Interesting. I just changed it from S3 to S1 and tried Sleep mode and it came
back WITH sound! But (there's always a 'but' hey?) it seems Sleep mode in S1
is merely shutting off the hard-drive as all the fans (CPU, Power supply
etc..) are Still ON whereas Sleep mode in S3 seems completely silent in
comparison.
I'll need to research this further maybe on the Dell forums but it appears
that there is a large difference in power consumption between S1 and S3
Suspend modes.
