Hi queenstowngreg. Try the "SIGMATEL_STAC-92XX-C-Major-H_A06_R182475.exe"

package from the Dell support site released on May 19. It has version

6.10.0.5866 of the IDT/Sigmatel audio drivers for Vista SP1 and should work

on your Dell XPS 420 desktop computer.

 

Also check out MS KB article 948481 on resolving some sound problems in

Vista SP1:

Thomas Beagle, you are a genius! I have been fretting over the soundless

IDT audio "update" since May 1 2008. I finally decided to try your

four-step plan, and wow I about screamed when that red X disappeared

from the speaker!

THANK YOU !!!!!!

Hi there,

 

It is commom knowledge here that drivers should be taken from the

manufacturers site, exception is there for microsoft hardware only.

 

 

Best regards,

Same problem as above. Except it was on a Gateway laptop. After

updating to SP 3 on XP the sound was gone along with the speaker icon on

the task bar.

I went to Gateway's website and found an earlier version of the

SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC driver and downloaded it and

installed it. The problem was solved. Hope this helps other. I know it

helped me. Thanks.
