Windows 7 audio driver? Dell XPS 400...
Hi,
I've read enough posts to know that Windows 7 and my Creative Soundblaster Audigy Advanced MB aren't compatible. However, there has to be some driver that will work. Can someone point me in the right direction? I tried a Sigmatel driver, which didn't work. However, I can't seem to uninstall it, remove it from the registry, remove the files, etc. Heck, (although ideally I'd like something better) I'd settle for the generic Microsoft Windows 7 sound driver. The problem is that now whenever I try to scan for changes, it keeps finding the non-working Sigmatel driver. I'd appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but I already fixed my problem... by posting it in a more appropriate forum on this site.

Hi
I have the same problem.....would you be able to direct me to your solution
Thanks
Hi All, I found the sound driver for the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver
2.18.0015This is one of the cards that is installed on the dell xps 400.
You can take the sound card out of the computer to find out which card you have.
Click the link to download the generic driver which works for windows 7

The Soundblaster Advanced MB is just a software overlay over the XPS 400 onboard audio, SigmaTel STA9220. First, you have to load the driver in XP compatibility mode. No guarantee that it will work.
