This is the link to all drivers for your system from Dell http://support.euro.dell.com/support...os=WW1&osl=EN#
2 drivers shown one an onboard that's the ADI and another for Soundblaster which is a sound card,I'd try the ADI udio driver first
Set a System Restore Point before installing any drivers just in case
Hope this helps

first thing i did was set a system restore.when i got the driver i tried to update it from where it says the multimedia audio controller with a (!) located in the device manager, and it wouldnt let me do it. so i installed it from where i saved it. the weird thing is after installing it, the multimedia audio controiller wasnt there anymore, it used to be under "other devices" in the device manager, now i cant find it and i still dont have any sound???

Set aSystem Restore Point before installing driver just in case
Go back to Dell link and download and install the Chipset, Intel Software Installation Utility, when installed RESTART your computer, then install the Soundblaster audio again.
