Title: Dell Latitude 7520 showing up as Latitude 7320 + "No audio devices found." Could my laptop be hacked?

Hey everyone,

I'm facing a really strange issue with my laptop, and I'm honestly confused.

Read until the end for better understanding, because the strange part start at end.

When I boot up my laptop and plug in my headphones, there's no sound at all. At first, I thought my headphones were faulty, so I unplugged them and tried adjusting the volume. The volume slider appears, but it doesn't actually change the volume. When I hover over the speaker icon in the taskbar, it says "No audio devices found."

I watched several YouTube tutorials and tried almost every fix I could find, but nothing worked.

The really strange part happened when I opened Settings to run the Windows troubleshooter. I noticed my device was named as "Unidentified device" in settings. The troubleshooter also failed to fix anything.

Then I went into Device Manager and uninstalled the device with the yellow warning icon, hoping Windows would reinstall it after a restart. Unfortunately, the audio problem remained.

But here's what completely shocked me.

I have always known my laptop model as Dell Latitude 7520. However, after restarting, Windows started showing my laptop as Dell Latitude 7320.

At first, I thought maybe I had remembered the model incorrectly. But when I originally bought this laptop, I saved all of its specifications in a Notepad file. I checked that file, and it clearly says Dell Latitude 7520.

Now I'm really confused.

Could this be caused by a corrupted BIOS, motherboard replacement, incorrect firmware, Windows reading the wrong SMBIOS information, or something else? Is there any chance this could be malware or that my laptop has been hacked? Or my laptop haunted 💀?

Has anyone experienced something similar?

I'd really appreciate any advice on: How to fix the "No audio devices found" issue. Why my laptop model changed from Latitude 7520 to Latitude 7320, and whether I should be concerned.

UPDATE: it fixed.

I think it's time. I don't know how many relapses I've had, but I've decided there will be no more relapses because I realized how weak fapping has made me. Fapping turned me into a person I never wanted to become and has held me back from becoming the person I want to be. And I just realized: why should I keep following a habit that stops me from becoming who I want to be and keeps me stuck as the person I never want to be?

So that's it, I think. Congratulate me, guys, because this is going to be my last relapse.

I can’t fall asleep unless I’m hugging something like pillow or blanket by holding it against my chest or face, like in the reference image.
