I have DL'd the latest realtek drivers and made sure all mute's are off but still nothing. If anyone knows how to fix this, you will be a better man than I.

I have the same notebook like you. And the same problem. I've googled hours
for a solution, no results, but there are some infos from other users, found
on various forums. This is NOT software problem, this is HARDWARE problem
of that HD Audio chip (which is in fact, one of that cheap shit mounted in
cheap things like my Acer... sorry - this is not IBM
). The solution for now,
is:
- to freeze notebook in refrigerator for some 1-2h (i'm not kidding! it works!),
I guess there is some problem with electronic parts of sound chip,
like capacitors, or transistors
- to return your notebook to seller and claim this is a failure, and request for repair
But, as you have Bluetooth with EDR in this Acer, try to buy a Bluetooth enabled
headphones like Motorola H-820, or Cellink BT-9000D, or something like that,
OR - buy Bluetooth enabled Audio Gateway, like Nokia AD42-W or Motorola
DC800, and feed your home stereo with it. It works as good as cable connection,
and is of course wireless. The quality is very good, because A2DP bluetooth
profile is CD-like designed.
I hope this helped you for a little
