XPS with SB Card Screeking noise
I have a Dell XPS420 PC that was delivered 11/20/07. I selected the SB X-Fi Xtreme Music Sound Card as a 4100.00 Upgrade. Turns out the Sound card in my PC is NOT The Music Card, its a Model SB0770. Dell has been unable to find this Sound card at dell on Creative. It is not only a a mystery why a different Sound card was installed then the one that shows on my Invoice, its also a mystery why doing research the Card in my PC cannot be found at any site.
Several people have reported this switch and also that occasionally they hear a loud 3 to 4 second screech. I have also experienced this noise and would like to know if others with this same build from Dell have hear the same Noise.

I ran Windows Updates and one of my optional updates was for my XtremeMusic card. The only problem I had was speaker noise when programs opened and that solved it. Well, that was a problem on 1 of my XPS 420's. The other XPS with the Xtrememusic card did not have this problem. Of course, it was built after the date of the drivers located by VISTA update.
