It just disappeared one day.
I checked all the settings and everything that gotta be checked is. Basically everything is the same it was before just the audio is gone.

However I once heard something coming out of the built in speakers so it can't be the audio card gone bad.

Any suggestion what to do?

What ever you suggest...please keep in mind I am not a computer buff. (I know my way around but only "so far")

reinstall the audio drivers or restore the laptop to a previuos date, Make sure the volume is not muted. you should have a small speaker in the try if its got a red line or x its muted

Already tried the restoring, a message popped up telling windows cannot restore the system...
Nothing is muted and headset won't work neither.

I would like to try reinstalling the audio driver, how EXACTLY do I proceed with that?

Never mind, I googled it.

No problem all you need to do is find out what audio chip is in your laptop to do that go to system info this will tell you the vendor like Nvidia and the model like m220. When you get this info go the the vendors site and look in the download drivers. Enter your model and download the newest driver they have for your model

go to youtube and play a video. Use the sound control on the video itself to turn up the volume and see if that does it. Make sure your comp's is turned up before you turn up the video volume control.

Sometimes the volume is just turned down on your video player.

Also check the mute button to see if that is on.

Well I deleted the audio driver and it was saying windows update will catch that and update it to the new one.

I should have expected it won't do that lol

So now I am f'ing around trying to fix that.

ya dont believe what microsoft says. The audio driver is not from microbugsoft. Normally if you do that it requires a reboot. You should be able to find it. If you can give me some more details like model and make of the audio chip I can find it for ya.

ALSO IF YOU d/l POWER SUIT 2011. I can send you the activation code. It has a proram that will update all your drivers that you want to update.

Have you tried to restore your system using the System Tool?
You can do it if you have created Restore Points, if you choose a date before the deletion of the sounds drivers sometimes they reappear just like magic.
Beware if you are not going to loose info or important settings with the System Restore.
