Hello. Take a look at the No Audio FAQ. Start with the sense pin test. If that passes then try reinstalling the audio driver.

Oops. Because you are getting an error message do not bother with the sense pin test. Start with Dell Diagnostics audio tests.

I would try using System Restore to see if that resolves the problem. If not, go to the Audio Driver FAQ and
> delete driver files from the hard drive and download a fresh copy (sections 2 & 3)
> delete driver files from the hard drive and let Windows install its generic version of an HD audio driver (Sec 2 & 6)
If still getting the error message after these 2 steps then probably not a driver problem.
