Last but not the least, since we can't get any configuration data on the motherboard there is no way to determine which is true, except by physical examination. Two, BOTH Creative and Intel ae known users of Sigmatel chipsets. One Dell says that's an optional item, i.e. It doesn't say if it's in a slot or onboard.

As you can see it implies that there is a Creative X-Fi sound system install.

There is more information in that one PDF than there is on the WHOLE Dell site, on your motherboard. I actually got more information from this executive summary: I've tried to dig up some, anything, just a bit of information on this motherboard. I, also, noted that no sound device has been installed. It means that its designed by Intel, ONLY. This does NOT mean that it's not a Sigmatel chipset. Your audio is identified as 'Intel(R) High Definition Audio Controller (Sound)'. You do great work.Ĭlick to expand.Thank you for the report. I've kept the original Dell drivers and applied those too, but no luck.Īny help would be much appreciated guys. I have applied the Dell recommended BIOS update, chipset update (in fact all the updates they had relating to my configuration), and applied the relevant automatic Windows updates.īefore reinstalling XP (I have gone from XP Home to XP Pro) the Sigmatel drivers were working correctly. I know it's Sigmatel though, because Sigmatel Audio appeared in the system tray on my previous installation. (most important thing!): The Original Configuration (as per Dell website when I enter my service tag) says the following relating to my audio hardware: Audio Integrated HDA 7.1 Dolby Digital. 'This system does not support the driver you are attempting to install.' When installing the driver, my PC reboots, continues the driver installation then comes up with the following error: I have entered my service tag number on the Dell site, identified my correct configuration and found the recommended drivers (as per advice in other threads here relating to reinstalling Dell Sigmatel drivers), but have had no success. I've just reinstalled XP on my Dell XPS 700 and can't get the audio driver working.
