Hey, I'm not very tech savvy and I was clearing out some useless crap in 'add or remove programs' when I accidently deleted something that made my sound stop working. I have no idea what it was that I deleted but there is no sound output anymore, not just with my speakers but with my headphones as well. Computer volume is not muted, neither are the speakers or any of the media programs I try.

When I go to device manager's sound video and game controllers, the following things show up.

Audio Codecs
Legacy and Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Logitech Mic (PTZ)
Media Control Devices
SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC
Video Codecs

Hello,

You must have deleted your audio drivers. Don't worry, should be an easy fix

LINK

You're going to want the Creative Labs one, I'm pretty sure you still have your SIGMATEL drivers. If not, try that one.

For future reference - go to the dell website and choose Drivers & Downloads on the bottom. Type in your service tag to find your exact computer (yours is DJDSQB1) . Drivers compatible with your computer will show up.

Let me know what you get,

-Tony
