Since formatting I cannot get the dell sigmatel drivers to pickup the soundcard, so ive err got no sound on my laptop.

Any idea why magically the drivers and soundcard dont work?

HD Audio Bus driver has to be installed before installing sound drivers nowadays, thats your culprit!

Either google "KB888111" or get the file off of Realtek`s HD Audio drivers, install it and then install Dell`s SigmaTel drivers.

Yeah, run cpuz > check type of mobo > install mobo drivers

Remember you having a similar problem some time ago ;)

Me? Problem? Never :P

Anyway, since Toss is talking about a laptop, the "yeah, search mobo drivers" thing is a bit different. You search drivers by your laptop model not motherboard name/model.

My Dell and other Dells besides that have SigmaTel audio and its adjustment features (there aren't any besides volume) suck hard :)

I was replying to you but referring to tosspot :P And tbh it doesnt matter if you use dell site or mobo drivers, both should do fine.

exactly, since the audiocard is most likely on board.
