I'm getting static, and a high pitched beeping sounds out of my laptop now. Through both the speakers, and the headphone port. I've always had this problem since I had it, but it was barely noticable until now. Also, all the sounds that come out are really muffled.

Anyone have any fixed? I've already checked the volume control to make sure it's not maxed, and tried reinstalling the Sigmatel drivers.

Chances are i'll have to send this to Dell to fix :(
