No Audio Output Device is Installed.

I clean installed VISTA RC 2 Built 5744 on a dell 745 optiplex. It does not
play sound on in-built speaker and gives me "No Audio Output Device is
Installed." message when you hover your mouse over the audio volume icon in
system tray. When i right click on it and check Playback devices, it shows:

"Speaker
High Definition Audio Device
Not plugged in"

And its grayed out. But when i plug in my speakers or earphones, the sound
works.
I have tried installing new drivers from windows update and manufacture's
site (though they dont have any). I am using the audio device on-board the
Intel Q965 motherboard.

Please suggest
