    This may not be a solution. But a quick google finds another older thread where people had mixed luck either uninstalled or installing overtop of the existing version to resolve this problem.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m17x/553059-r3-idt-audio-control-panel-error.html

    I also found another person with a different brand laptop using IDT software whom claims uninstalled "IDT Audio", restarting, and installing the latest from manufacturers website is best resolution for this issue.

    Audio drivers from dell found here --> http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/ca/en/cadhs1/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=Y037W&FileId=2731102525&productCode=alienware-m17x-r3&urlProductCode=False
