vostro 1510 sound driver

Hi All,

First post. I have a Dell Vostro 1510 which i am extremely pleased with but one small problem i have is that when i attempt to open Adobe Premiere Elements which i have installed then an error message appears saying 'the currently installed soundcard driver does not support Direct Sound Input. Recording audio is not possible'. the programme then loads but as soon as i try to do anything the same message appears again and the programme stops responding meaning all i can do is close the programme. i searched for driver updates via the windows tool and the dell site but both say my driver is up to date. does anyone have any idea whatsoever what is wrong and what i can do to access my edit software?!

many thanks

chris
