    No Sound on Dell Optiplex GX520

    I am working on a Dell Optiplex GX520 Windows XP SP3 Service Tag 44M7TB1. All works EXCEPT the sound. I have worked for hours to get the sound to work, downloaded the appropriate drivers from Dell, updated the BIOS (first), checked all the settings, all to no avail. Oddly, when running diagnostics, the sound works. Very frustrating.

    Any help or suggestions would be great.

    Just an update. I now installed a PCI Sound Card and still there is no sound.

    Reset BIOS to disable on-board audio and no the PCI works. Problem somewhat solved. Just curious as to why the on-board did not work.

    When they go bad, they go bad. Had that happen, but normally , it is the onboard lan card that goes first.
