In all likelihood, the sound card is in the laptop, but the driver may not be installed.
Go to the dell support website (http://support.dell.com) and enter the laptop type or (better) the Service Tag number. Then, in the download drivers section, look for the "Audio" section.
With luck, there will be only one type for your computer type.
Download and install the driver and you may have your sound.

Her computer should have a sound card build into it. They are normally part of the system board for all laptop computers. She is probably missing the software driver needed for Windows to see and use the card.
Go to http://support.dell.com and gl to their drivers and download section. Enter the express service code from the bottom of the laptop (or select the make and model). IT will take you to a page where you can download the software driver needed to use the sound card. Will probably listed as the "audio driver" rather then the sound card.
Once the software is installed, Windows should be able to detect and use the sound card.

Her laptop should have come with a soundcard, don't go buy one. Call DELL asap and tell them about this.
I have never heard of a laptop not coming with a sound card.
