    No sound after updates


    I have a Dell Precision M65 laptop with a Sigmatel 9200 High Definition Audio card. the sound stopped working about a month ago after some updates came down. I have tried everything driver I could find to re-enable the sound but no luck. I finally backed up my C: drive (HD partitioned into C: and D: ) and did a clean install of Win 7 pro and now I have sound... I know thats a drastic fix but I was desperate for sound, and tired of trying different drivers from unknown, untrusted and untested sources lest I end up with a virus and lose everything.

    In all my searching no one ever suggested a clean install to resolve the issue so I thought I'd post what finally worked for me.

    Just my experience yours may vary...

Hi there, new to the forums and thought I'd ask this question since I can't seem to find any real answer on here via search or on Google. My computer tower has begun recently making a "clicking" noise on Restart/Shutdown and I am having trouble finding out if it is my HDD or my PSU making the...
So this is what has been happening. I have apparently getting some BSOD because of what is believed to be my sound driver. I have a Creative SB Audigy 2ZS (WDM) on Windows 7 (if more information is needed then feel free to ask). So I went through a series of driver updates yesterday with the...
