Yesterday i was listening to some podcasts from itunes on my laptop, then the sound cut off, and itunes said there was a problem with my audio device, so i went on the dell was site downloaded the sigmatel audio driver againand it as okay til i turned it on this morning to find that there was no sound but itunes did not detect the problem this time, the driver is in the same place but it doent play sound.

Please help

Have you tried with a different set of speakers or a headset?

EDIT: Before someone points it out, I know it's highly unlikely it's a hardware problem if a software recognizes it, but you can't be too sure.

I tried with other speakers but the sound is very quiet. I normally have headphones plugged in, and the problem still occurs

Hmm...

You have a Dell computer, yes?

Are the sound jacks on-board or are they on a sound card? If it's a sound card you should swap with another computer and see if the other machine now has the problem.

If you read his post you would know that it is a laptop.

I had a similar problem to this before, and i solved it by disabling my Sound driver and enabling it again.

Right click on My Computer > Manage > Device Manager > sound, video and game controllers.

Right click on your sound card and click Disable. Then Right click again and click Enable.

Hope this helps.
