I have all the drivers loaded for XP except for the finger print reader. Laptop came as Vista Business and had sound when started up.
Blasted back to Windows XP , total format, loaded drviers "that are available" from dell site based on XP Pro and they are very limited.
STAC 92XX C-Major HD Audio is the on board sound card for the system and this is the driver loaded.
According to Dell tech support , this is the correct driver and obviously I loaded the XP version.
"1 313-5014 Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy " was taken from Packing slip of laptop for what came on it.
There are no yellow alerts in the system manager for bad drivers. BUT
Head phone jacks will make sound and Dell Diagnostics for Audio will make Laptop speakers make sound but alas, no souns from speakers while in normal windows XP mode. I am positive the speakers are not muted based on control panel settings and speakers in control panel were tried both set as laptop mono and stereo.
Has anyone out there any ideas on why this may be ??
