Dimension 2400 driver for Multimedia Audio Controller?

Thanks Osprey,

I had been searching all over the Dell download website for a couple of days and could not locate this driver.  I searched using the tag number and also by model number, but this particular driver did not show up on my "radar".  Thanks for the assistance (BTW, the support web site states that an operating system must be installed before the drivers -- which is the way that I did it).

Glad to help. Sounds like you're on your way.

I have a Dimension 2400 which required a new HDD XP Pro System Manager lists it as:     PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24C5

That is great that you detailed the VEN and DEV number for the device that you are looking to install, as well as the OS.

This device is descrbed as "Intel 82801 DB DBM/DA AC 97 Audio Controller".  It is the integrated audio card in the Dimension 2400.

The appropiate driver for Windows XP for this device can be found here:

Hi osprey4,

Nice job answering this person's question.  My post was delayed from appearing in the thread because for some reason the forum has chosen to review it prior to public publication.  This sometimes happens within a couple of hours and other time in a few days.  But I am curious why you have never posted a similar the similar observation about some of regulars that do indeed post answers after an answer was already accepted.  Seems like the regulars here feel that this a closed club here where 'rockstars' think they are the only ones with something positive to contribute.

I made the suggestion since you're relatively new to the forum. By all means, I welcome your participation. As for me, I generally stay out of threads where others are already helping the thread originator. But I hear what you're saying.
