Audio driver is not up to date, MaxxAudio Pro, Inspiron 7567

Thanks, that worked for the Maxx Pro app, and now my audio jack port is working again.

Now I have annother issue, lately I been listening a pop/cracking from the speakers (I don't know how to describe it) when any media is playing, It sounds on the headphones too and sometimes youtube's videos lags or "scratch" with that sound too, and It happens too when I plug the charger to the laptop

Many folks have had problems with an optional driver called SmartByte.  If you are running that, then see if you have the latest driver installed.

If you have the latest driver and you still have the problem, uninstall the driver.  I never showed it installed on my system until I did it manually to confirm the problem, so not sure why these systems are being plagued by this software.

Yeah I have that thing installed  called SmartByte Diagnostics/Drivers and services, It installed it self with the latest windows update, I read that's something that Microsoft is pushing into its system, I will uninstall them and see if it works

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, however on the XPS 13 9370. To fix, I downloaded the latest audio drivers manually from the Dell site after auto-detect of my PC, then I also used the .exe to open the app store and install Maxx Audio Pro (this seemed to leave two copies of Maxx on my PC??). Anyway, I did it to fix Maxx Audio Pro not recognizing other inputs, however now it REALLY doesn't recognize OR PLAY through anything except internal speakers. 

When opening MAP (new version) error is "Audio driver is not up to date, please check for windows update", which I have done.

Now MAP not able to do or recognize anything. THANKS for your help!

UPDATE: So I re-installed the two audio drivers for my system based on Dell Website, which brought back the original Maxx Audio Pro application, (so now there are two). Note that the new version still shows the same error but the original version DID WORK THE FIRST TIME I PLUGGED SPEAKERS IN, but NOT AFTER THAT. So basically, it gave me the option to select speakers, but once I closed the app and opened again, it was back to the same problem.

So, when I reinstall Realtek (A09) driver, it gives me one chance in MAP to set output device, HOWEVER, now I notice that even when I can change it (and the equalizer), it does NOT change the sound at all. It's like "enhancements" are disabled. Note that under SOUNDS in control panel I do NOT have option for "disable all enhancements" as this seems to be removed by these drivers? At this point, I'm totally confused and have tried everything, in various orders : )

Essentially, I still cannot select anything except internal speakers (even though I can in the popup, once I'm in it is still only showing internal speakers) and any 'enhancements' I make (like turning bass or equalizer on or off) make absolutely no difference. 

Also, the MAP version I downloaded from Microsoft store is the same as the version on my XPS 9570, while the 0370 version seems different, is this right? Now I have two on the 13" but the new one throws the error mentioned above.

Note also in Device Manager / Sounds I do not have "Realtek High Def Audio", only "Intel(R) Display Audio" and "Realtek Audio".

Jim Coats, any ideas mate??? THANKS !

UPDATE: installing older driver seems to have fixed things:
