You need to install drivers. this is normal. I can see from that mess of text you posted that your computer is a dell.

do you have a model number? after that it will be simple.

 

[EDDIE138301]

It is a dell Optiplex GX260

When I go to dell support and try to download the audio driver or the chipset, the message that Posted earlier is what I am getting.

 

[PohTayToez]

Download all of the Windows updates before trying to install sound drivers.

It might help to not use dells download manager and to just use your browser to download the file and run it.

I did, and the message I got above text is what I keep getting.

go here http://support.dell.com/support/dow...osl=en&catid=&impid&SystemID=PLX_PNT_P4_GX260

and download everything that you need

You need to install the chipset drivers prior to the sound card drivers. You will find them on linkin's link.
