Download the latest drivers for your Dell Latitude D410 to keep your Computer up-to-date. Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP. Audio Drivers.

The driver mentioned above is just the Windows XP driver provided by Dell, which can be installed on Vista. When I installed Vista Beta 2, and Beta Build 5456, both times Vista failed to find the audio driver automatically during installation. However Windows Update provided a driver called 'SigmaTel C-Major Audio', which has a newer version than the Dell XP one. Although, using the Windows Update driver is fine with the onboard laptop speakers (Latitude D610), but no output is possible through the headphone jack (it reports that it is mono, but is stereo and works fine under XP). Does anyone know how to resolve this output issue? (Note: The XP driver causes it to report no jack information) Driver details below.

Windows Update Vista driver SigmaTel C-Major Audio Driver Provider = SigmaTel Driver Date = Driver Version = 5.10. Black mamba laser software ilda. 4643.0 Details drmk.sys = Microsoft = 6.0.5456.5 portcls.sys = Microsoft = 6.0.5456.5 STAC97.sys = SigmaTel = 5.10.4643.0 (nd234 cp1) staco.dll = SigmaTel 1.0.4643.0 (nd234 cp1 built by WinDDK) Dell Windows XP driver (on Vista) Driver Provider = SigmaTel Driver Date = Driver version = 5.10.0.

4255 drmk.sys = Microsoft = 6.0.5456.5 portcls.sys = Microsoft = 6.0.5456.5 STAC97.sys = SigmaTel = 5.10.4255.0 stac97co.dll = N/A = 1.0.0.1 STAC97.cpl = SigmaTel = 1.0.0.12 (this control panel item now causes a registry key error). So, this is what worked for me.

First, completely uninstall the sound card through the device manager. Don't let windows reinstall it either. Next, download the dell driver, and right click on the file, selecting 'properties'. Click on the 'compatibility' tab along the top of the properties window, and from the 'compatibility mode' drop down menu, select windows xp sp2.

Click ok at the bottom. Then, just to be sure, right click on the file and run it as an administrator. Finally, make sure the sigmatel installer does all the work. Don't let windows handle it. Hopefully, this is something that gets fixed, because this is a pretty irritating issue, and has been bothering me all day, until fixing it now.

Hopefully, this works for you too. I have a Dell inspiron 600 and had the problem with the mic jack not working. I tried everything mentioned above and nothing worked but I have found a solution when installing the new driver doesn't work - Download the.exe file from dell (the one in the op) BUT don't click on it.
