Help with my Sound Card!

Ive just installed Vista, and the only thing that seems to have problems is my sound card. Vista says that no audio output is installed, and when i go into the control panel, then go to sound and search for drivers, it doesnt come up with any.

Im just wondering does anyone know how I could find out what sound card I have? When i go to Control Panel, and then into sound, it doesnt tell me. I bought my PC already built from Dell if that helps. i havent changed the Sound card since.

The dell site should have the drivers you need, have you tried there?BLKR4330

I will now, but dont i need to know the specific type of sound card that i have? or do the dell drivers work on all their sound cards?

I tried letting Windows do all the work. It searchs for the drivers, but after a 5 minute search, it comes up with nothing.

And i went onto the Dell website, and typed in my service tag, and they had no drivers to offer for Audio in my PC:?

Is there a website that can scan your PC letting you know what sound card you have? Ive tried google, but cant seem to find any working ones.

Right, im going to open my PC now just to see if any information is written on my sound card.

ill post back if i find anything so that you guys can stop worrying about whether i have sound or not. That is provided i dont get electrocuted now, but anyway:P

Yeah. Knowing the exact sound card will make finding the drivers an easy process.
