RE: SIGMATEL PROBLEMS ON DELL LAPTOP

[Judy W]

I spent $60 on a usb sound card and tried a p c m c i a and nothing worked.
I like the machine. Try to find a machine with realtek audio. Test them
because I tried the acer and it was some better.

At this time, I am trying a sager midern. It was an expensive and
frustrating experience. If you just bought the Dell, try to return it. I
sold mine to a Braille transcriber who never uses microphones. I think we
will see more sigmatel because they have a merger going with realtech...

It was an expensive learning experience for me! (smile)

Hi Judy,

Thanks for the interesting reply.  Do you know, by any chance, if using a
USB soundcard would fix it?  If so, any thoughts on something basic?

 Thanks.

I sold my Dell with sigmatel because all recordings were muffled and it
wasn't working with Skype or other programs. The Dell support teams admitted
that sigmatel had a problem. The output is good, but input is very
problematic. The web cam microphones sounded better than any of the external
mics we tried, but they kept dropping out..

It was a shame I had to sell it, the xps was a light and fast machine...

If you google the problem, you will see it mentioned as a known problem.

HTH,
Judy

HI, I've been having problems recording using audacity and Sigmatel on my
Dell XPS M1210 dell laptop.  Audacity records the source, but there's what I
gather is called a "noise gate".  The effect is that certain quiet sounds
are missed.

Help please.
