Sounds like you have lost your sound card drivers. Device manager will tell you what sound (onboard/card) you have. Once you have identified what you have d/load and install the appropriate drives from the manufacturers website.0

If you have a 'driver' CD which came with PC - run this and let it install all drivers - in particular the sound ones.
Otherwise it's the control panel I'm afraid :eek:

Ahhh, Dell's are easy; just pump your service tag into their website and it'll bring up all the drivers you need for your system...........just download and run
