sound no longer works after windows update
Brand new box. Dell Precision T3500.
I came into work this morning, and apparently Windows Update had run overnight. Now, I have no sound capability whatsoever. I go to Sounds applet and on Volume tab it says "No Audio Device". On all tabs, every option is disabled/greyed-out : Device Volume, Speaker Settings, Sound Playback, Sound Recording, MIDI music playback, Voice playback, Voice recording. |

Download and install the latest hardware device driver for your computer from Dell. http://support.dell.com/support/down...&catid=&impid= Pick your OS and get the driver appropriate for your system.
