After you have performed an Operating System re-installation, install the audio driver following this order of installation:

a. Install Dell Notebook System Software (click the + sign next to System Utilities). Restart.

b. Next install the  AMD processor driver (click the + sign next to Chipset). Restart.
 
c. Finally install the Sigmatel audio driver  (click the + sign next to Audio).

Get these from
1501 XP drivers



Rarely there will still be a problem with the installation at this point (in XP). In those cases follow this tip from forum member rpilT2005: 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 the driver.
