I have just been in touch with Dell, who manufactured my laptop, and have been told.1.That a sound card was in my computer when it was purchased.2.That the audio driver was automatically installed when the laptop was switched on.3.Two weeks ago I took it back to the computer shop that installed it originally to have it closed down and completely reinstalled as new,due to a couple of mistakes I had made I thought it better to start again from scratch rather than go back through everything I had downloaded to correct mistakes.Big mistake don't do it. Apparently by completely uninstalling my laptop and starting again it uninstalled the audio driver never to return. Dell have told me the audio driver was a default setting that will now have to be reinstalled. Inow have to get in touch with a software team ,via Dell as I havn't got their phone number, and depending on the time it takes for them to remedy the problem the cost is from 21pounds upwards. I hope this helps someone else. Maria
