    Did you install any drivers before coming here?

    I don't think so. TBH I can't remember, I've been doing this for so long now.

    Try uninstalling everything under Sound, video and game controllers, then restart the machine.

    I'm trying to get the sigma driver from the DEll site just now but it needs additional software which is taking ages to install

    How do I do that? On a problem device its an option with a right click. No such option on a functioning device.

    If the option to uninstall a device isn't available, ignore it and move to the next one. Has installing the driver made any improvement?

    You don't have to use the download manager; your browser is perfectly capable of handling file transfers by itself.

    Googled following
    >
    go to Dell (drivers & downloads), enter model etc and download "SIGMATEL - Driver" under the audio drivers.
    -then go to device manager (control panel, system, hardware) on the computer and uninstall the IDT driver.
    -extract the sigmatel program you just downloaded and run the setup.exe.
    -the computer should then identify your hardware automatically without installing hardware and run just like before. <
