I have a dell latitude laptop D610 and I absolutly cannot get my audio to work after i installed windows 7. I have went everywhere and checked every forum i could find and i cannot find any solutions. i have installed and uninstalled and restarted my comp dozens of time with no results. so i was wondering if anyone had any clue how i might fix if so please help. thank you
Give me a few minutes. I can probably find something for you. In the meantime, find the hardware id of the audio device by using the device manager. Right click it, choose properties. Details tab. Change property dropdown to hardware ids. Copy and paste what's there.
Does this do anything for you? Run it in Vista compatibility mode if it refuses to install. If not, give me the info I asked.
SIGMATEL Audio AC97 for ICH4 6.14.01.3900 free driver download
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E&SUBSYS_01821028&REV_03
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E&SUBSYS_01821028
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E&CC_040100
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E&CC_0401
this is the hardware id i found
This should do well for you.

If it doesn't install simply by running, you should install with device manager after it extracts, using the .inf.
Right click audio device, update driver software, browse, let me pick, have disk, browse.
still no luck says device not present restart system and try again did it five times still no luck
Open the. inf.
Find a line with this: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E
if there is anything after that, starting with the &, delete it.
For example,
if it's like this: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E&SUBSYS_01821028
make it this: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266E instead
Save .inf. Install manually like before.
says also driver may be missing or corrupted also ive got that message several times
sorry i cannot find the .inf file nor the pci....... stuff im supposed to change do u think u could guide me through it?
I used the drivers that Dell has on their site for Windows XP, it worked fine on my D610 with Windows 7: http://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/R99254.EXE
The device is identified by Dell as a SIGMATEL STAC 975X AC97.
