No sound - Dell Dimension 5150

I've installed the latest Arch Linux installation and set everything up, as I'm using it as my main OS instead of Vista now but the only thing that doesn't work is the sound

I've looked high and low for drivers and can't find anything anywhere.. every time I click "test" on the system settings bit I just get a popup saying this device does not work (useful)

Please help..

I'm using the exact same system and I have the same problem. I did everything like in the beginners wiki described but the sound just won't work. Can someone help?
