    Hi.. I'm using e1705 with vista..

    I started using wireless router at home couple of weeks ago

    and I noticed that when I play music, some ticking sound comes out from

    the speakers..

    So I turned off my wireless and played music again and then it stopped.

    The sound is kinda like the sound when u pull out a microphone jack from an amp..

    I installed Xp and almost every drivers on both xp and vista as well but it didnt make any difference..

    I donno what the problem is...

    My wireless card is Dell Wireless 1500 802.11n Mini-Card

    Has anyone experienced this kind of prob before?

    Seems to me like you have a faulty headphone jack. If you search around the Dell forums you will see that many many inspirons have a similar problem that includes static and noises from their heaphone jack.
