Audio Output
When I close the 
lid of my notebook, 
the display of the 
external monitor 
goes blank. 
By default, most notebooks go into Standby or Hibernate 
mode when the lid is closed.
To change this setting:
Open the Control Panel and select Power Options.
Windows Vista: Select Choose what closing the lid does on 
the left column. Select the When I close the lid, and then 
select Do nothing.
Windows XP: Select the Advanced tab. In the Power buttons 
section, under the option When I close the lid of my 
computer, select Do nothing. 
Problem
Possible Solution
I cannot hear 
anything through 
my notebook 
speakers and my 
built-in microphone 
does not work after 
connecting to the 
Dell Wireless Dock.
By default, most notebooks send the audio output to the 
Dell Wireless Dock when associated, thereby disabling 
your notebook’s built-in speakers and microphone.
To enable the speakers and microphone:
1
Open the UWB Radio and Host Settings window in 
the Wireless USB Manager.
2
Select Laptop to enable the speakers and microphone 
on your notebook.
NOTE: 
You must restart the application currently using the 
audio device to enable this change.
