Stuttering/Buzzing Sound During Audio/Video Playback

Pony500,

You're Not Screwed if you have the DELL Win7 Restore Disc, That has Windows 7 On it, as a matter of fact you would want that one over a Windows 7 OS Disc from a Retailer because it is designed for your system. It will reinstall Windows and all the Drivers, if it is the Older Win7 SP1 restore disc, then it will not have that "Corrupted" Driver from MS on it, That didn't come out till late spring this year.

yesmonkee,

The Driver We had available a while back was removed from Intel, by Intel, apparently because of such high hits on that particular link, when you click on that link your talking about now, it comes up "Unavailable" and only gives them the choice of a PC Scan, which with DELL PC's it is MUTE to even try, you get the "Unrecognized" and Unknown Errors on the Scan due to DELL's Wrapping of the System.

Thanks,

Got it, thanks pony500.

Thanks for the explanation Mick.  And I guess for a lot of you, thanks for nothing Intel.

How did you uninstall Dell DataSafe?  It wants me to upgrade and there is a constant reminder. With at least 25-30 error messages of it not running properly. Please help!

I would think you could just uninstall it--that thing drove me nuts on my other computer, but it wasn't installed on the refurbished one that I got, but I'm sure you could uninstall it.  I have Carbonite and 3 external hard drives, so for me, I'm covered and don't need Dell Data Safe.

Tonnieb,

The Correct Way to Uninstall the Dell DataSafe is to remove it through the Add/Remove Programs for WinXP, or through Programs and Features in Win7.

Thanks,

Yes me too, will see over night, but its intermittent, cant win, do you surgest any type of music that might show it up before, their return phone call tommorrow,

Best of luck.  Not sure how optimistic I'd be about that suggestion though....

Ive just had a Dell   I T   on the phone over this noise, { I payed for extra guarentee arm and a leg} THEY SURGEST TURN OFF MC AFEE, FIRE WALL  it sometimes as issues,which I did ,see how it goes. let you chaps know.bobycat

Did you find a solution?

i got the hard disk replaced and did the complete reinstallation

i still have the same issue ur speakin about

i use a dell xps 501x

hmm..yea even i have mcafee installed.

i had to give up my laptop today as they told they would moniter it for a few days and let me know

will let you know if they fix my issue

Dell  I T,  over the phone,told me to  take off,   mc afee fire wall it as issues, will see how that goes let every one know, even Dell, still worried to be honest, big laught it came with the LAPTOP FROM THEM 15myhs of rubbise, thank you Dell, Norton here we go . bobycat

bobycat, for me, for some reason, the stutter/buzz occurs more when listening to online stuff, like You Tube, Netflix or online MP3's, although it occurs when listening to anything with sound, but when I was trying to demonstrate it for Dell support, I turned on a Netfix movie.

If you turn off your firewall, what protects the computer then?

Not really.  When I was having that issue, it was virtually every audio and video file I played.  Run some bids from YouTube.  You'll see soon enough whether it's 'resolved' or not....
