I've never had this problem before, but I was forced to reformat recently. Once I did, I had immediate problems with my audio. Nothing I've installed has worked and I'm afraid I went on an audio-driver-download-spree so I'm scared I have like 659685 drivers for different things on my computer.
Here's my info;

I want to get this fixed already! I've gone on Intel's website, Dell's- everywhere I could go and nothing seems to have worked.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Thank you!
