I heard back from the tech support guy at Dell. He seems to be totally clueless about the whole subject of audio drivers, and what drivers were installed, and what available drivers might represent an improvement over what was installed in this computer.
Anyway, an acceptable level of functionality has been achieved, thanks to Gale, Steve and kozikowski.
Am I the one who has the privilege of adding the word 'RESOLVED' to the original post? Or can only you guys do that?

Audio is the last vestige of technical black magic. People who can go for ten minutes about video oversampling and display frame rates go all "deer-in-headlights" when you want to add sound.
Sound without the picture is a radio show or podcast. Picture without the sound is a rehearsal...

When you are satisfied with the outcome of one of your topics, feel free to add "[SOLVED]" to the subject line in your final reply and in your original post.
Only moderators and admin can lock a topic, but we can do that after you have marked it "solved".
