    I have been reading and looking for some help for a week. I upgraded the BIOS to A09 and had the slow boot problem so I downgraded to A07 and had the no bootable device problem so I then recovered the system and saved my data and then reinstalled Windows 10 and ever since my left speaker has no sound or very low sound no matter what Realtek driver I use. The latest, the one before, the one for windows 8.1, nothing will work,

    I so tired of trying new things I just do not know what to do,

    I have installed all the chip drivers and the dell controls

    nothing so far has worked

    Microsoft generic drivers do not work

    Has anyone had this problem and what did you do?
