The IDT audio update is due to an issue with Vista SP1. Many installs
have an older version of one of the driver files that is not compatible.
Unforunately, the one offered by Microsoft is screwing up many
computers.
If you have a recent Dell desktop, you can try R173209.exe from Dell:

In addition, it works find on my XPS410, which is similar to the
Dimension 9200.
After updating my audio, I was able to download and install SP1 through
Windows Update. My only scare is that after the SP1 update, Windows
defaulted to a USB headset instead of my speakers. I had to go into the
Sound settings and change the default back.
