Vista on Dell Optiplex GX620 No Sound

I have just bought i dell optiplex gx620, it has an integrated soundmax soundcard. I installed vista enterprise and i cannot find a solution to get my sound working. The device manager says its up and working i am getting no error messages or anything, even the sound bar in the toolbar jumps to the beat but i just have no sound. I have tried installing loads of different drivers, iv tried xp drivers in compatiblity mode, everything, im just hoping there is someone out there that has had this problem and has a solution.

Please any help or advice would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks for reading
Jon

Hi jonny,

I have just tried the link myself and it works o.k!!!

What browser do you use?? Try firefox if your not already using it!!

But link works 100% my friend!!

 

I just tried again and it worked, but unfortunately iv visted that page alredy and tried it to no avail. Do you have any other suggestions, i might just go back to xp, but i really dont want to, do you think id have any luck with windows 7?

 

Been doing a bit of hunting around for you and Found This web page for you to read!!!! please read it and it may get your sound working for you.

Also try this driver to see if it works

As for your question regarding windows 7, well i am no expert on these things as i use windows xp, but there is no harm in you trying it out i guess.

Anyway hope this works for you

 

I read that, tried some of the suggestions and still no sound, tried that driver still no sound. So i just went out and bought a dirt cheap soundcard for £7 probs about $12 installed the drivers and still no sound so then i disabled the on board sound card and hey presto i have sound and it never sounded better.

Thank you so much for your time,

Kind regards
Jon
