No sound device after installing Win7 on DELL inspiron 1420
by Vusak - 8/19/09 1:30 AMI just install fresh new window 7 on my dell ispiron 1420, but then no sound come out from my laptop.
Before this I use window XP.
I already install the sound device for my laptop but, error message comes out saying no sound device installed or maybe it's used by other application. Help please
What drivers did you use?

- the original Windows XP drivers from Dell from the original driver CD
- downloaded Windows Vista drivers from Dell for this laptop
- downloaded Windows 7 drivers from Dell for this laptop
- Windows Vista drivers from the makers from the components (that you determined with Everest or Belarc)
- Windows 7 drivers from the makers from the components (that you determined with Everest or Belarc)
- other
We don't know, because you didn't tell. Just "the sound device" doesn't say much, if anything.
And:
- What version of Windows 7 did you install? The release candidate from February, downloaded from the Microsoft site? Or some cracked version from a P2P network? There's no retail version in the shops yet, is there?

Same Problem
by Mysteir - 11/12/09 4:55 AM In reply to: No sound device after installing Win7 on DELL inspiron 1420 by VusakHas anyone figured this out yet? I've installed windows 7 and have the same problem - no sound.
Dell don't seem to have any audio drivers available for windows 7 and when I try to download the sigmatel audio driver for vista, I get an "unknown error" when installing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I can't try this for you.

Reading over http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=mozilla&q=%2B"WINDOWS+7"+SIGMATEL+STAC+92XX+C-Major+HD+Audio&aq=f&oq=&aqi= I see many pleas for this. Try that and failing that consider some USB sound solution.

My sound drivers came from Microsoft
by Ol Rod - 11/13/09 6:51 PM In reply to: Same Problem by MysteirI realize my old homebuilt will not be like your Dell, I had integrated Realtech AC'97 sound card. When I first installed I had no sound, but after I got Anti-Virus installed and got online, Windiws updates identified my hardware and downloaded sound drivers, next time I restarted I had sound. Afraid this won't help you ,but that's what worked for me.
Check your drivers

Check and upgrade your drivers either with the manufacturer or Windows: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.
