Hi Chaps,
In the last week or so I've tried several things to get my laptop to find it own internal speakers.
I spoke to technical support via the PC specialist website, downloaded the new drivers but it said there were better drivers already installed. I uninstalled the speakers via device manager and all other Realtek Digital Outputs (no idea what these even are), restarted, got a blue screen then when it restarted a second time hey presto - sound again. But, next time i turned it off/on there was no sound again and the speakers once again don't show in device manager. Now it only shows the Realtek Digital things which as far as i can tell do sod all.
The only thing I've changed (around about the time the issue started) was paying for another year on the Bullguard anti virus. It hasn't given me any alerts saying its stopped anything or whatever though.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks,
Dale.
