No Audio Output Device is Installed.

I have just installed a new Dell computer. In the lower tool bar window their
is a red x next to the sound symbol. When I click on that symbol the error
message reads, " No Audio Output Device is Installed. Has anyone else had a
problem with Windows Vista on a Dell computer? I have tried everything and am
wondering how to install the Audio Output Device. I would love to have sound
on my computer! Appreciate your help.

Have you gone to the Dell site and see if there is a Vista driver for your
audio device?

You build PC's from scratch?
Do you mean you snap components together like Lego's.
Or do you physically create your own circuit boards and processor units ?
Do you mold the plastic yourself?

If its a multiple of seven, I will consider it.
Please forward your proposal of other multiples of seven fit as a name of
such enormous satiric genius.
Seven has previously stomped you, and fourteen is thrashing you beyond human
comprehension.
You may need a calculator !

You sure guess a lot.
Do you "guess" you are smart?
Do you "guess" you are a hot air balloon?
Do you "guess" senility goes away?
Do you "guess" Vista is beyond your capability?
Do you "guess" I am far beyond your ability to think?
Keep "guessing"....it's your modus operandi.

If you just received the computer (which I find doubtful...I think something
is wrong here), it most definately will work. What does 'just installed a
new Dell computer' mean? We have many many dozens of Dells and NONE was
delivered with any component that did not work!
