Urgent!!! ***Audio driver for Dell dimension 4300 running on Windows 7***?

? Hi, I just upgraded my Dell dimension 4300 which was running on Windows XP pro to Windows 7 32 bit. Everything is working fine except my sound. I cannot see my audio driver through system information or anything. So I had to open my CPU tower and found out that my sound card is Sound blaster li've model CT4780. Can anyone please tell me how do I use this card with windows 7. I don't know if it will work with Windows Vista driver and I couldn't find a driver for it. I went to dell's website and that driver didn't work, probably was not compatible with Windows 7. Now in my Device manager setting I see these drivers with question mark
- Ethernet controller
- PCI simple communication controller
- Multimedia audio controller
My bios is A04. Can anyone please help me with that. I searched everywhere possible for a solution, but couldn't find one. I will really appreciate if someone can save me.
Thank you

You need a lot more than just the non-existant driver for your sound card, you also need motherboard/chipset drivers and there aren't any for that either. You computer has the Intel 845 chipset in it,

which Intel declared "end of life" a few years ago. Without a working chipset driver it doesn't matter whether you have working sound drivers or not.
In your case you would be far better off holding off on Windows 7 until such a time as you have a new computer that actual has Windows 7 support.

    I have a HP pavillion zv6000 and recently intalled Windows 7, it works great, updated almos all drivers except the sound driver, does any body can help me to get a driver for W7

    Download the xp driver from HP. Then right click on it , properties , run as administrator, then run in compatibility mode for xp2. Should work fine after that.

    Not very good advise at all.  Very few, if any, XP drivers will work properly in Windows 7 because there is too much difference in the kernels!

    I had to install Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
    Bluetooth Driver
    The wireless adapter was defined by this driver, however, the Bluetooth still has an exclamation mark in front of it, and when the Dell WLAN and Bluetooth client installation finished, a pop up message said that Windows couldn't install the device
    well, although there was a folder added in documents folder named 'Bluetooth Folder'
    Yes, the Bluetooth was named with 'Generic Bluetooth adapter' before installing 'Driver above'. However, after installing the driver above, the Bluetooth adapter named with ' Dell wireless 1702 Bluetooth v3.0". But as you see it's
    still not working will.
    The sceen shot shows the device manger before installing  Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
    These screen shots shows the device manger after installing  Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver
    I've lit windows detect the operating program for this device on the internet, it said "Windows has detected that the operating  program of this device is up to date. As this screenshot shows.
    What should I do because nothing lift to try? If you have a look at the ninth drivers in my previous message, you will see that no other drivers for Bluetooth lift.
    Also, I have tried  to install Intel
    Centrino Wireless-N 1030 WiFi Driver 
    But I have been told that "the installation is blocked', This package of installation cannot be installed on your system' I don't know what this
    means, is it because Dell Wireless 1702 WiFi +
    Bluetooth Driver is being installed
    Could you please take some of your preciout time out to read carefully my points below to finish this problem?
    first:
    Yes, if you had a look at my first post, you would have seen that I really have downloaded and installed the drivers suitable for bluetooth, which was only Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver, which made the bluetooth recognized by Windows 7(64Bit). However, the bluetooth in the device manager still has an exclamation mark as it is shown in the device manager.
    I don't have any other drviers which can do more than the what Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver did because I have tried all the drivers listed under 'Network', exept the what are for Etherent.
    Yes, when I have tried adding the bluetooth between two laptops(Mohammad and Nasreen).  the bluetooth was added for both laptops as you see in these screenshots below:
    The Bluetooth devices of Nasreen's laptop whose bluetooth is having some problems in Device mangage.
    The Bluetooth devices of Mohammad's laptop  whosse Bluetooh is defined well in device manager.
    But there is still problem in the device managre as shown in the screenshot listed before.
    Second: (Important) That when I want to send files or recieving between two bluetooth added in either laptop, I could send them. Also, when I open the Mohammad's bluetooth added in Nansreen's laptop( screenshot
    below), I can show what is inside it.
     However, when I open the the Nasreen's bluetooth addd in Mohammad's laptop, I noticed  no reponse at all because as you see that disconnected is written in fornt "Nasreen-Pc" as this screenshot: 
    Although sometimes Nasreen-Pc gets connected as screenshot below, but I am still not able to open the Bluetooth folder of Nasreen-pc from Mohammad-pc. When trying to do that, no response is there.
    In other times, Nasreen-pc gets connected for a while, but it comes back disconnected.
    Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below)  However,
    the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
    Finally: : when I clicked "right-click" on "Nasreen-PC" and then clicking on "detecting and troublshooting issues", I found that windows informed me that :
    But which driver should I reinstall because I have already installed the Dell
    Wireless 1702 WiFi + Bluetooth Driver almost twice?
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Certain driver packages contain drivers from some of the essential services only and for additional services, separate drivers must be installed. Additionally, the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
    Therefore, you are seeing the error.
    If you are using the Bluetooth L2CAP Interface and Bluetooth Remote Control services and not able to install the services, you can try unpairing the device, restart the PC, pair the device and then check. If that too fails, you need to install a suitable
    driver, sometimes even other OEM drivers solve the issue. You can Bing/Google about this. You can also contact Dell Support for more information.
    Balaji Kundalam
    Thanks a lot,
    I really didn't understand what you mean with in your first part the service is installed only if a compatible device is installed (or paired).
    The Bluetooth is integrated with
    the laptop, then  where other services will come from, all service are related to Bluetooth.
    If there are some additional services not related to Bluetooth,
    then how can I either let them functioning well or disable them in order to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark
    on the name of my laptop in the Device and printers.
    Also, I really have installed a
    BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) for HP which really defined the same Bluetooth issue,
    Device manager after installing the entire setup of driver BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth) on HP laptop
    but  when trying to install the same
     BCBT7(Broadcom Bluetooth)  on Dell,  I faced the error below, although there is an icon for Bluetooth in
    the system tray. Also, the Bluetooth is integrated as
    you have seen in the device manager. 
    You didn't answer me: Third:: I noticed that the name of Laptop whose Bluetooth was added listed in 'My computer' for the laptop whose
    Bluetooth is having some problems in the device manager.(First Screen shot below)  However, the name of the laptop whose Bluetooth is having problems wasn't listed on other laptop's "my computer"(Second Screen shot below)
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Hi:
    Try the XP driver.  You will probably have to manually install it as follows...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46934-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Download and run the above file.  Close out of any error windows.
    Go to the device manager and click on the Multimedia Audio Controller needing drivers.
    Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
    Click on Have Disk and browse to:  C:\SWSetup\sp34210\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmCH6 and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
    Then reboot.

  • Mac Audio Driver (for Screenflow) will not install

    I have downloaded a program called Screenflow, which records video and audio of my desktop. It used to work fine with my MacBook Pro but it doesn't work with my new iMac (Lion). The program is supposed to record the computer audio, and when I try to enable it, it asks me to accept it installing the audio driver for it. However, when I click install and enter the passport, it says it is unable to install it. What can I do?
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you. By realizing I was able to install the updates individually from the apple website, I discovered that one of the updates apple was trying to install was Airport Utility 6.1, even though I am running Snow Leopard. It apparenly requires 10.7.3 and up. The software update console doesn't seem to recognize this in its search for updates. Thanks again.  -ss

  • Audio driver for G550

    Hi Vaibhav,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Try any or all of these steps.
    1. Enter the BIOS and set it to default values.
    2. Disable the device driver that has problem in the device manager. If you see any yellow or red marks under a device then "Disable the profile" of the device by first going into it's properties. 
    3. Click Start , Run , and type the following into the Open field: msconfig, Click the Boot.ini tab. Remove the checkmark next to /Safeboot , if it is selected. Click OK and restart the PC.
    4. In Safe mode select Start, Run, type "msconfig" and click on OK. Check the box before Normal Startup and click on Apply and OK. Exit and restart your computer.
    5. Your computer may also be infected with a virus or malware, try running a complete scan with an updated antivirus/spyware.
    To successfully install the audio driver, your Windows XP must be at SP2 level and this patch must be applied prior to installing the audio driver:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-65456.html
    Hope it helps.

  • Where can I find the Audio driver for a dv9865ek on XP?

    Hi all,
    HP support doesn't have the audio driver for my laptop, which is a pavilion dv9865ek with XP64 installed.
    Any idea where I can find it or find out what the model of my sound card is?
    Thaks for your help. 

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.
