Audio Drivers

http://support.dell.com, Drivers and Downloads, make sure to select the correct computer model number and then find your audio device. Download, install, reboot, rejoice.

Thank you.  I tried that and when I chose the driver to download it gives me the following pop up "Cannot continue.  The application is improperly formatted.  Contact the application vendor for assistance"  What does this mean?

Again I have to ask: was that message being displayed on the web page (or by your web browser)? Or was that message coming from Windows itself? Knowing that will help a lot.

I put in the correct tag# for my machine and Dell is telling me that based on that then I need "X" audio driver but when I try to download it gave me that message.

Hmm, that's a good one. Is it the website telling you that, or your computer?

Could be that the download got corrupted, or it might be that you've download a driver for XP when you have Windows 7 or vice versa, or that you downloaded 64-bit drivers when you have a 32-bit operating system.

Nevermind - I found out that the error is most likely a problem with the driver installer. You probably did everything correctly, but the installer you downloaded from the website is "broken".

Thank you.  After looking at the details of the error message I found this:
