Can't get any volume out of my computer?

I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 that's about 6 months old. All of a sudden neither the internal speaker nor the headphone jack has any volume.

It was working fine earlier today then it just stopped. I already made sure it wasn't muted using the fn End key.

I also checked the Volume control on the Task bar. Any ideas as to what's up? Thanks.

    I would reinstall the driver.

    1. go to control panel

    2. switch control panel to classic view

    3. Open system icon

    4. CLick the Hardware tab

    5. CLick device manager

    6. Open sound, video, and game controllers

    7. Right click on the sound driver and click uninstall.

    once that is done, restart your computer and the driver should reinstall itself
