Well, i came home one day and found my computer had restarted dude to a vista update. I logged on and did the usual thing, but the computer was doing the system beep like randomly and a lot so i restarted. windows had me go through the system repair and when i came back to log on, i realized i had no sound.

i have spent countless hours online with dell, talking to them about different ways to fix it, they even had me send it in before running an easy test to see if it was hardware, which it wasn't.

i get messages like no audio device installed and other things like that. i have reinstalled the drivers from dell, and have messed with different things and nothing has worked, but i feel like i can do so much more to try and fix it.

i really hope you guys here can help, i would really like to not have to reinstall vista over something this little yet important, i feel like i shouldn't have to although thats what dell was telling me.

i hope you guys can help!

System specs:
Dell Inspiron 6400
1.5 gb ram
