Other than using the Realtek audio driver from your notebook's support page, unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

Hi Paul. 🙂

 

The computer you helped me rebuild is working great. I want to thank you once again!

 

Now, rather than open a whole new thread I want to upgrade a Dell Inspiron 17R 5721 Laptop. I want to replace the hard drive, will a Seagate Barracuda Pro 1TB 7200RPM 2.5" Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM049) fit it?

 

Also I want to upgrade the RAM from 8gb to 16gb. Will a pair of 8gb work for that. For example: KUESUNY 16GB Kit (8GBX2) DDR3L-1600 Sodium RAM, PC3L-12800/PC3L-12800s Memory 204 Pin 1.35V/1.5V CL11 Non-ECC Unbuffered 2RX8 Dual Rank for Laptop Notebook

Hi:

 

What I suggest you do is to copy and paste your question on the Dell Inspiron notebook support forum and no doubt someone there should be able to help you...

 

Inspiron - Dell Community

 

Here is the memory that Crucial recommends for your notebook...

 

Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | dell | inspiron laptops/notebooks | Inspiron 17R (5721) | Crucial.com

 

Why not install a 2.5" SSD instead of another mechanical hard drive?

Hi Paul. 🙂 Okay I've got an issue. I purchased the hard drive you recommended but when I drive to install my flash drive of mt windows OS I get this error message:

 

Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On efi SYSTEMS, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.  Got any ideas?
