Audio

First, make sure the Integrated Audio is enabled in the BIOS (Setup). 

Second, when you reinstalled, did you install the Intel Chipset drivers?  They MUST be installed BEFORE installing sound drivers. 

The correct reinstall is (1) Install Windows (2) Install Chipset Drivers (3) Install Device Drivers such as the Sound, Video, etc.

Just to add a bit - apparently the IDT driver came from Microsoft update, but it will not work on the 9200 - you need the original Sigmatel driver from Dell.     Uninstall the IDT driver, reboot, and don't let Microsoft update any of your drivers -  follow Fireberd's instructions (chipset, audio, video, etc.) using just the drivers from Dell (either from the downloads page or from the resource CD).

Currently in device manager the following is displayed:

- audio codecs

- audio codecs

- legacy audio drivers

- legacy video capture devices

- media control devices

- sigmatel high definition audio codec (location 65535: internal high definition audio bus - this device is working properly)

- sigmatel high definition audio codec (location: on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System - the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)) - yellow exclamation mark appears

- sigmatel high definition audio codec (location 0: the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)) - yellow exclamation mark appears

how do i resolve the last two items above please?
