Audio not working with Windows 7

[AMB1123]

I just installed windows 7 (new install) on a Sony VGN-FE660G Everything works great besides the sound. I spent hours trying different things, enabling disabling reinstalling the sigmatel high definition audio codec(Driver). But nothing helps. Device manager says the driver is up to date and resent but no sound, please some help me with this!!

Welcome!

Are you sure you have the correct device set as Default in Sound?

 

[AMB1123]

Yes even automatic update said it correct

King please help me with this i spent countless hours trying to fix this. Im not really sure what's going on. I dont know if you will be able to remote connect to perhaps see it yourself. Im sure your would know how to resolve this issue.

Try downloading the drivers from here: Sony eSupport - VGN-FE660G - Software Updates & Drivers

Now those are Vista drivers. It looks like that computer came with XP installed on it, so it is a little old.

Hopefully those drivers will work, but no guarantees.

I when on that site as well downloaded both vista and xp drivers but nothing helps. I really hope I can fix this issue it would be a great help for other hving the same issue. At this point it feels impossible .

Will the Vista drivers install?

i did some automatic updates. now since the window 7 is installed it recommended that i used the sigmegtel high def audio device codec. but even with it still not working.
