I have been having trouble with a friends PC. I recently did a clean install of Windows XP SP3 and the only problem is that the audio is skipping and crackling. I am able to fix it by uninstalling the IDE channels and rebooting. This only works for a little while, if I reboot the problem comes back. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Have you installed the drivers for the integrated audio? They should be on the Dell site. If the problem doesn't go away, consider investing in a cheap PCI sound card. You should be able to get one for under $10.

Was the sound skipping and crackling before you worked on it?
 
I did install the drivers direct from the Dell website. The machine was not skipping and crackling before I worked on it. The only difference is that the machine was running XP service pack 2 prior to me working on it. Now it is running service pack 3.
