How to Install a New Sound Driver on Dell Inspiron 600M?

Posted by admin 4 January, 2010

I have bought a Inspiron 600M laptop, but it does not have sound. It is a used one, but the previous owner said there is a sound card. I have read that I have to delete the existing audio driver files, but I don’t know how. I am running XP home edition on it, and have no idea what to do. My brother has done it on Vista, but doesn’t know how on XP. What do I do?

    ITS THE SAME WAY TO DO IT ON VISTA AND XP. IF THE OWNER U BOUGHT OF GAVE U THE DISKS THAT COME WITH THE COMPUTER PUT IT IN UR CD DRIVE/DVD DRIVE RIGHT CLICK ON MY COMPUTER THEN MANAGE THEN DEVICE MANAGER THEN UNDER SOUND,VIDEO AND GAME CONTROLLERS CHECK TO SEE IF U HAVE ANY YELLOW QUESTION MARKS (?) IF SO RIGHT CLICK ON IT AND CLICK ON UPDATE DRIVER THEN JUST FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION HOPE IT HELPS

    Laptops don’t have sound cards. For downloading the audio driver go to support.dell.com and look up your system, then make sure that Window XP (32-bit) is selected then download the correct audio driver. If that doesn’t work it means there is one of two problems. 1. The speaker doesn’t work (busted or unplugged wire) 2. The OS has a corrupt file that is causing the audio not to work properly.
