    I just got my Inspiron 1420 today and the sound was working (from the speakers). But once I reformatted to get rid of the bloatware, sound doesn't come out of speakers anymore? Drivers and everything are working fine and the strangest thing is that when I insert headphones, the sound is fine! :confused: :confused: :confused:

    just try reinstalling the drivers. also, make sure the sound is not muted anywhere in the audio controls.
