No audio for your model from Dell this is the driver from Creative
http://uk.europe.creative.com/suppor...pe=1&x=31&y=12
Set a System Restore Point before installing drivers just in case
Start / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore / select Create a Restore point and follow instructions
