    can't help you on the sound issue since never had it , but the skipping issue .. well I almost painted my laptop in blue and throwed it to the ocean but then I found out why..
    since vista doesn't have the synaptics driver (the built-in mouse) every little touch to the pad considered as a mouse click/drag , so just be careful with your hands while typing , in windows XP there is a proper driver for the pad which handles those random touches quite well.

    which sound driver are you loading? Be sure to install the driver from dell.com support site.
