Hello,
I have an old Dell Inspiron 8500 and I cant find the audio driver - can someone please let me know where I can find it :)

Thanks
 
Solution
well you could try using the Windows driver update option in the Device Manager.

or delete the Dell cookie, go back to the Dell website, download the driver by choosing the other option using your web browser to download instate of the Dell Download Manager.

or you can go and visit the different hardware manufacturer websites.
