Help with B120 Audio

Hi, i just reformatted my B120 yestarday and i am trying to get my audio to work. I downloaded /attempted to install the driver Dell.com has on its website, the "Sigmatel xx92" but when i restart when prompted, it says that my system does not match my driver. What do i do? is there a way i can find out what audio card i have? I cant find out what is wrong. I currently cant find my system restore cd. Any input would help please.

When you perform an OS reinstallation, you have to install Dell Notebook System Software (find it under System & Configuration Utilities), then Intel Mobile Chipset (find under Chipset), then the audio and other drivers. Find all of these on your downloads page.

Tip from rpilT2005: If still having problems installing the driver, check in the Device Manager for a "PCI Device" with a yellow question mark next to it, under the "System Devices" grouping. Hit 'update driver' on that one, and it should find a driver.

If it doesn't find a driver, then try this tip from bacillus: Get the audio driver then manually decompress it to an empty folder.
In Device Manager for the unknown device, right click it>properties>driver and hit the update driver button. Point the wizard to the folder you had decompressed the audio driver to.
