no sound after sleep mode

[agreenorangpeel]

Hello, I have recently installed windows 7 on my laptop and i am having the same problem i had with the beta. Upon start up, the audio works fine but after i close my laptop and it goes into sleep mode, when i come back and open it the audio no longer works. I cant hear anything. I dont know what sound card i have or how to find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated , thanks a bunch !

Hello, Welcome to the Forums!

Try typing msinfo.exe into the run box and it should show you your specs. Alternatively, you could download Speccy, and it will make things a lot easier.

After you find your sound card, try going to the manufacturer's site and downloading drivers for it. They are usually located in the support section.

Hope this help,
~Jonathan

Hello Jonathan, thanks for your help. Unfortunately under Audio my sound card is listed as High Definition Audio Device. That doesn't really tell much. I just found this post http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/30965-no-sound-after-sleeep.html with someone who had the exact same computer as me and the exact same problem so maybe ill try to message them about it.

--EDIT--
IDT/SigmaTel Audio Driver Version: 6.10.5939.0 Download, extract, run setup it works awesome now . Apparently this is a problem that gateways have ^ ^ !
