Does anyone else find the headphone jack on the 9300 incredibly too loud? (when using headphones)
I have to turn the volume to its lowest level and I STILL have to turn it down in game menu's. It sounds great (quality-wise)...with the exception of hearing it "click" every now and then. Its a sound similiar to what happens when you plug your speakers into a computer with the power on. Just a little pop/clicky sound.

Anyone have any suggestions? I heard someone on a different forum mention that they did not use Dell's audio drivers...Anyone know what other drivers would work?
Thanks!

I have the master volume turned down to almost nothing...and the wave, synth, etc are at the half way point.

I just formatted this thing the other day and was hoping the new audio drivers from Dell would make a difference. It didnt. Still seems alot louder than it should be.
