more recent operating system,such as windows vista and 7 update their drivers automatically,if you are having a windows xp and seems to lacking drivers just update them yourself.use your dell driver cd in the cd drive on your computer,open another window to view any drivers that are missing or that are not properly installed on your system,finally reinstall the missing or damaged drivers on your system.

i had the same problem with my dell laptop ,at the times i have simply use the dell support website which is provided as support.dell.com.to get out of it,just open the website enter the model no.of your dell laptop for which you need drivers, go to drivers and downloads, and install the driver you need.

if your computer has a "high definition audio bus",for your purpose ,simply means XP cd doesn't come with the necessary software,so yo have to download it separately.
