    Well its been kinda annoying really the sound works fine and all but when i close my laptop and open it back up from sleep mode the sound doesnt work anymore. It has a red x beside the sound icon on the taskbar like as if it was muted. But when i try to put it back on etc it says looking for drivers then after a while it appears with "no driver installed. :S
    Weird but when i reboot the laptop it works fine only happens if i close the lid and open it back up. anyone else have this issue?
    Im using A09 bios.

    Sounds like a driver issue, try reinstalling your sound driver. If this happened after an update (sometimes windows update updates drivers), try rolling back the driver. Your best bet is to install the driver from Dell's website.
