I found the proper Audio driver for N5010 IDT sound card at last. 100% tested and fully functional. I got it from Lenovo's website:

Share it with anyone who may need it, I am sure too many people are looking for it now.

Thank you for explanation. N5010 laptop is relatively new and one of the latest Dell laptop mainstreamed. I believe it is something related to hardware becasue I tried a fair number of N5010s and no success at all. I am wondering if Mr. Seahate really installed his sound correctly, if so I apreciate if he shares his experience with me. I am getting really puzzled by this problem.

Thank you, using a proxy solved the problem and I got the file. I am from Iran and my falied attempt were on 29th and 30th of August. I tried the solution suggested by mr_smartepants but the driver failed to work. The device is moved from unknown devices to "Sound, video and game controllers" but there is a yellow mark on it and it does not work. When I open the device properties it says "The device could not start (Code 10)". Does anybody have any idea about this? I tried XP SP2 and SP3 and I installed the KB888111 patch as well, none of these tricks worked for me.

Funny;
Although the device is disappeared, it reappears once the network cable is plugged and works fine! Once the cable is unplugged is disappears again and on. Anyway, that's enough for me and I consider this as DONE! Here is the link to the driver I used:

I hope it works for your N5010 too!

Hi;
I need LAN driver for N5010 laptop and based on Dell website it is Realtek RTL8103T. I tried many drivers but once one them worked and recognized the device, it disappeared from my hardware list! It means that I dont have it neighter in Network Adapters nor in Unknown devices!
The hardware IDs are:
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_04471028&REV_02
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&SUBSYS_04471028
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136&CC_0200
Thanks for your help - Pouria

Hi;
I have the same laptop model too with eaxclty the same Hardware ID written above. I tried to download sound B several times but there seem to be a problem. Once the download reaches at 58.7MB it is halted! It happened 4 times and each time exactly at the same point! Maybe the file is corrupt, would you please check it? Or, is it possible to have that individual driver to avoid downloading the big file?
