No Sound - Realtek HD Audio
My last resort though perhaps it should have been the first but I have been all over the web looking for a solution to this problem, the problem being no sound. Where here I am the speaker icon displaying a red cross and when I try to troubleshoot the issue the troubleshooter tells me no speakers or headphones are connected and that is the end of that but still no sound.
Now it is I have had this machine two months now and there was sound briefly but it was erratic and then I used Windows Media player for the first time and the sound failed. Then a Windows update brought the sound back but I would lose it within five minutes of turning the machine on and now, no sound at all, it doesn't even start with sound just silence.
The machine I got pre owned with no discs, as all my funds would allow where I understand it had Vista Home Basic originally installed, but now has Win 7 Professional. It's a satisfactory machine and Win 7 I like but the sound issue is a bit of, well, a lot of a problem and so may I ask for guidance on how to repair this issue ?
