I have an XPS 410 /w Vista SP1 /w integrated sound and cannot install R171788. I uninstalled the original audio driver, some time ago, to install SP1. Now I'm trying to install the new driver to get more control over audio inputs.

During attempted installation, I get error message:"Exit Error= Device Object not present, restart system and run setup again." In the process of continued trying, I uninstalled 15XXXX driver and now have no sound at all except during the time when the error message is visible.

When I close the error message, I get "No Audio Device is Installed" messages at all sound places (tray, control panel). If I go back thru the install process, when the "Exit Error" message appears I have sound until I close the error box.

Any thoughts as to how I can get the new driver installed?
