Default No sound on Dell Dimension 9100 reinstall

Ok, here's an update.

I gave up the struggle trying to fix it, and started over.

Installed XP SP1 from another restore CD.
And updated the sound drivers.
The sound worked fine out the integrated sound.
But not the sound care.


Then I removed the sound card.
Creative Sound Blaster Augidy 2 z5
Model: SB0350

and installed XP Media edition.
Installed the sound drivers, and the Power DVD.

The sound worked, and media player worked.


So, I'm concluding that this was caused by a bad soundcard.
Shame on the guy who sold this machine to me!

I also notice that this 9100 machine is much louder than my Dell 4700
and 4600.

Overall, I'm really disappointed, and have buyer's remorse with this.
