That prebuilt supports a maximum of Windows Xp. In your case, you can download the latest audio driver under the Xp drop down selection, here, then install the driver in compatibility mode, i.e, Right click installer>Compatibility mode>Windows Xp(from drop down menu), check the Run as Administrator box then hit Apply>OK.

For the sake of relevance, what OS version(not edition) are you on? BIOS version up to date for your OptiPlex?
