Realtek ac97 speakers not working
The laptop is a compaq presario with a amd turion 1.8ghz processor, 512mb memory, 40 gig hd with 20 free.
The problem:
Sound stopped working some time back. Trying to fux now, the speaker in the notification tray has an x next to it. I've clicked it and it tries to find a solution but never finds one. In device manager, there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point unit next to the Realtek AC 97 speakers, I've tried updating the driver, but it says the best driver is already installed, I've disabled and re enabled it, ran windows update, safe booted to see if it would work. Looking for any ideas on how to proceed. TIA.
