Unless you are using SP3 (either slipstreamed or installed), you will need to install KB888111, otherwise known as HDAudio hotfix.

Usually, it comes bundled with driver releases, as long as you install those via the setup.EXE and not the .INF method.

Have you been using the DriverPacks on your install disc or have you not?

You could give the new SAD a chance, that might cure your problem, if not, it's hard to tell what else it may be with that sparse an info you have provided.

If you are not using the DriverPacks best idea would be taking it to Dell's support wink
