Usually that is almost always a driver problem such as outdated or corrupt driver. Instead of adding Legacy hardware, have you tried simply clicking on the driver executable file (sorry if you tried that already as your post was not clear on that issue)? Or in Device Manager on the properties of the Realtek High Definition Audio click on update driver. You also could click on the Realtek High Definition Audio in Device Manager and choose uninstall. Then reboot the system and let Windows find and install the driver.
Also run system diagnostics just to be sure the audio device is not having problems. Restart the system and at the Dell splash screen start tapping F12. Run full diagnostics paying attention to the audio results.
I am having the same problems with my computer and yes it happened right after an update! I did get it fix by doing and update but then I made the mistake and did another update and now its not working again with the red circle and white x and I have done it all including going back to factory settings....All this got me was no saved pass codes and I also have to re-load all of the programs I have added to my laptop and I am getting very frustrated....I have even had Dell go thru it for me and they could not fix it....Someone out there please Help!
