dammit dell

"Is there anyone who is not happy with the audio quality of the E6500? I have found that even through high quality headphones, the audio quality is very tinny and lacks proper equalization. If anyone has managed to sort the problem out, it would be great if you can share." http://en.community.dell.com/forums/t/19235508.aspx

I'm pretty mad about this because these awful IDT audio drivers are pretty much to blame for this. the fix? uncheck the mysterious "PC Spk Mute" button in the volume control panel. apparently this setting disables the on-board laptop speakers, and unintuitively, makes headphone/external sound a billion times better. I listened to music for months with the bass turned up to try to compensate for the horrible sound.
