I just reformatted my laptop last night and I have installed all the updates including the Service Pack 2 for vista....But to my suprise i cant hear any sound .....I went to device manager and it shows that the sound card drivers are up to date are enabled.....please guide as to what is happening....
Any help will be much appreciated as I dont want to go through the pain of reformatting it all over again to factory settings...

Hi,

Thanx for a quick reply mate..... When I open device manager and go under the, "sound, video & game controller", I can read the following....

IDT High Defination Audio Codec
and
NVIDIA High Defination audio...

I hope it answers your question.

Hi Josh,

Not a blue screen instead when I restarted it it said unable to match activation key for vista please contact HP.... Now it's all good.... I have restored it back to factory settings..... Just need ur advice whether should I try again installing service pack 2 or should I just ignore it.... I only needed it to install Internet explorer 9...

Cheers

IE 9 Is in it's Beta Stages so I wouldn't use it unless your System is Perfect

I would Install the Updates in Small Steps at a time some Updates do not go well with each other when installed and Cause Problems Make sure you have Service pack 1 and have installed all the Updates before moving onto Service Pack 2

Hope This Helps,
Josh

Hi,

I had someting like this happen to me with a windows driver update!

The main difference to what you seem to be experiencing is my sound device was active in the bios but lost in the system (Not there in wndows) a HP system too.

I would suggest you vist the HP website & download the original drivers for your operating system & version of Windows.

I had to "force active" in the bios to get my system up & running again (After a fresh install. Oh well, hind sight is wounderful!)
