Dell Inspiron 1720 Audio Problem

[Phan]

Hello,I have a near-perfect Dell Inspiron 1720. Everything in works except the sound. I cannot hear any sound whatsoever even with an ear phone or the external speakers or internal speakers. Please help in a practical way that would help resolve the nagging problem.

have you checked in device manager to make sure the on-board sound is enabled and/or that the drivers are correctly installed?
