Hi Carol, the following has come from David:
"I'm not sure if you've tried the dell website already, but I had a
look on the Dell website for drivers for your XPS M1210 laptop. The
driver for the sigmatel sound card is available from the following
page which contains a "download now" link:
http://tinyurl.com/2uwnck
Also on that page, are the following instructions for enabling stereo
mix:
To enable Stereo Mix:
1. Run Sounds and Audio Devices Properties from Control Panel 2.
Click Audio tab, Volume (Sound Recording) 3. Click Options,
Properties, Recording 4. Enable Stereo Mix slider, click OK 5. Select
Stereo Mix as input device
Just to note that the main page for drivers for your laptop is:

Re the installing of the drivers,
after downloading, run the file (which is r127097 (and an exe file)
and just follow the prompts. It did work fine for us here.
Suggest you might want to do it when you've got sighted assistance
around, as if the driver doesn't work, you may lose speech unless
you've got a hardware synth available.
Hope this is helpful.

Thanks David, Really grateful. Seems to work now. Have been
puzzling over this for some time too. Interestingly enough, I spoke
to Dell today who were unable to provide the solution which you have
done. Very many thanks.
Carol, you could try David's advice if your laptop is a XPS M1210.
Works well here.

Hi David, I now suspect that the prob is in fact a driver issue.
Both my partner and I have different dell laptops but both using
SigmaTel High definition audio soundcaards. Cindy's machine, an
Inspiron 9400 with XP media went first, and following the
installation of a new driver, she's fine. Mine however, a dell XPS
M1210 with XP Home silenced speech totally on the two drivers we
tried.
Looks as though there's quite a bit about the failures of SigmaTel
with some Dell machines, and the only suggestion as a last resort
seems to be a USB soundcard. What a nuisance! Any other
suggestions? Haven't used driver.com etc before. Do you have any
knowledge?
Thanks.
