drivers for mainboard hardware

I just set up a second hand Dell  Dimension V400 (400MHz Pentium II) for a friend, and installed Win98SE on the machine.  All works fine except the on-board audio, because Win98SE couldn't find drivers for it on the Win98 installation CD.  The DELL downloads page lists drivers for several kinds of audio (which I assume are add-in audio cards), but not for the on-board audio hardware.  Also I can't find a user manual for the Dimension V400 on the DELL site.  The model category I select to locate the drivers is V___ ('v' followed by 3 underscores) which I assume includes the model V400 (the name molded into the plastic front panel on the PC case).  But I don't know if that is a good assumption.  Also I enter the service tag# 3E7R7 for the search, which I assume will point me to the correct download links.  But when I get there I don't find drivers for the on-board audio nor do I find a user manual.  Does anyone have a suggestion how I can find the files I need?
