XPS M1210 reconfigurable Jacks Problem

Hello I have a Dell XPS M1210 running XP MCE, everything is kept up to date as far as I am aware. One of the last things I was updating was the Sound blaster recommended update with the Sigmatel driver optional update R122161.exe

With the old Sigmatel Driver I got a pop up window to configure the audio inputs on the front of the laptop. There was also an icon in the control panel which I believe had a similar setup to the popup window. After the update, I still have the Sigmatel Icon in the control panel, but with a more basic interface, just a tick box to allow reconfigurable pop ups, which is ticked. However, since the update, I never get a pop up no mater which jack I use on the front of the laptop, and I can’t seem to get the middle jack to work anymore. I had the one on the left configured when I installed the new Sigmatel driver and I think that is the reason that the left jack still works.

I think I might revert back to an older driver? Any other suggestions?

PS I have been all the way through the forum on Audio issues and nobody seemed to have a similar problem.

    steve.valo,
     
    Thank you for joining us here on DCF. If the new driver has removed the features that you use most and you see no immediate benefit for keeping the updated driver, I would simply roll the driver back. You always have the option of re-downloading it later, if needed.
