The audio works and can be adjusted using the Fn + Page Up or Page Dn keys and all the settings are fine in control panel ( ihave checked all the recommendations above).
The problem still remains that the 3 Dell volume control buttons do not work.
I have this same problem. I replace the power circuit board but that did not fix it.
for some time the 3 buttons worked intermitantly. The mute button was the last to go. Isuspect the motherboard is on its' way out.
same prob on freshly loades XP Pro SP3 Inspiron 8500 (Bios A08). Audio functons from Fn keys but not from hinge-cover keys. Quickset does not help...nothing has worked...not even Dell's support.
