    So i reinstalled windows 7 on my alienware m17x r3 b/c the speakers are not working hoping it would fix the problem. Ended competely getting rid of all the drivers and my speakers still dont work! Right now the biggest issue is not being able to detect wireless at all. I can only go online via ethernet which is a pain in the rear and a huge problem if im away from home. I tried downloading all the drivers offered on dell's website, but none of them will install.
