@flashilingI’m not exactly sure what you mean by a green and red/pink cable...I have determined that my front headphone and mic ports are 3 pin so it makes sense that I can’t get both audio and mic at the same time (which I’m confident I can fix with a Y splitter). But it doesn’t explain the the driver not being able to install.

@flashiling I just have a regular 3.5mm jack headset with a built in mic. I got on the phone with a Microsoft tech support person and let them do Quick Connect for over an hour and they still couldn’t install the latest official one. He ended up installing a seemingly old Realtek hd audio driver from a site I haven’t ever used which was a bit worrying...I read the link you sent and I’ll be trying the troubleshooting steps to see if any of them work. I think a possibility as to why I have this error issue is because the boot ssd came out of a laptop and already had an audio driver on it? Maybe

@flashilinghere are some pictures of the error, device manager, and of windows not detecting the headphones as an input. In device manager there isn't anything besides high definition audio device and Nvidia high definition audio. I assume it's because I don't have any Realtek audio driver...? thanks for the help

@flashiling its a hyper x cloud stinger headset. I tried a turtle beach headset too and the same thing happens. windows doesn't recognize anything besides bluetooth devices as input or output @flashiling I have a laptop that has a Realtek HD audio driver on it. could it be a viable option to transfer the .exe file from there and install it in the other computer?

Alienware laptop shows no signs of life

parrotperil I have 2 of the same AC adapters and they both work so I know that's not the problem. I've had the battery unplugged a few times and there is a bit of slop with the battery connector socket on the mobo so the bent pin was probably my fault. I tested the DC jack without the battery plugged in, and still nothing. I found a new DC cable on ebay for 20$ so I'll try that with and without the battery plugged in and see what happens. I took some clearer pictures of the battery connector socket and the internal DC socket. (The arrow is pointing to the pin I straightened). Thanks -

My alienware 13 r3 was working fine until it randomly wouldn't power on. no lights, fans, or display. There is a distinct electrical buzz and a burning smell when I plugged in the power cord which led me to believe it was a short on the motherboard. but upon further investigation after I removed the internal DC cable, the power jack is the only place It smelled burnt. also, one of the pins where the battery plugs into the motherboard was bent to the left, but don't know if that contributed to the problem
