 I just installed Vista x86 Business Premiuim on a Dell Dimension 4700 and i can't get the audio to work. I have tried a couple different realtek audio drivers with no luck. Anyone know where to go? Dell doesn't seem to have them on their site either.

they say they use either ADI 198x Integrated Audio, Sound Blaster® Live! 24-bit, or Sound Blaster Audigy™2. they also recommend using "msinfo32.exe" (enter in "run"):
QUOTE 1. Click the Start button and then click Run.
The Run window appears. 2. Type the following text in the Open: text box: msinfo32.exe 3. Click the OK button. The System Information window appears. 4. Under the System Summary menu on the left, click the plus sign (+) next to Components. A list of installed components appears. 5. Click to select Sound Device. The sound card is listed in the right pane next to Name. |
