No I can't hear the Windows start up or any other sounds.

Drivers & Downloads

Install #4:

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit

Reboot.

Subsequent steps would be to try the other two on the list.

Alright. I will try that out and i'll get back to you tomorrow. Thanks for all your help so far!

Edit: Should I be saving these files or just click run?

Run should work.

Alright I downloaded the first and second files. The third and fourth wouldn't work though.
Heres what happened for the third and fourth:

Clicked on run and then:

Do you have a PCI sound card or is your audio on the motherboard?

Uh I don't have a clue. How would I find out?

Are your speakers plugged into the upper edge area on the rear of your computer or towards the lower middle?

They are plugged in lower.

That means you have a PCI sound card. You need the drivers from that manufacturer.

If you have no idea about this you need to open the computer and ID that card.

You should have a driver CD for it as it was added to this computer by someone other than Dell.

The Dell drivers control the motherboard ports.

You should see the same type green port up near the upper edge. Try moving your speaker plug there.
