Hi. Am new to the forum so not sure how it works as yet. Here goes. I have a Dimension 4700 with OS XP Home edition. It was necc. for me to reinstall but since no luck with any sound. I downloaded ADi 198x Audio Driver then have a message: "No AD1 Codec Driver Installed" so have no idea what this is or where to go for it?
Just go to this website

Click on Download drivers. Put in the service tag number and away you go
Thanks for reply. For some reason when I go to Dell download and put tag #, response is a list of drivers I need - okay. However when I click on the "blue down arrow" to the left of the driver, all that happens is the arrow flips up - no new info at all. Finally called Dell Tech, and happily was given the audio driver - ADi 198x ... File: R94481.EXE - I downloaded this and installed, shut computer down & restarted. Then get the "No AD1 Codec Driver Installed". So now I am at a loss.
Try going into Device Manager. Find the device with the yellow exclamation mark. Update the driver from the file that you just downloaded and/or extracted from that .exe file.
Good Luck!
As an add on to the posts above, have you done all the updates for XP since you reinstalled? If not, I would suggest doing so making sure you have the latest service pack.
I've seen one other possible dell analog device driver. Don't know if this helps
