    Hello guys,
    Have a weird problem and just wanted some advice on what to do next, before sending in my laptop to dell.. My laptop speakers wont output any sound whatsoever. While i can hear those very same sounds via headphone jack/hdmi.. No music, windows system sounds etc via the speakers, but can hear them via headphone/hdmi.. I have installed and updated the latest drivers.. Reformatted and reinstalled operating system (windows 7 home 64 bit), yet no results.. While I am convinced that it could be a hardware problem, I was wondering if you guys could suggest any more tests/things to do..

    Thanks..
