Hey all, I'm using a Dell Windows XP laptop, and I'm having a problem with the sound. I've been using this for about 7 months or so and I've had no problems before, but as of two days ago my sound has just stopped working. I've checked the volume controls and they're all up high. It's definitley not on mute, and I've even gone through the troubleshooting and check out if the right device was enabled and there were no problems there.
So why is there still no sound???!!!
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Or can anyone offer any tips on what I could do to remedy this situation?

Is there a chance you got water in it? For instance, if you bring your computer in the bathroom while you shower, the water vapor gets into the computer. Sounds stupid, but I know people who have ruined their laptops that way.
Maybe you accidentally dropped it?
Have you tried restarting it?
You might want to just take it into Circuit City or Best Buy to have someone look at it, seeing as you've done all you can do with the troubleshooting.
Almost everyone I've known who has had a Dell laptop has been screwed with so many problems. I know people whose computers suddenly shut down and wouldn't turn on again. It couldn't be fixed so they had to get entirely new laptops. [ ellegirl606's advice column | Ask ellegirl606 A Question ]
