    To all Studio 15 owners who have reverted back to Windows XP,

    I was browsing wickmanstudios' website and someone posted a link to a newer IDT audio driver that does support mic boost. The sound quality is still not good as IDT and Dell never made an official driver for Win XP, but for those who absolutely need to use the built-in microphones of their S15 on XP, it's a good addition.

    I know the sound quality is not good so YMMV, but I hope you find it useful.
