I would update the sound driver. That will most likely do it.

It's very hard to solve this problem :confused:.

1.First try another "MS Fix" for Audio No Sound in Windows
2.If point 1 will fail too,flash new BIOS and update drivers for chipset.

Workaround this problem (but not solution!) is uninstalling SP2 and hide it :sleepy:.

I suggest contact with manufacturer support

What is your computer model?

I have the same issue. I have a HP DV9925nr with Vista Home Premium 64bit. A few days ago I had Windows conduct updates and I lost the sound. I thought nothing of it and had Vista update itself to SP2. I had this issue before and after SP2. The sound icon has the "x" over it and lists "no audio output device installed." I have downloaded the Conexant driver several times for my computer and to no avail. I have searched for the speaker device on my computer but it does not exist. When I go to device manager, there is no folder for speakers nor audio. My computer believes that the speakers themselves do not exist. The several remedies that people have posted have offered me nothing. I am not the true computer wiz, but I know that something is seriously wrong with my computer.

*I have also tried using headphones, but I get absolutely nothing out of them.

This driver is for Service Pack 1. Not sure if that affects anything though.
There are not drivers special for SP1 or SP2 or for systems without any SP :sarc:. Driver is not updated for two years but it has nothing to that (theoretically).Of course practically sometimes is possible to have problem with compatbility with any hotfix or service pack.
