     I don't know about the OP's computer, but IIRC my UEFI has a   
   diagnostic for sound, so that can be used to try to rule out any OS   
   issues.   
      
     The OP's computer is apparently a Dell, but it might have something   
   similar to HP's 'Support Assistant' which has a 'Fix audio issues'   
   troubleshooter.   
      
     And, don't know about Windows 10, but Windows 11 has an 'Audio'   
   troubleshooter (Settings -> System -> Troubleshoot -> Other   
   trouble-shooters). A little akward to use, but maybe it does the trick.
