Warren,

I agreed that it was likely a driver issue until the beginning of your last paragraph.

One wrench I'll throw into the works- a couple of times a day, the Dell seems to freeze up from 1-5 seconds, separate and apart from anything audio related. The cursor will freeze. I've even seen the video wink out once.


That should not be happening. At all. Contact Dell. They have a problem with your unit.

The good news is Dell computers have excellent hardware diagnostic routines built-in. The bad news is you need to get them involved so they can coordinate with you what tasks they need to be performed to so they can identify and resolve their issue.
