I think it is for a PCI expansion port. If you have nothing in there, you can probably live without. You apparently have already tried to update the driver thru device manager - since you said "the pc cannot find the driver for me". That's all you can do. I would not worry about it, if everything else works.

Do you have a separate sound card. Or are you using the integrated one?

pumpkinman,

The 320 is an older model machine. Do you still have the original Dell Drivers and Utilities CDrom ??

Go To Device manager: You will see a list. Click and and Expand (System Devices). Anything missing there ?? Click menu item (Hidden Devices). Also, what function is missing on your computer IE; Sound, Video Resolution Changeable, ETC....

Did you download Intel MB Chipset driver for the machine ??

Post Back.

Regards,
Rick P.

Click on link below. Pick O/S, download and install audio drivers plus whatever else you need. Reboot.
