Replacing the battery wouldn't hurt since you have it. The important
aspect is the system does not have enough power to service all the
devices now but it did before.
Getting a USB hub will only fix the symptom not the cause.
This symptom will probably be progressive. At some point the system
won't start up at all no matter what you do to compensate.

But, as I predicted on day 1, it likely has nothing to do with your
problem. You may not even need to replace the power supply if you
don't want. Just get an external powered USB hub (which isn't a bad
idea these days anyway).
No, low volume is likely an amplifier issue and amps are usually built
into the speakers. Try headphones to see if the output level is
normal.

When I unplug most of the USB devices computer starts up normally. If not,
I keep getting the low system voltage message, though now usually when I hit
F1 (as it says; to continue) it starts up. Have repeated this experiment 4
or 5 times now. Still haven't replaced the battery. Should I still replace
it with the Dell replacement I've got or does this mean it is the power
supply? Also, volume for speakers has been low for about a month. Would
this be a related problem?
