You have a laptop, and they don't usually have a physical sound card ...they just have an audio chip soldered directly onto the motherboard.
In your case, having "codecs" installed isn't helping you because the computer is not seeing the audio hardware. You should try installing the correct audio driver.
Microsoft and Dell updates are also irrelevant.
Go to the Support section of the Dell website and search for the audio drivers. Download the one for you computer . There is only one listed.
They are also on a CD that came with the computer, if you can find it.

My device manage won't get me a physical piece of hardware but it lists under "sound, video and game controllers" 1. Audio Codecs 2.Legacy Audio Drivers 3.Legacy video capture devices 4.Media control devices 5.Video codecs I have tried all the microsoft and dell updates and I get nothing that works. OOn the download drivers for the BUS deviceit tries to download IDT HIGH Definition Audio CODEC but it goes about halfway and the says "can not install this driver" and gives me a code 10. Code 10 from who?
