EDIT: when i try to go into the volume control it says no mixer device can be found

Check in your control panel, system, hardware tab, device manager and see if there is a problem with your sound driver. Is your sound onboard or is it a separate PCI card? If you have onboard then download and re-install your motherboard drivers and that should fix the problem.

You said it is a Dell. The drivers you need may also be on the Drivers and Utilities cd.
