Have you try windows update? If not then try to update windows. You can download Sigmatel STAC 9200 series audio driver 6.1 for Windows Vista. Even this will do the trick.This type of problem are mostly happen due to the driver compatibility with the system. You should always try to update your driver so that the errors get fixed with the new version. Perform this and get your sound working.

Try to download Sigmatel R99254 driver.Unpack it but don't perform the installation process. It will unpack and store the file to the following location c:\Dell\drivers\R99254, this will have a subfolder named WDM.Open device manager and select expand system devices (at bottom). Go to properties and select to update the driver. Now browse to c:\Dell\drivers\R99254\WDM. See that it will detect some new hardware and see there will be sigmatel R99254 driver.
