But it works and life is full of compromises.ĭang it, I spoke too soon. At that point I can once again bring up the browser and YouTube and continue playback using the speakers. But I discovered this: if before unplugging the headphones I stop the YouTube playback and exit out of the browser (turn off the audio source completely), I can then successfully make the headphone-to-speaker switch while on the desktop. If I unplug the headphones I lose all sound (sound does not switch back to speakers). For example, if I'm listening to something on YouTube and I plug in the headphones the sound switches to headphones. I have found a klunky way around the worst aspect of this.

I'm hoping that the last part of your reply comes true - that perhaps some day Win 10 will allow the old IDT driver to work properly, or perhaps a future Win 10 driver will recognize my microphone. Therefore, I have already been emotionally preparing myself in the event that a new driver will never be produced. Yeah, I believe IDT was acquired by some outfit by the name of Tempo. Thank you so much for your lengthy and thoughtful reply. The usb jacks run off of the Windows native usb audio driver and so not dependent on the IDT driver.

Or get an inexpensive usb audio jack for the mic. At some point Win10 might let the IDT driver work correctly. You could switch back and forth between the native and IDT drivers.

Meanwhile you have a couple of workarounds. MS ought to implement support for the jack but there is no indication that it will. The Windows native audio driver does not support external mic jacks. If I use the built-in Win 10 driver ("High Definition Audio Device") I can hear speakers/headphone, and switching between speakers and headphones works fine but my laptop microphone does not work ("Not plugged in").

Even when IDT was the vendor I believe that the Win7 drivers were the final versions - no 8 or 8.1 versions I think. Dell itself does not write audio drivers. I don't know its current status but pretty sure the acquiring company is not going to be upgrading old IDT software. Over a year ago IDT was acquired by another company. Dell has switched from IDT to Realtek as the audio vendor so probably no longer has a contract with IDT, if IDT even exists anymore. I doubt that it is possible for a couple of reasons. I've been hoping that maybe Dell might find it in the goodness of their hearts to come up with an updated IDT 92HDxxx driver. It was not Dell but MS that claimed that Win10 has most of the necessary drivers and if not then the Win7 and Win8.1 drivers would work. It's pretty nervy of a MS forum member to say that Dell is responsible for making Windows work. nonetheless I've been hoping that maybe Dell might find it in the goodness of their hearts to come up with an updated IDT 92HDxxx driver.

I understand that the Latitude E5520 does not appear on the Dell "Computers Tested for Upgrade to Windows 10" list. Running the latest BIOS, chipset, and major drivers. Check with Dell Support, their on-line documentation andĭrivers, and ask in their forums about any known issues.
