Dell Dimension 4600 Multi Media controller driver for windows 7

Hi,

I have researched and found that the latest drivers available for the onboard sound card are for Windows XP. Let us try and install the XP drivers and Run the program as administrator in XP compatibility mode. This process can also work on Windows 7 operating system. Also please confirm the operating system installed on the computer (windows 7 32bit/64bit).

Download the drivers for audio follow the link mentioned below: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/dimension-4600?driverId=K4JGP&osCode=WW1&fileId=2731107785

Please follow the instructions mentioned below:

1. Download and save the driver installation file on the Desktop.
2. 2.      Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties/Compatibility Tab. Select the appropriate options in from the list in the following image.
3. Click Apply/OK
4. Right Click the file and select the Run As Administrator option to install.

Did all this to the letter and got a message saying that this driver is not supported by this operating system

Hi,

Let me know when you go in device manager what do you see under other devices (if available)

Please confirm the operating system installed on the computer windows 7 (home premium, professional or ultimate (32bit/64bit).

Under other device It has "Multimedia audio controller" with a yellow exclamation mark through it I have tried so many drivers so far but none of them work I am running Window 7 Home Premium SP1

Until you install the CHIPSET r140595.exe DRIVERS its not going to properly enumerate PCI devices like the sound.

r140595.exe

For AUDIO install VISTA drivers because there are no WIN7 drivers.

YOU MUST RUN AS  ADMINISTRATOR to install drivers or hardware etc.

Guest accounts cannot install drivers or make changes.

Intel's site will have Windows 7 drivers for the chipset. That's where I got the Windows 7 drivers for my 2350.

Multimedia audio controller still has a yellow asterick on it.

Chipset loaded byut other files threw up error messages

I have been using driver R145551 mentioned above for about 2 yrs with windows 7.

Chipset loaded but other files threw up error messages

What are the error messages? What files have you tried so far?

What version of Windows 7 are you using 32 bit or 64 bit?

Press [Windows] and [Pause|Break] on this screen it will tell you whether it is a 32 bit or 64 type operating system.

Next select Device manager to the far left.

Hopefully it should look something like mine.

Go to Sound, Video and Game Controllers

Right click the multimedia audio controller and select Update Driver Software.

Next select browse my computer for driver software

navigate to C:Dell\Drivers where Rxxxxxx is R145551 for 32 bit and R145149 for 64 bit.

Select next, next then finish.

32bit driver said "can't compare versions"

64 bit driver said that it had a missing file DEV????? Can't remember the exact file

I had tried 34 different drivers so far and none of them worked

The chipset one R145551 loaded but still have the exclamation mark againt the multimedia audio contoller

Multimedia audio controllor or Sound card ??????? As you have click on soundcard. On the Mulltimedia audio controller It says there is no driver available on my system on the souncard it says the driver is up to date.
