Lets see now..... Don't know, but the mic came with the system. Don't know, but the soundcard came with the system. And.... If the spec's match, and the mic was provided by Dell, then I would say it's a Dell problem. If the specs don't match, and yet Dell supplied the mic, then again it's a Dell issue. Don't forget, if this is a recently bought system and no matter what, Dell hasn't resolved your problem to your satifaction, you have 30 days to just return the system.
