What is that?

Do you mean a sound card or do you mean an audio driver? Please give details of what you did.

Given so many I can only suggest you look at the settings for audio enhancements.

But it's just for the speaker selection. Look for any reverb, bass boost and others.

Frankly I advise against driver updaters and such. Why fix what works?

Use driver rollback to the driver that worked. And forget hunting for drivers. Get it from dell.
