This means that some hardware component has not been completely installed. Go to Device Manager and check if any of the listed components has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. Select this component and click uninstall in the toolbar.\n\nYou have not mentioned the version of your operating system.

If it is Windows, try this.\n\nGo to device manager\nDelete the device entry for your sound card\nRestart Windows.\n\nWith any luck, your computer will detect a "new" sound card device and re-install the software for it.\n\nGood luck!

Go to http://support.dell.com/ and type in your Service Tag. It should be on a sticker somewhere on the case.

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:\n\n1. Go to the control panel, check sound.  Is it muted?  Is anything muted?\n2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.\n3. Make sure the card is seated properly.\n\nOnce you've done these, go to the control panel, then system, then hardware, then device manager and make sure the computer knows the card is present and installed.  Make sure it thinks it's running.\n\nGood luck.

Check if you have all the correct drivers installed. You said that the PC had recently been formated so it could be as simple as incorrect video or mouse (trackpoint, touchpad) drivers.\nYou should check the manufacturer's support site to get the latest version of drivers. If you don't know the address just post your make and model and we'll try to find it.\nHope this helps!

Check your sound card and video card via the device manager to make sure they isn't a problem with that.

Try clicking start > control panel > mouse.  When the dialog box opens you should have a Hardware tab. Click on that and towards the middle of the box you should see the device status (if it's working properly.)  You should also see a properties button. If you click on that another dialog box opens with a Driver tab.  Click on that and you can check for an updated device driver.  If all else fails, you can use the Troubleshoot button to see if you can isolate the problem.\n\nplrr

Check out what the brand is for your sound card. There should have been a CD included with your laptop when you purchased it.\n\nInstall the drivers from that CD, and you should be fine. If there was no CD, call the company or individual you bought the laptop from, in order to get the model of your sound card. With that information, you can go to the manufacturer's website and download the drivers, installing them manually.

look under the cover on the front of the computer or on the bottom. The best way would be to look through the handbook for the computer or call the company.

Are you trying to convince me or do you have a technical question? If you want to know whether your PC has sound, give its make and model number and whether it has been modified!

As far as I can tell, on the mother board.\n\nI did see add-on sound and video upgrade packages at BestBuy the other day. As I don't have a laptop anymore I didn't pay a lot of attention to them or the pricing. Check them and CompUSA  and ask for add-on video upgrades. I beleive it was from ATI and was USB pluggable.\n\nGood luck.
