[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 997292, member: 175144"] Been there a number of times. The audio chipset is analogue and different to that of the 745. Dell only started with the motherboard post XP and so they did not provide backward compatibility, as far as I have checked. All the data I use daily is locked in the hard drive , including all the office programming stuff. Moving up from the current operating system is going to be more trouble than not getting sound, but it would be good to know if it can be done. I recall trying a fresh XP install in the machine when I first got her, but cannot remember if I tried the audio side of things. [/QUOTE]
