    Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my m17x webcam audio. It works fine some times, but most of the time, when recording audio or videochatting, the audio becomes completely garbled and robotic sounding; is this a known issue with a known fix?

    No issues here.

    Check your driver and if running the stock, update it to the current driver:

    Vista 64:
    ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/R230621.exe

    Check your mic settings as well. You may need to adjust the gain. If on Win7, you might want to try the default microsoft driver (HD AUDIO) and not install the IDT driver.
