(Do you now know why you are in this thread?)

What about the Beta driver?  Supposing it works, what about other
soundcards?

Supposing the Beta driver works, that is, the cause of the problem is
the soundcard driver, why then Dell has been blaiming the problem on
OS incompatibility and conflict with multimedia part of Windows?

Wonder why then Dell replaced soundcards and motherboard?

Wonder why then Dell blames the problem on software settings?

Why then Dell tech support jerk around customers?

    Dell tech support called tonight to see if my system now worked
    after 3 replacement sound cards and a new motherboard. It doesn't.

    Dell "Tech support" has "escalated" my problem with the low mic
    input levels and had told me the card will not work with my
    system. I don't know if it won't work with all 8400s or that's
    just their way to say they don't know.

    The Dimension support group called me back today saying it is
    obviously a software setting issue since the Audigy is the "best"
    card made. I explained their "expert" didn't know what she was
    talking about.

   Well, I just installed my second Audigy 2ZS replacement card (a
   refurbished one, according to the package), and not surprisingly
   the issue remains exactly the same...

   I told the support that another replacment likely wouldn't help,
   but what do they care.... He claimed he is not authorized to send
   another type of soundcard (and did not want to put me in contact
   with someone who was).

    I'm still having the same issue.  The Dell tech support (based in
    India I guess) does not reply anymore on email (even though I
    politely remind them). I got a reply to call the usual support
    phone number and want me to start all over again, as part of the
    wearing out strategy.
