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:

[Guest technomoron67]

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.

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.

Hello, this exact same thing happened to me. No volume now!!

I read your advice and I went to the website--but I don't have Windows

vista. I have Windows XP professional version 2002.

 

Any advice on how to fix it??

Let me know.

Thanks.

Hello,

I may have already posted this--but I don't see my post so decided to

repost. Appologies if this is the 2nd time you see it.

 

I recently encountered this same problem. I've read through the posts here

and I don't quite understand??

This happened last sunday 23 Nov. but I don't remember installing any

updates? The last thing I remember doing was installing a program to reduce

video files. It didn't work so I deleted it. My volume still worked though.

It wasn't until the next day the sound just went out.

 

I tried fixing it by reinstalling stuff as several of the people did and it

didn't work. I tried going to the website and I'm wondering if I can even do

that backup stuff because I have Windows XP 2002--NOT vista??

 

Can someone help please??? I need the volume for work!!

 

Thank you.

Not really the same scenario, and the thread you've attached to is largely

expired anyway. Please post a new message spelling out your particular issue in

more detail. As it doesn't sound as if your problem relates to Windows Update,

you may get a better response by posting in microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware.

 

Harry.

[Guest georgethegood]

I have the same problem but mine is complcated by the fact that this is a new

MS install. All works except the audeo. (strange how you can miss something

like audeo) I get the error "IDT High Def Audeo Codec Code 10. I tried

removing the software. Since the card is built in I can't remove it. Nothing

works. Since I don't have a BU what are my options?

Hi, I am trying to do some clean up and get rid of third-party Internet

utilities, antivirus programs, or firewall programs.

Do I actually need this IDT audio? What exactly is it for? I sure would

appreciate any advice that you could give. Thanks a lot, Heather

[Guest tashahayes]

Hi, I realize this is a really old issue, but I am having the same one now.

This computer was just converted back to windows from Linux about a week ago.

I reviewed the responses here, and when I went to to do the system restore it

says I had it turned off. Exactly how do I get the audio to work? I've tried

with both the IDT and the Realtek drivers, but everytime I reboot and the

"found new hardware" dialog box pops up and I go through the process of both

automatically and manually installing the drivers, it keeps telling me that

it is unable to start. Do you ahve any suggestions on what I should do?

 

Thanks!
