I currently have 6 slots for USB, 4 in the back two in the front.
Running on these are keyboard,mouse and sagem modem for tiscali broadband.
When i tried to install my speakers a message came up telling me that there wasnt enough bandwidth to support the speakers.
A dialogue box came up with percentages of bandwidth being used by the devices the modem was at 79% others were 10 %.
How do i fix this problem,as i cant get any sound what so ever and it stops my songs on itunes from even moving along.
Any help would be greatfully received.

I have tried plugging speakers into front USB still no sound.
Surely if you have six ports it should be able to support the six,it isnt as if im running anything heavy duty
This wasnt really advice was it.
Have a look on dells website, i have found excellent information there in the past. Or give dell a phone.
Have a look at this page and chooose your system....

Although it does work, USB isn't really for connecting modems and networking.
There's no way that a modem could eat up anything like 79% of bandwidth on a USB2 system. That would be a good 300 Megabits per second.
It sounds like there's some strange problem and it's only running on USB1.
I can't think of anything to try apart from just swapping everything round onto different ports.
Now my long thoughts over I seriously doubt the above is happenning anyway you'd have to be maxing the connection out anyway (not likely with tiscali). Try visiting the windows update website and clicking on the custom updates and checking if there are any updates on there for the chipset/mobo whatever. . . se if you can identify the maker and look on their website for updates failing that like others said call dell
