Well, I reformatted my Dell and reinstalled the OS (Windows XP Home). All seemed to go well, but sound does not work. I do not believe I have all my drivers (I have a CD that came with my computer called "DRIVERS AND UTILITIES" which has the contents of Device Drivers, Diagnostics and utilities, and Computer Documentation). I figured that disk would work - just throw it in and let it install all my drivers. It gives me a bunch of options, but nothing that seems useful.
Anyways, currently, the only driver I know that I don't have / don't have working correctly is my sound. As I said, no sound works. When I open Winamp it tells me:
DirectSound output v2.43 (d) error
Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration.
Error code: 88780078
Also, when I open TeamSpeak (a VOIP service), it tells me:
Error
TDSoundOut.Open(DirectSoundCreate): No sound driver is available for use.
How do I go about correcting this problem. I was reading that you do to the manufacturer's website - if this is a case, could whoever my helper is please direct me to the location of the driver (not just the website - I'll likely get lost).
Hope you can help!
