Half a sound card
So I installed Windows Vista Buisness on my dell inspiron 9300 laptop because it is what my school offered through MSDNAA. I purchased the Buisness to Ultimate Upgrade and upgraded the install of Windows. Upon instalation, i lost the ability to get sound out of my headphone jack! I cant figure out why, i tried reinstalling the driviers for the sound card (SigmaTell C-Major) and am still having the problem. I can still get sound of my on board speakers fine, but if i plug in headphones or outside speakers, I lose it all. I was able to get sound out of the headphone jack before i upgraded to ultimate, so this is an issue cause either by upgrading or by ultimate itslef. Has any one else had this problem? Does any one know how to fix it?

Hahahahaha wow, that was simple. Good call, thx for the help. I must have reinstalled the sound card 5 times. I never would have thought of reinstalling the chip set. What made you think of that? Well needless to say, It worked. Thanks alot.dantheman353

Sorry, I wasn't very clear...What I meant was reinstall the driver software for the chipset and sound card.Go to support.dell.com, search for drivers, download them and install them.dantheman353

hmm.. the only other thing I did was restart the computer... thats it- ok I reinstalled the Intel chip set and the sound card drivers, restarted. Still do not have headphone jack working.The intel chip set was for xp (r114079) and the sigma tel (R99254) c-major audio was for vista.Is this what you guys did? Can you let me know if thei was right and what I might try next?Thanks
