Can't find an audio driver for my Dimension 9150

On Dells drivers download page, there are only 2 drivers.
One for Creative and one for Sigmatel.

I have only the onboard audio. So I tried the sigmatel driver, but it was not accepted.

In my Device manager, I can see a red mark on
Microsoft UAA Bus driver for HD audio

Otherwise is everything OK.

Did you install the Chipset drivers? They should be installed FIRST,
but it might work to install them now.

Nah, won't do it. Unfortunately, the drivers for the Microsoft HD
Universal Audio Architecture (which you need as a foundation to apply
the Dell sites' Creative or Sigmatel drivers, aren't available for
easy download. You need to put a call in to Microsoft Product
Services, or scour the net for unofficial downloads for it. Note the
install executable is different depending on OS and service pack
revision, just to be doubly annoying.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221/

I've done this a couple of times: once, I phoned MS and got the driver
(although it took a while until I quoted specific KB numbers to them)
and the other time I bodged it by extracting the driver from the Intel
package:

http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...ProductID=1861

alternately, try
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en

Download, extract, then go into device manager, double-click the
unknown audio device and point it at the folder you saved the extract
to. Once you've done this Windows should do the "discovered new
device" thing, at which point you can run the Creative/Sigmatel
install to get it to actually work.

Ric

the two audio drivers listed under 'audio' for the dell dimension 9150
desktop computer are both for the optional sound cards (sigmatel stac 92xx
and creative soundblaster x-fi).
the chip set driver includes the driver for the other audio option, the
integrated creative labs audigy invitation sound.
the tip off is that there is a application for the audigy under the 'audio'
section for your model.
i wonder what else isn't working because you haven't applied the chip set
drives.
good luck.

The integrated audio on my 9200 IS the Sigmatel.

hi tom. i know the sound blaster audigy to be the integrated audio in the
dimension 9150 desktop. but perhaps it changed over the life of the
product. as the op stated, dell only lists two other drivers on the
download page. and since they didn't work i assume that he/she has the
integrated audigy... if you go into the bios you can see if your integrated
audio is turned on or off... if off then your sound card is not the
integrated audio.

oh, nevermind... you said your 9200 has sigmatel as the integrated audio.
the op is talking about a 9150.... the 9150 is like the xps 400 but differs
from the 9200... 9150 has a intel 945p and the 9200 has a intel p965
express...

But both of them have the Sigmatel as the integrated ... both can
software upgraded to audigy look-alike but it is NOT the default but a
$25 option. The default drivers are loaded first, I believe....

Assuming you didn't change any hardware, uninstall as many drivers as
possible and reinstall all the drivers on dell's web site that apply
to your pc.

YES
That was just that.
A question of installing the drivers in the correct sequence:
1- BIOS
2- Chipset
3- Sigmatel audio
4- all others
