Turns out the problem was the SPEAKERS. I am not sure weather you have tried different headphones or speakers connected to the headphone jack or not but just a thought. Best of luck getting resolved (and let us know what the problem was). Thanks! David
From: Greg on 10 Mar 2010 14:50 I haven't tried different earphones. I can't hear the sounds thru the speakers. Another person said it was due to the lack of shielding around the earphone assembly inside the notebook. I may follow his recommendations and take it apart and shield the earphone assembly better and see if that works. This seems to be a big issue with the Vostro 1500 model. I honestly dont remember having this problem when I had vista loaded on it. I may just be going slighty nuts.

I have a E510. I should try to see if I can hear anything on it just out of curiosity.
