    It would help if we knew a little bit about your setup...

    We encourage all members to enter their system details, it could help resolving this and any future issues you may have.

    We would be better placed to help you if you completed your System Specs as indicated in the link posted by Wildfire - 32 bit tells us nothing :)

    Follow the instructions in the link and complete all the fields you can, for this particular issue we're interested in sound card/motherboard and OS version (7 comes in a variety of flavours).

    See the My System link on the left ;) of this post for an idea and how my system differs from what you have done.

    Everything you need to know is posted in this link including a guide as to where to find most of the information requested using SIW freeware version.

    With the information to hand .....
    Could not be simpler :)

    I'm pretty sure SIW would have given you more information than that. Anyway now that we've established it's a DELL I'd start by entering your service tag number here and downloading the latest chipset and sound drivers from the site.
