go to him when i needed new computer after my other desktop (TMI) was "rained on" through a leaky ceiling. There went solar keyboard too, it looked kind of funny with water in the panels. Just a little info. there that's not necessary. Sorry.
Thanks for any helpful info. if so.
BTW the computer's onboard audio's Realtek High Def. (driver).
