    i've recently downgraded my OS from Vista to XP and i've been successful in installing most of the drivers, except for the audio driver. i've tried installing it from dell.com other websites, XP compatible drives, etc. but none of them works. did anyone have similar problems? does anyone know how to fix it?

    What happens when you try to install it? Does the driver fail to install or install and fail to work?

    while i'm installing the driver, it says that the driver i'm downloading is not compatible with the computer's audio.
