    Hey... I have a dell XPS m1210, and I'm having a problem with the sound. When I play certain games (like civ IV and lord of the rings online) the sound stutters every few seconds. The only way I can fix it is to use the bluetooth headphones included with the laptop. Anyone know the problem?

    This is pretty common with the M1210. There are different fixes, but what worked for me was to disable the internal microphone.

    Try doing a forum search for this issue, or even a Google search. Like I said, it's a common problem. I believe I disabled the mic in the sound settings, but I'm on Vista now and I don't remember exactly how it was set up on XP.
