Dell Docking Station
I recently upgraded from XP Pro SP2 to Vista Business 32-bit (the one that
comes with Technet). I am using a Dell D810. My audio drivers work fine
when the laptop is out of the docking station, but I have no audio at all
when in the docking station. Dell says this is a Microsoft problem, and a
fix will have to come from MS. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

Re: Dell Docking Station
Try updating the chipset drivers from Intel.
It may even need a BIOS update, but who knows with Dell, they say one thing
and MS says another.

Re: Dell Docking Station
I ended up using one of my TechNet support calls. (Chapped my butt to have
to do that, but it is what it is.) Anyway, the MS tech was very helpful, and
managed to dig deep enough into the Dell infrastructure to find the driver I
needed - and that DELL HAD ON HAND that would have resolved this for me, had
they only told me about it in the first place.

So, I once again have sound when docked. I'm still missing a number of
other things, but am slowly working through all that.

So far, I'm only lukewarm about the whole process, and wholeheartedly am NOT
for rolling out Vista company wide. My laptop is less responsive than it was
while on XP (and I'm not using a low-end laptop), and this whole driver
debacle is not something I want repeated over a fleet of 200 units.
