Did you always have this problem or did it just start recently, I ask
because I installed a windows update from Realtek and lost audio just
yesterday so I went into device manager and rolled back to the previous
driver and now all is good. I think the problem is that I have SoundMAX
onboard but windows updated with RealTek drivers and if you have windows
automatically update this may have happened to you.
