Audio on Dell Inspiron sounding muffled?

[Dell Inc.]

Amy,

You can click the link below, choose your system and download the audio drivers for your system. You may also want to go to start -run- and type in MSCONFIG. Click the startup tab to see if there may be some program or programs causing the sound to be muffled. Example would be some newly installed software, any codecs you may have also download. If there are any you can uncheck them and restart the computer.
You can uninstall the driver and reinstall it from the link below.
