    I can't get my sound ( Audigy built-in ) and bluetooth device to work correctly after install Win XP pro. Is there anyway to make them work under Win XP?

    My laptop came with Vista home basic but I uninstall it and setup my XP pro. I tried all the drivers from Dell website but I still can't make XP see those devices. :mad: :mad:

    in dell web site, if u choose xp for 1520, you cannot choose bluetooth and sound blaster audigy. i chat with technical support and they told me that there is no driver for xp, thats why you cannot choose it.

    I have XP Pro installed and all hardware in regular use tested and working. I have no way to test the Bluetooth module, but it appears to be setup correctly.
