Unfortunately uploaded images are only visible to the person who posted them and to Dell reps, but try restarting (or starting) the Windows Audio service under Administrative Tools > Services. If that’s stopped or disabled, it can cause the error about not having an audio output device.

The second image I posted was a blue crash screen.
The Audio service is running normally, not stopped or disabled. Restarting it does not seem to have any affect on the audio output error message.
Any other ideas?

So..... it randomly started working again. No explanation.
The audio device in Device Manager is back to.
No indication this was in any update. It just happened.
