DigitalE Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi, I have a Dell Optiplex GX270, which has an integrated sound card. Windows Vista does not recognize it, does anyone know if I can get drivers for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy4life Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 did you try installing the dirvers in compatibility mode (XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makeshift Hammer Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Rant and unhelpful : That's another problem i have with buying a dell. Driver and BIOS support dies off near instantaneously (unless they make it perfect? hmm....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy4life Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 For somereason, i havent experienced any problems running beta 1 on my dell laptop besides being unable to get DWM to work... the sound is working, but only when i use something like Windows Media Player/Winamp... windows sounds do not work by default for somereason... what sound card is it?... is it just the AC97 one?

karma_police Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have a Dell and everything works just install the drivers using compatibility mode like Andy said, it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy4life Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 ^^^ do your windows sounds work correctly? or is it only when you some sort of media playing application? for example my MSN sounds don't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried installing in XP compatibility mode, but that didn't work either.. I guess I could try it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalE Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 the one that comes with an Optiplex GX270 when I reinstalled, it said something about "no ADI codec" or something like that when Vista started up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Causas Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 there should bea folder at C:|drivers by default. your sounds card driver should be in that already, you can just manually install it via device manager. That is what I had to do to get my card working( I also have a DELL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
