Alienware M18x BIOS Install Issues

I want to reinstall my BIOS because every time I power my laptop up from Restarting or Shutting Down, the speakers arent recognized, and my Volume icon in the system tray has a red X over it, and when clicked says that there are no speakers plugged in. I always have to put my laptop to sleep, close it for 5-10 minutes, and open it, and then the speakers are magically recognized. Recently, even when the speakers are recognized, theres no sound produced from them and I have to use headphones to hear things. Someone told me that my BIOS was probably to blame.
So I downloaded the BIOS from here at the Dell website, I try to run it (as Administrator) and this is what it gives me:

Does anyone have any idea/insight on this? I dont know what any of this means.
Thank you.

You might need to go through the previous versions otherwise it will not allow you to run the update, just click were it says other versions available and go one by one.

Let me know if that helps.
