Need Help With Sound Drivers

cashmaniac · 07-21-2008, 08:19 AM

Ok so my friend has some major problems with XP on his computer so I installed a fresh copy of Vista on his computer, however no sound drivers that I have tried have worked. Can someone help by getting me the correct drivers, or by telling me what I am doing wrong.

Extra Notes:

-He is using a Dell Dimension 3000
-We have tried the Realtek Sound Drivers & They have not worked
-I am fully aware that there might not be drivers for this computer so please don't flame about that.

Thanks in advance.

The audio driver for that system is ADI 198x Integrated audio chip/ SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. You can try the manufacturers website or look at the following site has a driver for Vista. It does require you to create a free login.
