    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if any of you out there was encountering problems with the Sigmatel drivers for the XPS M1210 running on Windows Vista. After installing the driver set, there is a very noticeable delay between double-clicking on an .mp3 file and it actually playing (about 10 seconds). Also when I open folders, there is a delay between the actual mouse click and the "click" sound playing.

    Uninstalling the drivers seems to work, but then I lose the ability to hook the laptop up to my X-530 Logitech speakers. It's like I can have either or, here. Anyone else run into similar issues? And if so, how did you resolve them?

    Thanks.

    I had some similar issues on my 1505.

    Go to Sound>Speakers/Headphones>Enhancements>Disable all enhancements

    This seems to fix the problem for many people.

    robbirzell, you Notebook Guru, thanks a bunch. Yep, sure enough, that solved the problem. I initially thought that would have no effect, seeing as though I had no enhancements checked off, but what do you know.

    Really tired of those mother****ers on Dell and their SIGMATEL STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio. Tried everything, the "latest" version they have on their site (6.10.0.5511, A04) is absolutely capped. That really sucks, that's incredible how, paradoxically, as we advance in time, we go back in functionality with the guys in Dell. We may be back to the stone age in some years.

    Tried downloading LG's notebook drivers, the 95mb one would **** everything (even sound playback), and the other ones simply do nothing.

    As i said, as a home user, i'm really tired of these. I don't see it logical paying more than 1000€ to people who wants you being unable to do something everybody can except Dell clients.
