Contact Dell while your system is still new.  If it doesn't
work now but did then, basically you've broken it.

... and?

A Pentium 100 sold for a few hundred $$$ a decade ago, do

Random observations have to be narrowed down to specific
causation.  If it pops/crackles/etc while doing other simple
things like listening to an MP3, or recording when another
card and mic and app did so fine, you may've then isolated
the cause a bit.
