Hi Ron
I had the EXACT same problem with my new Dell Inspiron I5. It is a problem that can be fixed . The problem is two files: Wave Audio Services and Wave Audio Universal Services files installed by Dell. They are located in the Services list and are accessed with Services Manager. To go to the files: click on the Windows icon on the bottom toolbar, use "Search" at the top of the start window, type "services", select SERVICES App, find the two files, then disable them. W9MDB was kind enough to spend five hours locating these files creating the input codec issue.. The two files need to be disabled. For what ever reason, Dell is adding intermediate processing between the input codec and the apps using the input codec.
