And the service tag number on your system? It should be on the bottom or the back of the system. This will help me find the correct driver you are missing for your exact model.
Go HERE and then follow the picture below to get your audio driver for your system. Let me know if it works ok for you. :thumbup:

OK lets try this a different way then.

Download DriverMax and have it scan your system. It will open their website with all the out of date drivers you can update. With the free version you can update only 2 drivers per day so if you have a lot of them it will take a few days to get everything updated. I have been using it for about 4 months now and like it better then any other utility out there for keeping my drivers up to date.
Did DriverMax find a list of drivers that needed to be updated? Can you get screenshots of all the drivers it found that need to be updated please
Are you still having problems with your issue? It has been 15 days since your last response and I was wondering if the issue has been resolved?
