Right i think mine has just gone up the spout.
Plugged in a set of headphones still no sound, would this mean that the sound card is bust. Seems strange as one hour it was working and the next it wasnt. 
Anything i can do just to confirm it is the soundcard and not the speakers?

go into device manager, is there an '!' over the icon?
Also, what make/model is the sound card (can be found from device manager). it may pay to update the drivers for it just in case.

How come?
Although the creative drivers are beta, I have two different creative cards with machines running vista with no problems at all (gaming pc & media center).

goto dell.com, put your service tag number into their screen and it'll give you all the relevant drivers you need.
