Dell Optiplex 755 Audio Drivers For Windows 7 64 Bit

• • • • • After upgrading a Dell Optiplex 755s to Windows 7, you might have noticed that your audio stopped working, and perhaps you see a red 'X' over your audio adapter in Device Manager. Dell has identified the Opiplex 755 as having 'basic functionality' with Windows 7, meaning that Dell hasn't released a set of Windows 7-specific drivers for the different components, including audio.

You must use a combination of built-in Windows 7 drivers and Windows Vista drivers to get all the components working as well as possible. Use Windows Update to Find a Compatible Driver Step Click Start, type 'Windows Update' in the Search box (without quotes here and throughout) and select 'Windows Update' when it appears in the search results.

Step Click the 'Check for updates' link and click 'Optional updates are available' when the process completes. If the 'Optional' link doesn't appear, there are no driver updates from Microsoft available for your computer and you can skip this section. Step Check the box next to an audio driver update if one exists. Otherwise, skip to the next section.

Step Click 'OK' and 'Install Updates.' You'll probably need to reboot your computer afterward, and the speaker should work at that time. Install a Windows Vista Audio Driver Step Browse to Dell's Drivers and Downloads page for the Optiplex 755. Step Choose either the 32 or 64-bit version of Windows Vista from the Operating System drop-down menu. You need to choose the correct architecture for your operating system. If you're not sure whether your computer is a 32-bit or 64-bit system, you can find out by clicking Start, right-clicking 'Computer' and selecting 'Properties.' Step Expand 'Audio' and click 'Download File' next to the most recent driver version.

Step Choose 'Single file download' and click 'Continue' to download the file. Step Launch the downloaded EXE file. The program will prompt you for a directory to extract the driver files. By default, the files will extract into a subdirectory in C: Dell Drivers, although you can designate an alternate location if you want. Close the dialog box after extracting the files. Step Click Start, type 'Device Manager' in the Search box and click 'Device Manager' when it appears in the search results.

Hey all, maybe someone here can give me a reason why amd / ati doesn't support there graphics cards for windows 10. It shouldn't matter what card i have and i base that on the fact that nvidia supports every graphics card and integrated graphics adapter that i own and some are 10 year old.

Installation steps (for exe / zip). Save the driver files to your computer. Run the executable or extract the installation files to a location on your disk. Follow the steps displayed by the setup wizard. After installation, restart the computer.

If nvidia can give that kind of support then what is wrong with amd / ati. I don't need to know that most people don't use computer that are 10 years old but people really still do because not everyone is able to afford a new computer every couple three years as OS change. I am using dell desktop now from 2005 running windows 10 with a supported graphics card by nvidia.

So come on amd / ati what is your problem. Yes - I agree - WRONG SUPPORT FROM AMD! According to their page: no support for graphics cards older then HD 5000 series I have a 4850 card which is not supported. I get it running by using the native Win 10 driver (nothing else is in the propagated links on this site), but that means: NO ACCELERATED GRAPHICS (ie boring slow 3D content in a Browser Window) So using the card or integrated CPU graphics makes no difference in speed - the card is not more then a burner port - and I should throw it. But definitly not by exchanging it by one of those from AMD product line.

(To often disappointed by their software support) BTW: official release of the Radeon HD 4800 series on June 25, 2008, means AMD lifecycle == 7 years. Hey all, ok I decided to pick through my junk box and found an Asus M4A785-M motherboard with a ati radeon hd 4200 integrated graphics adapter. Installed windows 10 pro 64 bit and cool it all works real drivers and all. So now I must resend my earlier statements / complaining / bitching and whining about amd /ati and state that I do have faith restored by them for releasing a driver that works for at least one of my amd / ati products. Again I appreciate all help and advice from everyone and also for putting up and listening to my B.S.

As I am old and very impatient. Life is good. Hey all, ok I decided to pick through my junk box and found an Asus M4A785-M motherboard with a ati radeon hd 4200 integrated graphics adapter.

Life is good. This is better than just a working display.

Cinesouth Tamil Serial more. The display driver says ati hd 4200 display adapter. Whatever driver i got is a good one as the display is awesome as it always has been in windows 7 on this same adapter. I have my normal resolution of 1366x768. This is the 1st ati / amd display adapter i ever got to work on windows 10.

There is no ccc installed. What was installed was what came with the windows 10 clean install. When i installed techincal preveiw i only had a basic vga driver and only 1024 x768 resolution and it looked like crap. That also was not on this card. I am unable to tell you what the exact driver is as i have just entered the hospital for total teeth exaction and will be here for a few days. This is.the native Win 10 driver, as I guessed and it will be good enough for your needs.

But, let me explain my understanding of regular working display drivers: I bought in 01.2009 the ATI/ AMD HD4850 graphics adapter, because one of their promotion underlines has been 'HD realtime encoding' of h264/mpeg-4. At that time this topic has been subject of challenging hardware but nevertheless they promised - I bought - and - DRIVER NOT WORKING. Half year later they managed to get it work - after a lot of fixes.and I had changed to the concurrent working product line. Besides I'm using the card in its accelerated 3D graphics functionality context (games, webgl programming etc). In this context you are hooked on the special driver package of the card. You will get the full hd resolution out of the native Win 10 driver, but thats all. I got that even with the integrated GPU of my Intel processor!

But when it comes to performance you get a noisy crap blowing 200W in the air - its not even useless - its a waste! Again - cards like that are sold as expensive Hardware extension to fullfill special tasks. They rely on Manufacturer provided drivers to communicate with shader units on their GPU to get massive performance boosts. For example: you will see flowing waves on accelerated graphics else you get rare static drops in the watersurface of the WebGL canvas. If this driver isn't provided the card has to be considered garbage - you should buy a new one.

But - as of my short/long term experience - I wont buy it from a company driven by 'short lifecycle' principles: Sadly enough there is just one concurrent product line from nvidia, but their cards are better supported from the beginning and even after 10 years under Win 10. This will surely state my decision for the next buy (btw - I m unfortunatly not charged from nvidia by writing this) cheers - and good luck for your teeth (and of course the remaining Hardware) - pauwau. Ok it sounds as though it is the native windows 10 driver and that is ok as it is just going to be a desktop web surfer. I agree with you and i plan no more ati / amd purchases.

Sad but true as i like amd processors. Creative audio / labs is also on my stuff to not buy for the same reasons. I do and seem to still have good luck with nvidia graphics adapters and have always been able to get real drivers even with linux of course linux also offers the open source drivers and that is all that is available for ati / amd graphics adapters. Thanks for the input. In the hospital getting teeth cut out and implants installed.

I feel as though someone beat me in the face with a 2x4. This is.the native Win 10 driver, as I guessed and it will be good enough for your needs.

One of my laptops has an old 4860 mobility radeon, and the 'native' driver provided by Microsoft gives me full 3d acceleration (it runs Skyrim at the same FPS as the old Win7 install), though it doesn't magically provide DirectX 11 or 12 functionality. Not sure about H.264 acceleration though.
