If you read further down they have a claim to have a new version listed but when you go to the site it is still showing 2.15. :huh:

I can't use VLC or it will blow my internal speakers out according to dell.

Yeah right. They were claiming since a while that they fixed the problem. But the release with the fix is still not available.

That sounds strange. Does Dell have any logic for that.

I could possibly still use VLC at low volume.

That sounds like a poor excuse for their cheap speakers. I have VLC on all my laptops - even the smallest 10" and 11.5" and never had a problem. But of course I don't blast music at maximum loudness.

I'm running a Dell & I use VLC all the time. No problems here.

Me, too, no problem with VLC on Dells and Customs at normal listening volumes, occasionally higher.
