Any truth about this post from another site about the xps 1210

However, the next problem I did not found out until about 18-20 days (I denote this because I found out that I had 21 days to reconfigure or return). Dell worked with me for about two days and did not know why inboard media recording was not there! Finally, telling me that INTEL turn-off this feature because of the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copyright protection issues and it effects all pc's produce INTEL. Well, I could not believe this! So, now the only way to record my internet streams or my own purchase cd's is use a single line microphone to microphone cable - inserting one end into the speaker out and the other into the microphone in; or purchase a usb sound card - which is ultimately what I have to do. I am very disappointed with both DELL and INTEL if this is the case!

 

Most integrated sound cards I've come across don't have a "wave" or "what u hear" in the recording sound control. I figure this is usually only included in higher level cards (Audigy, X-Fi, etc...). To rip CDs though you can always use WMP, iTunes, or another media program to pull songs off of CDs burnt or purchased.
