I have a Dell Dimension 8400 with a MMS 5650 theatre surround sound system. I have just had to re-install the OS, Windows 7, and the PC wont recognise that the sound system is attached. I am trying to find the driver for the system but no luck on the dell site. Can anyone point me to where I can download the driver for this sound system? Thanks.

The surround sound system isn't what needs drivers, it's the integrated soundcard. The drivers are available here on the dell site (change hxxp to http). They're for XP but should work on 7 too.

Did you use the factory restore partition to reinstall?!!

Thanks to the replies. Oddly enough, and for some clever Windows 7 reason, it found the card and downloaded a driver.0
