I'm not sure where to begin. It was working fine in November. We moved it to another room and as far as I can remember there was still sound, then one day my daughter turned the computer off (with out closing down) and when it started again there was no sound. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone w/Dell who checked all my sound settings and said everything was fine, then opened another user acct & I had sound again. She told me to share my files then delete the old user that didn't work, but as soon as I shared the files I have no sound again and can't fix it this time. Any suggestions?

Is it possible that it was an update that went wrong and by rebooting the computer it messed with the sound?

I am no computer genious so any help would be appreciated.
