I already tried all the formats man :( I even turned off audio enhancements from speaker properties. (I saw it on one of the forums from a alienware 15 user. He seems to get it to work after doing what you told me to do. 

what does it say under controller info?

I've personally had issues with my speakers not working too (on a desktop though), and what ended up fixing it for me is updating the bios... ? You could try that. :)

Yes. here. Why does it show 3 jack inputs in the screenshot? when I have only 2 inputs on the notebook. (one for earphones and the other one is for the mic)

Yup, should be just on Dell's website, near the drivers. :) EDIT: installing a newer bios can be as easy as running a .exe, or as difficult as having to mess with a usb stick and stuff. In general, not that difficult though. :)

It has to be software. I'll do as you say tomorrow. I'm done for today. It's 4.00am in here. My brain is about to explode because of this piece of BS :3

Thank you so much for your help!
