Dimension 5150 - Driver for Sound Card
Hey i'm having serious issues with my audio...i've read previous posts and have scoured the internet for solutions...but i'm so confused... I have a Desktop Dell Dimension 5150 (about 1-1.5 years old) Sometimes my sound is detected..and sometimes it isn't (this includes both Mic and Speakers)...this has been going on for a while, but it usually clears up with a reset or two, but lately it has been getting worse. I suspect the problem has something to do with my Microphone (USB in the front port..which i use on MSN to have video conversations.) I use the speakers that came with the Dell PC, and they work fine usually (because i do hear some sound)...but i'm unable to play any sound from winamp (or listen to my uni ilectures on quicktime or Windows media player, which seems to be kindof temperamental. when i try to play an MP3 in Winamp i get the message "Bad DirectSound Driver. Please Install proper drivers or select another device in configuration. Error Code: 88780078". i have tried installing the sigmatel driver on the dell website (which made no difference)...aswell as 5.10.5258_MSXP_W_STACGUI_AC97FP.exe (as suggested on another thread)...the second driver i think reconfigured everything so that (on the PC) it registered as playing, but i couldn't get any sound out of my PC (almost like a hardware problem)...it didn't seem to work...so i did a system restore and i'm back at square one.... PLEASE HELP! i want to play music and use my mic on my PC!!
