Ok hi,

 

I've been given a DELL Dimension 8400  (fyi: had two original DVD drives) running Windows XP MCE 2005. It was given to me by a friend who thought it was totally broken and wanted his data salvaged, fair enough. It was running a heavily corrupted copy of Windows Vista. I re-installed XPMCE'05 today and was unable to install any sound device drivers (w/ the original C:\DELL\ folder). I enabled 'Onboard Audio' in the BIOS and then could install the SoundMAX Driver, which left me with a 'Multimedia Audio Controller' whining in the device manager that there was no drivers installed for it. No drivers from support.dell.com have helped either. So in the end, I am not able to get sound out of my computer.

 

I don't know if I'm out of my place or anything but I do fully appreciate any help in regards to this matter.

 

Thank you,
