You are absolutely correct. I do run spreadsheets and other software all the time and never observed problems; these programs were probably being stepped on too but they were not noticable. . . . only when playing audio did I notice the problem.

I am as confident as I can be (99%+) that the Dell software was the root cause.

And several days ago I re-enabled Intel SpeedStep and my system is still running fine.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
