    I recently bought a M1530 with the integrated audio and was curious if the Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition is available for purchase at Dell. I can't see to find it.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    I wouldn't buy it either.
    I got it for my E1705 a while back and I reformat my computer about 4 times a year and the activation key on it works only 5 times (I think). I contacted dell and creative and they both told me i was outta luck.
    the software wasnt even that great.

    I got it for free with my system. PM me if you want it (I'll give it to you), but it is garbage.

    It also came as default with my system. After a couple of clean installs the activation code expired, but I was able to get a new one after hassling Creative a couple times. Still haven't gotten around to re-installing it.

    When I requested for a set of re-installation CD for my Vostro 1400, they sent me also the Audigy CD with key although I did not choose that option in my original order.

    Please do not revive dead threads (6 months or older), rather create a new one if need be

    Thank you
