You would help if you would post the exact model, it would be easy to find those drivers on Dell s website.

If you don t know what Model your Notebook is, then install DriverGenius. It will find the drivers for you. Contact TCID bout the software if you need more information where to buy that software.

Can you do a system restore?

sorry to hear mate, i ll belive you should go to an more tech forum nd open a thread like this one, just name the correct model nd system conf. i think it s a problem with the model nd the wrong drivers, there are two 2400 models nd they ain t supported by the same driver...

or just try to upgrade to win 7, system sound will be fixed automaticly nd i guess there won t be problems with the drivers.

Thanks for you help mate had this oul thing ages might just invest in new one rather than buy Wins 7

I have original XP discs and may just reinstall that but that was last option

Mate, the best way to get the correct driver from Dell is to use the Service Tag from your machine. It should be on one of the labels usually a thin white label underneath your laptop. For example my Dell Latitude service tag is 5LBZR2J - should be a similar format.
