Hello, I am Nitika from the Dell Social Media outreach team.

By default, the Volume icon is not displayed when you initially installed on your system.

To enable the display of the Volume icon, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Sounds and Audio Devices.
3. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.
4. Click OK.
When you have the new desktop features enabled, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Sounds, click Speech, and then click Audio Devices.
3. Click Sounds, and then click Audio Devices.
4. Click Show volume control on the taskbar.
5. Click OK.

If that doesn't work then try this.

Go to "Start".."Control Panel"..."Internet Options"...Click the "Advanced Tab"...scroll down to multimedia and put a check mark in play sounds on websites.

Then go to "Tools"..."Manage Add ons"...and make sure everything is enabled.

Then close Internet Explorer and reopen

or

Go to Start -> Run -> and enter Services.msc
Scroll down to "Windows Audio".
Double click and change the startup type to Automatic

or

You can also try installing the audio driver

Undocked profile is if you've taken it off the dock (I have a docking station).

If you have speakers or a headphone hooked up to the docking station - the docking station is going to be handling the sound. Undocking it is going to change the handling to the laptop itself. *If* everything is working right.
