Post by: squall_01 on August 31, 2009, 01:30:17 PM
Wasnt sure where too put this cause it orginally worked.  I went too there site an got the driver for it an I think that we probably have a copy but it still wont play anything.  speakers work an I tried ear phones cant figure out why?  Its been like that for a good while, dell dimension 4100.

It has not been a month since this topic was opened.  Put down the pipe and step away from it.

Ok exactly what site did you go to and what drivers did you get?

By now you should know what kind of info is needed.

Before you reply saying that all the info is in another thread let me go ahead and stop you by saying no one here (with the exception of maybe Smezekitty) is going to go back thru your older post to help you with this one so either keep it all in the same post or add the relevant information to this one.

Travel to Dell's site and enter the Service Tag # from the back of the machine...
All your drivers will then be listed...

And ? ?

Dell's are finicky about Drivers...you should be using ONLY Dell drivers if in fact that machine is a Dell...

Or is it a machine you used to install XP with a Dell OEM CD ? ?
That would explain the predicament...

I have to disagree with that Patio. I have a dozen Dell computers currently between home & work (and have been using Dell Systems for more than 15 years) and I always update the drivers from the OEM web sites. The only things I download from Dell are bios updates.

However, in this case I do agree that's where he should start.

See Quantos...you failed to remember you need to live in his world to know the timeline of things...
I thought you were up to speed on this.

Sometimes Drivers are dependent on having the correct MBoard chipset drivers installed correctly...
Perhaps you could try re-installing the MBoard chipset drivers and then re-installing the sound drivers...

Just a thought but you've got nothing to lose at this point.

Seeing as how squall is no longer a member, we might as well lock this.  We could probably clear up a lot of server space by deleting all of his topics.
