You could try sticking some other thing in it and maybe that will fix it.

The audio card on your computer can detect what is plugged into the
different audio ports. It does this to try and make configuring your
computer for something like 5.1 or 7.1 audio output easier. To make
sure it is configuring things they way -you- want it to be configured,
it gives you the pop-up to verify it guessed correctly.

You should be able to turn that back on in the Audio configuration
portion of the Control Panel in Windows. Since I don't know which
Inspiron model you have I can't give you the exact location at this
time, but it is almost guaranteed to be a checkbox that says somethign
like, "prompt me to verify connected device" or something similar.

If you have other questions on this I'll be happy to answer them.

I have the EXACT same problem on the same machine. Although, my Inspiron
model is the 6400
