are the drivers for a dell 8400 good fro win 7? the reason i ask is because i got one with ubuntu 10.4 on it and i changed to win 7 the problem is that i had to add a sound card for sound and i cant use the headphone jack in the front now and i wanted to know if i can get the audio drivers to work from the motherboard.

If Dell says so on the site (enter your service tag) they have suitable drivers. If not, it's doubtful.
Then the easiest solution is another sound card (either internal or a USB one). Those are very cheap.
