Wouldn't the drivers affect all sound? How come the speakers plugged to the docking station work? |

type in the service tag(located on the bottom of the laptop) in dell support page it will give you all the downloads for the laptop. Reinstall the soundcard drivers.

no necessarily. I could easily see how poorly written drivers would allow the port for external speakers to work while disabling the internal sound. 2 different parts of the sound card. |

ALSO go to the control panel. then open multimedia or sounds and audio devices... click the audio tab.. make sure sound playback is NOT grayed out. should list your sound card here! if it doesn't your sound card is not installed correctly.
