Sudden Audio Loss

Hi All,
I'm running Vista on a new Dell Inspiron 1720 notebook, and for the first couple
of months everything was going relatively well. However, in the middle of the day
yesterday all audio on my computer suddenly stopped working. I don't remember having
made any changes, but suddenly my computer wouldn't play audio files or make any
sound whatsoever. I've tried downloading the most recent versions of my audio drivers
(SigmaTel high definition audio codec), uninstalling and re-installing the drivers,
reinstalling all of the audio software that came with the computer, and even doing
a system restore from a save point several days prior to the event, but none of these
had any effect. I thought it might be hardware related, but I ran some tests and
the hardware itself works fine; if I go into the bios menu or boot from Dell's diagnostic
partition I can at least get the some basic beeps. Does anyone have a thought about
what might be going on here?
