Is my problem one for a computer technician do you think??

First have a look at this
Check Control Panel/ Sound & Audio Devices/ Properties/ Audio tab/ Sound Playback click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be they something like "modem line 0 playback" might have been substituted for the proper audio device.

If that is correct
Go back to Dell http://support.euro.dell.com/support...os=WW1&osl=EN#

install the Chipset driver, then RESTART your comp. then install the ADI 198x again.

I'm not too sure on what kind of disc's Dell supply, do you have a recovery disc and a Win XP disc, if this is what you have then Device Manager should install drivers for you. Here is how it works.

Insert recovery disc in CD drive and then close, go to Device Manager, right click problem device, select Update driver and follow prompts. Device manager should find driver on disc and install

Don't forget the Restore Point just in case

hope this helps
