No Sound After Reinstall except through HDMI
I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, my laptop came new installed with Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything works fine and showed no errors. When I tried to play any sound, nothing works. The equalizer on the speaker shows sound going up and down but still no sound. Nothing is showing being muted, I've checked all the settings many times, etc. I've let windows find the drivers, I've manually tried drivers (Vista_Win7_Win8_R270) nothing works. I have two drivers Realtek High Definition Audio and High Definition Audio Device installed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled trying only one driver, etc. I get no sound through headphones or external speakers. I do get audio to my TV through HDMI however.
I had no problems before the reinstall except that my headphone jack sensor hung up and could not be fixed so I disabled that in the registry on my old setup. After reinstall sound doesn't work with or without the jack sensing disabled.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
