i430VX Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Hello, all. I am trying to get the audio working on a Dell Optiplex 170L (865 chipset) with Windows 98 SE. I have all of the other drivers installed, the video was a little tricky, but i got it eventually. Here is the information from the Unknown Devices utility. Quote * Windows Description - PCI Multimedia Audio Device * Hardware ID - VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_017A1028&REV_02 * Device Category (Class) - Unknown * Enumerator - PCI * Detected Chip Vender - Intel Corporation * Detected Chip Device - 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller * Detected Vender - Dell Computer Corp * Detected Device - SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio * Device Status Flags - Detected, Unknown, Present, Not Phantom, Category Visable *** Note: AC'97 Detection is unreliable *** Thanks for any help... really don't want to use a PCI sound card if i don't have to. P.S. On the dell forum a long time ago some guy said He got it working, but didn't state how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think to try ones that didn't explicity say they worked with 98se (that one appears to be for 2000+) It works perfectly! ...and that one was right on thew drivers page for this sytem on dells site...if only I had been adventurous when I saw it before.
