Can anyone advise how to get sound from new computer?Thanks for any help provided.Rayreplied onJune 15, 2013The Dell 745 is technically not supported under Windows 7 so there are no drivers listed for it. However I have found the Windows 7 combo cabs available here abouthalf way down the page has resolved a lack of Windows 7 drivers for both older Dell and for that matter non Dell hardware on occasions. Scroll down to about half way down the page. Although the specific OptiPlex model is not listed pointing the driver updatewizard to the cab file seems to work.My Reply on June 26Thanks HairyFool for your reply. I can open the link you reference and page down to the Optiplex section. However, I'm at a loss to find the driver update wizard you mention. There is a Dell driver update utility available for download for $29.95?

Is this the wizard you reference? Even then I don't know how to point it at the closest Cab file (Windows 7 Optiplex 760, 780,etc.) as you direct? Any additional detail would be much appreciated. By the way I would have never found the solution you propose so much thanks for your input!!RayP.S. I had to repeat this information since Reply Tab does not work on this site on my computer?
