If the problem is Windows settings adjustment, why then Dell Techs advise these?
so i contacted Dell tech support they advised me to uninstall the soundcard and reinstall it. I did that and it made no difference.
They told me to uninstall the windows sound recorder and reinstall it, that made no difference either,
they told me to uninstall the whole of windows multimedia I did that and it made no difference
A Dell tech wanted to reinstall the multimedia part of xp. When I asked why, the Dell tech said there's possible conflict. I asked why then Dell shipped out systems with possible -- known -- conflict.
Dell tech support insisted I reformat my hard disk and reinstall everything.
