So i request if somebody can give me the exact link for this downloadable audio driver(Altect lansing speakers)

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 Intel Mobile Chipset driver (click the + sign next to Chipset). Restart.

c. Finally re-install the Sigmatel audio driver  (click the + sign next to Audio). Just get the one named 'Sigmatel'.



Get these from E1505/6400 (XP) drivers page.



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.
