No Sound!!

[xSiCkGiRlx]

About two weeks ago, I had a lot of spyware and malware on my computer. I have since installed AVG Anti-Virus and Microsoft Anti-Spyware. So, I no longer have spyware or malware, I have also been scannning daily for viruses. So, far the program is not finding any viruses also.
At the present time I am not receiving any kind of sound from my computer. Not even from the CD-RW drive. I have tried uninstalling the sound devices from my computer. After, I restart, the computer finds the hardware and reinstalls it and all is good, UNTIL, I turn off my computer at the end of the day. When I go to turn my computer on the audio devices are disabled again. Please help. I need someone's help!!

Well first off MS spyware isnt a complete solution.
I would advise Adaware,Spybot and Counterspy to be thouroughly positive its clean of spyware.
Also unfortunately free avg isnt really good either hence why its free

Try using Everest Home Edition: http://www.lavalys.com/products/over...?pid=1&lang=en

It should tell you what motherboard you have, and some other info as to Sound card (if any), etc.

Give us the exact Brand/Model Number of the Motherboard, Sound Card.

..and all is good, UNTIL, I turn off my computer ..

btw xSiCkGiRlx has another thread open about how to update bios ..

Soooo-ooo .. my answer to 'both' is to go here @ dell support, & start by grabbing an updated bios & following the instructions on Dell's site about how to install what it calls 'flashBIOS Updates' , & I hope you'll find once that is applied that it should then work as expected .
