It's not my laptop having the issue, it is the X-Fi MB sound blaster software that can't find a audio device that supports it. CODEC works just fine, I would just like to use this product.

Right click the Volume Panel Sigma Tel High Def Audio CODEC tab in sys tray.Click on "Select Audio Device",then click the drop down box and selct the audio device and selct ok.

I understand what you are saying,you have to select the audio device from the drop down box i mentioned in previous post then close it.Then you should be able to use the creative devices.I have been using this software for 4 years and i know the device needs to be selected.

All right, I did what you said and I am still getting the error message (the audio device was already selected). I wonder if it doesn't work with IDT High definition Audio CODEC.

Oh, and just to add for extra information, my OS is Win7

Yea i was just going to ask that,did you get the x64 bit software disk ?

If so,try running it in Vista compatibility mode.There is a thread on this forum about that software upgrade with windows 7 but i can't find it.

Here it is http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3517/p/19303454/19839457.aspx#19839457  .

Alright, I'll try the switching to vista compatibility mode and google the upgrade (has to be somewhere). Thanks for the help.
