Reinstalled windows, no audio. HELP!

I reinstalled Win 7 ult 32-bit on my dimension 8300 and mistakenly formated the disk, erasing everything this time. Once installation was complete, i no longer have sound. Everything else works how it used to. The crazy thing is that there are no yellow or red exclamaion or question marks in deveice manager, and there isn't an x over the speaker icon in the tray. I'm stuck and its been about 3 days trying to fix this. I've googled, windows updated, dell updated, but nothing can detect anything wrong. Im assuming i installed the wrong audio driver or did not reinstall in the right sequence. The only difference is that i no longer see the integrated audio devices in the sound playback devices menu...only the sound blaster audigy 2. i've downloaded the newest driver, says i already have the driver. I know its not my speaker system becaause i've used headphones as well as another speaker system, as well as plugged the speaker systems to my laptop and they work. integrated audio doesn't work either even when i turn it on in the bios, or turn it on in the bios and remove the sound card. PLEASE HELP I need audio!!

dell 8300
nvidia geforce fx 5200 256MB [AGP]
soundblaster audigy 2 (i thnk) maybe its the live 5.1
intel pentium 4 3.00 ghz Hyper-thread technology
Seagate Barracuda 7200 SATA 250 Gb HDD
not sure what chipset,

What driver did you download? Was it a win 7 driver?
