I had the same problem but Vista SP1 was never offered in Windows update because of the Sigma Tel driver issue.
I downloaded the stand alone version of SP1, uninstalled the Sigma Tel driver, installed SP1, re installed the driver and had no sound.
I went to Dell support,/drivers/audio and downloaded driver R171786.
I'm not sure if this is helpful to you but thought I would share my experience. Ann
