I have a inspiron 9400 and have done this. It has gotten rid of the delay, however there is still periodic choppiness with all audio. I have been trying to get rid of this for days now and its getting really tiresome. Any ideas??

rhsc888,

That is the latest data I have. If I get anymore, I will post it.

Same situation here - intermittent "choppiness" during various audio apps.

Same with either R142667 or R147075. I've gone back to R142667 as it seems (?) marginally better.

someone suggested to me to disable my wireless to eliminate the problem, it actually worked but what does this mean, is it still a driver problem or a hardware problem?? Not much of a solution though if it means i can't be on the internet to listen to clean music or other audio.

I have a Dell 9100 with Sigmatel Audio. I found another forum that suggested the following:

Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound

Select Speakers/Headphones -> Properties

Select the Enhancements Tab

Select "Disable all enhancements"

This was a valid workaround for me, but I don't like to disable features to work around a problem. Hopefully, this will provide some information until a more robust solution can be posted.

Disabling all enhancements works! It corrected the audio playback choppiness and the delays between in starting songs.

System is Dell dimension 9150 with up to date vista sigmatel audio driver from the dell website

If I have "Disbable all enhancemets is ticked" then there is no delay between tracks BUT my rear speakers stop working.

If I have "Disbable all enhancemets is unticked" then there is a delay between tracks BUT my rear speakers work.

I have googled this to death and cant find how to stop the delay between tracks AND have all four speakers working.

any ideas?

I just downloaded winamp (free) and I am able to play all channels with zero delay. Hope this helps.
