I had this issue a couple of weeks ago. The diagnostics program could play sound through the main speakers so that wasn't the problem, however when in windows only the plugged in headphones would make a sound. After a bit of searching...

I had the same problem, tech support swapped out the ram and i installed the nvidia reference drivers rather than the dell ones for the 7900gtx (as the ram passed all diagnostics i thought it possible that the video ram was giving the...

thanks for the reply, so if it isn't a driver issue the obvious follow up question is "is it a hardware issue? i.e. are our cards faulty?" again, anyone else that could check and give a positive or a negative response would be...

Logitech have a bluetooth numberpad/mediapad that comes with the dinovo series of keyboards. I think you can buy the pad on it's own too, although it'd probably be a special order.

I've got all the latest drivers from the Dell website, have done a complete reinstall of windows MCE and am having trouble with playing back video. Everything's fine up until the point where I run video in windowed mode and then have...

That's what I thought, but installing Cineplayer (the stock Dell DVD software) doesn't seem to have installed a standard MPEG-2 decoder. I may have to install PowerDVD as well, although I'd rather not.
