Audio Problems
Hey, I turned on my computer today and I went on WMP and listened to some music. Halfway through a song the volume started going louder and softer non stop without me touching a thing. I tried troubleshooting by deleting the drivers and then reinstalling it but that didnt work. Btw its an integrated soundcard with sigmatel drivers or something and its a Dell Dimenson E520. Anyone know any solutions??

It sounds like it is the speakers. Not much you can do to fix them as almost all are sealed and you would have to destroy the case just to get inside.

Actually, its not the speakers because I tried it on my other computer running the same integrated sound card and the same drivers on Windows Vista and the Volume controller on the bottom right of the task bar was on 100% and the knob on the speakers were on about a third and it sounded fine.
Any suggestions on what to do now?

1. Reinstall the Intel chipset drivers HERE These drivers are for the various Intel chips on the motherboard and also define what is on or attached to the motherboard. (When doing a clean install the sequence is (1) Install Windows (2) Install chipset drivers (3) install device drivers, such as the sound).
2. Reinstall the SigmaTel drivers HERE
If this doesn't fix it, you are looking at either (or both) 1 - a complete reinstall or 2 - a defective sound module and if that is the case it will take a new motherboard to fix it.
