    Hi all,

    A few weeks ago I received my M14x from the outlet. It was pretty much fully loaded, including the Sound Blaster upgrade. Of course, now that I'm looking around I realize the software is not installed and I can't find it on Dell's site. Anyone know where I can download it?

    P.S. I tried searching, but forum search doesn't turn up any results?

    Thanks,

    Braden

    If you chose to buy the SoundBlaster, then you should be receive a CD when you receive your laptop too, and you can also call Dell to request another one as well. However you can download it from this link: Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi, 3-4 month ago, some user here use to ask this question so I upload one for them, I archive this straight from the CD, however you will need a CD key, again you can request one from Dell.

    Thanks, CGSDR! I didn't notice the CD, but I'll check and/or request one from Dell.

    Yes, it is a licensed product, it is not free, as I said in my last post, you will need to contact Dell for the key but I'm not sure if they give you or not if you did not order it along when you buy the laptop. There're more files/Drivers that relate/Useful to M14x, link in my sig.

    Try again now, it's fix. Damn it for some reason my Google Chrome 16 Beta has mess the BB Code up, the reason behind the broken link is because of Google Chrome, I have to use FireFox to fix it.
