Hi there, I’ve recently installed windows 7 rc-32bit on my dell inspirion 9300. The install was pretty slick, only needing to be connected via wire to the lan to get the updates that enabled the graphics and the wireless.* One problem though. No sound. I did manage after a whole lot of searching to download a sigmatel driver from dell (R90698).* Now in the description of the driver it says it is for the sigmatel stac 9750 ac97. However, when installed it only comes up as a sigmatel c-major sound device. In the control panel it only shows one option for sound setup (stereo), rather than under XP where it showed options to choose the 5.1 setup with control to the subwoofer. Sound currently comes out of the two front speakers and the sub but the two rear (physically top) speakers are silent.* Does anyone have an idea how I might be able to get all the options to work?
