Music skips and sometimes Hoster crashes

The sound comes from output jack that I set to Headphone

And I have no idea on the video

My output jack doesnt allow me to use hoster at all, so I use the audio from an hdmi converter.

I did find something on video

Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Interface - PCI
Video Card Memory - 2.03 GB
Mode - 1366 X 768 (32 bit) (60Hz)

USB ports only use a wireless mouse. Do want to add an external hard drive at some point

When I plug into Output Jack it gives me a half a dozen options I select Headphones from that list and I get sound

I select stereo external speakers but that probably won't make any difference in your case, but you can try. I had a terrible time using the onboard sound card . I was always getting audio dropouts, and got crashes when I used a usb mixer.
Dell laptops seem to carry a much higher latencythan other computers, that has been a known issue from Dell.

i have used external sound cards before (USB) should I try that or what alternative do I have?

The only thing that works for me is an Hdmi converter; I use that for converting hdmi to rca to the monitors I use for the singers and audience, and it has an audio send also. The audio comes out of that converter into my mixer. That may work for you.
