 Please help. On my Dell Inspiron 1000, the audio has become wavy and
inconsistent. It's not noticeable if I just listen to the regular
Windows noises, but when I play music (on Winamp; Windows Media Player;
etc., doesn't matter which) The sound will fade in and out slightly,
get louder and softer throughout a song. It's kind of subtle, but
extremely noticeable to me. The same thing happens if I plug in
headphones or external speakers. It's definately not a speaker
problem- Dell tried replacing them already to no avail. A diagnostic
scan reveals no problems. Any suggestions/advice?

 Have you trashed the drivers and reinstalled them?

Yes. The drivers should be fine. The more I think about it, i think
it has to be a problem with the integrated sound card on the
motherboard. Does that sound right? A scan doesn't pick up anything,
but I still think it's got to be the hardware. I'm not sure how
thoroughly a diagnostic scan tests these things.
