Dell XPS8300 - no sound
Since my XPS 8300 is almost 5 years old,I am guessing that the onboard sound AMD HD Audio Device may have died of old age. I am a retired Senior Help Desk Analyst (retired in 2001) so I not technically challenged. I've run through all the troubleshooting guides, services are running, uninstalled the device and rebooted, etc.
If anyone knows of some obscure fix or test (Dell Testing doesn't run, just hangs there), I would appreciate a response. If there is no magic bullet, I guess it's time for either a sound card or a new PC (I hate to give this one up, it has run so good).
