If sound is working via headphones but not via speakers, but you have the drivers, it's probably not working because the sound is outputting to the headphone audio port instead of the speakers. Go into settings and make sure the built in speakers instead of the headphones/port is selected.
If that doesn't help, look here: Unexpectedly lost speaker output. Headphone output works fine
Make sure that sound is not muted. Have a good look at the settings. Make sure the correct sound output is selected.
That Dell is certified by Ubuntu so I'm sure it should work.
Have you tried these drivers?:
1Install the sound driver packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
